It feels a little backwards to have acquired the new Strokes album on vinyl considering I bought all the old ones on CD when they came out, but the packaging is dope (and I dig the album itself).
If you don't love me at my Scrooge, you don't deserve me at my Ebenezer.
Also my heart goes out to the dozens of mid-twenties DC men who now have to scramble to come up with rent money.
The Grindr “In Memoriam” video for him was very touching, though I’m surprised they were able to clear the rights for Hall and Oates Maneater
Also, sitting down to watch the only 4th tradition I maintain:
Current view from my bedroom window (I swear this is not the result of me having sex)
"I had no idea this many people were also so passionate about text processing" - me right before being sorely disappointed clicking on the "Latex Day" trending topic

Last Summercon I attended was when it was at The Delancey (~15 years ago) but I just bought a ticket and am kind of excited.

Pete Carroll was doing a long con, Tenet-style operation from when he was our coach.
Also I will die on the hill that MiniDiscs were the coolest media format we ever had and that they didn't proliferate for data use (except for in the beginning of the Matrix) is a travesty.
Chris Gale@m0nastic.bsky.social · 4mo agoYou gave your crush a mixtape; I curated a 240-minute guided sonic experience with skits and interludes on MiniDisc for my best friend that required her to also carry around a MiniDisc player. We are not the same.

The Artemis crew landing is going to be like a reverse-Harambe and things will start to get better.

Sean Carroll@seanmcarroll.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhat would you do alone in a cage with nothing but cocaine? (You've probably been wondering!) My JHU philosophy colleague Hanna Pickard tackles the question, here in a panel discussion celebrating her book launch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOJE...
Everything's fine, they're adding five more minutes to the Doomsday Clock. It's currently 11:62

They moved CCD to early Saturday morning (like 7) and my mom was too hungover to take me anymore.
Had I a single entrepreneurial bone in my body I would start a consultancy to spend the next few years parachuting in to companies and rip out their moribund agentic A.I. projects. Maybe don't even charge them but just film it like those lawn mowing social media guys.
