People are opening up Meta AI Ray Ban glasses and modding out the LED recording light, then selling them on eBay. There is huge interest in disabling this functionality, which means basically you cannot trust anyone wearing these (i'm sure you already weren't)

So I'm in a bit of a weird situation where I'm strongly incentivized to purchase a new laptop but can't have it shipped to my house (I won't be there for an unknown amount of time to receive it). If any of my followers has an off-the-shelf laptop model they recommend, drop it in my replies.

Look the reality is that there's no such thing as an electable politician that I completely and unambiguously agree with. But I'm very happy today to see that the candidates I chose in Edmonton that MOST aligned with my values all won.

Many years ago when I joked to a friend that "Bad things only seem to happen to other people" I knew I was setting myself up for a future year like this past 12 months has been.
I do not recommend playing games with the fates. Keep that shit under a tight heavy lid.

It really bums me out that promoters/bookers around here seem to rely super heavily on fucking Instagram and Facebook to get the word out about shows.
