everybody loves the david byrne getting mugged "uh oh" anecdote but nobody talks about the david byrne album "uh oh" that features a bunch of latin jazz and salsa session musicians and starts with a song from the perspective of a trans woman that doesn't have any transphobic themes in the lyrics

i was briefly getting into salsa a couple years ago, i should really get on that again

i have a piano montuno from a song i played in high school jazz band stuck in my head and i don't remember the title of the song or any other chords or melody

In honor of farm aid being up the street from my office, I’m bringing the bus driver post back from Gehenna:

absolutely disastrous for thousands of visa holders and likely millions of their friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors in america and around the world

digital piracy is inherently morally good every new video game with "good graphics" should look like a well-refined ps2 game at high res bring back removable batteries in electronics bring back translucent case electronics raw denim resolable boot guys were right they just rarely had taste

[in a police standoff while robbing a sperm bank]: gattaca! gattaca! gattaca!

the perfectly synced midi string stabs before the chorus of vanessa carlton's "a thousand miles" build so much tension against the organic groove of the verse that i have to wonder if it was lazy production or intentional

mid 2000s white boy sings worst natural third ever, asked to leave rock and roll

step out of line and you end up in jail...

that's the GOOD outcome

so tired of hearing this... black lives matter was mainstreamed as a slogan because it was easy to lie about what it meant. defund the police was dead on arrival as far as establishment media and politics were concerned because you couldn't twist it into anything other than "give cops less money"

still genuinely unbelievable to me that he would say this 1. in reference to charlie kirk, and 2. in the wake of talking to ben shapiro. two people who never once took disagreement seriously! two people who have deepened divisions irreparably *on purpose* with every word they've said publicly!

interesting how at the beginning of this he rattles off a list of all the political violence Charlie Kirk did, admits to seeing himself reflected in Kirk, and then proceeds as if Kirk never did any political violence...

not a Doge Day Afternoon

if the evidence is real (legitimately big if) this case really does feel strikingly similar to John Wojtowicz -- a mostly uneducated white guy bungles an act of egoistic passion (which he has mistaken for love) after a downtrodden woman offers him a modicum of affection. or whatever, who knows

my hot take on the trans flag is that it's kinda shit as a flag but surprisingly great as like bracelet charms and ribbons and vans old skools (pictured). like i know someone who genuinely rocks these. conceptually speaking they should be cringe as fuck why are they kinda cool!

still trying not to be pilled about tyler robinson, although i am still fixated on the details - it's very funny to be like "so eepy, going eep soon" in discord with your friends and then be like "i am still ok my love, but i am stuck in orem for a while longer yet." autism + chaser mindset lol

i stand by the general statement here but it's probably bad that a lot of people now think that political violence + inscrutable memes = groyper

fuckin the \textbf{} for texts

D is my first choice and everyone else's too but my second might have to be E, my life would be incomplete without richly spiced stews

time for me to man up and fill this out

sorry for being a conspiracy theorist but why the fuck would you write memes on casings if you didn't want people to read them on TV!!! "if you read this you are gay lmao"??? and what kind of video-game-playing gun guy says bullets when he means casings 🧐

The follow-up post is the best part.

i think there's a neologism from xkcd or something that's like, when you spend a lot of time doing something the elegant and configurable way instead of brute forcing it, and that's how i feel about writing nix modules

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

the united states also has state media, but, in typical american inefficiency, it is privatized

thinking about the blondie song that ends with a very long funky breakdown in which debbie harry raps

i still think it's far from guaranteed that the shooter was a groyper (frankly it is far from confirmed that the man arrested was the shooter!) but it is good for everyone to understand just how many factions of the far right there actually are

it's ya boy eldertiktok

i have just seen the claim that *notices your bulge* owo what's this is a "hateful meme used to harass furries"

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

i will not jump to conclusions. i will not jump to conclusions. i will not jump to conclusions.

wasn’t this a Coil album

sometimes i feel like i already know about all the stuff that a shooter was thinking/posting which is grim but today i am learning that there are anglophone fascists who like the song "bella ciao"

first of all this rocks, congratulations and well done to the youth of Nepal. second of all i bet blockchain governance guys are seething that they did the vote on discord lol

it's your boy eldertiktok
