Humanity as a species is wasting so much time and energy trying to force all brains to function alike instead of trying to figure out how to give each type of brain what it needs to be most functional and productive.

So, #tfcon is coming up in Chicago. How are things up there?

I've been adding some cheap DVDs to my collection lately. I'm a firm believer in physical media (Feel free to send me your collection if you're tired of it). That said, for a new acquisition, does it go under A for "The Adventures of" or P for Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?"

Lots of places now are now clearancing out their DVDs for cheap. I was thinking of @alphachromeyayo.com when I found a trilogy of Christmas movies starring Columbo's Peter Falk as an angel. I love finding weird things I didn't know existed.

Starting soon. Come join us!

Trivia: Apparently TNT Jackson was co-written by the guy who played Mr. Futterman in Gremlins. Now you know.

It’s #bandcampfriday 💿 !! gryff.bandcamp.com/track/the-fe...

It's Bandcamp Friday and, as ever, support on there helps me very, very much! 💖 I've got mountains of music on there, from hot, horny jazz fusion to chill liminal thrills 🌊 Here's a bit about who I am and what I do ✨

Finally got my copy of Auxiliary Magazine SS2025 issue. Guess who’s in it?

Oscar ButterToast

Any recommendations for a good offline (not cloud based) word processor that doesn't hide in their TOS that they can use your work to train AI? Bonus points if it has an Android version.

Another day closer to the end of the month means yet another batch of free DL codes! The album's here: etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/the-me... It's great (even if I do say so) and for 5 of ya today, it's free: kdak-vzzj nq6t-6tkk mg32-k769 gkx5-6v9z yneg-kkg6 Redeem @ etherdiver.bandcamp.com/yum

There's a lot of money to be made in the empty promises industry.

Grift attracts grift and scum tends to pool together so I predict that it's only a matter of time before paparazzi is entirely replaced by AI "photography."

I still have no idea what I am doing.

...and there is no map. ...and a compass wouldnt help at all...

One of my languages is that if I see something a character i know a loved one loves, I'll send a picture, a link, or something to denote "hey, it's that character you like!" I love it when people do that for me with my favorites. Who are your "hey, it's my character!" characters?

Oscar ButterToast livin' that Blep Life.

Having seen #Superman I can say that @jamesgunn.bsky.social 's biggest talent as a director is having enough respect for his audience to fill his movies with ridiculous, outlandish, comic-level ideas and then execute them with a level of empathy and humanity that makes them still feel real.

So, the good news is that you can now get notifications for specific people on BlueSky, which is one thing I missed about the old place. Now I have to go though the process of ringing that bell on many people.

It's during work hours so I guess me and the whole office will be enjoying this.

Sometimes I'm quiet because I have nothing to say. Sometimes I'm quiet because I have too much to say.

Listen to MASTER PEESE. It's the best album ever. ab9b-esnv hfzf-7tb2 fhm6-7ej5 l4rk-5utr b7c5-jfaj epel-gnef fkf5-yr3c bs58-75j5 3vr5-x4xr 5gmf-jaad dnm7-7hlx s58v-5vpp 9rbc-uq7a r677-c7mf r5pp-h3t7 xumr-uxxx hm85-5qep qx2m-5nhh fcm6-7eq5 vrgf-5dnv fmux-bcp9 REDEEM: ironichill.bandcamp.com/yum

Mouse is the law in these here parts. They call her The Calico Kid!

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Home safe! Thanks again to @starfarermusic.com and @blcksgnl.bsky.social for a night of great music! Definitely go see them if you're anywhere near! Now it's time to sleep!

At the @starfarermusic.com / @blcksgnl.bsky.social show in Cincy, which hasnt even started yet and someone already came upband asked me about my @alphachromeyayo.com shirt. Of course, I had to spread the good news of ACY.

seeing people say it's "Give Trans People Money Day" so like, buy my album. digitallove.bandcamp.com

I'll be at the Cincinnati show. I'm the long-haired dude in the @alphachromeyayo.com shirt, so say hi!

I think one of the truly sad tragedies if this initial AI era are those who have bought into "prompt writing" as a marketable skill, like that won't be the very next thing AI creators shore up. I hate to be the guy tapping the sign again, but you are not USING AI, you are TRAINING it to replace you.

A-CDs (my favorite) B-Tapes (classic) C-Records (most acquired years before they came back in style) D-DVDs and Box Sets (and robots) E-The cheap, substandard Record/Tape/CD Player I could probably replace with something better if I didnt spend so much money on A, B, C, and D.

“GEMINI” Dread Majesty x C Z A R I N A Out Now! czarinaofficial.bandcamp.com/album/gemini

In a weird place where I don't feel at my best socially but I still love and need my people. It's sort of like, if we all lived in the same town, I'd put out snacks, invite a bunch of y'all over, put on an obnoxiously bad movie, and sit quietly while we laughed at it together.

TOKUSATSU MAGICK is OUT NOW over on Bandcamp! will be going up on all major streaming platforms throughout the night! digitallove.bandcamp.com 01. Magical Girl 02. Bone 03. Somehow 04. Treat U Right 05. When It Rains 06. Beach Episode 07. Say 08. Live (For The Night) #synthpop #citypop #synthwave

I'm gonna get on as soon as work gets out! Come join us!

I needed this this morning. Honestly, I'm all in on an ACY album of just this!

Fascists love to accuse protestors of being "paid protestors" because if they can convince themselves that the people protesting are paid to be there then they can ignore the very real truths of actual reasons of why the people are protesting in the first place.

Come join the purr-ty!!!!

Happy birthday to @czarinaofficial.com who, as a Master of Time and Space will hopefully understand why I'm posting this a day late! What time is it there anyway? 😁

Scritchies time with Oscar ButterToast!

Musicians: things you can do for album art instead of using crappy AI: -pay an artist -hire a photographer -take a picture of the weirdest thing in your house -cat photos -page from an old book -circuit board -Video game screen shot -action figures -close up photo of something weird -CRAYONS! ---->

Adaptations, remakes, and sequels are not new, nor are they inherently bad. Since people in animal skins sat around fires telling each other stories, they have been retelling stories they heard, changing them to suit their tastes or to fit the listener. But if you want to tell a story, tell it well.

Happy 3rd Gotchaversary to Oscar ButterToast. He managed to go from a homeless, unemployed kitten in the bottom of a trash can to being an obnoxious, emotionally needy nerd who feels entitled to and demands treats, all with only partial use of a single brain cell. I love my little trash baby.

Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.

If you're like me, you h̶o̶a̶r̶d̶ collect many types of media. I want to give you a heads up that Michael's (the craft supply store) currently has these boxes in stock for $4.99 each and they're close to perfect for storing roughly 55 cassette tapes. Probably about as cheap as it gets for tape storage

This is your reminder that, if you're a musician who has released music, be sure to check Discogs to make sure your work is represented and, if so, represented correctly. Check to make sure your images and bio reflect what you're doing now and everything is accurate.
