When people complain about bike lanes and then say “well what happens when it snows?”

I can't explain why but no one with influence should be allowed to have a podcast. If you accidentally become influential *due to* having a podcast it should be immediately shut down

Start a band

A solid-state powered EV on the road in the first quarter of 2026! It's happening, and it's a motorcycle. I talked to the CTO of Donut Lab and CEO of Verge Motorcycles about the news and what it means, not just for vehicles but everything out there with a battery inside.

Yes, this looks like a big deal in batteries. I talked to Donut Lab's CEO Marko Lehtimäkki a few minutes ago at CES, who said to expect news involving cars "very soon" and also mentioned that an unnamed train manufacturer had visited them here today.

Just because I’m not at CES doesn’t mean you can’t put on your own karaoke party night GINGERCAST forever

I made a t-shirt last night after I read that Satya Nadella post about how mean we're being by calling AI slop slop. I'm sad I couldn't get it here in time for the CES keynotes tomorrow.

my fav tech reporters are the ones that burned out 8-10 years ago and give zero fucks and post about coffee and trees and shit.

i'm not at CES, but I'm doing CES work which means writing 1,300 words about [REDACTED] on a Sunday that goes live at 4pm pt.

Nico learning about the international and war crimes committed by the United States today.

it's honestly an insult to Dick Cheney's months of intelligence and media manipulation for Trump to just do this. Nobody wants to work anymore.

The security reason to electrify transport is not about oil imports, it’s economic resilience. Oil powers 90% of US vehicles, so when the price of oil spikes because of a war, people & companies pay more for energy, which hurts the economy. The more transport is electrified, econ security goes up.

What a day

Rubio always looks like he’s just realized he’ll burn in hell for an eternity for what he’s done

Apropos of...everything a reminder that I have a list of accounts that regularly post relaxing and random stuff. It features NO NEWS. If you're trapped scrolling and need to shift your attention to something calmer it's a good way to do it. You can also pin it to your feeds bsky.app/profile/did:...

Me walking into 2026

Zohran is already making Regular People's lives harder...

I saw a life-changing Operation Ivy show there back in the day, the entire audience carpooled home to the East Bay, RIP

It’s so hard for locally-owned venues. Go out more. See more bands. Netflix will be there when you get back. Make memories because it all slips away far too soon. No one turns 80 and says “remember that time we watched TV on a Saturday night?”

WOW!!!!!!!

Someone in one of my bands said we should bring back the Beck/Beastie Boys band, and I'm sorry, but no. Ok, maybe the Beck part of the band.

hopefully this year America will stop being at war with its inhabitants and the world.

everyone's parents: You will get more conservative as you age me at 46: legalize all drugs, abolish prison for all nonviolent offenses, and force the politicians with the lowest approval rating to participate in The Running Man once a month

backing up 2025 right now to make space for 2026.

i'm bidding on two guitar amps. I do not need two guitar amps. I have three guitar amps I need to sell right now. Does anyone want to buy a guitar amp?

Fun fact: I've been accused of being on drugs since I was a teenager because of my behavior some of the stuff that comes out of my mouth. Nope, that's just me.

"Stellantis is bringing back the Hellcat-powered Ram TRX for late 2026 at about $100K, because nothing says, 'We’re tackling affordability' like a 777-hp halo truck with a six-figure sticker." ROTFL.

When my cat dozes off on my chest

your dental plan just reset. Go forth and get them teeths looked at

We are not the same. I just got extremely irritated to find out the cookie I thought was oatmeal raisin is in fact, chocolate chip. Ugh. We are not the same.

Re-upping this @coyotemedia.org article from November for my fellow Californians for reasons that speak for themselves.

I watched mission impossible final reckoning which is just: Exposition Flashbacks Explosion Running Repeat

hi bands and churches, I'm thinking of getting an app-controllable mixing board for in-ears. Which ones do you recommend? I'm looking at: Heath and Allen CQ-20 B (even though there are not enough outputs) and Makie DL 16SE (even though I don't trust them to continue app support) Thoughts

i don't have any plans for tonight. Lots of people thought I had a gig. I do not. But if I get 100 likes on this post, I'll stream a Daft Punk DJ session on Twitch for funsies at, let's say, 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET. Like early, because I'll have to set stuff up if this happens

Praise our lord and savior Dolly Parton. Buttons are back baby.
