Five Concerts you've seen with a woman lead singer: Lucinda Williams Joan Jett The Fugees Pat Benatar (I count her free show at a July 4 carnival at the Ozzie Smith Center!) That may be it; this is what I get for going to Louder Than Life

So generative AI is bad at coding, bad at keeping networks online, bad at lawyering, bad at running air traffic control, bad at medicine, bad at therapy, bad at cooking, and bad at following laws, but it's DEFINITELY worth burning the planet down and building the entire economy around it, amirite

I am so glad I tracked down and bought the non-Office 365 version of Word etc. Got it mostly because it doesn't contain Copilot. Holding onto it forever because it still works when the MS servers are down.

First - Pink Floyd Last - Squeeze Worst - G*psy Kings Loudest - Adam Ant Best - Bowie Seen the most - Bad Religion (full shows), Gordon Lightfoot (guest appearances) Most surprising - Violent Femmes Happy I saw - Johnny Cash Wish I saw - Aretha

Just watched the last episode of MASH for the first time since 1983. Cried this time, too.

My father was drafted into the US Army during peacetime, between the Korean and Vietnam wars. He was stationed in Germany for a while. He HATED it. Jumped up and down on his uniform the day he got out. I sometimes wonder how combat would have changed him (but I’m grateful never to have found out).

the mother of DBT passed away yesterday Dr. Marsha Linehan was a prolific clinician & a primary force behind dialectical behavioral therapy her story of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and creating a therapy that would ACTUALLY help is inspiring & should be a lesson on stigma

A mother bear and her three cubs. Horrific.

OMG 😱😱😱😱😱 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

November 10, 1997. Still grateful that @mrklutz.bsky.social @skleinedler.bsky.social @qath.bsky.social were with us.

Today is a Get Shit Done kind of day (rare). Sending emails and making long-delayed phone calls. It turns out my father's life insurance company has been trying to reach the listed beneficiary, my mother, who died three years ago this week. So now I have to wait more, then prove I'm next in line.

I need to build a website for my new private practice. It has been ~30 years since I built a website from scratch. I guess the days of hand-coding HTML files in vim are over, but I do not want anything to do with AI. At a bit of a loss.

I know it's a terrible time to be buying computer hardware, but yesterday my anxiety got the better of me and I invested in a 2TB external drive for backing up my laptop. I feel a lot better knowing that when (not if) this creaky old computer gives up the ghost, I won't lose data.

We do not want "back to normal," we want Better Than You Ever Dreamed.

As someone who has done research and community education on problem gambling: the betting platforms and the gambling ads have got to go. They’re a scourge.

While we’re all thinking about our voter demands, I want all those betting platforms decimated. Into dust.

They're betting on AI. We're betting on the recurrence of people posing for photographs with exquisite, heritage sheep.

HEY CIS PEOPLE: here is your reminder that things are Still Not Remotely Okay for trans people in the US, and a fair chunk of this blue wave has come out in favor of that. What we've won is a slim gddamn chance, and we need you to get a crowbar into it and pry it wider.

Our contractor’s family emergency: the loss of his sister and niece. So, so awful.

Can we please give a HUGE shout out to Stacey Abrams? She worked and fought and organized and created the foundation for the important win by Keisha Lance Bottoms to become the first female and first Black governor in Georgia's history, as well as the first Black female governor in the US.

This is a mandate for impeachments, abolishing ICE, prosecuting corruption, investigating DOGE and demolishing whatever wedding cake monstrosities get built before the family flees to some jurisdiction without an extradition treaty

@mrklutz.bsky.social Blue Texas! Congratulations!!!

Stephen Miller tribunal when?

Meanwhile on Tumblr

South Carolina! Texas! 🤩

Sending all love to Stacey Abrams tonight. Thank you for showing the nation and the WORLD what's possible. Thank you for stretching our imaginations.

My parents' 1983 Honda Civic, which later became mine in all but name until I had to sell it to move to Canada. I named him Gromit. He was blue and I loved him.

QOTD: What car did you learn to drive a manual transmission in? I learned in a friend’s 1987 Chevy Spectrum.

Watching the US election coverage today from behind the couch. (I voted a month ago.) Hoping past hope that my fellow citizens kick out the Nazis and rebuild in ways that centre and honour the people they're trying so hard to erase.

Might get recruited to help with a sheep drive today. Could be tomorrow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Meanwhile our contractor has a family emergency and has to fly out west. He is a really good guy and seems very broken up about it, so I am not the least bit mad, just resigned to household chaos for even longer.

Good morning. What say we give Nazis a bad day?
