What are you doing tonight? me?oh, just watched how quantum computers help crack rsa encryption and how electricity works. Did I understand it? Kind of. At the end, did I really learn anything? I can tell you I watched it and kind of understood it. But tomorrow? I won't remember much at all.

Anyone else seeing a huge problem with ICE agent shooting a protester, raising half a million on GoFundMe and knowing Trump will pardon him? You think there aren't other agents going, hmmmm. Prepare to see more ice agents shooting people, doing the Kyle R. right wing talk circuit and retiring.

Somebody at work asked me how to research if their favorite AI band's music was generated by sketchy people. I thought he was taking the piss but when I realized he was serious, I just said, "assume they all are. I don't know what to say". He knows it's AI generated and that's his concern?

Fascinating. Humanity is smart enough to do this, but somehow, we have a moron as president. It's a paradox that I will never fully comprehend.

My wife was watching this on her phone and found a pretty bad subtitle. Radiant. Not racist. This must have been AI or someone who does understand context in their English.

I got a new phone today because I got sick of Verizon telling me I could upgrade to a new Pixel 10 for free. I upgraded the memory, so I am paying 2.99 a month. I've been dreading it because of passwords and shit, but it's easier than expected. Just gotta get work Outlook hooked up. No rush. Ha.

2026 is a shitshow in the body politic, but music wise, it's 🤌🔥. I was made aware that Ludicra put out a fantastic live album last year. Spectral Lore, déhà, Unendlich, Fuath and Ellende putting out bangers and I LOVE the new Woe re-recorded album. It's so vibrant and raw. I ❤️ the mix #metalsky

It's our drummer Tobias' birthday today! He's not only the best drummer, but probably also the best guitarist in the band. Watch him performing 'Idyll' live at Christuskirche Bochum as an encore on the last day of our INNERN Release Tour: youtu.be/GjDXDLU05cs?...

Some people would say this makes your lose credibility with you "paid agitators" bullshit. Not that most people believed you before, but no one looks at that and assumes paid agitators. Hopefully anyone with a functioning brain stem can see that.
Nancy Mace: "It appears that the ICE agent was struck by the car, and in the first video you just showed you can see the agent limping away after he fired shots. So I agree with President Trump and Secretary Noem that this was an act of domestic terrorism. These were, it appears, paid agitators."

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.
Scum.

Remember, his son owns part of a military drone company. The Mafia boss always gets a taste.
They just did a massive increase last year for an all-time record military budget. Now Trump wants 50% more while we are approaching $40 trillion in debt.

Deha tends to overwhelm with his sheer output of music, but damn it, if he's not consistently good. I completely missed that last year he released part 1 of this. You don't pay attention because he just released an album and boom, you miss a banger album. #metalsky

I know this is just a reinterpretation of the previous album, but it feels like quite a bit more than that. I really, really like this version. This is a raw beast recorded live in the studio and it just feels tough and emotional. Really outstanding. #metalsky

Any song one could play, at every single event you are at, every single fucking day for like 10 years, and it's this one? Tell me how you wouldn't hate it by now? Yet the monkey dances like he's wound up like a toy. How does ANYONE think he's cool? Making your personality about this loser is insane.

My check engine light came on so I took it in to get it checked out and it's a leak in the emissions system. The bill starts at $1,000 and if they find another leak after they fix this one, it'll keep going up. Not how I wanted to start my day.

When the dumbest among us start saying we went into Venezuela to find the voting machines hacking proof of 2020 (as in they think we will find it), I realize it's entirely the possible that that may be the reason that the dumbest of us all may have actually done it.
