I run 4 miles most days and I usually post about whatever I listened to while I did that.

AEW, movies, TV, internet, outdoor things, theatre, mathcore/cybergrind/postpunk etc.

I teach physics, earth & space, and physical science.

The kids have brainrot memes that are basically random noises at this point but also, I have shit like "Urkel Veneration" and "going out like Stan Chera" and "thrown out of 'Beetlejuice' for vaping and jacking a guy off" floating around in mine from following politics, so I'm not necessarily ahead.
The Pitt will be like, "here's a fraught, complex interaction that touches on forgiveness and professionalism and goodness and redemption" and then, whoops! gotta break it up and deal with a baby!

I wanted to listen to "Long December" out of nowhere the other day and it's still so good. They were fun live cause you'd get shit like 10-minute "Round Here" and he'd sometimes change up melodies or the arrangements would be a little different; which is all stuff hardcore beat out of me later lol
What’s your favorite band you love that is a band a lot of people hate?

I ride or die for Counting Crows, especially the first two records and the double live disc.

JKR is in the Epstein Files and Stephen King didn't even think they were real, making him once again the superior teen author.

I was rethinking my vote when they shot up that ICU nurse, but I saw "Melania" last night and I think they've won me back over.

Back when I worked isp tech support, we'd get calls from rednecks who'd been kicked off of xbox for being racist and thought that we could get them reinstated, so it's really funny to imagine a sex trafficker who has proven the lynchpin of our modern miasma making that same call.

Favorite reveal from the latest Epstein drop is that Ephebophilia is actually short for "Epic Bacon Pedophilia".

Skynet gossiping itself into existence and pantsing us all instead of nuking us.

I tried to run yesterday but there was so much ice that i ended up averaging like 12:30/mile, being in the road more than I'd like, having to climb over/go around shit etc and its like 9 today, so I don't anticipate it improving right away.

Inasmuch as there's a dispossessed patriarch element to the incel phenomenon, I could see open source human cloning filling that demand.
Like, above a certain income bracket you just have a looksmaxxed version of yourself. Decent number of women probably'd do it too.
Progeny'd be fucked up though.

Iced out of both school and running for a week, during which I've managed to ignore portfolio shit but, I got 3 instrumental demos done which has allowed me to start rehearing vocals again. It's giving me a headache as I get back in shape, but it's like calluses with guitar; ya gotta suffer some.

Undercover as a paid seat filler at a "Melania" screening.

Playing "Metroid Prime 4" and "Doom Eternal" next to each other really lays bare how boring the combat is in the former. Like, the lack of both variety and tactics is depressing. Last boss fight has some interesting bits, but Doom has almost as many types of fodder as Metroid has enemies period.

Went to the dispensary the other day and a lady who was already there ahead of me was explaining the federal reserve to the security guy and, based on what I heard on "it could happen here" last week, it kinda hung together and kinda didn't but anyhoo; turns out that was Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

Wasn't Thekla's night, but this was one of those matches that lets you know that it will be soon. 🤼‍♂️

Against smoke and rubber bullets
In the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets

Perpetual motion machine made by hooking all the boomers spinning in their graves at this up to a generator and using the electricity to generate a version of this for each Beatle.

One of my favorite skramzy bands ever; ideal jazz + hardcore mixture. Tricky and cool and mathy but bare knuckled and vocally shredded. Also, as a punk musician the generation behind these guys, it's inspiring to see them still play these songs with this much commitment and joy.

I can't believe we got:

"People in SF are putting multi-agent Claudeswarms in charge of their lives."

and

"Jestermaxxing at the club is the new meta." in the same week.

Cathedrals everywhere etc.

My favorite running joke on "The Pitt" is Whitaker getting jizzed all over by something at least once an episode.
