Wow, people have always made fun of Ohio, but I didn't realize it stood on its own as an *international* pejorative slang word

Is Ohio a slang now? 🤔🫠

I've not tried it yet, but I've been told it tastes like cinnamon with a hint of chocolate and mushy oyster crackers.

I just discovered that disconnecting from wifi and using mobile data instead is a workaround (for now)

Fans of @tmbg.bsky.social after receiving their limited edition John Henry sledgehammers:

Photoshop of Darth Maul from Star Wars, but instead of a lightsaber, he is holding two small They Might Be Giants sledgehammers. His head has been replaced by the face of poet William Allen White, who has become a sort of mascot for the band

Ah, I no longer have access to DMs due to the great state of Ohio's new internet age verification laws, and I have no intention of providing my ID. It looks like someone tried to send me a dm, so if that was you, I cannot read it.

Here's Entropy, the closing track from my new album, Tartarus. I'm not usually one who wants the ending spoiled for me, but maybe you are? Give this one a listen, and if you find your interest piqued, check out the rest of the album!

It's a downright beautiful autumn Sunday over here, the kind that feel simultaneously sad and hopeful. The end of one thing, but the start of something new...speaking of--have you checked out this compilation from @shiftctrlmusic.com? It's full of music that captures that same feeling!

I think people have a pretty rigid definition for "chili" and then they see this and are like "uh that's not chili..."
I think "Greek bolognese" is a more accurate descriptor.

Thank you so much for the shout out! Metroid didn't cross my mind when I was working on it, but it definitely found jts way into the album through my subconscious

This is really lovely* dark ambient. The Metroid and FTL vibes are strong with this one, strong recommend.

Get it!

*Lovely, expansive but also ominous and scary at many points. IT'S GREAT

Ahhhh! Tartarus is out in the world today! Drenched in spooky sci-fi atmosphere, it's the perfect way to kick off October. I recommend checking out the visualizers on YouTube, which provide more visual storytelling elements youtu.be/ijgn009cWuw?...
