Young bands are like "let's just name ourselves The Ramones, who fucking cares if it's taken" which I kind of respect but it is annoying to try to figure out which of 79 bands named like "Birds" is playing when all promo is done via fleeting IG reel with no venue/city/date info
I've had a problem with GMail for years already bc I got FirstnameLastname@gmail and now 20 years later thousands of boomers worldwide assume it's their email address and half my inbox is all the shit they sign up for using my address. Now with AI and constant malfunctioning it's 100% unusable
The main project of the US now is a line-item vindication of the most histrionic and paranoid stuff ever said by Jello Biafra
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3d agoWASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in December.
Really wish I could've planned one last big e-waste score at my former job. There were at least ten 6TB HDDs I'd pulled out of our old security system just sitting in a closet, I know for a fact they'll never get reused now
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 3d agoRunning out of hard drive space & just looked up the price of external hard drives right now & the same one I got several years ago is double the price it was when it got it so yeah man I’m pretty fuckin’ far from OK
It's probably a good sign when your city has too many Doordash drivers and there's a wait list
Seeing FB reels showing that Nick Shirley is doing his "walking around downtown pointing at things and saying Fraud" routine in Portland currently and fingers crossed I feel like there's a non-zero chance he is dumb enough to stroll in front of a MAX at one of our many unprotected crossings
Made a FB post about looking for audio gigs and posted a link to my project studio and FB automatically added a link to a similarly named porn spam IG account that it would not permit me to remove so I just gave up and deleted the post
Every morning God spins two big Wheel of Fortune wheels to determine which fingertip on my fretting hand will sustain which injury
Every time I open Steam there's one or two new games in there called like The Paradox Ultimatum or Bullets Cost Extra! that I have zero memory of buying
We've just totally given up on subtitles huh. Like that's just something from a different era that we can't have anymore
Let Go! Right Before The Holidays
I don't believe in woo woo like crystals or horoscopes but I do have an unshakeable genetic sense that if I ever managed to play an arcade game good enough it might trigger some kind of magical event
The "constant reminders that everything is brutal stupid dogshit run by omnipotent psychopaths determined to annihilate everything good in the universe" is kinda outweighing the fun stuff one here these days. gotta flip the CLOSED sign on this account for a bit i think
It's nice that in a time of increasingly shoddy product quality, cat food cans are made of aircraft grade steel and recycled katanas that will slice you to the bone if you make a false moving washing them out
I gave 25 bucks to Bernie Sanders a fucking decade ago, the only campaign contribution I've ever made in my life, and to this day I'm still swatting down 50 Democratic fundraising emails a week that all think my name is Mark for some reason
Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.
Luke O'Neil@lukeoneil47.bsky.social · 2w agoRemember when the president of Cornell got so mad at some anti-Israeli-genocide protestors on campus he tried to hit some of his own students with his car?
OK I've now seen someone earnestly assert "Rivers Cuomo invented emo" in multiple places now. did some YouTube or podcast moron say this recently
It doesn't need any more discourse but it occurs to me that the main way to hear top 40 shit outside your wheelhouse used to be shopping/errands and if you didn't notice we've simultaneously eliminated as many retail jobs as possible while also nuking 3rd spaces and physical retail itself
"Choosin Texas" this, "Choosin Texas" that. I'm "choosin t'exist" in a state of mind where I don't care what's in the top 40 because I'm an adult with my own taste formed by my genetics and my environment, neither of which I can Choos
the fuck is this little OBJ tag? Do other people see this? It shows up in every view of this post on mobile
These fuckin things are training in Portland now. I'm sure the universe will immediately throw a situation at me where it'll be required for a work thing or my cats are somehow at stake or something, but I will never get in a "self driving" car under my own power
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2w agojesus christ no
Wow, can't believe no Sega Master System fans in this crowd of zoomers at the arcade came up to compliment my DJing
Seeing a lot of Matt Freeman in the "name your 4 top bass players" thing and he is great but he does that thing a lot where he plays blue notes against guitars doing Lydian mode stuff that always sounds like amateur hour to me. You know who always plays in the right mode? Todd from Propagandhi
Oh no, was it weird to bring iced coffee to this 3,000th vibes-based discrimination gauntlet I've run this month? That we've put hallucinating AI in charge of screening for? Does a columnist who hasn't interviewed for a job since 1995 think it's WEIRD? Oh fuck, oh no
I'm essentially a flinching little wussy who can't bring myself to kill a bug but I think if someone talked to me like this in real life I would punch them in the trachea without thinking
The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place
Ellsworth Online@ellsworth29.bsky.social · 2w agochat, do we think the pivot is working
Choosing to interpret it as a recession indicator if you go to an arcade and every game doesn't have an impossible-to-touch high score set by some local pervert
