Look folks, I know glioblastoma is a killer. A real hungry tumour. But you knoe what stats don't show? Grit. I'm putting Aunt Mildred in the mix for my best underdog bets of the week. Stay tuned, after the break I'll breakdown my 5-leg children's cancer ward parlay.

I have yet to use an AI tool for anything. I have nothing but pity for the kind of soft, smooth brain that thinks it is a neccessity for anything.

Maybe I just don't have the chops to run a music news site, but I do think that there's no reason to pay attention to the former DJ from Slipknot — beyond noting he's not in the band — or Ozzy's fail daughter and their myriad life issues.
So, in the next 7 days I have one of my best friends' wedding bookended by Killswitch Engage and Angelmaker shows. Your boy's gonna be feeling every bit his age by the following Thursday morning.
After watching a number of videos about people dying on Everest because they figured they knew better than sherpas, it blows my mind how strong the "RIP to those who died but I'm built different" drive is in some people.
Someone who no one wants to invite anywhere doesn't like games. Why did this merit a column?

Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
The difference between a decent guitar solo and an unhinged racist tirade is that Eric Clapton doesn't have the talent to write either but can at least improvise the second one live.
Being able to strangle Nelix in close quarters rules him out, so:

The only time Lincoln was challenged to a duel, his opponent wanted to use pistols but Lincoln chose broadswords his opponent backed down
The only creative industry that is inarguably both doing well and doing great work right now is "new baseball guy names."
Bobby Nightengale@nightengalejr.bsky.social · 5d agoJhomnardo Reyes is going to the Orioles for Dean Kremer, per source.
PEGGY: I don’t see the problem, Hank. Didn’t you collect trading cards when you were his age? HANK: Yeah, but mine had guys like Tom Seaver on ‘em, not.. (guh).. Planeswalkers.
You fire me and then ask for my help? I would triple my rate, at a minimum.
Canada's National Observer@nationalobserver.com · 5d agoOfficials at Canada's agriculture department are asking scientists who were abruptly fired earlier this year to help the agency decide its future research goals, Canada's National Observer has found.
i was just rick rolled by a qr code tattooed on a man’s leg
There's even a difference between an AI data center and a traditional supercomputing (HPC) data center. LineShine only pulls 42 MW. El Capitan is under 30 MW. And these are systems doing real work and solving real problems.
I would suggest examining the difference between a traditional data centre and an AI data centre. One is an unintrusive, easily ignored building, the other is an environment disaster with an absurd need for power, built to serve non-existent demand for a dubious product.
'It can happen to anyone. You just get in your car and start driving, you run someone down just to feel something. Suddenly you're mowing through friends, family, even your own wife and kids, just to get that same thrill. My heart is broken for Anthony Smith.'

More of that vaunted American freedom, where you are expected to grovel before a middle eastern terrorist state in order to qualify for elected office.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 6d agoI cannot emphasize enough times to enough people that Zohran Mamdani was asked approximately 106,437,592,841 times in 2025 if he thought Israel has "the right to exist", to which he replied "yes, with equal rights for all" and all 106,437,592,841 times the people who asked took that as a "no".
Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year
doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me
my plug keeps sending ravens that say “i’m but a days ride from the castle” bro you aren’t even in my lord’s many and vast territories
If Fetterman was born 100 years earlier his parents would have just sold him to the circus and everyone wins but the moving picture shows ruined all that
I was gonna make a joke about Joe Rogan but it turns out he said this on Joe Rogan so now I've got nothin
