Nothing is that surprising anymore, but it is worth noting that this young person as well as the Christchurch shooter both cited absolute nightmare of a human being Candace Owens as a primary influence.

Chicago I love you but I also have no idea why I *choose* to live in a city in which I have to dress like this to take my dog to the corner.

Alright music people who's going to #namm ?
It feels a bit weird though to take up a hotel room that could be used by someone displaced by the fires in LA. - is that a relevant concern in Anaheim?

Dark chocolate helps you lose weight by rewiring your brain to think chocolate is disgusting.

I am so into killing #tiktok - and yet the first time I'm on the cover of the @chicagotribune.com it's because I swallowed my contempt for the platform to help my friend make a Tik Tok video 🤦🏽‍♂️🙈.

If the millions of users who left Twitter and came to Bluesky also made a best attempt at not buying everything from #amazon, we'd really be getting somewhere.

Walking out of a grocery store without buying anything always makes me feel like I'm under suspicion of committing multiple felonies.

That is very polite given what part of Trump they are actually kissing.
Heh, Mark Cuban called Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook ring kissers.

Sub-bass rumble is the sonic equivalent of visible heat shimmer. I want to use it excessively but I'm afraid anyone with actual speakers will Luigi me after I destroy their gear.

Missed my goal of releasing this EP in 2024, which means I can safely spend the next 8,700 hours obsessing over every detail.

Not a historian by any means, but two events surrounding the to 1980 defeat of #jimmycarter seem to signal a turning point in the United States and the kernel of how broken our country would eventually become...

RIP Jimmy Carter. Seemingly by acclamatio, possibly the best person to have held the office of President of the United States.

Really want to check this out but I'm afraid if I listen to it I might never get laid again.

People always talk up the Sub37 and it would nice to have another voice and more knobs, but man the filter on the Little Phatty is FILTHY.

Any mix engineers want to fix my distorted ambient EP "for exposure"? Timeline is a very generous 48 hours and it's an incredible opportunity. I have similar incredible opportunities for mastering engineers and PR agents.

Started to post something sarcastic about the Parker Solar Probe's incredible feat today but won't. Let's just recognize that in the midst of so much political and social strife, the fact that #nasa exists and is still a collective and not a commercial effort is reason to be happy.

Normalize picking up the dog shit that other owners left lying around the dog park.

Me realizing that the same person flailing about at James Hetfield and having nonstop temper tantrums in Some Kind of Monster was the same person who played drums on ...And Justice For All.

Alcohol is the last hard drug it's acceptable to push on people and that it's weird if you're not a user.

The alcohol industry also kills 178,000 Americans per year (the next highest drug by annual deaths are opioids, at "just" 81,000.)
