New Converge album delivering absolutely pummeling riffs youtu.be/oZv3ZbyZfoE?...

The old magic still flows deep, if you know where to look

Me, once every couple of years: maybe I should revisit The Astonishing, it can't be as bad as I remember. Then: thehardtimes.net/music/guy-re...

"the Trump administration is, as always, happy to make the subtext text: The penguin rocks because it’s killing itself in beautiful full-color video. Just like us." maxread.substack.com/p/suicide-ri...

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

I got very choked up in class today showing my students what James Baldwin had to say about Shakespeare: “the greatest poet in the English language found his poetry where poetry is found: in the lives of the people. he could have done this only through love…”

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

America is yearning for "it."

few things i enjoy more than linkedin weirdos getting owned this bad

Me and collaborative pianist Kira Miller, and the fabulous cast of the Grays Harbor Opera Workshop's production of Patience, opening tonight at the Bishop Center for Performing Arts.

every thanksgiving, me and my family eat thanksgiving dinner

Came across a clip of this and had to dig up the whole thing - absolutely hard AF youtu.be/bZDI12at3pw?...

One cool thing about having a tidal river running through your backyard is that a couple of times a year you will have a slack tide line up with an incredible sunset and get the most amazing reflections.

Took the scenic route home tonight.

10/10 take. No notes.

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

Frankly most of what I want to see on Bluesky could be classified as "rude"

..And here it is on YouTube. Music from the new Terralysia update, featuring beautiful synths from @uheplugins.bsky.social @spectrasonics.bsky.social Arturia & Togu Audio Line and tons of sounds from @theunfinished.bsky.social #gameaudio

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

I really have enjoyed putting this stuff together. A whole slew of synths and frosty strings, with crunchy, verbed-out guitars providing most of the tension. soundcloud.com/ian-dorsch/t...

those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station

Some new music in the update, some of my fave stuff I've written for this game.

A really charming indie game that I worked on has a demo up in Steam's Next Fest. Cool ghost in a crystal cave, perfect Halloween vibes store.steampowered.com/app/2565590/...

Real Type O Negative album cover vibes out there right now.

This is my blood

Out the North Fork of the Quinault River - we beat the first real rain of the season by about 24 hours.

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

LOGGING ON

It's time for MOAR RIFFS

Really loved this quote from Nadia Boulanger - words to live by.

I wrote about the leveling and deranging effects of the Trumpist snitchscape, and the awful content creation imperatives governing this awful moment. defector.com/the-united-s...

Just got fired for sharing a clip of Robert Redford killing an old woman because it was "taken out of context" and he was "actually playing a kind and gentle personification of death itself"

I really love how this one came out. "Fantasy synthwave" was the initial concept and it may not be exactly that, but definitely feels like its own thing.

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

government of losers

I guess you can run an emulated version of these things in software, but I'm pretty stoked to fiddle with the actual hardware. Thanks to @parnell.bsky.social for letting me play with his cool toys

i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him
