I mean seriously, what else could go wrong? Also, it's strawberry season so shortcake is on the menu for dessert.

Yesterday's listen's - and this morning. Tiny Things by Tiny Habits (2023) https://album.link/zhq9tcbphnd6p Example: More of an EP at just under 19 minutes. A good listen, they play a strong harmony game, and they play it well. It was not quite what I expected from the album cover, but rewarding on multiple listenings. and More Alfred... Schubert: Piano Quintet - "Trout" by Cleveland Quartet (1978) There are a few more in my queue, but you get the idea...

More room porn than anything else. Via this real estate listing and /r/audiophile.

Toxic CEO: Replacing everyone with AI

Not Biscuits

This works too: ======================= CONCLUSION ======================= Ultimately, the question comes down to regime change in Iran [the USA]. Short of that, Iran [Trump] will renew its [his] quest for nuclear weapons [against citizens] -- though it will take years and still won't work. Achieving regime change in Iran [the USA] is a tall order, however. Frankly, it is beyond reach in military terms.

The Beach Boys - Surfs Up ex. full

Words Fall Short by Joshua Redman (2025) https://album.link/jhxqg6xc93kz7 Example: Second Blue Note release, instrumental with the exception Gabrielle returns for the final track. This is going on the high rotation playlist. Playing with full confidence on this set, and they are playing tight together. Worthy Blue Note release, and the sonics match.

This should end well. nO nEW WaRz.

Paradise (Hulu) - not what I expected (in a good way). Only 8 eps in this first season, & ep 7 is very intense. Hoping for a second season.

Congrats to the OKC Thunder, but I think basketball fans all over the world feel like we got robbed. One of the more magical Cinderella-type runs the NBA has ever seen ended in tradgedy. Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana's best player, went down with an achilles injury 7 mintues in to the game. The Pacers did their best to fight, but without their star it felt like Indy eventually wore down. That injury is one of the worst in sports and likely will cost Haliburton the entire upcoming season. The post game mood on all the shows I watch is totally dour.

The current world is so similar to pre WW2 era world. Bunch of crazy people elected using populism and false promises. They are getting crazier day by day. They polarise their own people by praising some of them and declaring others as unwanted. Warmongers manipulate them by using their egos. This shit is derailing so fast I wish there are some "hidden agendas". This shit is going south so fast.

Today is the 50th anniversary of Jaws. It's kind of a big deal around here.

Oof. Good point.
