Yesterday in Omaha I saw Swans perform. It was great. It was loud. Thank you, Swans.

I was looking through my old stuff and found this journal article about Golden Girls I made a copy of for a college paper.

Should I write my piece about all the video games that we know Prince played, starting with Oregon Trail when he beta tested the very first version as a middle schooler?

Who else on this website is dressing as ALF for Halloween?

Post a meme made by you.

Demon cat.

Congratulations, work IT security training video starring Jon Lovitz, you figured out how to have me gladly pay attention.

bawitaba is short for "baby with a badattitude"

I love this website because sometimes you're replying to someone and they're like "as someone who lives in a bowling alley..."

Preorder my friend’s new book! I just did. It’s a comic book cookbook about cocktails. This is the fourth cookbook they’ve illustrated. The other three: Let’s Make Ramen! Let’s Make Dumplings! Let’s Make Bread!

GUESS WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO PREORDER?!! ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ It's my new book!! My first solo book!! It'll be out in April!! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/771958...

“Maybe he’ll give us food later”

Radio.

Squirrel and I agree: it’s too hot.

I’m about 26 years late to the party, but I finally listened to the entirety of 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields. It was excessive & magnificent. Although more synths than I was expecting. youtu.be/7FtbrDFgB_4

15 years ago today I barely made it in time to see Lightning Bolt put on a great show at Gabe’s in Iowa City. Halfway there the Megabus I took from Des Moines broke down but luckily the replacement bus arrived just in time.

Current mood: truck headlight full of rainwater with a CD of Neil Young’s Harvest on the dash.

Will I regret not buying this?

Vroom.

I’m married to a ghost of the Oregon coast.

I just bought Death Stranding 2. I enjoyed the first one, and it was the superlative-est weird, Lynchian, actiony, creative walking simulator I’ve ever played.

I’ve been playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, a blocky-pixeled-beauty from 1997. It’s good. I see why it’s gained cult status. The one thing I don’t like is the button combos to cast spells.

I cancelled my Evernote subscription today after about 11 years of use. Seemed silly to pay that monthly fee when the built in Apple stuff does what I need. Imported almost 1,000 notes into Apple Notes on my Mac. Seems to be working fine.

dear trans people: I believe your liberation is bound up with mine. you are not a distraction. I love you. Chuck Schumer is a dinosaur who can go pound sand. kick rocks. eat shit.

RIP Brian Wilson. Makes me think of those Doonesbury comics where a character who has AIDS is comforted in their final days by listening to Pet Sounds.

Pokémon tarot readings. By Pokémon expert.

I am currently at Pride in Des Moines, waiting for Bob the Drag Queen to perform, a drag queen I became familiar with from them being a great guest/player on a D&D show I watch. @dimension20.bsky.social

*stands up, puts hand on heart*

I just saw a teen walking around in the exact same NIN shirt I had 30 years ago.

Close encounter of the squinny kind.

Door: stopped.

Beyblades is short for Beyoncé Blades

Oops. I did it again. I watched another lengthy video about the history of a video game franchise. This time it was Castlevania and its 33 games clocking in at over 7 hours. youtu.be/peVgerhXJlU

Shout-out to British synth guy Nick Batt of @sonicstate.bsky.social for wearing the Tommy Bahama-esque shirt to Superbooth in Berlin they bought in California at a different music gear convention. Hooray for positive international collaboration.

When people tell me as a bearded millennial man that I can’t express every social, political, and cultural opinion I’ve ever had through Simpsons screengrabs and to instead look at books and great works of art

I am waiting for Future Islands.

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. Repo Man -> Repo Men

Reintroduce an all-electric version of this and sell a million of them to liberal men.

"LET ME MAKE YOU FIRED"

Kirby car spotted in West Des Moines, Iowa.

I somehow managed to watch all 3.75 hours of someone describing many many Indiana Jones video games. I’m not even a big Indiana Jones fan. I’ve only partially played one of the games (Fate Of Atlantis). Now I know. youtu.be/8PbXyoS6wUU

Here are some nice mushrooms

I am roller skating at a concert.

I am attempting to cat-proof a synthesizer.

Oh, look, a skeet about my dog.
