For some reason I cannot stop laughing at this......

Went to the San Jose Lowrider Day downtown today. Quick visit, but some snaps from Hassy 907x 50c with XCD 45p (4x3) and Nikon Df with CV 40mm f/2 (3x2). Funny enough I liked more Nikon shots.

That reminds me,

Got to see a jazz orchestra play at a house party (the house of the drummer; when did drummers get houses and not cardboard boxes to live in? And there was this bonkers 50ft radius tree swing he built for his kids (and it's *totally* not a sex swing, I hear). It's pretty bonkers. Was hit up about this just hours before it started; such a neat thing to stumble across. I knew 2.5ish people b4 I went there and came out probably having expanded the musician friend group in the area a bit. My kind of people (band nerds.) Such a good time.

How old DOS games actually sounded (if you had money):

Love that video.....I only wish they had Bernie's intro where he accentuates that this is "HIS" version of "my song." Plus....I realize that "Hip Bill" dancing....is kind of like Trump! 🤣

Not really, but they were the ones leaving written evidence

Did someone say ice cream? And a view?

take that AI...

I started posting this in the ambient/IDM thread and quickly realized I was talking about cats, not ambient music. I have mentioned Martin Strutzer to my (sainted, octogenarian) mother a number of times over the years, specially how he does live ambient "jams" while his incredibly well behaved cat sits patiently beside him. She asked me to play a video of him performing, and I found this one on the YouTubes: The cat does its job to a T. I continue to be amazed how cooperative it is. Compare to my attempts to DJ with the "help" of Ozzie the cat some 15 years ago: I never DJ'd around Heidi the cat, but I am positive I know what she'd have done if I did. It would NOT be "sit there patiently and wait to be petted."

See! Here you fuckers go again! You find an object so hideous that even straight people can't stand to look at it, then you decide "oh, let's paint a rainbow on it and make it homo-chic." Even rainbows and fairy dust have their limits! Stop misusing my culture!
