Streaming music is a fantastic convenience. However, I feel like it does more harm than good to the arts. So I exclusively listen to music which I've bought.

US gov accounts are here to harass people, quote direct trouble blocklists interface can be a little counterintuitive if you're unfamiliar with them, because Subscribe understandably sounds like the opposite of what you'd want to do, but that's where the option is to block all. it's what I'm doing🥷🏼

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

In late 2020, far right violence was ramping up here in Oregon in tandem with the "stop the steal" nonsense. David Medina, the OR "journalist" who last week embedded w/ Benny Johnson & Kristi Noem, participated in this Dec 21, 2020 invasion of the *Oregon* Capitol Building. bsky.app/profile/seth...

saw a new big article suggest "Neither is the Frog a satire of anything in particular... The Frog is meaningless." the newer variety of copycat unicorns, bears, etc are random absurdity riffing on it, but there's a relevant backstory for the specific main/original frog style, see quoted 🧵 if curious

I cannot stop listening to this album. Shit hits new levels as track 5 morphs into track 6. luciusfox.bandcamp.com/album/the-de...

My latest zine, Heavy Metal Daydreams, is out in the latest issue of TriAPA. I'm pretty stoked to have some sweet sweet art from Sutexii to adorn the borders. Super stoked for people to see how cool that art is! drive.google.com/file/d/1VKBH...

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score.

when you definitely know what the Luddites were about

“That’s all you can do, is learn and adapt,” said freelance writer Kiesha Richardson. “And I have some colleagues who are adamant about not working with AI. But I’m like, ‘I need money. I’m taking it.’” The WGA literally had a strike to prevent this & you should too www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲

I remember arguing with half of these AI bros who weren't even convinced Commander Data was a person in TNG's "Measure of a Man". Now they are asking if AI can suffer.

If our imagination wasn't dangerous they would not be outsourcing it to a fucking soulless computer.

Oregon Republicans broke quorum several times, triggering a lock down of the state capital to search for them. Republicans said if state police came to bring em back that they should "send bachelors" because they would shoot them. Republicans are hypocrites and also little babies.

Hey things aren't that bad if you disconnect the phones, close your curtains, and pull the blankets over your head! Just don't look outside or talk to anyone or you'll spoil it!

Saw some jousting today at the Canterbury Renaissance Faire. Was sick as hell.

I just saw Eddington and I'm not entirely unconvinced the movie was written without AI lmao. But I did have a good time and I'll certainly be thinking about it for a long time.

Bloodywood tonight in PDX. Gonna be a scorcher.

“.. traffic has dropped by only a single percentage point as a result of leaving Twitter ..” @niemanreports.org #Hellsite niemanreports.org/npr-twitter-...

Tomorrow we're gonna get together with friends and family and try to have a good time. And that feels important today. But it's not to celebrate anything red, white, and blue. No, tomorrow is my puppy's first birthday.

If you haven't already been, get connected with your local mutual aid groups, local political organizing groups like WFP or PSL or DSA, talk to your neighbors. We're going to need to protect each other, it's only going to keep getting worse.

The BCS Patreon has fallen below the monthly amount we need to keeping paying our authors a pro rate and our First Readers a worthy honorarium. Sometimes folks need to lower or pause their support; we understand. But <1% of our readership donates or supports. www.patreon.com/beneath_ceas... 1/2

It has come to my attention that some folks missed this crowd-funding campaign. Old Moon Quarterly is a great magazine that has been supplying top-notch fiction and art. This is not one you want to miss. (Pledge, like and repost, it really helps.) Thank you. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

My band, The Marionberries, recently put out a short little indie-folk EP that I'm quite proud of! It's called West of the Cascades and we recorded REAL LIVE BIRDS right here in Oregon Read about it on my ko-fi blog and see if it's for you! It's available everywhere online ko-fi.com/post/West-of...

Chaz is finally done in case you didn't know.

Fun new video today! Diving into the magic world of music gear and breaking down how MIDI works! youtu.be/Mn_R7XUYs5I

I don't know much about Brian Wilson personally. But I do know that he is many of my favorite songwriters' favorite songwriter. And that feels big.

Salem! My band The Marionberries will be spreading some indie-folk vibes on Make Music Day. 12pm at Minto Island Growers. And 3:15pm at the YMCA! Come check us out and find lots of new bands to support. youtu.be/vpBnedephhc?...

Issue #5 of my zine, Heavy Metal Daydreams, is out in Triapa 21. May was busy with lots of travel. I tried to visit a spooky mask maker! Check it out. And consider contributing yourself, or write us a letter. drive.google.com/file/d/1n-2z...

Decided to get outta the house for a bit. Saw some neat stuff around Taiwan during Computex 2025.

Random little taphouse at a Taipei night market? Of course I'm stopping off for a pint! Timebeer Craft Beer House!

My first time at Computex has not been disappointing.

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

Went to search "pope" since I'm hearing bout the white smoke and my search was autocompleted to Popey's Chicken. Hell yeah.

Cleaning out some old stuff and found this depiction of the solar system... Some of these depictions make sense. But what are they trying to say about mars with those mushroom clouds? Why is there a temple titled "Olympus" on Jupiter? I guess I get that one... But doesn't mean it isn't confusing.

For anybody interested in honoring one of the masters:

The Vietnamese refugees’ time at Mount Angel is part of the larger story of the Vietnam War covered in the 2017 Oregon Experience documentary “The Vietnam War, Oregon Remembers.”

We just won. The DnD campaign we started 2 and half years ago - we finally won. Probably between 50-60 sessions. I banished a god to safety while my party took a beating and dished out more damage than ever before on the BBEG. Well worth the time. Highly recommend.

I wasn’t prepared to be captivated and educated by @tayzonday.com on @jamieloftus.bsky.social ‘s Sixteenth Minute podcast. Maybe my favorite episode(s) of the show. Listen to the whole thing, but in particular the second episode about his politics slaps. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

What are you guys buying with all your protest money from last weekend?

I would watch Reacher get into shit at a white lotus resort.

TriAPA 19 is out with my 3rd installment of Heavy Metal Daydreams. This is the first time I've shared any work on my novella spin off of my podcast, @innattheendpod.com, featuring my guy Durok Dragonsbane. Plus the news that I've sold another story! drive.google.com/file/d/1lH8V...

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Purely anecdotal. But I noted that every single Honda passing by today's protest in Salem, Oregon was a team player - hootin and hollering and honking - giving thumbs up. While every single Ram truck had some fascist bumper sticker and guys who would flip you off and rub their tires on the curb.
