In case you need another example of my random jumps in music taste, I just chased the Sabrina Carpenter album with the latest from Kayo Dot.

Some day in the not so distant future, assuming we survive the current regime, we’re going to look back on sports betting the same way we do the opioid crisis and the 2008 market bubble as a preventable catastrophe that sacrificed a lot of people’s financial lives for the enrichment of a select few.

Legitimately great news. Now can we have one to block the Texas National Guard being sent to Chicago?

He didn’t get the reaction he wanted in L.A. and he didn’t get the reaction he wanted in Chicago, so now he’s moving on to Portland. It’s all so transparently stupid. But sending good thoughts to my Portland people out there.

I’ve worked with these in my job. Follow up troubleshooting with Mitsubishi is really hit or miss, heard good things about Daikin but haven’t worked with them directly. If LG is an option I’ve experienced good service from their techs.

Switching to the stream of the Goose show I should have been at tonight was a significant improvement over that Illinois game. 🤮

Incredible how quiet things got when the shooter turned out to be a terminally online right winger. Good news is the civil war is postponed.

Apparently it’s Steven Wilson! He can definitely work wonders.

Interesting to note those who have been silent after every school shooting and the killings of the Minnesota politicians suddenly “heartbroken” about Kirk’s shooting. You are showing your whole ass and we will remember.

Yeahhhhh that’s a nice fantasy but I can confirm that there’s a significant overlap between CPD and Trump voters. Glad to see so many other folks stepping up already against this fascist bullshit though.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed.

There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea.

Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Oh wow, RIP to Brent Hinds of Mastodon. A troubled guy, but an absolute monster guitarist. His work with Mastodon was incredible and this is not the ending his story deserved.

I’ve found a little goes a long way, the first one you play sounds amazing, the second is pretty good and by the third I’ve had my fill. Kinda metal fast food for me tbh.

I saw that tour, Marilyn Manson was actively terrible. Even people I knew who were fans of his at the time thought it was a train wreck. NIN was sublime though, an excellent performance.

But special shout out to my cousin Rich, who always had tapes in his car in the few times I rode with him. I think he “primed the pump” so to speak, so I was ready with open ears when the Dead hit me.

jonpl23.bsky.social @jonpl23.bsky.social · Aug 10

So I naturally rebelled against them when I got into Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Fugazi and punk. Still thought I hated them. Thankfully I had a country loving roommate that turned me onto some of the original they covered as a sly way to get me on the bus.

True story. The first time I ever heard the Dead I HATED it. I won a drawing in sixth grade and got to pick a cassette out of a box. I pulled American Beauty cuz I’d seen the logo and thought they were kinda metal. Not my thing at all.
