Kirby works hard, but he plays harder.

Steven Spohn is awesome

I have to admit I didn't have "failed actor and professional Hollywood asshole is happy people like me are dying" on my 2020 bingo card. https://t.co/CKOn1Lsfkg

Just a reminder, in case you forgot. Steve is great.

You can't always eat electronic music, and that's okay.

Not super happy with this one, but just going through the motions waiting for something to click again. #acid #techno #tb303 #eurorack pic.twitter.com/eTFr598wRc

Statement on the future of Shacknews Chatty

Speculation on the Shacknews Chatty that it will be shutdown or spun off. I would have done that years ago, if that was what I wanted to do.

— Productive Citizen ✌🏾💙🙏🏾👊🏾 (@technosucks) September 3, 2020

There have been several threads suggesting that my lack of posting to our Shacknews Chatty forum implies that I am done or fed up with the platform. This isn't the case. I have taken a break from posting to the forum, but I continue to participate in Shackbattles, Twitch streams, and I even post Shacknews articles like this one. For a number of reasons, I am tired. I don't feel like I can bring anything of value with posting to the community.

Over the past few weeks, I have resumed shipping stuff out to Mercury subscribers. It is my full intention to make everyone whole. If you aren't happy with the time it has taken to get your shipment, we have no problem refunding your money. I am not in a position to make any excuses. You can Shack message me here or send me an email at asif.khan@shacknews.com if you would like your money back. 

Please don't think my departure from Chatty is me hiding from any obligations created by your Mercury subscription. It isn't that at all. I made the decision to permaban myself for my own mental and physical health. The Internet is reflecting the horrible state of the human condition, and it gets worse and worse as each day passes. Our community is showing the same effects as everywhere else on the Internet, and our moderator team has done their best to balance bans with giving people some leeway. My best way forward for now is to stop posting. I am too emotionally involved in this place, and it leads to me saying stupid things without thinking. 

There you have it, Shacknews. Your Evening Reading for September 3, 2020. Please consider subscribing to Shacknews Mercury to support our site for as little as $1/month. Here is a photo of Lola to brighten your night.

What are you up to tonight? Let us know in the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below.
