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

Last burrito of 2025.

Early Rhea Seehorn acting credit, sorceress in Magic The Gathering tutorial (1997).

Merry Xmas, nerds.

"La Bûche / Season's Beatings" (1999) Tonight's movie selection. Nothing better than a serving of French ennui for this lonely Xmas eve.

RIP James Ransone, Chester 'Ziggy' Sobotka on "The Wire". June 2, 1979 - December 19, 2025 #TheWire

I know it's not a great streaming platform, and I've rarely used it over the years, but somebody asked me for a Xmas playlist on Spotty last December. You might like it, if you dig holiday chunes. 🎧 #musicsky 🎄 #christmasmusic ❄️

I don't think I've fully watched "The Incredible Hulk" series a second time, since it originally aired when I was a kid in the late '70s / early '80s. These unhinged episode titles are making me chuckle.

Me and my step-mother bonding.

Trump administration deadnames four-star Admiral Rachel Levine, ignoring her legal name status, leading to transphobic supporters to coin the bullshit phrase "biological name" on social media posts. Petty and destructive behavior.

Ahhhh, NEED.

"I love the idea of a fem tourney but one run by a male Kick streamer who has a history of using AI graphics doesn't sit right at all & if a percentage of women aren't allowed to participate (these being mostly trans women), I certainly won't be either," she writes.

Back on my digitizing DVDs bullshit, currently working on "The Deuce", by David Simon and company. #HBO #LongFormTV

Can't sleep, starting book 5 of The Murderbot Diaries.

Apparently, the Stranger Things rewatch is a GO.

Coming up at 5 PM Eastern today, I'll be guest-hosting / DJing "The Lotus Land Show" on Richmond's own @wrir973fm.bsky.social , a 2 hour free-form mix of music. Livestream available at WRIR.org/listen or search for WRIR on the Tunein mobile app. Cheers! #WRIR #Radio #MusicSky

Successfully made the Peruvian-style aji verde sauce tonight (muy picante), think I should bring it to Thanksgiving dinner.

R.I.P. German actor Udo Kier.

I feel guilty having 4 checked out at the same time.

On book 3 of "The Murderbot Diaries", so GOOD.

The Americans S06E05 A heart-wrenching scene isn't dependent on the language spoken, when it comes to good filmmaking.

This week's goal: learn how to make aji verde, that sauce is SO GOOD.

Whenever it feels right...

Rhea Seehorn getting her flowers, and I'm here for it.

5 PM, time for sunset. #fuckdaylightsavingstime

Recent Megan Kelly quote on Epstein: "He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old." Brings to mind this very relevant, nuanced (and evergreen) bit by @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social

Finally going to check out that Frankenstein flick everyone's been buzzing about.

Social media sucks, I wanna go back to to calling friends on landlines, so we can make plans or just shoot the shizz.

A truly transformative cover of an old favorite, consider me flabbergasted.

Riffage is life. #musicsky 🎧 💀 🤘

Had to ask my physical therapist to repeat something, after he muttered to himself "definitely getting better". MY DUDE, raise my hand like I won the title fight and shout that shizz.

LOVE Irene Barber's voice, le sigh.

Yeah, it's in SD, but it's a limited (and numbered) edition with a CD of the score, so it goes in the 'keep' pile.

Current mood.

"Ghastly Stomp", late 90s track by The Ghastly Ones (spooky Surf Rock), which is an interpolation of the "Grim Grinning Ghosts" song from the Disney amusement park Haunted Mansion ride. 🎧 #MusicSky #halloween #spookymusic 🎃
