Time to see if I can use the microplane to grate some cheese without destroying the nail on my banjo strumming hand. Currently 0 for 4 with this thing.

Every artist you admire has, at most, 4 very specific tools that they use to create their work don’t buy them art supplies unless you know them exactly. If you buy me a set of pencils I will use the 2h and F pencils down to the nub and throw everything from 9b-2b into a drawer and forget about it.

My son this evening: „Uuugh there’s no gluesticks in this house and no peanuts either. I can’t do ANYTHING I want to do.“

The Songtober drawing for today is Black as Crow by Rhiannon Giddens requested by @mcthrill.bsky.social. A very beautiful Appalachian folk ballad so wanted capture something nice and simple with some hobo signs thrown in

After 2016: I think there’s many factors that have led us here. Starting with American imperialism and exceptionalism being fueled by past decades of Reagan policies and fear mongering, we can see how… After 2024: computer bad and computer should always have been in separate room, away from people

Finally made it through "Megalopolis" and man, it is wild that this film came from the same man who made The Godfather.

Today is my birthday and my son made me a stuffed ghost all by himself on the sewing machine as a gift.

6/8 jig time (or 9/8 if you’re doing a slip jig) is really tricky for clawhammer banjo but I think I’m getting the hang of it. The song is part A from „the Blarney Pilgrim.“ parts B and C are not shown because i cant play them as well as this section. #banjo #banjofeed # clawhammer

Sorry about the rain sounds, it seemed like a nice time to play something out on the balcony. The song is „Kitchen Girl“ and the tuning is sawmill. #banjo #banjofeed #clawhammer

Playing 6/8 jig time on clawhammer banjo is difficult and warping my brain. Thanks for coming to my talk.

Somebody is finally taking a stand. Trumpets have had it easy long enough.

It’s hard not to take it personally when the ad I keep getting served on YouTube starts with „Here‘s 3 mistakes OLD PEOPLE make when trying to use their iPhones.“ go to hell AI-powered app.

Hey @bsky.app what gives. Why the suspension?

Watching beauty and the beast with my kid, I’m still amazed at the ballroom dance scene. Meanwhile my kid starts laughing uncontrollably - “the only music is coming from a singing teapot! How can you dance to that?”

Driving my in-laws crazy during this visit by playing this song 1000 times a day. Song is „Five Miles From Town“ and I can’t believe we’re still limited to only 1 minute videos. #banjo #clawhammer #oldtime #banjofeed

I can still remember sitting around with my friends in my 20s who told me „you have to listen to this it’s incredible“while they played „songs and more songs“ from beginning to end on the stereo.

His body is caged but his spirit remains ever free.

Driving home from work at like 11pm one night, stopped at a traffic light waiting for it to turn when a crying clown in full makeup walked past on the sidewalk. Tear stains in all his makeup, rainbow wig and red nose still on, just bawling while walking down the street, no one else in sight.

Im continually amazed at how timeless Samus Aran‘s character design is. Also at how cool this drawing of it is.

This game has such a cool aesthetic, will definitely be getting the full version once it’s out.

German Achievement unlocked: have a hedgehog move into turn garden. Unfortunately he hid before I could get a photo but he lives in our hedge.

Saw a food ingredient that said "adds powerful rubber-based effects to your meals" and assumed that would be like, I dunno, electricity resistance or something but no - a 1 in 4 chance to jump three times in a row if I take a drink. Caves of Qud always surprises me. #cavesOfQud

The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind

Love this game. Stumbled across 2 unidentified artifacts, after studying them my character was able to recognize them as folding chairs. One of them is electrified, so I can equip it with a power cell to cause the folding chair to deal an extra 1 electrical damage. #cavesOfQud

Really like this shirt my kid got recently - the back tire is saying „hi! Who are you?“ and the front tire is saying „I‘m a pneumatic tire!“

My brother-in-law bought my niece a buddy Christ bobblehead as a gift without having seen the movie it’s from and because I can’t keep my mouth shut I’m now having to explain the plot of the 1999 Kevin Smith movie Dogma to my very trad-cath extended family in a language I’m only about 70% fluent in.

Here it is, the Bronze Age Fellowship of the Ring. You can get a print of this here - www.inprnt.com/gallery/gora... and you can support my little creative excursions here - patreon.com/gorangligovic

Shoutout to the guy on the train in front of me who‘s looking up dosage info for his medication using ChatGPT I sincerely hope he gets not just the right amount but the right orifice as well.

Going on a tour of a glass factory in Harz and the introductory video on „the history of glassmaking“ starts with a recreation of the K-T impact meteor crashing into the earth, this is apparently going to be a longer and more in-depth tour than I anticipated.

My doctor has decided to hang up prints of a sexy Napa cabbage all over the office, in case anyone was wondering what a Napa cabbage with boobs would look like.

If you want some funny art and want to support a funny artist have I got a deal for you…

This is fine, right? Not a big deal I’m sure.

I got up on stage last weekend with a group form our old-time jam sessions and it was absolutely terrifying. My hands were shaking so bad I couldn’t play the first song at all. But I’m glad I did it regardless (I am standing with my #banjo just left of center, half blocked by a mic)

So my friend is throwing an 80s themed costume party for his birthday and the vibe here is very “put on a mullet wig and neon armbands” while my vibe is more “I made a ninja turtle costume in 30 minutes.” But it’s a German party so that means David Hasselhoff is here at least.

At a birthday party in Gernany, greetings from the Mettigel.

if we had a normal national press the Canada shit would be the latest, most obvious point to be like "oh hey this guy is insane or senile or both. He is not engaging with reality and he shouldn't be in power" but instead we get like "Are Americans ready for that ski vacation???"

Hey @hannahcomb.bsky.social this sounds like something you’d like.

Is anyone else unable to sign in to their Adobe account this weekend or is it just me? I'm unable to open any apps or even log in on their website. I can't find any current info online at all.

Shocked to learn that "One Punch Man" on Netflix is only offered in the original Japanese ausio, and with no subtitle options. How does that even happen? I watched season 1 a couple years back in English, but there's just no other language options anymore for some reason.

Sometimes, you just have to treat yourself (buy a 3 euro mousepad to replace the old amazon envelope you had been using for 4 months that your mouse could no longer detect the texture of). You're worth it.

If you get distracted and dump your ground coffee into your oatmeal instead of into the French press you can make what I like to call „ruined breakfast.“

Got to move your hospital bed over rough terrain? No problem when it has a Big Whefl!

Im not sure this is a good sign…

If you don't want your OS's search to include obnoxious barely-relevant web articles this is for you.

wait till people learn everyone has their own neural net they can train with whatever they want and get it to output the weirdest most personalized shit imaginable

I guess the Spider-Man “Butt Kleenex” is making the rounds again. In 2019 I made this handy chart to show that I AM NOT THE BUTT KLEENEX ARTIST! *I* have the distinction of being the Spidey Penis Balloon artist. So, in review, Spidey Penis Balloon = Me. Spidey Butt Kleenex = Not Me. Thanks!

I don't get @safety.bsky.app right now. Did they literally just say "listen we won't action people doxxing or harassing Bluesky accounts if the perpetrator does it elsewhere"? bsky.app/profile/safe...
