“I don’t know what it’s like to not be me.”

And that day she was amazed to discover that when Lydia said “I am sworn to carry your burdens” what she really meant was “I love you.”

Safe You are safe While I Watch the cliff edge crumble Feel the flames creep closer Slip closer To the end Of the rope But you are safe

Just gliding through 🦦

Back in the EIGHTIES We rapped like THIS Three white GUYS And a lot of tape HISS

I have signed up for a small community college program I'll talk about sometime later maybe, and it has an online component. It's been about fifteen years since I last had to deal with student-facing software for colleges, and I am sorry to say that Canvas is still absolute dogshit.

Here's "Select All Bicycles," published in Uncharted in March. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/sele...

Once a friend and I were chatting and walking into a record store in Northampton, Massachusetts, when we ran into David Crosby on his way out (literally. *thump*). We didn't recognize him, hastily apologized, and then a minute or so later were like "Wait, was that David Crosby?" Yes, it was.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Sakamoto, wherever you are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGs_...

Tiny Tim, who DID NOT die, fled through the desert while the gunslinger followed.

O! do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone, That thee I shall not celebrate, When I remember thou wast one. John Donne was such an obsessive emo kid, writing twisty phrases that wrapped around themselves in order to be weird about whoever he was into. 1/

Not to defend Whole Foods or anything, but instead of tedious Christmas music, the WF in Sunnyvale appears to be leaning hard into yacht rock. There are worse things than Christopher Cross to chill to whilst picking up mildly overpriced produce.

The 7th volume of the Aetherwaves compilation is out today as well! All tracks made using AE Modular gear from Tangible Waves (and 3rd party module makers, including me 😃) and all proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders. aetherwaves.bandcamp.com/album/ther-w... #synthsky #aemodular #modular

It’s just about Bandcamp Friday again, so here’s my EP. Clangs and droney atmosphere. My attempt at modular shoegaze, which was not shoegaze but was pretty cool anyway. manysmallfunctions.bandcamp.com/album/hills-... #synthsky

I made a floating hands pushing buttons video, yay. The Beat Friend is pretty great. youtu.be/QbzdciFhLd8 #synthsky #lofi #couchjam

Ah, December, the season when people who get songs stuck in their heads dread buying groceries. I need to start wearing headphones to Safeway.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Definite mood.

Just so "people" liking random old posts know-- if I look at your profile and all your posts are AI slop with ads for your youtube channel and links to place to learn to prompt AI midjourney or whatever, I will immediately block you. That's 3 now.

Rogue Ales, makers of some deeply mid and often crappy beers, finally went out of business: katu.com/news/local/l... ...why does this not surprise me? 1/

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

... what was needed to make it complete.

Fiancee is out of town so I've got a free evening, a bottle of cheap pinot noir, and Power Wash Simulator 2. LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #powerwashsimulator #makeitallshine

So I'm trying very hard to finish the last bits of Silksong in the next 5 days or so because I know once Power Wash Simulator 2 arrives I'll probably just play that while blissfully sinking into the couch for weeks. (I'll take breaks for Hades 2, but honestly PWS2 is my big game of 2025.)

At last a chip targeted firmly at my own personal demographic.

Sensory language leaves us with no habit for lying We are hostile aliens immune from dying

The NYT Spelling Bee word lists typically include English words, Hawaiian words (but not all Hawaiian words!), random slang the editor thinks is words and items on the menu at Indian restaurants. The decisions about what to include and what not to include are often confounding.

I think I wouldn't mind AI results on my searches and stuff like Facebook if it wasn't always so insultingly stupid. Under a comic strip: "What's the story of this comic strip?" is a suggested question. On a lyric search: "You seem to be mistaken. That song is not by [foo]."

Welcome to the internet ca. 2003 Important to note that Youtube did not exist, and this is the kind of quality shit you would get handed as a .avi file on a zip disk from a friend at school, who had downloaded it from some shady Limewire or Hotline server. h/t @chrisdeleon.bsky.social

I done preordered this here book from @bitterkarella.bsky.social and and I will flaunt it in public and everything

We say that we’re in love while secretly wishing for rain Sipping coke and playing games September’s here again

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Not feeling it tonight for music-making, so I'll just leave Logic open and all my gear turned on while I listen to Slowdive records and get good and depressed about not having actually done anything musicky in a couple of months. At least the Slowdive records are good. #synthsky

Yesterday, at approximately 9:30pm U.S. Central Daylight Time, somebody aboard the International Space Station rocked an astronomically impressive piss:

In the interest of being less of a lump and maybe getting some upper body strength to match the Wattage Bazookas, I've been keeping dumbbells on the couch so I can turn fidgeting into exercise. Today I'm listening to a Falco 12" B-side, "Auf der Flucht" (On The Run).

I used to listen to Joe Jackson's "Steppin Out"-- the lines "we are young but getting old before our times" and think, yeah, that's me. Now I'm 53 and feeling it, but there's this part of me that still thinks I'm, say, 26 years old, and I haven't made a couple of terrible decisions yet...

I name this minute eternity and wait for it to pass www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Ue...

long ago we could only receive our vaguely-local college radio station with the help of a long piece of copper wire attached to a boom box and carefully aligned toward the signals from Eugene. One of the songs I heard once or twice was "One Of Our Girls Has Gone Missing" by A.C. Marias. 1/?

Wire mother is nice and all that but I’m more into wire milf

Blade Runner is a movie about how humanity has a right to kill God for his crimes against us and that's great

Anyone who has restored vintage music gear knows what a joke this is. #synthsky #vintagesynths #lol

I think that if you are the kind of person who would wear an “Alligator Alcatraz” t-shirt you shouldn’t be allowed to go to state parks that were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

the sound of him hitting the floor was so familiar, where had i heard that before...

Aw dang, Remco is out? I know yesterday looked rough but I didn't realize he was feeling that bad. That's a pity-- he's always such a great rider. I watched him in the Olympics and always cheer for him. Best wishes for a recovery and future races. #tdf2025

Welp #tdf2025

So I guess it is a fairly fancy toaster.
