My new business plan is that I am going to rob every bank. But- I am announcing my plan to do so beforehand. Every bank can inform me ahead of time if they would like to not be robbed. Ergo, when you try to hold me liable for robbing your bank, I will point out that you could have opted out.

War, war never changes. (cue louis armstrong as we pan across the wasteland)

This reminds me of nothing so much as when we were first introduced to Peacemaker in Suicide Squad- "I cherish peace with all of my heart. I don't care how many men, women and children I kill to get it." I think we were supposed to laugh at Cena's character for how stupid that sounds.

Was tinkering with the amount of vinyl crackle I was getting in a sample and couldn't identify where part of it was coming from. Stopped playback and realized it was my carbonated drink crackling.

BREAKING: Guitars are now banned and guitarists under watch for suspected terrorism after high ranking government officials learned about Woody Guthrie's stickers

One of the great silver linings of how mask-off the 2025 update to MAGA is, is that it has blissfully freed me from pointing out hypocrisy. No longer do I think or engage with "Hah look at how it applies in reverse!" That's the point, is it is never supposed to, so we are freed of pointing it out.

I mildly miss the wild uncertainty of old file copy dialogues. Sure, it says 3 hours, but now it says 2 seconds! Oh wait, 27 days. Oh wait it's done. Obviously it's much better now, esp on Macs, when they say 3 minutes it is absolutely gonna be 3 minutes, but it also removed the you-never-know-ness

Presented for your consideration: "Dreamworks Protagonist Face" meme vs. Sam Altman, our generation's biggest galaxy brain genius who always says things that come true.

Big ups to the financial advisor who, trying to inform me on what the rate cuts mean for me, instead informed me on the what the rat cutes mean for me

ME, TRYING TO BREAK UP WITH A DATABASE RECORD: Look, it's not you you id. It's me me id.

okay I just thought of this for the first time in my life and it somehow makes sense to me: do you eat Pringles in an angle where they are in accordance with the shape of your tongue or against it I realized today I'm against

Some unintentional poetry at the gym this morning

Three great inescapable music associations: - Hears a ninth note "Woah, it's like jazz!" - Hears an arpeggio "Hey, just like Phillip Glass!" - Hears a raw square wave "Hey, just like Game Boy!"

Some unintentional poetry at the gym this morning

I realized last night that as much as I love following the Buffalo Bills- I've lived here my whole life and it's basically genetic at this point- I increasingly can not bear to watch football coverage with this supersaturation level of mobile gambling. It makes me feel like I'm going mad.

Saw an interesting item on the menu at Vice and had to try it… Buffalo Chicken Wing martini! Blue cheese, Frank’s hot sauce, celery! I couldn’t envision it being good, but I was pleasantly surprised at the execution- not what I expected and in fact it totally works!!

Bandcamp Friday! Why not check out this July's "Radical Honesty"- an album of pop songs where everything is something that literally happened to me, or how I truly feel, no artistic license used. Themes of queerness, aging, and anticapitalism! downupright.bandcamp.com/album/radica...

Going back and relistening to Moby's "Play" and hearing back-to-back "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" and "Natural Blues" ("ooh lordy my troublesome heart") and just taking away that Moby needs a cardiologist

@dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social Hello, I am just writing as a fellow Buffalonian to tell you that you are my favorite author I found this year. I devoured the first two Kindom books and prepurchased the third! You are great!!

I truly don't know how we get there, but there has to be some kind of reorientation of stock prices around tangible things like P/E and P&L and away from "the founder can extemporize bad science fiction off the top of their head". This coming market correction is gonna make 2008 look like a warmup.

Me when I am cranky (which to be fair, is not that often)

Been workin on this one myself and in NY State you get 8 chars so I am trying to figure out if i can work with DWNUPRGT

Here's my latest protest music column at the @goodmenproject.bsky.social, featuring... @publicenemyno1.bsky.social @chuckdpe.bsky.social ‬ @downupright.bsky.social ‬‬ @dropkickmurphys.com @davidrovics.bsky.social ‬ ‪ goodmenproject.com/featured-con... #protestmusic #protestsongs

Saw a post about "if you had to choose to live for one year inside the universe of a horror movie, which one" and was struck by immediately how many are vast improvements over this one. Literally any movie from like ~2005 But There's A Weird Cult or something. At least it would still be 2005!

Mastering the Troubleseekers OST tonight! Very excited for you to hear it, I've sculpted a singular mastering chain for it. Every track sounds like if Boards of Canada and Lofi Chillhop Girl were collaborating and then a drunk Phillip Glass smashed through the door and made them cover Koyaanisqatsi.

Literally caring about this at all is investor-brain and not joy-brain. Do you think I give a flying fuck if BSky grew or not this month? Right now it's fun for me and adds mirth and good shit to my life. That stands at any usage number (until it doesn't).

Honest question here- knowing that Gerrymandering works by packing blue voters into 100% districts (wasted) and spreading red voters across many 60-40 districts (just enough edge to always defeat leftover blues), how much could this backfire if R approval slides from terrible decisions?

After letting it slide a little too long due to not finding the time for maintenance, the pink is back in effect baby!! 👩‍🎤

It's Bandcamp Friday, and would you look at that... my 2025 full-length Radical Honesty is available over on Bandcamp!! Neat. Come join me and rage against capitalism in "Sold" and "Funeral... Internet", celebrate queer hoy in "Box in a Box", and more! downupright.bandcamp.com/album/radica...

Here are 10 new albums that'll tell you more than watching the news, including @downupright.bsky.social www.greenleft.org.au/content/10-n... #protestmusic #protestsongs

I was in an uber where the driver was on speakerphone with someone else and they were both discussing sexual assaults they had experienced. I was gobsmacked, I was like, do the woman you are on the phone with know a stranger is hearing this. Privacy!!

Awesome review from The Green Left, who totally picked up every inch of what I'm putting down. "...Fuck Bezos, fuck Musk, fuck Zuckerberg, fuck Trump. Remember what was, take back what they stole from us. So elbows up, out of luck, draw a dick on a Cybertruck." www.greenleft.org.au/content/10-n...

One thing I've noticed is really new (to me) with the AI influencers is the extent to which they need to phrase their evangelism as a threat. They must be hurting. Saw a few posts that were like: "listen. stop thinking for yourself immediately. ask Claude for literally everything or regret it"

All right, we are up on Bandcamp now! "Radical Honesty" is finally on EVERY platform! Thanks to everyone who has supported this release! downupright.bandcamp.com/album/radica...

An email has never found me well. Look, at the point in time I am seeing you hope that the email has found me well, I'm already having to read an email. You're starting from behind.

Having a completely normal day over on Instacart

Some of my favorite contact form spams I've been getting lately have just been people saying hi in other languages. "Guten tag!" Just that. Well, guten tag back to you, Fritz
