Sending wishes for a speedy recovery to Dolly Parton. If she dies during this administration and does not lay in state in the US Capitol, as any American saint should, may the giants slumbering beneath the Appalachians rise up with force and level the Washington monument with a blow.

I'm releasing a new EP today! This one is more pretty guitar sounds than feedback loops; some noise, but there are several guitar solos (one played through a Kay-Bee Toys amp I've been hauling around for years) and two actual songs. apophra.bandcamp.com/album/the-ap...

A guy in Michigan got a fluke preorder and put it up for sale on Facebook for $25. A nearby Swiftie bought it but didn't own a CD player, so she got one from Walmart, then realized you can't burn files to a computer this way so is just playing them in a Discord voice channel for thousands of people

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.
