It seems to be a common pattern in React applications to wrap a <button> element inside a link (<a> element). I cannot figure out why this is a thing. And I can think of many reasons why it ought to be avoided fastidiously. Can someone enlighten me as to why this seems to be a common practice?

I resisted adding this to my Cat Piano playlist even though a cat does show up in the lower right at the very end.

It's the time of year to start busting out all the favorites from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Hey, I'll be playing some of these at the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA on December 20 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ_H...

Oh wait. nm

Man, I dunno how this little jankbot got Taranchula to write his theme song! Dark is the day, in-freakin-deed!

It's Monday. So I thought I'd checka my email. flashy: homestarrunner.com/sbemails/210... tubey: youtu.be/-zhsNdk1_Vc?si

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior

It's getting close enough to the holiday season that I can finally post this Tom Lehrer tune. Sadly, we lost him this year, but he left us so many great songs. youtu.be/mTu_ScPwLQE

To be clear: These donations are bribes, made anonymously to conceal Trump’s corruption.

It's official: Trump is insane All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates

Mashup of Britney Spears' "Toxic" with "Strong Bad Is A Bad Guy"

It's been a while since I've done one of these.... (Just checked and it's only been about three months. Felt longer.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx6k...

Here's "Sweet Potato Pie" by Cory Wong (from the Wong's Cafe album) arranged for piano. I posted a video of this almost a year ago, but it was on a digital piano and it really needs the 100+ year old upright piano treatment. The old piano even makes my wrong notes sound OK.

When you are geolocating at the protest based on inflatable animals

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

A few of the signs at No Kings in San Francisco today. I wish we didn’t need protests like this as badly as we do but here we are.

In the ATL-ish area? Come demo Trogdor The Board Game, take some Skills of an Artist drawing lessons, or play my point n' click Dangeresque game with me this weekend at @multiversecon.bsky.social! www.eventeny.com/events/multi...

I play a lot of imitation ragtime so I try to keep at least one piece of the genuine article in my repertoire and it doesn't get any more genuine than the "Maple Leaf Rag". youtu.be/K_76RjHOGy0

I did a video of me playing this already, but some people commented that the lighting made it look like I was in a cave and also wanted to know why I was playing it on a digital piano when other recent videos have me on a piano. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOBU...

The Sunday night homemade pizza traditionat the Trott house continues.

"This letter embarrasses and disgraces the office of the United States Attorney General."

Downtown San Francisco yesterday morning.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US. All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

"Business leaders – panicked to the point of paranoia about a candidate whose most radical position seems to be 'free bus fares' and not, you know, 'seize the means of production' or 'wheel out the guillotines' – will surely salt the earth out of spite, but they'll just be hurting themselves."

Are you fucking kidding me.

These people look suspiciously like those Videlectrix Guys. www.multiversecon.org

I disputed a copyright ID on YouTube tonight, explaining that my usage of a small portion of a "Weird" Al parody was in fact not a copyright violation because parody is one of the permited copyright exceptions, and my work is a parody of the parody.

Here's Vulfmon & Jacob Jeffries' "Banc de poissons" but with just one player. (Hi, it's me. I mean, obviously. I think.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HpH...

The character limit prevented me from adding: "Oh, did I say HOAs? I meant the federal government." I don't actually give a crap about HOAs.

About HOAs: * Rules to stop corruption and protect individuals don't matter if those in charge don't want to follow them. * There is no reason to presume that people in power are smart, talented, honorable, or qualified. * You have to fight for an honorable governing body. The fight does not end.

Criticizing Charlie Kirk is a fireable offense that incites domestic terrorism. But calling political opponents "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" is proper and good. Got it.

I made a playlist of all the videos I've made where I'm playing piano while a cat watches (or sleeps nearby or whatever). www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This is good and right. (Nobody needs to remind me that other stuff Newsom does is bad, okay?)

Here's a short rendition of Vince Guaraldi's "Theme to Grace" that I posted a year-and-a-half ago. Recently, someone asked for a transcription, so I put that up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/theme-...

I've got other things to focus on right now and was going to post this next week, but then Vulfmon posted a tutorial a few hours ago and that made finishing it pretty effortless. So, here it is.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Today was the last day of Flower Piano 2025 so I squeezed in one more tune.

I took the day off for other reasons, but I made sure I got some Flower Piano time in. I like the birds on this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jg4...

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Bright spot in dark times: It's Flower Piano time at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. Here's my playing an obscure early Vince Guaraldi tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ni...

Best thing I’ve watched in a long time.

Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.

Todayborday is Labor Day in the U.S. and Canada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=suxK...

I believe this Swedish release contains Dave Frishberg's only solo performance of "Peel Me A Grape". It's very short. I wanted to learn it, so here's my transcription. I thought he played it on NPR once, but I can't find it. Did I imagine it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQwD...

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

This isn't the type of thing I usually post anymore, but since "Open Source is One Person" is making the rounds, I guess I can dig this up from 4 years ago. Apologies for the cringy weak attempt to imitate an NPR story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zti...
