I did the obligatory "our car photographs well in the autumn colours" thing too.

The night sky at Burk's Falls was amazing this year.

Look at this handsome fella, being all handsome. #ItsCarl

Aww, they're worried about hurting poor little white supremacists' feelings. They've been having such a hard time recently, being so repressed and all.

Sure, but how about also to "not cave like a little bitch"?

That was a very unfortunate Jays game, and without any bias I can say we were absolutely robbed. A 3-run hit called foul when even from our seats it obviously wasn't, followed by a strikeout called well outside the zone (not visible to us).

Kind of annoyingly, the song that's closest to being done is mostly acoustic guitar. That's not great when my stupid acoustic guitar is so hard to play.

I'm really loving the new songs I'm working on right now. I just jammed one of them for 10 straight minutes when I should've been recording guides 🤣

I was going to make a joke about Tylenol, but J&J is still a fucking horrendous company so they deserve to earn less money even if it's due to absolute bullshit.

I am very much not enjoying the process of pulling old blog posts from my old website and moving them to Medium or Ko-fi.

I tried networking at the dog park this morning. A couple of guys I'd already spoken to about dog stuff, were talking about playing and recording music but mentioned having no vocals in their songs.

This is not a question for me because I'm white and male. Just amplifying with my people here. I'm not skipping events because I'm afraid of deportation myself (although with my recent posts..?), but because of the overall Situation.

"Look, just because we share the same beliefs as fascists, we act like fascists and we support people who perform violent acts in the name of fascism, doesn't mean he needs his mom to drive him to the venue."

What even is this dog? 🤣

Is it too much to ask for me to hang out and be friends with Pedro Pascal?

Man, you know you fucked up when your name appears twice in the trends.

I'll admit that after playing a Yamaha APX600, I definitely want one. They only had white in store (and I'm a sucker for a white guitar), but the oriental blue burst colourway looks amazing. So I guess that's even more incentive to finally start doing music streams when I properly get back online!

I went to @longandmcquade.bsky.social Jack's Attic sale looking to grab a $100 replacement for my dead electroacoustic guitar. It was gone when I got there, but I want everyone to appreciate that I didn't buy one of the nice $600 ones I played while I was there. ADMIRE MY RESTRAINT! ADMIRE IT!

Sure, go give even more money to a billionaire. Besides, isn't that what paid verification was supposed to do anyway? Sorry, guys, it's harder to get genuine interaction when most accounts are bots. And paying to show posts to bots is dumb. Is time to leave Twitter/X. Stop supporting fascism.

Got "The City We Became" by @nkjemisin.bsky.social from our library today, and who should I find quoted on the back? No, not That Guy, I edited him out. It's @scalzi.com!

4. And it'll stay 4 until the current political shit is done.

Man, if I'd known it was going to cause this much drama I'd have created Antifa years earlier.

Man I'm really sick and tired of every Youtube thumbnail being the same dumb expression and pointing at something. Can we please get to the next era already?

I'm very anti pre-order. So if I was to pre-order the Mario Galaxy Switch reissue, is that hypocrisy?

The courtroom sketch artist doing Luigi this dirty is the real crime here.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

That's a bit more like it.

Counterpoint: Give plants ALL the weapons, especially in and around rainforests.

I can't believe I didn't even get an Emmy nomination, despite not being in anything. So unfair.

I don't know what the Puzzmo shares look like, so I'm posting this one for my own curiosity even though yesterday's result was better 😀

I signed this, but I'd like a Canada one as well.

Earlier, I threw on a random vest for a bit of gardening. I didn't realise until I came in to change that I had a whole Duke Nukem thing going on 🤣

I somehow ended up playing Mario Galaxy on a friend's kid's Wii. It still has the sauce.

Did you know you can follow me on Ko-fi without paying a single thing? Well now you do! This will be where all of my future blog posts go, now that I'm having to close my old site. So I guess this is happening. Here's a link:

Winter is coming. Get the same warm feeling on outside that Antifa feels on the inside with a lovely hoodie!

Aftermath continuing to be one of the last sources of actual journalism.

I don't know if it's the new medication dose, the state of the world right now, or that I haven't played a video game in weeks, but my songwriting inspiration is off the charts right now!

Last night's Hozier show was amazing. I saw him play to maybe 500 people in London back in 2013, and he said this was his biggest ever show. It was nice to have the contrast 😀 Then & now:

I know that sharing my political opinions might be harming any future work opportunities, but I will not be an apologist for fascism. If you think any group of people should be persecuted, oppressed or executed, I have nothing to say to you.

Mine are not. His kids are blameless, for sure. But his wife knew exactly who he was when she married him.

So... um... If I was to buy a DIY build-your-own-bass-guitar kit... would that be a Bad Idea? I could use a bass for my current song recordings and I feel like I'd like this as a project. But is this another ADHD brain trap? Should I just hire one instead? The build could be Good Content though?

I will once again say that I don't want or need my phone to be thinner. 7mm is fine. It fits in my pocket just fine. I'd rather have more battery, better cooling and no risk of snapping or bending. It's going to get a case that needs to cover the camera bump anyway, so it makes no difference.

Good.

I would like to state categorically, again, that I absolutely hate messing around with DNS and MX records. Thanks for your time.

A deadly but easily treatable disease that has been almost eradicated in the developed world? Sounds like a job for Anti-Vaxman!

Ooh, look at me with a fancy new (and easy to remember) handle 😎
