Talking with my mother on the phone. her: you sound tired me: I haven't slept for at least 3 nights

Back at Morty’s this Friday 05.15 starting at 10PM That’s 305 W Brookland Park Blvd in Richmond, Va where the food and libations are dank and the cuts are fresh and funky

Current earworm: "Mustard Sauce" by Parlor Greens, from this year's "Emeralds" album on @coleminerecords.bsky.social. #musicsky 🎧

My fave Vietnamese spot is somewhat dysfunctional, the service is either sweet or aloof and the muzak only plays one song on repeat. Today's selection is the instrumental version of "Careless Whisper". 🎷

Coming up at 3 PM EDT, I'll be the DJ host for "End of The Century" on @wrir973fm.bsky.social, left of the dial transmissions from 1975-99. Set the dial to 97.3, livestream at WRIR.org/listen or search for WRIR on the Tunein mobile app. Cheers!

Uninstalled MS Copilot and Google Chrome, because fuck a.i., seriously.

Jesus, Tom, phrasing. ⚾

Y'all, "Daredevil: Born Again" S02 is peak (street-level) MCU. #daredevil

I was interested in watching Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan's "Creed", then I made the mistake of researching and seeing it's a sequel to "Rocky Balboa" (2006). Now my weird brain determined that I need to to engage in a "Rocky" / "Creed" watch-through, for reasons.

Recommendation from a stranger on the internet: "You gotta read her memoir, it’s half Boomer slop and half good gossip about Thurston's affair." #libraryhaul #audiobook 🎧 📖

I heard these "Rocky" movies are good. #libraryhaul

Half-forgotten #Easter special from my childhood, Rankin & Bass' "Here Comes Peter Cottontail".

Kegsbreath is gonna eat a bowl of shit, Drumpf is loyal to nobody.

😭 #daredevil

Dear Delta, make it permanent.

A beautiful thing.

Bye, bitch.

New music video from Gorillaz dropped, it's a visual feast of great animation. #musicsky 🎧 #gorilaz 🦍

Seren Saraç performs "Everything in its Right Place" [Radiohead cover] #musicsky 🎧 📻

Firefox updated to the newest version on my laptop, so I was able to engage the a.i. kill-switch, to turn off all the features they decided to bundle with the browser. The a.i. stuff is turned on by default, you'll need enable the "Block AI enhancements" slider.

Who TF wanted another Gnarls Barkley album?

Happy "Twin Peaks" Day, for those that observe.

Coming up at 3 PM EST, I'll be the DJ host for "End of The Century" @wrir973fm.bsky.social, left of the dial transmissions from 1975-99. Special V-D edition, songs of love & heartbreak 💘/💔. Livestream available @ WRIR.org/listen or search for WRIR via Tunein mobile app. #WRIR #MusicSky 🎧

Today is the first Bandcamp Friday for 2026, wherein @bandcamp.com waives their revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels. More info: #musicsky

30 Rock S01E02 (2006) Pretty sure I didn't recognize that there was a (dirty) joke in this line, when it originally aired. #IYKYK

Really hoping enough Hanover county residents show up tonight for the county board of supervisors meeting, in support of opposing a new proposed ICE facility. Hanover is in the Greater Richmond metropolitan area. #FuckICE

Finished "Fugitive Telemetry", book 6 of "The Murderbot Diaries", in a few nights. The 2015 self-titled album by MG (Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode) was appropriate music accompaniment. Feel compelled to make a Murderbot mixtape at some point.

HEY RVA I do not remember if I P R O P E R L Y announced it but this Friday the 16th I am spinning some records at Morty’s Market and Deli (305 W Brookland Park Blvd) from 10pm through the midnight hour. And now that I type this out I do remember I have mentioned it but here’s another reminder!

Going to continue to support @bandcamp.com platform, but I prefer physical media.

body: really need to lay down, so tired brain: but it's only 7:30 PM, we'll just wake up in 4 hours and won't get back to sleep body: can barely keep eyes open, what if we sleep longer brain: all right, see what happens me at 11:45 PM:

Looks like ¡CE has arrived in the Richmond metro area, targeting Latino neighborhoods in the Midlothian / Chesterfield region. Stay vigilant. #FuckICE

Finished book 5 of the Murderbot Diaries, this was a thicker volume than the previous ones. Good series of high-stakes sci-fi, while exploring identiy & purpose. I think I need to switch to something different, as a palate cleanser, before starting book 6.

For the record: FUCK ICE

Good for them and their customers, but honestly, this 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be one of the basic tenets of any 'right to repair' laws / regulations.

I initially gave credit to the Hilton company for dropping the ¡CE reservations in Minneapolis, turns out it was just the local franchisee and Hilton is throwing them under the bus.

Worth sharing
