Am I the only one that sees that and thinks of the Ever Given?

Aw, condolences.

I love this. Low-key hate the thumbnail, but I do appreciate his judgemental tone towards zoomers more recent peoples trying to take ownership of the term.

It's not as concise.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Have you ever heard Liza Minelli's version? She really owns it.

...any more than it knows how to anatomy.

Been staying home for the past couple days to do a coding challenge today. So today was rice day, apparently -- Right Rice, and Uncle Ben's, both Spanish rice varieties. (Not my usual super-spicy comfort food, but super-easy on the stomach, which is what I was looking for.) The downside is, I'm super hungry, but it's late enough that I don't want to eat big.

https://album.link/v7bntbzrkbv2k A most unsearchable name (The Path by Light), but kinda awesome! Mostly orchestral (not "symphonic"), mostly instrumental progressive music. Recommended to fans of Mike Oldfield, Philip Glass, pastoral classical music.

Looks like Snoop Dogg...with a Willie Nelson wig and funny lighting and exposure to make him look pale. Unrelated:

Oh, that's not even the real nightmare. https://medium.com/@andrew_johnson_4/applications-of-large-language-models-in-medical-diagnoses-e0d3a113b3bc I mean, those photos and videos are fun and benign, compared to THAT.

It makes me think of that scene in one of the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson where Half-cocked Jack needs to make phosphor out of piss, so he distills it. (crickets) Just me?

I'm not financially supporting vandalism!

Unrelated: new Hiromi! I love the little headbobs.

My other favourite DJ played an all-shoegaze night the other night, and I was reminded how much I love shoegaze. Besides Slowdive, I'm also particularly fond of Life On Venus and Gleemer.

I've been on a First Wave of Post-Hardcore kick lately. Sunny Day Real Estate, Diary Girls Against Boys, (pretty much whatever hits my fancy, will probably end up listening to the entire discog, including EPs) Fugazi's probably next

Dagnabit, this is one of the only places left where I can still use the word, "cunt", without getting cancelled. Every place else, I have to use the unisex, "asshole".

I love Yello so hard. I even got their ridiculous multimedia boxset.

At least you don't put bananas in yours.

I have a Pro-Ject, but it seems even that would be outside of her budget. https://www.turntablelab.com/collections/turntables-under-350-alpha Perhaps the Numark USB one? I don't think it would need a preamp.

68, huh? One short. (wiggles eyebrows)

In the parlance of the kids, I'm serious, not just the fact that you do this every year, but the fact that you keep up your physique throughout the year is very admirable.

Yarp.
