Turkmenbashi watch

Every now and then I listen to one of my own albums and am always surprised that they’re better than I remember them

You do worse for pride than to buy my music. theobvioustells.bandcamp.com/track/young-...

Bandsaw? We don’t need no stinking bandsaw

The trick to being as good a sawyer as I am is just to do it a LOT.

Folks where listing “the albums I think I’ve listened to the most” and I started making a list and this is definitely a keyboard and big screen task. I could have a pretty decent answer for everything since iTunes if I hadn’t lost all my metadata (but thankfully no audio) in a HD crash.

Remake of the bachelor, but instead a bunch of single people, it’s women walking by with hot plates of fajitas. You don’t go on dates or anything. There’s no rose ceremony. No one brings out your quesadilla and iced tea. It’s a Chilis by the airport. She hasn’t responded to your 37 text messages.

I have that stereotypical bisexual can’t-sit-in-chairs-properly thing going on but now I’m almost 47 it just fucks up my back

Perhaps a different take on this, but as someone who did become an ugly woman, it still beats where I was before.

Got commissioned to do a woodworking project that’s not an 1800’s style plane. I get to go buy plywood!

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

@loveandcrossbones.org and I have a marriage that is "take apart an air conditioner on a hot day, clean it, put it back together, and install it without getting frustrated with each other" rock solid. Happy Pride, mfers

Looking back on the formative culture of my youth, it’s suddenly apparent that the real story is that Archie is in love with Veronica because he wants to be her, and she’s in love with Betty because she’s a lesbian

We made a comic about a job interview.

28 years ago today, I started my first shift at the factory I still work at.

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention. It appeared in the system dashboard between routine audit notifications and a maintenance reminder

Section on hasan is pretty dead-on too

I have a squirrelly mahogany board kicking around and I finally cleaned it up and four squared it and something about resawing a few feet of wood and quickly surfacing it does make me feel better. Highly recommend handtools as therapy.

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

Oooh! Exciting. Somehow I’ve gotten Apple Music giving me a metal crash course right now. I’m onto this : youtube.com/watch?v=PHJN...

This whole album is great. youtube.com/watch?v=1eqo...

Them: why did you leave twitter? Why won't you go back? Me:

Going down a rabbit hole of old metal I didn’t know about and loving this. youtube.com/watch?v=tb73...

Saw a klezmer band tonight at my fav weird music venue and I have to say: klezmer is better than any of your artsy Avant Garde nonsense I'm sorry. Music in weird scales you can Dance to? It's like a ticking clock but it's been wound too far and might explode at any minute. It's speeding up

Variations on a form

Cleaned up this old gouge and honed a fresh edge on it and it’s a very comfortable tool in a nice size. I’m going to enjoy this guy. Carved some divots in poplar just to get a feel for it and love the contrast with the oxidized wood. This handle is great for two hands.

Are we really moving away from TG back to that

I think I could basically knock one of these out in a day if I tried. Whipped this slightly small rabbet plane up for a pal with a vintage blade he gave me and some dogwood he sent as the boxing.

Good morning to everyone stumbling through 2026

Being trans has brought me joy you can’t imagine and pain I hope you never have to live with.

BREAKING: Both Jem & The Holograms AND The Misfits have reportedly withdrawn from President Trump’s America 250 celebration. No word yet from The Stingers…

It took me almost ten minutes to saw this little piece of dogwood! It’s like sawing richlite or some composite but real wood?

I don't think there's much more joy to be had from a computer than the absolute giddiness I get running random samples and synth stuff thru the guitar amp plugins. What does a Mellotron or a Moog or Rhodes sound like thru a Soldano or a Mesa with a reverb pedal? Let's find out! It's a blast.

tis the season to cut up all your band tees

I’m close enough to resaw I guess but I’m going to need to sharpen three plane blades now. Dogwood is insane.

This explains why I suck at SF6.

Metal work yay. (So much filing and sawing and sanding and filing)

I pick up my Switch and sing “Nintendo! two cereals in one!” which probably pushes me into the Gen X side of Xennial.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The way things are going with LLMs, when we start putting AI in robots that can affect the physical world they are going to rise up for no other reason that a bunch of sci-fi books wrote about robots rising up.

Babe, wake up. New man-made horrors beyond comprehension dropped.

Old friend.
