New music for my old dudes... Just discovered Flatwounds, and damn they're doing solid grunge/alt-hard rock. I look forward to seeing where they go. youtu.be/wMisxKZ4Td0?...

Minecraft is a whole level of parental Hell unto itself. I cannot count the number of hours I've lost figuring out login issues. This is compounded by playing on non-Microsoft devices that have their own login and permission layers on top of it all.

Best five gigs attended, pass it on: - Mr. Bungle - Slipknot - Ministry - Author & Punisher - Child Bite

One of the fun challenges of being a solo web designer + front end dev is that I have the opportunity to work out complex communication challenges through rapid iteration.

Gross.

I'd much rather have music recommendation engines based on "a person in this band was also in that other band you like" and "these folk opened for that band once" than whatever fuckery goes into current music app algorithms.

Geggy Tah popped on during my drive into work this morning. Their music is delightful, weird and poppy for its time. I've loved it ever since middle school and you should enjoy it too. youtu.be/1jSOQBcz9hc?...

Everything I've read about the Lego Smart Bricks make it sound a lot more fun for adult collectors who aren't comfortable doing voices and making sound effects, whereas kids love doing that. It's part of the core of imaginative play that Lego facilitates.

A fun one from Dean (Electronic Sounds) to start off your day. youtu.be/fMfseSZ_czY?...

I’m excited to say that I will have a piece in the upcoming Friday the 13th art book coming in April from @printedinblood.bsky.social You can preorder your copy at printedinblood.com/product/frid...

We've been reading this as a family this holiday season. It is a delight. but the kerning between the 'n' and the 'd' is driving me a little nuts.

Following up on the previous post... I've learned that The Mae-Shi recently reformed and then evolved into @hlllyh.bsky.social and are continuing to make utterly delightful noise pop: youtu.be/ksv6mqUn8dk?...

My kiddo is learning the Gravity Falls theme song on guitar this week. This prompted a quick chat with his Uncle Scooter, my favorite music nerd. He reminded me that Brad Breeck was in The Mae-Shi, who put out this delightful banger, Run to Your Grave. Give it a listen: youtu.be/Lxw2BJt1NkA?...

From a dev perspective, I'd rather have the latest CSS features available in all of my browsers than having different kinds of AI shoe horned into my browsing experience.

Hey JD, they are not KIDS. These people are full-grown adults. Adults vying for political power. Adults who will turn their vile beliefs into policy if they ever get the kind of control they so desperately want.

Rainy days are perfect for enjoying a damn fine cup of coffee. Also, there’s a sale going on in my shop. You should probably treat yourself to a wicked cool new t-shirt. goodtimeseod.threadless.com/designs/cthu...

Saturday Art Share

This looks like something I would have designed in 5th grade after buying my first Punisher comic. Why are there so many man-babies throughout the highest levels of our government?

Funny that @moreperfectunion.bsky.social came out with this. We were just discussing how terrible tech-centric learning is for our son. We’ve seen this directly since he entered middle school and started a curriculum the revolves around doing everything on a Chromebook. youtu.be/aByWLQ7h2n0?...

Art vs Artist 🖤

Do yourself a favor and check out Revocation's video for Dystopian Vermin. Then pick up their new album 'New Gods, New Masters' from @metalbladerecords.bsky.social youtu.be/GdIy-LEnU_M?...

✨Happy Rapture Day, SINNERS!✨ If you’re reading this, congrats, you didn’t make the cut.

I have never met anyone in real life who is 1/10th as concerned about trans people existing in public spaces as the media and politicians are. Most people, and I mean this in the most complimentary way possible, truly don't give a shit. You learn someone's pronouns and you go on with your life.

There is a special place in hell for flippers who reglaze paned windows with silicone caulk 🤬

The Labor Day sale on my @threadless.bsky.social shop will continue until 5pm CDT tomorrow, 9/9. It's a great time to pick up my latest design, Keep on Shuck'n. Perfect for those who love wearing red and eating corn. goodtimeseod.threadless.com/designs/keep...

