I’ve thought about it for a week or so and I must issue a correction: my album of the year is Fantasy by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ. Apologies to Real Lies, whose album We Will Annihilate Our Enemies moves into the #2 slot. we are listening and learning.

Wrote a little about my favorite albums from this year postmaff.com/albums-of-20...

today I finally ended a two year long quest to obtain a good quality digital version of “Deep Burnt” by Pepe Bradock, courtesy of this excellent Masters at Work compilation ordered used off discogs and this LG cd ripper I finally got around to buying. and they said I didn’t have my life together

I think I have a healthy number and variety of hobbies that I find meaningful and enjoyable, but one of them is definitely blowing leaves around the backyard with the leaf blower

September 11th, 2001. A shocked nation grieves as the World Trade Center is destroyed in the largest terrorist attack on American soil. Unsure of what else to do, GameFAQs user BoredGamer collects their thoughts and begins to work on a plain text walkthrough of Tail of the Sun

These days, the football game of what’s more and more. In order to champion — when its competition of the ballgame — America is the time for together. And that’s which of the fans. The fans of what it’s most of all. Let’s what it again: the fans of when it’s more.

My best relationship advice is: get you a man who will enthusiastically text you about the opening shot of Robert Altman’s THE PLAYER

trying to find a digital copy of a track called Right Now by an old school electronic group called Awesome Foursome, and searching for Artist Name Song Title is a real mixed bag

Durango Salida Alamosa Leadville

This weekend I climbed the North Ridge on Kit Carson (with a descent over Challenger Point) and Crestone Needle. I’ve thought about these climbs for years and they lived up to all the hopes and fears I had for them. They also take me to the halfway point in climbing Colorado’s 14ers (29/58).

saw it for the first time a few years ago and instantly decided it’s one of the greatest movies i’ve ever seen

Might fuck around and get into the Stones

not only is it not a distraction, id go so far as to say that no other issue matters if the president can revoke your citizenship by tweet.

If I had to sum up what is at least aspirationally great about America, it’s civil rights, immigration, and our public lands. This administration is systematically stripping away and selling off everything that made this deeply flawed place worthwhile. There will be nothing left but money and misery

"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country....all without hearings, debate or public input." wilderness.org/articles/med...

“An amendment to the budget reconciliation package written by Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Steve Daines (R-Montana) authorizes the sale of 258 million acres of BLM and National Forest land across 10 western states and Alaska.” That is 40% of all federal public land. open.substack.com/pub/wessiler...

incredible work Junie

There are people (all of whom live online) who demand more accountability and compliance from random social media posters than elected Democrats, I don't think it's really possible to have a dialogue with them

@patrickklepek.bsky.social @remapradio.bsky.social @gameonysus.bsky.social re the Soulsborne / Soulslike discussion - based on google trends, probably correct that Soulslike is more common term recently, but Soulsborne was more common for years and still used often trends.google.com/trends/explo...
