Ridiculous Danny with commentary from a competent drummer.

I've seen Tool live a dozen times or so; my favorites are when Danny and a guest drummer are brought on stage and they "duel".

The power went out last night, pouring rain. It was so dark. I lit a candle and read my Kindle (Rainbows End) until I got sleepy. I fell asleep with my cat next to me.

I woke up to find a figure standing at the end of my bed with its back to me. It looked like a person in a wide brim hat.

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine.

The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

I've been playing FromSoft games since before Yahtzee panned the original Demons Souls, yet this is the first network test I've been invited to.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I adopted a 5 or 6 year old male feline. He's really big and really friendly!

After two days, he's showing me his belly and crawling into my lap. Lovable little guy.
