It only took me 3 tries (and Google's help) to find the Mountain Goats song where John sings "Oh yeah, oh yeah," repeatedly as the chorus

And because it's tMG of course it works rather than being annoying

In 2026, where people of color and immigrants have been vilified, it felt good to see such a joyous celebration of a historically underappreciated culture. Good job Bad Bunny, and congratulations on winning super bowl LX

Second time in 3 days I’m posting this Vonnegut quote wrt AI.
“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes. “And he went wow. That’s amazing! And I said, ‘Oh no, but I’m not any good at any of them.’ “And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ‘I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.’ “And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘win’ at them.” -Kurt Vonnegut

The short answer, I'd imagine, is no; I'm more tapped into music, but despite tech companies pouring marketing and budgets into creating AI music, research (from Deezer, if I recall) is that 95% of listens of AI artists are coming from less than 1% of users. It is all self generated hype nonsense

I have a lot of questions about who is actually purchasing these hundreds of LLM-generated “novels”. Are they reading them? There’s already vastly more human-written novels published in a year than even the most avid reader could begin to scratch the surface of.

I'm not kidding when I say this should be illegal, even if it weren't also a transparent scam on this idiot's part.

I never realized how much screaming there was in curling, like it's a sport with what are essentially brooms you'd think that lead to a more chill athletic experience

Another thing I've been up to is this 12 for 12 challenge, from this post! playingthisweek.substack.com/p/12-for-12-...

I've already "finished" AoE (I am so bad, the game is hard, but I enjoyed it!) and am now juggling God of War (2018), Night in the Woods, and Wildfrost.
"12 for 12" challenge image, which states "12 months to play 12 games recommended by 12 friends". Shows poster images for the video games Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Gunpoint, Wildfrost, Gears of War 2, Okami HD, Aquaria, Sea of Stars, Concrete Jungle, Pathologic 2, Of the Devil, Night in the Woods, and God of War (2018).

Doing prep to (hopefully) have an ashcan for For the Badge

Surprising to no one, "cut to the bare minimum" is way more complicated and difficult than "delete text from your document" sounds

I have a "New Rotation" playlist that keeps track of what I'm still checking out and undecided on (here: New Rotation by CoMoo on Qobuz open.qobuz.com/playlist/389...) but thought I'd make a thread of my current earworm(s)

Lastly before get some sleep I thought I'd share my best of 2025 music! Every year I make a playlist ranking my favorite songs in order beginning with SotY; image shows AotY picks. I've been doing it for a decade, and it's always rewarding

Social media law requires pet pictures, so here's my cat Omelette, and my dog Weasel (yes she has a permanent underbite); they have completely opposite personalities and we love them so much
