I'm at the modem. I'm at the sound card. I'm at the combination sound card / modem.

Do I need to do some kind of certificate program to become a paid anarchist, or can you just lie about it like being forklift certified?

Frog’s take on the current state of things

I love finding out about old buzzy, churning indie rock: dromedaryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/via

eddie vedder as both a pirate and an overly protective father: uunnnnnghhhARR, don't call me daughter!

I wanted to play guitar, but cut my finger, so I dug out my yamaha reface cp instead. With the clav preset and lots of drive, I can muck about with the analog delay to *simulate* the sound of tuning an electric guitar. This might be the dumbest thing I've ever done musically, but I am happy.

saw a frog this morning

Went into a store that still had vestigial pneumatic tubes, became unreasonably excited. The childhood fantasy of tiny people/animals/demi-humans using them for transport will not be denied.

I had a dream that I met Ian Mackaye and asked him if he liked any bands that identify as or could be construed as shoegazers, and he said: "No." :(

spoken language is a bubble pheromones and gesture are enough

I liked reading A Scanner Darkly, but every time a new character gets introduced, I'm like: "I'm so sorry, this is going to go poorly for you."

I assume at some point in the near future casinos will just become coin-op raid shadow legends lan parties.

One of the dudes who has the same name as me but who can't figure out that my email isn't his had a recent trip to Vegas. The casino marketing emails are almost indistinguishable from free to play games, like gotta act fast to unlock achievements to earn multiple different premium currencies.

AAAAHHH I CAN'T PROCESS ANY MORE OF THIS ITS TOO FUCKING CUTE!!! Goodnight! #birds 🐣

I love this clump of trees so much #trees #nature #photo

Behind the bastards did a double episode this year about the nazi legal theorist carl schmitt, who realized you can destroy liberal states by starting at the existing borders and pushing inward Bc that's where those states admit they don't believe everyone has the same rights/status/personhood

when it's time to tear down confederate statues again, let's throw them in the volcano

Cuties Everywhere 💛🖤

The wildfire smoke has arrived, draw distance reduced to lower polygon count. Body has decided that being itchy will help the situation.

the theory: it's hard to be hopeless about the future when there's banana bread in the oven the practice: I can't believe I've brought something so pure into this terrible corrupting world. I have created a thing that exists only to suffer, and be consumed. and when it is gone. it will be forgotten

yeah, i read theory

Listening to music in my car is fun because one of the speakers cuts out sometimes when I go over a bump in the road, and then comes back a couple weeks later when I hit another bump just right. I notice different things about the music when half of it goes away.

That abrasive, trebly, mangled-by-chorus kinda punk guitar sound is easy to get wrong, but these guys get it so, so right. Absolutely scratches my early Hüsker Dü / Rites of Spring itch. enemicinterior.bandcamp.com/album/col-le... #punk

When they need a guy to go "ungh, Shakira, Shakira" on a Shakira song, do they book a specific guy before hand or do they just draw from the natural reservoir of guys doing that in whatever biome Shakira happens to situated in?

having a garbage strike during the heat wave is *chef kiss*

implementing volumetric brain fog for greater realism

*forklift beeps while backing up* "Hey, the foreman and I saw you from across the warehouse and we really dig your vi..." *forklift crashes, shelves cascade into one another, my unconscious form twitches beneath the rubble as the forklift continues beeping*

3 AM Brain: Wake, there is something important to do! me: OK 3 AM Brain: Feel regret about throwing away your teenage journals ten years ago, not because they were deep, but because it's sad that you wished to extinguish that version of yourself. me: Damn. Also, this could have waited until 6:30

I hear Metallica's The Four Horsemen and my brain helpfully adds: "there was music in a Godfather's Pizza commercial in the late '80s that had the same rhythm as the verse riff." cook-a-da, cook-a-da, cook-a-da piz-za

Small business security culture: "here's your short, unchangeable password for the ERP system which is the same as other people's passwords for a bunch of other things."

Today is June 30 in Tokyo. Tomorrow marks the beginning of the second half of 2025. In this muggy heat, where it wouldn’t be surprising to hear the faint sound of cicadas in the distance, a cool musical gift has arrived from KEXP, like dappled sunlight swaying through the grass. I love this.

In this moment of anxiety, please enjoy a baby goose falling out of an adult gooses wing. Yes I wrote that sentence. Yes this happened. Yes it's ADORABLE. No I don't think I'll capture a cuter goose moment this year. 🐣 🪶
