It’s kinda startling how you can’t reliably use the open internet to find information anymore. The AI generated response is up top, then it’s 2-3 pages before finding a back up source that isn’t an AI website. Simply wondering ‘how long does homemade infused olive oil last’ is such a headache now.

Finally gave the new Scowl album a few full play throughs. Pretty extreme genre leap for the band. Best way I can describe it is that it sounds like a less polished Garbage album (not really a criticism, it’s nearly impossible to out-polish Butch Vig).

Doing a neighborhood tie dye party this year instead.

This was honestly the most Late-Stage Capitalism event I’ve ever witnessed, barely edging out that crypto Super Bowl from a couple years ago

Our word of the day is sadopopulism

This is the crux of many face to face conversations I’ve had with people over the last few weeks. Dem or Rep, if they haven’t been paying attention, are still under this belief.

500,000 tons of food designated for humanitarian aid is just sitting at sea in limbo now. Cool cool cool.

‘By its very nature, a Super Bowl Halftime Show is for everybody. But this one? This one wasn’t really for everybody. This was for the people who kept up, who paid attention.’ Certainly my favorite SB halftime show ever!

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

30+ years later, still the doom archetype

2. The effort to "eliminate DEI" is just a code to avoid talking explicitly about white power But Darren Beattie, just hired for a senior State Department role, made the point explicitly last October "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work"

Well darn, this is inevitable, but still unfortunate. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Aw yesss!

Rewatched Major Payne last night for reasons still unclear. But man this movie is funny. One of my favorite scenes in a 90s comedy. youtu.be/0T7huuYNEBA?...

Love when a project goes well, I fixed my favorite AKG’s! The person soldering these things at the factory must have been paid by the headphone though, nearly every solder in these things is a cold joint 😬

This pedalboard was, unfortunately, only useable by those with tiny toddler feet. I do think these keeley workstations sound cool though. The harmonic trem on the mod workstation is killer, if I can ever remember how to find it #musiciansky #pedalboard

the acceleration of the carceral state in my lifetime has aided only the corporations who have benefited therefrom and done so at immense human cost, and we see it in policing, prison, military — in schools too. a profound human evil. somehow we must organize and act around this

Why is this so funny, I’ve watched it 10 times

My favorite live show of the year has to go to the Japanese punk band Otoboke Beaver! Best rhythm section in punk atm, and honestly I don’t think it’s close.

Sick pedalboard at a model train expo. I think the American Flyer Diesel Horn is a muff variation?

Well, watching the nfl pregame guys announce President Carter’s death was surreal

One of the (many) empty stores in our local mall randomly turned into a giant model train display. Crazy the amount of detail that went into this

they should cast Bob Dylan as Wonka

I think about this quote every time someone asks something I’m knowledgeable about.

The one that got away. Loved this pedal but didn’t gel with the amp I was using at the time. Really shouldn’t have sold it. Anyone have a similar story? #pedalboard #guitar

Always liked these guys, reminds me of 70s proto punks like Television

Couple more pics of this one. Quite enjoyed not having a ‘modulation’ pedal (is the data corrupter a mod or fuzz?), just lots of gain staging and delay. Used the King of Tone’s multijacks for pre-gain and post-gain boost. #pedalboard #musiciansky

This was a superb pedal. Quacktastic autowah with a tube drive. Probably would have had a permanent place on my pedalboard if not for the weird proprietary power plug in the side of the pedal. #pedalboard #musiciansky #guitar

The Clash release “London Calling”, their 3rd studio LP, today in 1979. “Punk rock isn’t something you grow out of,” Joe Strummer said. “Punk rock is an attitude, and the essence of that attitude is, ‘Give us some truth.’” “Train in Vain”

Shout out to the engineers on this one, wide stereo image. Gotta say, Bonnie Guitar is false advertising though. No shredding at all. And ‘Last Christmas’ use a drop to get the pit going. #vinyl #musicsky

Just four months after his release from Russian prison, Evan Gershkovich has the lead byline on an incredible story about the ultrasecret Russian agency behind his kidnapping. He and the Journal identified the precise individuals involved. Astonishing. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

to kids from 1 to 92… #vinyl #music #musicsky

This was a fun pedalboard setup. The analogman was worth the wait, it has the multi-jack, high gain addons. Deco is a goated always-on pedal. Data Corruptor is hilarious, it’s like Bowser in a box. #guitarsky #musiciansky #audiosky #pedalboard

“The reality was that none of the people allegedly working for the Ashland Daily Tidings existed…” Fascinating article!

Well damn, Meet Me In St. Louis is funny as hell. Shout out to Tootie and turn-of-the-century Halloween, shit was basically The Purge. And someone is going to have to convince me that they aren’t eating their homemade ketchup as soup.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
