I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

Bowie Day 5 - You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving (1965) as Davy Jones and the Lower Third New band! New sound! Less Beatle-y, a bit more modern, or “mod”, like the Who, according to commentary at the time. Lyrics are VERY simple but nicely pointed with fun melody & harmonica. youtu.be/ArBmNi42f2E?...

Tonight I was hearing a loud sustained whooshing noise outside my apartment, almost like a firehose being waved back and forth, but I couldn’t see whatever it was from my window. When I finally went out to look, it was way cooler. Road worker using a giant blowtorch to seal cracks in the road.

Bowie Day 4 - Take My Tip (1965) as Davy Jones & the Manish Boys B-side of Pity the Fool & notable as his first release that he wrote! Also, both this & the last one include Jimmy Page on guitar. I like the staccato chorus, but not a great song, imo. Lots of animal lyrics? youtu.be/yXxM0f_vKqU?...

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Bowie Day 3 - I Pity the Fool (1965) as Davy Jones and the Manish Boys Changed spelling of "Davy", a sign he's evolving? This is a cover of a song by Bobby Bland and it's nice and bluesy, but rocked up compared to the original. Good sax and fun bitterness in the singing. youtu.be/HQyrYJMitho?...

Just caught House of Dynamite in the theater. Pretty good, definitely looks good for a Netflix. Have to admit a little impatience with the structure producing repetitive moments of tension.

Introducing Bowie Days: I will listen to one David Bowie song a day, then write a short post about it! I’ll do this until I run out of Bowie songs, (there are more than 400!) or until I don't feel like it anymore. Join me on a tour through a great musical career!

come check out Eat God and support my upcoming stretch goal for the project! it's called "The Infinite Summer Palace" and the idea is that it's a palace whose authority and structures have overgrown to the point of absurdity, an entire city of political intrigue in a rococo palace

Whenever someone posts a five-second clip of an okay-looking AI video and suggest it’s the future of games or filmmaking, I always suspect that anything longer will look like this.

Chappell Roan Unveils Midwest Princess Fund for Trans Youth — and She’s Already Raised $400K

Incredibly gross.

Whoa, that seems like a great fit. Might have to dig up my copy of Black Hole for a re-read.

An excellent write-up of the end of One Battle After Another, (a movie I loved.) Contains spoilers, but read if you’ve seen it!

parents PLEASE check your kid's candy this year. i just found a copy of "the elder scrolls: tribunal" in a snickers bar. that is NOT playable without the morrowind base game

Somewhat inspired by a friend on Discord and my own love of daily projects, I’m considering a daily project where I listen to all of David Bowie’s songs, one a day, with a short daily post (a few sentences probably) about each. Any questions? Comments? Observations that it’s more than 400 songs?

My lap moved, so Rocket had to make do with a toy.

Rocket is doing a good job keeping my lap warm.

Instead of working to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans are taking their FOURTH week of vacation. @repmcgovern.bsky.social and I are going to keep showing up—even when Republicans don't—to make sure every family has access to affordable health care.

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck.

It’s lovely.

This is a great series! Check it out!

I have been brushing up on my long-dormant Spanish skills, and I just re-learned the word for "student desk" is "el pupitre". Saying it out loud gave me a visceral memory of Spanish 1 in High School, laughing like a 12-year-old.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

Woo! By which I mean the woosh-woosh-woosh of a powerwasher!
