Planning my next vacation at almost all times. Into games, grills, and all that other cliché stuff elder millennials like to do.

Ok I failed the games one but this one Im going to nail. I love this idea.

No order, just whatever's in my head, and I will absolutely be using this to post videos of live songs I was in the crowd for when I can. Thread starts here!
A great follow up to #365games that I'm gonna try for 2026. Get to know my music taste in #365songs. No particular order, just a bunch of songs I could listen to pretty much endlessly.

Mega daily 🧵
Get to know my music taste in 365 songs!

Inspired by @kyleor.land's #365games thread, I'm going to post every day about a song that is meaningful to me. These aren't necessarily the "best" songs, but they're all songs that left an impression in some way, with a loose theme each week.

Again, we just gotta say it: these people are evil. Theyre evil people that delight in doing evil things.

The best clue someone has no idea how TV production works and they are just trying to feel important is when they point out a misspelling on the teleprompter.

We have cancelled ALL Hilton hotel reservations on our Michael Shannon/Jason Narducy & Friends US tour. We do not support masked unidentified violent thugs terrorizing American communities and the corporations that support them.

I truly *do not care* how much genAI makes your job easier. It will make everyone outside the uber wealthy's life worse in untold number of ways if we allow it to spread unfettered

It is very hard to judge a city by its airport alone but Denver kinda rocks.

ICE doesn’t just need to be abolished. It’s leadership and it’s rank and file need to be held accountable for crimes against humanity and wonton murder

I have ended every online interaction with Universal for the past 2 years with "and please leave Twitter and join other social media networks! I don't feel like you should want to be associated with things there."

A huge bummer they still just...dont care?

The drunkenness has absolutely impeded the tribute to Brian...

I will end tonight giant rambling about our late drummer Brian Bosco by posting the song we wrote - ABOUT HIM

A song about a super popular ska artist?

Its Brian.

We love you, Bosco.

God I was in a really great band and I squandered all of it

Tonight I played songs we played together 20 years ago. I cried and I thought about how next time around ill do things differently. Ill listen when you reach out and ill answer the phone when you call.

We will play again someday.

We will talk again, and laugh again.

Thank you, friend.

I am a fucking mess tonight. I think this is a midlife crisis.

(86 is a nice long life right? Absolutely mid-life.)

“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose.

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.
A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

Walls are up around the entrance of Jurassic Park River Adventure, advertising its refurbishment and planned late 2026 reopening. The splashdown area is still viewable, showing the now-drained lagoon. #UniversalOrlando
