Saturday Night Live is like ska. People always talk about how it sucks now but I've always liked it.

Thought I had another cookie left in the bag. Reached my hand into the bag. Crumbs.

General rule of thumb for DS9: the show is better the more hair Sisko has on his face and the less hair he has on his head.

Hey the band @timeshares.bsky.social do you have new music out today?

Me: I'm buying a hoodie
Wife: An Audi?
Me: A hoodie. Dillinger Four.
Wife: Isn't that just dudes?
Me: Yeah

I have been invited to AND GUEST LISTED for a "Blink 182 for kids" cover band that I will be bringing my kid to, this is true scene cred and success

This picture looks like they raptured a guy who loves IPAs but has gotten more into sours

An ad from Straight To Hell apparel, who make cool clothes and jackets for aging rockers like myself, that says "don't wait for permission" and it's got a whole outfit laid out including sunglasses and it looks kind of silly I guess.

Scrolling through my feed and seeing the top part of this video before the bottom part is such a good reveal

I also think it's good to do your own work. If I don't write my own emails or do my own data analysis I won't remember the work I did because I didn't spend any time with it.

The smartest thing I heard about AI this week is that this is a revolution in data, and all of the AI tools are novelty without well structured and accessible data. The Gen AI stuff is Generic AI.

Hey the band @timeshares.bsky.social do you have new music out today?

Craig Shay @craigshay.bsky.social · 5d

My buddy's theory is that they "ran out of AI"

My friend Austin Kopec's new single: very groovy, layered, cool keys in the intro, nuanced

My new single: wait what if high school permanently burned me out and what if work is a waste of time and what if I'm literally dying

Craig Shay @craigshay.bsky.social · 5d

I have a new song out today about how I know I'm not dying when I feel like I'm dying

I do actually try to check out new bands but I'm biased by bands in my scene and bands with members I've known forever. The smaller bands I've been pushing are Hell Beach and Sadlands.

Craig Shay @craigshay.bsky.social · 5d

I love when someone is stoked on a small band no one has ever heard of releasing new music. Just a "hell yeah dr beebo has new ep" and I know I won't check out dr beebo but I'm happy for everyone involved.

Are there other possibilities for inspiration? Playing an instrument, listening to music, a writing exercise where you can just write and it doesn't have to be good?

I'm on the verge of becoming even more annoying than usual
