Bathrooms at work have gone from smelling like a sewer to a Petco and I’m not sure if this is an improvement

Best part of moving is just watching DVDs for a while because you ain’t got internet set up in the new place

Listened to one Harold Budd record at work, and now this not logged in YouTube account’s recommendations are all AI 432Hz ambient slop

While packing, I found an old box in the back of my closet from when I moved in. It was the perfect size for random stuff from my desk & living room. While taping the box up, I noticed I had written “DESK + ETC” on it five years ago

Spent five or so days driving and playing music in front of strangers, barely felt stress. Back at work now for three hours and I’ve already nervously picked out like nine hairs from my mustache. Let’s Fucking Go

Dorkin’ out because the drummer for Cherubs let us crash at his house last night, viewing his home was like entering a portal to Slackers-era Austin

Had my first “is this dude on ketamine” customer service interaction getting a burger in Austin

Referring to YouTubers as “Google Subcontractors”

The Fighting Oligarchy tour having Old 97s open for them in Ft Worth is a brilliant strategy to tap into a Tarrant County voter base: totally checked out dads

In mental health news, I did manage to replace “holding a finger gun in my mouth” as a response with “miming that I’m jacking someone off onto my face”. Freud would probably have a lot to say about this, but I’m taking this as a win

Every time I have to recall a password, I first must relive my entire life

Breakfast Objects

I bought my younger brother a T-shirt and he loves it, I feel like I’ve accomplished one of the hardest cross-generational sibling tasks

Someone found a guitar outside of work and brought it to me, asking if I wanted it. It’s nice to be thought of, but also I dunno man I’ve got too many to just be stealing beat up classical guitars for no real reason

I find celebration of Killdozer distasteful because I would never knowingly advocate on behalf of or admire a Small Business Owner

Really frustrating that my cornball gen x rock guitar former boss also gave me the best gear advice years ago: “You can keep buying overdrives but what you need is an amp that’s 85% there and do the other 15% with pedals”

Thinking about the concept of “supraliminality”

Really cannot emphasize enough how the most sincerely sentimental side story of Infinite Wealth features the recurring Adult Baby Diaper Lover Yakuza Clan

Something odd but kind of familiar in the recent lib thing about how the ICE kidnappers are "proud boys" or "not real cops" or whatever. A kind of third way triangulating. You still get to be outraged but not going all the way about cops.

IN THE CENTER OF THE EYE OF THE MODERN VANGUARD: a Rangers game

The cat distribution system found me at work, so meet Employee of the Month

“Halt! Who goes there?” “Why, it is me, the Floor Pisser.” “Ah, proceed, kind sir.”

Airlines have always been the vanguard of the modern financialized economy, first to graft a credit card company onto their biz, first to embrace market logic dynamic pricing, always eager to lay off workforce & let quality slide in favor of stock buybacks. 2 tickets cheaper than 1 is barely notable

The kids desperately need to learn the difference between industry plant, nepo baby, and “has been grinding for a decade and you’ve just never heard of them until they had a break out hit”

metalcore is a powerful vector for shitty dudes

It’s pretty wild how I read juuust a little Foucault and really found the control of knowledge as a means of asserting power stuff fascinating, and now we get to just watch it kinda play out on our little phones every day

🎶IF YOU LIKE PENIS A LOTTA OR GETTIN’ FUCKED IN THE A🎶

“Your great-grandparents cooked with beef tallow” my great-grandparents were dirt poor in the Sacramento valley and cooked whatever they could kill or grow for their nine kids, my grandma moved far the fuck away the first moment she could

Friend’s moms love suggesting to try to get your band on local radio and suggest it as if it has never occurred to you

Steven Pinker is receiving a ton of backlash online. Google "pinkerton weezer full album download" to learn more

East Texas fb marketplace has an energy to it

I know many have asked, but do you have a strip mall donut shop near you that is solely named “DONUT” or “DONUTS” or is this a weird regional thing?

The funniest thing about the Klarna news is that I distinctly recall an era where PayPal Credit existed but did not get reported to a credit agency. As a result, many of my friends made some very responsible irresponsible purchases and then just walked away from a paypal account

I think a lot about how the two different people who own Joker-themed Jeeps that drive around my neighborhood are both middle aged women. What urged them specifically to do this? Do they know each other?

Saw a YouTube comment stating “uncs from the 40s really knew how to write” on a TOWNES VAN ZANDT SONG

Every time I get a delayed order email from Sigma I think of this image I made in 2023

thinking about an army bugler who keeps his bugle in his pants pocket and everyone keeps pointing out his Bugle Bulge

I feel the weirdest Texas weather is “thunderstorms with no rain”

Someone asked to hit my vape while we were sound checking tonight

when you're me, you don't usually wait as long as I just have to process film. But not having had a car from April 21st to May 9th puts a damper on that. In any case, with that you forget about photos you take, such as this gem.

Interesting article re: algorithms reducing the concept of Choice, a key component of neoliberal subjectification journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Experts estimate Europe is roughly 7 years behind the American culture industry based on recent Eurovision transmissions

My “TVs larger than 55” are for perverts” stance is unpopular in the workplace

Get on that new Skimp album if you haven’t already. It’s my 5 months in AOTY

Went on Everything Remade & chatted with my ol’ friend Edie for a bit about starting out in DIY at 1919, writing and recording with Skimp, and a bunch of other rambly stuff. Check it out! I hear it’s available at “wherever you get your podcasts” but here’s a link: youtu.be/leHBPMJYylo?...

Aw man got ripped off it’s all stems

Morgan showed me the three episode run of Catfish: Trolls, a truly fascinating failure of a show. It hits Twitch streamers (who work it out, cynically), two stans, and then runs right into “Sometimes, the internet incentivizes terrible people. Sometimes people are just relentlessly mean.” That’s it.

🔌 came thru 🙏

The cycle of a near-campus business since the 2010s: someone tries something, it fails, it becomes an apartment leasing place, that closes, refresh, repeat, refresh, repeat, sunrise, sunset
