Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was murdered while defending two women and his 1st and 2nd amendment rights. I thought these were things MAGA cared about?

If there is no justice for Alex Pretti there will never be justice for Renee Good or the countless other people ICE has already killed, and the many more they will kill in the future. This case is so cut and dried it's indefensible. They took his gun and dumped an entire mag in him. Pure evil.

Guys don't worry, Chuck Schumer is drafting a very strongly worded letter as we speak

My current struggle with guitar is tremolo picking. Way harder than it looks but I need to learn it for some Gojira songs.

Sultans of Swing is the best song ever made and it's not even close.

Godspeed to all my fellow Texans. I was never here for the 2021 winter storm and I hope I never have to live through that.

The guitar is SO sick in this song. I've been replaying it for months and it never gets old. The double-stops, the aggressive muting in the verse, god it's so good. I'll learn it one day but it's too advanced for me rn.

This Empty Northern Hemisphere is one of my favorite albums, if you haven't listened to it you definitely should! It also opens with one of my favorite songs *ever*, Dandelion Wine.

Sometimes I feel like quitting web development and joining my brother-in-law on the ranch.

At least cows don't suddenly upgrade to version 5.0 and break the entire farm because the geese aren't on 3.2.4 yet.

In hindsight, we didn't bully the web3/crypto crowd nearly as hard as we should've. Many of them have now pivoted to posting incoherent AI slop and calling it The Future, Again, for Real This Time. Brother the future was 5 years ago, let the monkey JPEGs go.

Anyone else kinda just not in the mood to write a 2025 in review blog post? I did for the past two years but they take a lot of time. A lot happened in 2025 that I *would* want to talk about, but... man, I'm tapped out.

You could tell me this is a TOOL song and I'd be none the wiser

Love it

Name that Deftones song!

(Section from today's practice session. Still a bit choppy, but getting there.)

It was not, in fact, more tolerable
Happy New Year, may 2026 be slightly more tolerable
