During the sandwich guy proceedings, I kept thinking about the Galaxy Quest guns.

I nominate Vrbo for a @kevlin.bsky.social. (And for clarity, this is after several attempts to engage with the chatbot to ask about an issue with my booking, which it tells me I don't even have.)

Ever encounter this one before, @deviantollam.bsky.social ?

The 70-year saga of the Uncle Sam billboard on I-5 south of Chehalis and its provocative, conservative messaging took an abrupt turn this summer when the billboard and the 3.5 acres on which it sits was purchased by the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation.

Things are getting... ...animated:

I'm sorry, Da Vinci Resolve, but the driver IS loaded. I can see him right there. Please stop popping up these silly "critical exception" error messages and let me get back to work.

A question for @kenwhite.bsky.social - I read your post about how if Kimmel were to sue the Trump admin. for rights violations, there would be little remedy except possibly injunctive relief, which might not be of much use. I wonder if there is a way he could pursue private entities for harm? 1/

We also cancelled Disney/Hulu last night. I did not expect Andor to become a live-action interactive experience with nonconsensual audience participation. (Well, I did expect it, I just didn't want it.)

We just cancelled our Dish Network service entirely, after 27 years of continuous operation. I know that Trump-buddy and Dish-founder Charlie Ergen won't feel it, but I can no longer let my $$$ go to fascists just for entertainment. Other things will be tougher, but looking for alternatives.

Thread: My maternal grandfather fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Back when I was in college, I opposed the 1st Iraq war (and later the 2nd). I was afraid to tell him, because his own life had been put on the line in a major conflict, and I thought he would disapprove... /1

Measured sympathy and benefit-of-the-doubt for spouse of slain christian-nationalist agitator now concluded. Both still in effect for the children.

Did you know that if you are carrying TriMet's Hop card when you travel, you can ride Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Hop streetcar system for free?

Been going through old newspapers for a research project. Things were really hopping in Denver in the early 80's!

Notwithstanding my recent post about cynicism and despondency, I've recently been followed by a Japanese mascot which is pro trans-rights, @chiitan-usa.bsky.social‬, and I feel that is a worthwhile, positive life accomplishment.

My cynicism is only exceeded by my despondency.

Economics is oft-derided as the “Dismal Science”, but I feel that’s unfair. However, if you want to irritate someone you’ve just met when they state that they are an economist, just say, “Oooh, that’s exciting. What recent discoveries have you made?”

Wow, there actually is a crisis in masculinity.

It is sad that the Organ Grinder restaurants are no longer around, but things aren't going so great for the competition, either: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Dear composers of requiem masses: Please do not simultaneously implore upon the creator to grant the deceased “eternal rest” AND “perpetual light”. Some people are photosensitive and will need everlasting blackout curtains.

Kids and Lego?! What gave the producers this crazy idea? Lego is a serious design tool for adults. Everyone knows that. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to convince us that Modulex is not a toy.

Magats: It's stupid to think that human activity is changing the climate. Also Magats: The floods in Texas were caused by weather manipulation tech used by the deep state.

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

I knew if I never stopped calling it “HBO” that my patience would be rewarded. Manifesting.

If an aspiring Democratic representative wanted to make a name for themselves, they should introduce a resolution commemorating the 80th anniversary of Hitler's death, and see how many R's vote against it. (And Jeffries and other leadership would need to just stay out of the way and let it happen.)

Musk has Legion Heirs disease. 😂

And last Monday my tour for the documentary brought me to Ohio - where there's a large pipe organ in a private home...

The first shoot on the Midwest tour for my documentary project - from last Sunday in Detroit. (I'm way behind on social media - been putting in 12+hr days almost every day.)

I have touched the same organ that Liberace has touched.

Has @kevlin.bsky.social been messing with my pro plan this morning? I can't wait to see what happens when this NaN hits my bank account overnight!

I think I should make a large neon sign for my bedroom that says “Don’t Doomscroll. Go to sleep.” With a scrolling LED sign below, “Doomscroll in the morning, when you can actually do something about it.”

What if we're all the Innies?

Score! I see these as an asset that can only appreciate in value. I'm going to be rich - just like the Dutch in 1636! Maybe I can sell a blockchain token. Should I buy more fridges? Hey, how long do eggs keep, anyway?

A brief intro: I'm Bob, I live in Portland, OR. I'm a filmmaker/videographer and occasional app developer. I have a passion for pipe organs - pictured is my home setup (a virtual pipe organ). I'm a mediocre player, but when nobody's listening, I'm not too bad - kinda like singing in the shower. 1/

Hi to folks coming over here from Facebook and that other hellsite. For the time being I'll be posting most new stuff both here and on FB, and also reposting some old stuff here from time-to-time.
