When I was younger I watched The Matrix and identified with the hardscrabble freedom fighters in their underground city. Now I'm like "I'd get my own goo pod? With food and healthcare? And a permanent dream of the late 90's? In THIS economy? SIGN ME UP."

We got 8-10 inches of snow. Which is probably really 5-7 if you’re on a dating app.

“What were you like in the 90’s?” Not listening to the damned Goo Goo Dolls, I can tell you that much.

Working from home has really ruined the concept of a snow day

Oh sweet! K-pop at the Oscars!

Oh wild, costume design nomination for a CGI film

Oh shit, Charlie Bisharat? NICE!

If a cat hurls on the carpet and you don’t step in it barefoot in the dark, did they really vomit? #zen #koan #cats

We’ve got another new thing.

New Null Device track! All proceeds to the Iowa County Humane Society. nulldevice.bandcamp.com/album/i-dont...

New Null Device track coming this Bandcamp Friday. New new thing coming too.

That’s a lot of responsibility for just one person.

53. A little grayer, and my bones make more noise than I am comfortable with, but otherwise, aiight.

After Monday night’s NIN show, I am haunted by the fact that we’re potentially a mere Broadway production of “The Downward Spiral” away from the media having to mention Trent Reznor’s EGOT.

So I awoke this morning to a cat gently placing a _part_ of a mouse on the foot of the bed. How’s your day going?

WHOLESOME

JFC “Producer YouTube” is a deep wellspring of the worst possible mixing advice. “Here’s an easy way to hit your LUFS target of -4. Just put a clipper on every track and bus.” Bro who hurt you

I still find the charmin bears deeply unsettling. They’re bears, they don’t wear pants - except when they wear underwear - and yet they are obsessed with toilet paper.

There was a brief period in 1990 when I would confuse Gerardo and Geraldo.

I bet the FX team for “Fallout” has someone whose main job is digitally editing out Walton Goggins’ nose.

For some reason this morning I started thinking about the worst job interviews I’ve had over my career. Most were fine, a couple were real doozies (a thread)

The biggest unsung hero of the music industry is prefab melamine shelving.

Dear people who make scented home products, Calm the fuck down. I don’t need “tropical sunset” or “toasted vanilla cafe.” What happened to straightforward stuff like “lemon” or “lavender?” I’m buying laundry detergent to wash my underpants, FFS. Let’s not get prosaic here.

I guess we’ll know in 466 years if Gil Gerard is actually just pulling the greatest method acting in history.

I’ve reached that point in my life where I know what day it is based entirely on what pills I have to take

Okay this Dubai chocolate fad is out of control

*spittake*

Cmon kids, let’s gather around the campfire and share our favorite scary LLM prompts!

This is a stellar tape-style saturator plugin, and for the next few days it’s under $5. purafied.com/products/pur...

One of the fun parts of middle age that nobody tells you about is that every morning you wake up and a different part of your back hurts. So it’s a fun little surprise! You can make a game of guessing where it will hurt tomorrow!

Why is there a bay leaf in my shoe?

I just got unreasonably angry at a commercial for eggs. A smiling grandmother is showing her apple faced grandchildren how to scramble eggs. BUT! In the next scene, they’re eating fried eggs. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SCRAMBLED EGGS?!? I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

I just had a positively revelatory vegetarian mapo dofu. Good hit of Sichuan peppercorn, nicely rich and saucy.

Because of the people running the companies and the methods used to develop modern artificial intelligence, I think humanity will eventually be driven extinct by being excessively annoyed to death by our AI overlords.

I first got really into Underworld 30+ years ago, dancing my brains out to “Cowgirl” at the campus club. Every time they’ve played in the states, I’ve had to miss them because of various obligations etc. I FINALLY rectified that this past weekend, flying to Denver to catch them. 100% Worth it.

With the 50th annivesay of the loss if the ship being today, this past weekend I got kind of obsessed with trying to cover the haunting Lightfootballad as a synth dance track; make it a club banger without making it cheesy or disrespectful. klack.bandcamp.com/album/the-wr... 

Thank you to everyone who reached out about Winston. It means a lot. He’d have loved it that hundreds of people he’d never met just told him he’s a good and handsome boy. He’d put on his silly cat grin and cheerfully headbutt each and every one of you. He had a small cat brain, but a giant heart.

Halloween from Down Under I love Kangaroos Just had to share (sound up) 🎃🤣

Rest peacefully, my sweet little buddy. I’ll love you always. Winston Oehler: 2012-2025

“Eric, are there any things that might suggest you’re a basic white Midwestern guy?”

New Null Device single. We’re not subtle. nulldevice.bandcamp.com/track/the-wo... Proceeds to @ccrjustice.org

Call a theoretical physicist; something weird happens to time when you get a leg cramp in the middle of the night. It stretches out for hours localized to my calf but only seconds pass elsewhere. It’s a twin paradox that makes me walk funny in the morning.

For an industry ostensibly controlled by a cabal of radical leftists, Big Media rolls over under right wing pressure pretty damn easily.

Francesca Hong is running for WI Gov! This is exciting!

I preferred it when he just fought daleks

I feel like a lot of people really didn’t pay close enough attention to Niemöller’s poem.

I think I spend too much time thinking about electronic music. I got a spam about "Bargains" and got interested because I had misread it as "Berghain."

Open letter to grocery stores: I do not want to have to sign up and log in to your app just to find out what aisle stuff is in.

Walked into the club last night and “Ebeneezer Goode” was blasting from the speakers. I looked at the door person and said “you don’t need to card me, I’m old enough. I know all the words to this one.”
