Oh man, thanks! I just spent an hour reading his bluesky. Still funny as shit.

Brunching Shuttlecocks. Fucking hilarious comedy site with daily posts. Can’t find any remnants of it out there.

Any good tutorials? I want to get into it but all the features can be a bit daunting.

Velvet Underground’s last album Sqeeze is basically a Doug Yule solo album and made without any original members. Yule joined the band about halfway through its existence. For that reason many don’t consider it part of the band’s catalog. Personally, I think the album gets unfairly judged. It’s pretty good, just not on par with Lou Reed’s work, but what is?

How do you survive hitting a moose? I feel like that’s equivalent to hitting a brick wall.

I would assume. That’s where I am.

My city sits on a filled in swamp.

I had never heard of CED and researching it led me to the knowledge that laserdisc was originally called Discovision.

Brb. Recording all my records into my vcr.

I poured spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.

The same might be true of Buddy Holly. The Crickets had only released a handful of singles and already fallen off the charts before Holly died. If it wasn’t for the massive amount of material they recorded that could be released posthumously they might have just been a footnote.

Mardi Gras season officially begins January 6. Often referred to as twelfth night (of Christmas but we only do Christmas on the 25th), it is the eve of The Epiphany. We celebrate with a walking parade in honor of Joan of Arc.

From there there’s countless celebrations, parades, balls, etc leading up to Fat Tuesday which this year falls on February 17.

So yeah, this is accurate. For us the holiday season doesn’t end until lent.

Edit: that isn’t to say we don’t celebrate New Year’s but everybody is already getting ready for their Mardi Gras activities.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I didn’t realize that was the reason. I thought it was something stupid like the bean thing, a holdover from Reddit. I shall start upvoting corn memes because I too am sick of political posts.

Somebody jumped in front of the train. I only caught it out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was a suitcase at first. I couldn’t fathom that it could be a person. I actually got on the train but when it didn’t move it dawned on me what had happened and then someone else confirmed it. Everyone just stared at each other in disbelief and then we all silently excited and went on about our way. Fuck, I completely forgot about that.

Weirdly, when I finally got to my destination there was a nun on a stretcher being rolled out of the building by EMTs. Strange day.

How secure is something like Orbot? I like the idea of connecting to Tor while still using my preferred browser.

Like I said, appropriate situations.

It didn’t matter what I going off to do, my mom would always say “have fun.” I always remember that because it’s good advice. Try to enter every appropriate situation with the intention of enjoying yourself.
