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

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.”

Love how certain folks are all “you can’t say bad things about the president and then distance yourself when political violence happens” after nearly 2 decades of “Obama/Hillary/Biden are secret Muslim communist Nazis child abusers who want to destroy this country.”

Back in the 90’s, Gen X could turn to REM’s “Everybody Hurts” to cope with emotional and romantic disappointments. Now we turn to that same song to cope with joint and lower back pain.

Sometimes it seems like the self-checkout machines at the grocery store are trying to shame me when I buy cheap produce. “Place your ICEBERG LETTUCE! In the bag.”

I gave the demo of "Faster Master" a go this weekend. Uh, yeah, my job as a mastering engineer is still pretty safe. It's got some interesting features but by default it WAY overprocesses things. It also did a middling job of suggesting presets, tho I did throw it some genre curveballs.

replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names

Dammit he can’t die until I finish and release our protest single.

I’m predicting a “Weekend At Bernie‘s“ situation that lasts until 2028

“It’s not a party until the cornhole comes out” is a sentence that is totally innocuous in the Midwest, but probably sounds very sketchy elsewhere.

I just saw someone on the street whose sartorial style I can only describe as “Bader-Ginsburgcore.”

Sure fire way to rile up the old folks on social media: suggest Jay Leno isn’t that funny

A nifty little slice of music business history sonicstate.com/news/2025/07...

CBS is really looking to cement their reputation as "the network your grandparents watch", aren't they.

ICE in MacArthur Park? The jokes practically write themselves!

There’s a trumpet busker at the local farmers market who inevitably launches into Herbie Hancock’s “Cantaloupe Island.” Me, being a devotee of 90’s electronica, must perpetually fight the urge to jump in with the adlibs from Us3’s “Cantaloop.” @wmblathers.bsky.social is painfully aware of this.

“Alligator Alcatraz” is one broken air conditioner away from being a crime against humanity.

It’s grim that people are shrugging off the death of children with “it’s what you voted for.” It’s grimmer still that this is all the exact outcome desired by those who got elected. Deaths of the vulnerable isn’t a side effect of the policies, it’s the core of the policies.

Threads is just like Twitter, but except instead of being dominated by angry racist techbros, it’s dominated by idiotic racist boomers.

The crowd leaving the Morgan Wallen show is the whitest group of people I have ever seen. And I’ve been to Utah!

“Oh no NYC might have a lefty DS mayor! The city is doomed!” say many people (most of whom have never been to NYC). Bitches please, Milwaukee has had THREE full-on socialist mayors. They named a big bridge after one of them.
