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.

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

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.

IT "Hero Culture" is largely bullshit. Sure, there are those times when you have to put in the long hours, but routinely sacrificing your personal life to Write The Code or Make The Production Push or whatever is not worth it. It will not get you the raise, promotion, or security you seek.

The custom EMI console from Abbey Road is up for sale. For a cool 2.75M. vintageking.com/emi-abbey-ro...

Oh shit I think I’ve got new funeral plans.

Went on Threads for the first time in a while and immediately regretted it.

I feel like Uncle Owen really undercut his message by telling Luke “that wizard’s just a crazy old man.” Cuz like…you just admitted he IS a Wizard, right?

I was just in a weekly Teams meeting, in which a manager chimed in for the very first time in months. We all see the mute icon disappear, and wait for the profound words to follow... "That's right, I'd like to order a large bucket of original recipe with cole slaw and mashed potatoes." ...huh.

Memorandum To: The Cats who were in the bedroom at 3am From: The Large Food Beast Re: the use of my face as a trampoline Please don’t.

Winston would like the cat sitters to know that he is starving.

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

Ha, well the joke is on Qatar if they think he’s even going to remember their largesse and grant them favors. He’s not even going to expend the effort to remember how to pronounce their name correctly. In two months he’ll be taking credit for building the plane.

If our intelligence services and defense dept were run by competent people they would be losing their shit about it being used as AF1, even temporarily.
