I am an order of air-breathing arthropods that has eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk.
My daughter's school sent a message that buses are running late due to heavy traffic and said to "bare with us".
It's bear, not bare. Get it right, you're a school.

For a long time, I thought Peter Gabriel was singing "there's newsman in the rinse".

Me: "I'm not interested in hurting myself playing guitar."
Also me: [hurts thumb playing bass, continues to play guitar and bass with thumb]

Today's lesson: Beginner

The emphasis is on the syllable before the repeated letters, so it'd beGINner.

If you double the g instead, it would be pronounced BEGginer.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to let people attach music to their still photos on Instagram?

I've had a song playing in my head for several hours, but never listened to it or sang it out loud. Just refreshed YouTube on the laptop and it's recommending a different song by the Commodores. How did it know it was the Commodores playing in my head?

I remember one time I watched a 20-minute tutorial on how to play the drums in 50 ways and the guy was talking about how hard the cross-sticking was. Then I watched Steve Gadd play it and there was no cross-sticking at all.

So, uh... who else thinks he's going to decorate the new "ballroom" with real gold-plated testicles?

I can't even make it through playing on song on the acoustic guitar without intense pain in my right arm. It's actually been getting worse for the last several days. I get to see orthopedic doctor on Monday for the torn bicep.

You know somebody's fucked up when a comment thread about their death turns into a public conversation about the worst shit everyone ever saw on the internet.

@uspostal.bsky.social Why are the guitar string I ordered in Portland, OR? They shipped from New York and were supposed to come here to West Virginia. There's no reason for them to be in Portland, OR.

I'm exhausted.

I'd like to dedicate this song to our wonderful US President.

So they're posting on all the websites that it's "the radical left's" fault the government is shut down. Because the Democrats won't vote to cut off health care for the poor. Because the Republicans refused to negotiate. The President refused to meet with them. Refused to negotiate. Their fault.

52 is a depressing birthday.

Picture this:
Sean Ono Lennon, Zack Starkey, James McCartney, and Dhani Harrison are onstage together in The Cavern, playing I'm A Believer. Camera pans to the back-Yoko is watching, stone-faced. Paul looks angry, arms crossed and shaking his head slowly. Ringo. smiling broadly, claps along & dances

All the autistic people I know all had both parents ingesting dihydrogen monoxide multiple times every day. My daughter and I are both on the spectrum, and we sometimes ingest up to two liters of dihydrogen monoxide EVERY DAY. Coincidence? I think not.

I think I know what I want for my birthday.

I won't get either, but I still want them. :-)

There's a difference between Tucker and Roseanne getting fired because of public outcry and Kimmel getting fired because Trump told the FCC to threaten ABC's licences unless they fired Kimmel. If you don't know the difference, maybe you should learn.

It's weird when something pops up in my recommended videos and I'm in it. I miss that bass and playing with Sierra was a cool experience. Many pounds ago.

So I used to work in a call center and a guy who was being unpleasant gave me an email address at cox dot net. I had to stop myself from asking if that was spelled "c-o-x" but he may have become more unpleasant had he realized why I would ask that.

All I ever do on Facebook anymore is block people until I get tired and close it.
