Nothing like a few hours of lugging around rocks and digging bushes and shit out of the ground to remind me that my computer job isn't so bad.

The local public radio station has a Dylan birthday marathon going on. I am locked the fuck in.

Ah yes, a screenshot of a Threads community note pasted under a screenshot of a Truth Social post. The truth always comes out.

now posted: complete transcripts for season 12 of the good ol' grateful deadcast, our extended hang at the 1975 "blues for allah" sessions, plus our episode with engineer dan healy. www.dead.net/deadcast-index #deadfreaksunite

I was grabbing a piece of leftover pizza at 3 PM and @armsofawoman27.bsky.social asked if I'd still have an appetite for dinner later.

Gas has gotten so expensive that most transactions are now handled exclusively with either ass or grass.

My favorite content to pirate is anything that streams exclusively on Amazon Prime.

From a heat transfer perspective, a dog's mouth serves a pretty similar role as a radiator does on a car.

Uh-oh the MC Escher sink is broken again, quick grab my combination wrench/spigot.

This whole thing sucks, but re-criminalizing the act of sparking one up on a park bench is straight up bullshit. wtop.com/virginia/202...

The life and music of late Grateful Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux will be celebrated with a pair of special memorial concerts in August. Check out the lineup Donna's Heart Of Gold Band mates Steve Kimock and Greg Anton put together ...

Good crowd of local hippies at The Garcia Project on a warm night in Saratoga. I'm pretty clueless on the setlist date thru set 1, Tears of Rage makes me think mid 90s maybe?

If hyperlinks become an "afterthought" then the web itself is functionally dead. That would be a big issue for these AI summarizers which by definition depend on PEOPLE posting original information and content on the web for other PEOPLE to access. techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/g...

Back in the pre-internet days, if you were trying to chase down high-quality Grateful Dead tapes one common tactic was to put a large sign at the end of your driveway that said "CLEAN PHIL WANTED"

Cops: What's your name Me, looking around the car and spotting a pack of Dentyne gum and some Visine eye drops: Uhhh Den...Vis. Denvis.

Let me guess: sand

Willful littering should earn you one (1) night in the slammer.

God bless the child that's got his own stash Nine to five and a place to crash

I watched the 1970 classic "Airport" last night. Definitely a great flick but I keep thinking about how it got a G rating despite multiple "sidepiece" plotlines plus a guy blowing himself up in the bathroom of a passenger jet.

More than his songwriting or even his guitar playing, Zappa's ability to recruit band members like Ike Willis was his most important skill. RIP to a legend.

That's pretty damn cool

This episode of Quantum Leap I have going in the background features a biker gang with young Diedrich Bader as the leader and young Mark Boone Junior as a member.

In the age of games on Amazon Prime and Apple TV, it's pretty cool to see Sunday Night Baseball being beamed for free into millions of homes through the magic of broadcast television for the first time ever this year.

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

MLB replay reviews should have a time limit of 30 seconds. If it takes longer than that, there's by definition not clear enough evidence to overturn.

Upside out, or inside down

Best of luck to John Travolta in his effort to replace Tom Hamilton as guitarist for JRAD.

Absolute powerhouse performance of LIG, goddamn. This whole show is good shit.

Joan Didion, in a never-been-seen-before essay, writing about The Grateful Dead in 1967. "I told the Dead I was trying to figure out what was going on and one of them said “When you find out, tell us.” “It’s an abrupt mutation,” another said." www.powmag.net/p/a-little-d...

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

I understand where the Slow Friend of The Devil hate comes from even if I don't agree with it. But Slow They Love Each Other hate is straight up nonsensical.

Important update: Hank's fine lol. He started putting weight back on his leg within a few days, we kept him leashed up to be safe but he had his follow up today and the doc says he's ready to rumble again.

having had the uncomfortable"cops reading your posts aloud to you" experience a decade ago, my takeaway is that however you feel about political violence, posting "i like political violence" on the internet is really really dumb

Just two hippie bands doing their thing on Sunday. Much better than a day full of 45 minute sets.

A Goose fan would go to target

I loved the first season and am happy to report season 2 of "Beef" was also super freakin good. Pretty easily the best Netflix series ever imo.