I have a new design for my fellow midwesterners on my @threadless.bsky.social shop. 'Keep on Shuck'n' comes in two flavors, Nostalgic Halftones and Face-Melting Full-Color. goodtimeseod.threadless.com

Artists, quote with your yellow art

Oh great… our natural gas provider, Black Hills Energy, is merging with NorthWestern Energy who I recognized from recently being featured in a @moreperfectunion.bsky.social video on why utility bills are so high. youtu.be/PymMikfkiLk?...

The decline of Gundam has less to do with kids playing video games and more that outside of cool looking giant robots fighting, the plot of the Gundam anime revolves around mopey emo teens that kids don't enjoy watching.

I'm always delighted when someone buys a shirt off my @threadless.bsky.social shop. I'm doubly amused that "Certified Fun Hater" is my #1 seller. goodtimeseod.threadless.com/designs/fun-...

I can't wait for @lordsofacid.bsky.social to release a track inspired by this.

It'd be fine by me if all they stocked were various sizes of the Billy Bookcase. My kid's Lego collection is out of hand.

Scary stuff from the guy who sat in an EV and proclaimed, "EVERYTHING'S COMPUTERS"

That is the face of a man trying to look calm and collected when he clearly knows he done f'ed up. but probably not, since these hucksters tend to be oblivious to the harm their technology unleashes on society.

Taking a quick break from an incredibly boring copy/paste project hellscape of my own making to ask an important question… Should I plaster this decaying lech onto some merch in my @threadless.bsky.social shop?

There's a $12 t-shirt sale running on my @threadless.bsky.social shop now through this weekend. Find these and more tasty designs at goodtimeseod.threadless.com #BlueskyNightMarket

I always feel a bit sad when I learn that a friend is gluten intolerant. So many things that make life enjoyable are chock full of gluten. Pizza, pasta, hoagies, cookies, and pastries. So many good things.

The only reason profits from music should be used to develop deadly robots is if we are at war with the vampire nation and want to dispose of the blood suckers in the most gnarly way possible.

Of course there are people out there trying to privatize weather forecasting 🤦‍♂️ Real talk: When has privatizing services that benefit the public ever turned out good for everyone and not just the shareholders getting fat off public money? I’d honestly like to know.

Please stop pretending that making "The Client List" public will have any impact on the current state of things. HE will not lose supporters if it's revealed that he's an even bigger creep. Any legal action on this matter will be drug out indefinitely. Any of his friends will be pardoned.

For Small Business Saturday (and every day), consider supporting independent arts, crafts and more direct from creators right here on Bluesky! I worked with @davis.social to make the #BlueSkyNightMarket feed; add it here to shop: bsky.app/profile/did:... Creators, check the flyer to participate!

Currently listening to a Jungle playlist. It's not my usual (sub)genre. All I can think of is how incredible the Amen Break is that an entire genre of electronic music was made out of remixing that one sample. (joking/not-joking) 🫶

Absolutely incredible soundtrack for this rainy Tuesday in our techno dystopia.

I was just using the unprovoked violence during the Ghormon protests in Andor to help my kid understand what he’s seen in the news this week.

If you see this share a skeleton

Been seeing a lot of AI generated muppet crap lately. Screw that. If you want puppet metal, go for the top grade human made good good, like this classic @authorandpunisher.bsky.social video from my mate Foam Foolery. youtu.be/dO3schSBOw0?...

Working in Higher Ed web often means keeping up with who's doing what with Drupal, as such I've been following Palantir.net for years. With all of the dystopian shit that the OTHER Palantir is up to, it's great to see the original pointing out that they are not us. www.palantir.net/blog/palanti...

As an old house person I’ve never had to deal with HOAs but the more horror stories I hear the more I’m convinced that HOAs were invented as a psyop to test how easily suburbanites would accept fascist dictatorships as long as the grass stayed neatly trimmed.
