I’m like if “dourness” were a person. Opinions are mine. He/him/his.

FRIEND: Keith seems like he would bite a vampire and become one instead of getting bitten BY a vampire.
ME: Yeah, that’s true. That’s definitely how it would’ve happened if it did happen.

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.
👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027.
Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.

I know I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: I’m so incredibly glad I found the band Ghost.
The music is amazing, the fandom has been the least toxic I’ve seen outside of Dimension 20, and it’s helped me form a closer bond to someone I care for quite dearly.

This applies to TTRPGs as well, but I absolutely refuse to put children, the elderly, animals, or people don’t know what they’re doing in danger.
I also can’t do “evil” runs through games.

FRIEND: If you were a vampire would you bite any of your friends?
ME: Nah.
FRIEND: No? Really?
ME: Ok maybe one or two, but ONLY if they gave ENTHUSIASTIC consent. I’m not doing that coy or manipulative shit. You need to tell me you want to be bitten directly and clearly.
FRIEND: Oh of course.

I used to post to a message board that spun off of Penny Arcade’s called Torch the Bridge.
I posted so much, in fact, that for a while I had a weekly “radio show” on their ShoutCast server. I played new wave and metal for two hours.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

My town was too small for a Blockbuster, which is ironic because we had seven different mom-n-pops shops.
My favorite had a massive video game section. It was next to a big ABC liquor store and a Food Lion, so we’d go on Friday or Saturday nights before people came over and everyone got drunk.

I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.
Here are some things that happened while I was there.

On the one hand this is the absolute dumbest version of The Terminator, and on the other this dog shit idea is going to get so many people killed and leak so much classified data.

Hey folks, I’ll be in LA for a couple days/nights at the end of February (right before my birthday). The last time I was in town for personal stuff, I discovered an amazing bar called The Lash that has since closed.
Are there any other goth-adjacent places I could check out while there?

I’m not a big travel guy, for two reasons:
1. Managing my anxiety and having my routine disrupted just to get on a plane sucks real bad, and
2. It’s prohibitively expensive if you aren’t at a certain income level.
That said: traveling to multiple states on the east coast is much easier.

I got a haircut this evening. After 18 months I genuinely feel weird having shorter hair, and I also genuinely forgot how wavy it is if I don’t dry it (I brushed it back as usual after showering).
My b white hair stands out a lot more in person now.
