Years ago, I met an (now retired) audio editor of Amadeus!

It was at work. My rookie was happy to sell him a mobile. I was honored to meet him. He was delighted that I approached his level of music nerdery. My rookie... wished him luck on his music career.

(Jesus Christ, I wish I slapped him.)
I've just followed her on YouTube. You should too.

Her entire channel is insane and brilliant. I'm not nearly as passionate about food as she is, so for me, it feels at times like she's speaking a language I only barely understand.

...but I wish I understood better.
Sometimes, the YouTube algo gets it right.

I love music. I love it when genres crash into each other and create something new. Boundaries, shmoundaries, let's mix shit up and see if it works!

This person is into food, where I'm into music... but I still feel like I understand her.

The latest release by @anabstractillusion.bsky.social is absolutely metal... and every bit as gorgeous (despite being metal) as I'd hoped it would be. It kinda outran my hopes, actually. Give it a listen! It's fantastic!
So apparently, Dunkin' Donuts is putting out a sludgy brown foodstuff named after Ice Spice.

I absolutely refuse to joke about this, but the jokes write themselves, and they're kinda gross.
I don't know exactly what to call this hellnoise, but I like it. I think. I'm still not sure if I like it. But some of you definitely will!

I miss the days when republicans at least PRETENDED to be adults. Granted, they've been dull and cruel children for at least as long as I've been alive and paying attention, but they at least PRETENDED to be adults.
Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America
For whole minutes at a time?

Impossible! I don't know how people do it!
I'm too vain to eat donuts regularly, but once in a while, am apple fritter.
Very cool!

(I don't have any ink, myself. I'm told you have to sit still for entire minutes at a time to get good ink, and I'm pretty sure I'm not capable.)

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
I didn't, but only because I already use several block lists that have now included them. (In fact, I took that screenshot from clearsky, because I couldn't see it on bluesky.)
If you're trying to be "neutral" in these times?

I'm sorry.

I have trans friends. They'll be in the first cattle car.

I love four Mexicans very dearly. They'll be in the second.

I'm a Jewish bisexual. I'll be in the third.

There's a poem about this. You know how it ends, right?

...right?
Oh, fuck me, these assholes are here now.

Be safe, if you can. Block these assholes, if your blocklists haven't already. (Mine did.)

If you are trying to report on these assholes? You can't be safe, I am bitterly sorry for this, and I wish it were not so.

So, be careful, and be clever.
Do you not know that trick?

Cold pizza is acceptable.

Microwaved pizza is acceptable.

Leftover pizza, heated with respect and kindness?
BEST WAY to reheat pizza? 😳 #shorts

...also also?

Being a horny guy in your twenties (without being a creep) is like playing Checkers. Being a horny guy in middle age (without being a creep) is like playing Chess. If I make it to sixty, I worry that I'll need to take up Fairy Chess, or Go.
...also?

Even if I didn't think you were all a bunch of dipshits, I wouldn't have time for your bullshit. I'm too busy trying to maintain a social life and professional life, and to keep my hair... while balancing all that with the constant demands from my cock. You absolute posers.
Dear "Alpha Males,"

Bitch, please. I actually HAVE high-T (over 1000 ng/dL), and you don't see me being a dull-witted aggressive keyboard warrior online as if it proves how masculine I am. In fact, you all trying to prove yourselves like that is weak as hell.
That one music video by The Down Troddence has a similar scene, for similar reasons.

(Maybe don't watch this at work, it's kinda gory. Fantastic, but gory.)

If you like DSO¹ and sometimes find yourself thinking, "this is good but what if it were even crazier," give this a listen!

1. There are two bands called DSO. I'm speaking of the good one here.
There's a whole entire side we never see, we could put her there.
