it was extremely funny

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Sending love to Parker's family tonight, and to everyone in Calgary who joined in the search. This is heartbreaking.

Anyhow. This is a nearly decade old piece that says it all. www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

I had an absolute blast performing last Saturday at Dandelion Records (Vancouver). Huge thanks to Jeff and Laura @dandelionrecords.bsky.social, Jamison @jtgladysz.bsky.social, Scott Aitken, and Caroline Musselli. Also to Jamie @hothamsound.bsky.social for making Subtropical Tape Sessions possible.

Really wanna knock on these people's door and ask if Arnie's home.

Me realizing that all the 'you're old' memes are now about people 10 years younger than me.

Dear Novelists, If you find yourself writing the following dialogue... 'Listen, damn it!' 'No YOU Listen! And Listen GOOD!' ...it's time to stop, take a deep breath, and step away from your work desk. Not for a short break, but permanently. Please stop writing forever. Thank you.

If only we could be as beautiful as this fucking haunted gremlin egg child over here.

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

Anyone remember 'Animatrix:The Second Renaissance,' where the army jacked up all their soldiers on steroids and speed before they sent them into battle? Yeah, that went well.

The idea that we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead seems ridiculous to me. What more important time is there to set the public memory of the good or bad a person has put into the world than when they die. It’s the gift we give to those we loved, and the bill due for those who made others miserable.

Even if the myopic goofies are right, and posting on Twitter would literally change peoples minds in my favor, I would not do it because I would rather die than provide free monetized content for the subhuman cringelord Elon Musk

No idea what the music sounds like, but the search for the greatest album title of the year is over.

Spielberg is the only living film director with the institutional clout and cultural pedigree to make a film about the sickness at the heart of Israeli society and have it actually change minds and influence policy. He could literally alter the course of history for the better. But nah...aliens.

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.
