FTL Remix Project: Cold Boot (Space Cruise)

Just so that there's more content on this profile: I once covered the entire FTL soundtrack. Some of it was a little rushed. It was a lot of work and transcription by ear, and toward the end I fell prey to wanting to just *get it done,* but I'm mostly happy with it.

Lost Ship is the track that hooked me onto FTL and by extension the rest of your work so I couldn’t resist having a little jam to the new version. Gave me an excuse to practice in G# minor as well

oh apparently Ohio joined the effort to squash all dissent against the Trump regime on the 25th. these laws aren't about protecting anyone. they are about monitoring access to any content that might be contrary to the state's agenda

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

also: the UFCW isn't in any way a good organization; they just let three kroger divisions screw over their workers with bad contracts

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Pepper had minor surgery on her foot; she now gets to wear the comically oversized cone. As you can see, she is thrilled.

This 4th of July, I will be 38.
I don't think there's anything to celebrate this year.
At least they haven't tried to take Pepper yet.
