Oh, you know, just listening to an almost 25-year-old punk album and super thankful that we've resolved all the problems that they were talking about.

Aaron is one of the kindest people I know, and has been a best friend for 20 years. It's been a very stressful week, but today he is successfully out of surgery. If you know him from the Louisville metal scene and can help, or just want to say FUCK CANCER, click here www.gofundme.com/f/aaron-faut...

If anyone needs a timeline cleanse today, this is Bun-Bun The Wonderkitty, who my brother rescued about a year and a half ago. He's tailless, built like a lil' smokie sausage, sits like an old man, and has just now discovered the joys of fresh laundry.

I just spent an hour staring at code and completely failing to find a simple-but-looks-correct error that I never would have made, and I assume that's what debugging generative AI / vibe coding is like, all the time forever.

POV: it's late September and your girlfriend was shopping for tasty treats

Set up an EFHW at camp and played radio, for the first time since I've been licensed (not long) the 15m band was on fire - I made my first trans-atlantic voice contact, a park-to-park into England! Also pictured, forest dorks over 40m SSTV, decoded by a friend back in Louisville.

Got out for a quick little trip to Hoosier National Forest this weekend, spent a little time on the kayak and a lot of time jamming Manilla Road and Pagan Altar by the campfire

As a foreign metal enjoyer, I'll often get songs stuck in my head but know zero words. My brain will absolutely still try to sing it to me though! Today in the shower it was V brezových hájech poblíž Babinej zjavoval sa nám podsvetný velmož, so, y'know. malokarpatan.bandcamp.com/album/krupin...

Thanks gmail, yeah, translate away. Has their AI nonsense never seen a *form letter* before?

Happy Equinox! Reposting this for @nottheroyalairforce.cc, it's very important

Very important rewatching business tonight.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

If you're looking for a Robert Redford film to watch tonight and have any interest at all in hacker culture, Sneakers is a great heist movie that was downright prescient about tech and modern media. Highly recommended.

And now, for something completely different.

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

Riffs stuck in my head for years: Lichmagick, blackened thrash about Liches. And Magick. The whole EP is solid and I want more. lichmagick.bandcamp.com/album/lichma...

All of our models of governance assume the agency head isn’t there to tear the entire thing down. It’s like a private equity takeover of government

Today's jams (and one of tomorrow's planned Bandcamp Friday pickups) is the first full length from Victoria, BC's Hedonist. Howling, crushing Old School Death Metal, for fans of Bolt Thrower, Trenchgrinder, and the like. hedonistsl.bandcamp.com/album/scapul...

So I've been getting into digital modes of amateur radio the past couple months after getting my General class license... Some days I can't make any contacts outside of a couple states, but tonight there was something special in the ionosphere.

Pouring one out for Jürgen Bartsch, metal got darker thanks to you. bethlehem.bandcamp.com/album/dark-m...

Hey man it’s not like he stabbed you in the head repeatedly to prove that he was trve cvlt

I can't stop laughing at this

Current, and with all of my heart, refusing to learn who "Bork" is. That's what the Swedish Chef says and nothing else.

No gods, no scrum masters.

what I want out of the next president is someone who thinks general sherman didn't go far enough

I like my Thai Chilis the way I like my metal. Black. (That line doesn't really work with death or thrash or doom but bear with me I'm trying and it's a beautiful plant)

The new Crypt Sermon EP just dropped and I never knew how much I needed to experience an Epic Doom cover of De Mysteriis Doom Sathanas. darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/saturn...

The furthest I've been: N: Cardiff, Wales E: Innsbruck, Austria S: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil W: San Fransisco, CA, USA

*We require your immediate attention to update your email signature.* Oh wow yes let me drop my billable work right now and get on your trifling nonsense.

It's my understanding that some people, when they are overly tired, can lay day for a quick refreshing nap and then do other things in their day. I tried that again and woke up with a start in the pitch black, not knowing what year it was.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Support your local taco truck.

Scrolling my bsky timeline: "I guess I'm listening to a bunch of Darkthrone today."

Mark Cuban talking about AI is very reminiscent of when Elon Musk started talking about software engineering. It caused a lot of us in the software engineering space to realize he's just very confidently wrong about everything, and this was probably also the case in other industries too.

KoL: Happy Christmas in July! Why not celebrate by smashing some skeletons in the Time-Twitching Tower that has reappeared in Seaside Town (history suggests it will stick around for a week).

A client sent me a list of users to script changes to and decided to use a font with the most egregious kerning I've ever seen. I absolutely read this name as Bumham (like a variant of Rum Ham) and was confused when the user didn't exist. In a normal font, it reads Burnham. You know, like the name.

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

I don't know where I'd be without heavy metal, but I know it wouldn't be the same without Sabbath. You had a hell of a ride.

Message Hidden Backward In Black Sabbath Album Wishes Everyone A Good Time Listening To Rock And Roll

Hugely popular in Ankh-Morpork these days

You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature? The Wicker Man (1973) and Hot Fuzz (2007). Two sides of the same coin and two opposing roles from Edward Woodward.

Currently playing - October Tide - Rain Without End. I can't think of a more fitting album title for this miserable summer. vicrecords1.bandcamp.com/album/rain-w...

I never really answer spam calls on the phone, not even to screw with them, but I've been listening to a lot of Breakcore lately, so now anyone who calls just gets to share in the Venetian Snares for as long as they like.

we're gonna get the stupidest possible version of skynet

Note that the administration’s claim of a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents is likely made up mostly of incidents like this: claims that a 71-year-old citizen “pushed” a masked armed agent.

A game I like to play when living in the 2020s is, "pretend you have to explain these words to your grandparents, who used an icebox when they were your age and had milk delivered by horse-drawn cart"

Unless there are mechanisms in place to make those uses impossible, it’s “meant” to do the most invasive and harmful thing people can think of to do with it.
