Now playing: Cecil Taylor - It Is In The Brewing Luminous LP (1981, HatHut) The first Cecil I heard, bought unheard on CD when I was first dipping my toes in the free jazz pool. #nowplaying #recordsthegoodkind

Musk keeps focusing on “names” which is disingenuous when the most effective program he killed was focused on AIDS *prevention*. The people it saved were people who *did not get sick*.

"It’s beyond contestation that USAID’s destruction unleashed fresh humanitarian horrors. But the key event here is Musk continuing to assert otherwise in the face of an escalation of human suffering that’s amply documented: You can’t name these people. They never existed."

The best part of the Elon interview with @economist.com was his confident proclamation that grocery-store tomatoes are far superior to those fresh out of the garden. What a maroon.

I cordially invite this heat dome to fuck right off.

It's nice having AI to dig up cover art for an ultra-obscurity like The Beatles.

This sounds really dirty.

I can tell Trump/Hegseth are running the 160th SOAR ragged because they are doing very little high-altitude flying training out of COS, which ordinarily takes them right over my house nightly about one night in three year-round.

Workplace instant messaging is a fucking curse.

Now plaing: The Hobknobs - Helmets Off LP (2026, 12XU.) As delightful as their track on “Going back to sleep…”. They are firmly in my imaginary Gonerfest dream team for a Trump-Miller-less world. #nowplaying #recordsthegoodkind

I am attempting to purchase a new car, and would really like to know what possible function a car dealer has in 2026.

The rideshare service sent the driver to my house 20 minutes early and claimed it was due to “traffic,” must be that 4:25 AM rush. The driver was extremely chatty and had some brain-curdlingly bad “praise” music going on the stereo. Deep hurting.
