Musicians, stop using AI for your album art. I would legitimately rather you just make your art a selfie of you on the bus than see even more slop

I hereby retract this low-effort two-image joke I made last summer. Apparently the setup gave genAI too much credit even a year later.

Every time I have to do something that could be described as “herding cats” I just think you know what, I actually would rather just herd cats, I would get equally as little done but at least I would be surrounded by cats

This is one beautifully stated reason why I always say: there’s no wrong way to listen to music and what you hear in it is never wrong.
beautiful thing about music is that the aspects of it that change your life only happen in your head. what you choose to take away from it fits differently in your world than anyone elses. nobody will ever hear the music you hear the exact way you hear it. otherwise it's just fancy air

rare toxic behavior I exhibit in magic the gathering happens when people spend all game bluffing counterspells I don't care about. it's hitting them with a save-or-suck cyc rift when they're mostly tapped out, and casually leaving just the scary amount of blue sources open when I ask "response?"

A clip from that time They Might Be Giants performed “Birdhouse in Your Soul” on the Tonight Show with Doc & the band is going around the other place & made me realize I somehow missed this performance back then. It is amazing.
