I wrote a basic guide on how to tag your audio files with the correct metadata. It will take you longer to read this than to tag your files. This is essential for many reasons, but especially for folks sending out promos. davidmenestres.com/how-to-tag-y...

This laundry isn’t gonna dry itself.

Every glass of water you drink, is a little less water for the data centers. Stay hydrated.

Guess those jokes I've been making all summer about catching dengue in the garden here in Virginia haven't been jokes after all.

Virginia health officials have confirmed the state’s first known case of locally acquired dengue fever

Hmmm… noisy disco ball and Slint don’t exactly go together. I tried though.

Getting ready to make radio happen. Wish I had a sweater with me. At least I have my music though. @wrir973fm.bsky.social

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The official FAVORITE STREET TRAFFIC of today’s Breakfast Blend comes from Woofy Bus. Their cartoon mascot is cute AF.

Oh, my God. Nicest guy. Was on the Pogues bill at Carnegie with him. His love of music was palpable, infectious, radiant. I’ve seldom seen a musician as connected to the moment of the song as he was that night, in deep communion with the song & the people playing it. So many felt it. Hard loss.

DATA CENTERS: THE TRUTH "A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people - which only hires about ten people - is not an employer. They are an extraction."

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

I needed to lay down with an ice pack, so I put on a movie to fall asleep to. Y’all, I couldn’t even SLEEP through Sliding Doors because it was so fucking annoying I had to turn it off. And GOOP’s fucking fake British accent using slang over and over. IT WAS BLOODY SHAGGING AWFUL.

I’m too tired to go to any of the things tonight. I am a lump of molten lava.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Omg never try to spreadsheet while tired. 😭😭😭 Yesterday I spent hours tracking multiple database updates on a spreadsheet. Today I made an additional sheet with instructions and tried to upload it to a shared drive. Somehow I managed to overwrite everything except the instruction sheet.

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

Devastating news. Bonnie Tyler has passed away at 75. That powerhouse voice gave us some of the most iconic, timeless anthems of all time like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero." Rest in peace to a true music legend. 💔🕊️ www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/cul...

The Brian Turner Show on EVR, July 8, 2026

Order and disorder, a freeform haze of garbage guitars, shorted electronics, found detritus, collage, linear songs, sounds from strange lands. A freeform flangefest.

I have a fine selection of bug memes.

I just got off a 20minute phone call with Mitch McConnell where we talked about my playlist for this Thursday’s Breakfast Blend. He said it’s gonna be a banger and you should listen. WRIR.org from 6-8amET

Anybody’s else notice that an iPhone update disabled their existing morning alarms? I’m glad I woke up early on my own this morning. I don’t want to give apple my entire estimated sleep schedule. I just need to set an alarm.

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year
