The only Claude who helps me code

I have chanced upon an arrangement of shapes and Textures and colors that is pleasing to me.

As a musician I'm a middling talent at best but I would be a great bandleader because I excel at gesturing toward guys when they're playing solos and I'm also good at making that face that says the solo is unbelievable and that it's physically hurting me.

If anyone's gonna be at French Quarter Fest today/tomorrow I'll be out there in my big dumb hat and carrying my silver parasol. Don't be shy, say hello! (Not trying to brag but I get into FQF for free. I might be able to hook you up.)

I've seen people mentioning/theorizing that Bluesky is just being vibe coded nowadays, and that totally tracks; in the last few days I've seen a couple features that have become janky, and the site has been slow and unreliable overall.

🚨 The jasmine has breached containment, repeat, the jasmine has breached containment 🚨

With every new paper mache mask I make, I always get a little better at it and it's always a real thrill. I learn a new technique almost every time, like making a mask that's impossible to remove, or a mask that gives the wearer the powers of the entity that it portrays. Good stuff.

New Orleans' best kept secret

These days everyone has a '''smart''' phone. Well, it sure seems like people are getting '''dumber'''

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how much Bluesky pays me to post here, and the lifestyle it affords me, but I would do it for free.

Thinking about becoming one of those large dogs who's in the back of a moving pickup and is very happy

Sometimes when I tell someone "no worries!" I still have some worries

Howdy

Saturday night baby! Why I've got half a mind to call for my pipe and call for my bowl and call for my fiddlers three.

I've got this great book called Least Wanted which is a collection of old-timey mugshots, and contains some of the greatest faces you'll ever see collected in a single tome.

I often stop by to admire the sculpted faces on this WW1 memorial; three soldiers displaying different degrees of anguish and stoicism, and... Quasimodo?

A very nice young man I know asked me if I knew that David Bowie wrote Lady Stardust about Marc Bolan and I was accidentally like WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO KID

The way David Bowie says "South America" in Dancing in the Streets is like he knew South America thought they were all slick & were totally gonna get out of this one but boy were they wrong

Disgusting.

I tell ya, there's nothing I hate more than the universe, with like all the fucking molecules and atoms n' shit

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control. I'm stepping through the door, and I'm floating in the most peculiar way" Tom, are you seriously saying they didn't cover this in astronaut school

I made a promise to my wife years ago to stop saying insulting things to tough guys which are liable to get me killed, but I always have this burning desire to poke at douchebags in a way where they can't be sure if I'm messing with them and so they aren't sure if they're justified in getting angry…

I sure would appreciate it if things would stop happening.

Meet me at that fish that has the tortured souls of jazz musicians trapped in it.

I love when my phone tells me an unknown person who's texting me is "Maybe [name]" ✌️Maybe✌️ if you don't know then shut da fuck up 😎

mfw the sushi place gives me two pairs of chopsticks for the quantity of sushi I ordered just for me.

I intentionally only mention my martial arts background very rarely but anyway my number one martial arts tip is if Scorpion says "get over here" don't go over there. 🧠👈

These days I'm really only listening to old metal.

I got this shirt at the gap. Between the dumpster and the restaurant.

It surely does my troubled brain a tremendous amount of good to Wander around and Look at things.
