So what kind of message can you create using only song titles on @touchtunes.bsky.social ? I know I’ll get shit on this one but always curious to know what kinds of messages other folks drop on the jukebox

Didn’t know who you were… algorithm noticed I was looking at a lot of 40k lately and I’m not mad you showed up on my feed. It made me look to see what I could find on Amazon (mostly crap) so I’m going to hit up the book stores in the morning for the 40K books!!

honest question of determining a red state… NC has a Dem governor with predominantly Rep legislators. Is the determination based on electoral votes red vs blue? Not saying Winston-Salem isn’t crime ridden, just wanted clarification on how a state was marked.

Loved the hi-res flac folders… more fun than having to update my ftp program that hasn’t been run in a few years.

For anyone who who is looking for a great show this summer, I have to recommend seeing @mcchris.bsky.social currently touring the US. Great openers… and mc chris putting on a great 2hr set. I was absolutely exhausted the next day at work but no regrets #nerdcore

The moment you realized that maybe this paid quest from two years ago isn’t worth it and then you crunch the numbers that you’ve thrown 300 excellent throws in 4 days… we won’t discuss how many pokeballs have been thrown during that time. #pokemongo

And fuck me for misreading the weather patterns earlier. Everything should have stayed north a bit. Totally missed the danglers in the back. Durham got ROCKED earlier. Haven’t seen that deep of red on radar in a while.

RTP took a pretty good beating tonight with this storm. Several friends without power for a few more hours. Some RDU flights got diverted elsewhere.
My nerves are shot… had to calm with bourbon. Storm has passed now so I can try to sleep for a short while.

Here at The Ritz in Raleigh for the Less Than Jake Summer Circus show with @bitemebambi.bsky.social … @suicidemachines.bsky.social … @fishboneband.bsky.social … a great way to spend a Wednesday evening away from the absolute madness of the world for a few hours.

One of those places I miss after I moved to NC… hell to find parking but great place to go on a Sunday morning before heading to Disneyland for the day.

since it is Memorial Weekend here in the US, it is best to put on Guttermouth’s “Mr. Barbeque” for your safety instructions for your outdoor event. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylcollection #recordcollection #socalpunk
