we're turning your bedroom back into the computer room [repeat line] and it makes good sense, it's the only way you can sleep out on the couch til' you find a place or maybe you can live at my sister's house she always liked you better anyway~! [repeat chorus] www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Hl...

New barber gave me the Bert 😡

“Hip-hop is alive and vital in Appalachia, a fact known to relatively few within—and fewer outside—this misunderstood region.” juneappalrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/no-opt...

I'm just learning about Skryptonite (Скриптонит), a hugely successful rapper from Kazakhstan. Apparently he's one of the most popular musical artists in the Eastern Bloc, and I can see why. For one, the dude's got range. Here's some bumpin' and incisive gangster rap www.youtube.com/watch?v=79PM...

Somehow, every once in a while, this song still pops into my head out of nowhere, after 18 years youtu.be/AOzkN8dHnjk

We're halfway through the 20s; I say it's high time we bring back hot jazz www.youtube.com/watch?v=90z3...

How many browser tabs do you currently have open in your brain?

Just checked the calendar… looks like Cinco de Mayo falls on May 5th this year

You can support my friend and NorCal wrestling institution Sir Samurai at this link here. He wrestled literally until he died and was brought back by his tag partner Eliza Hammer. ❤️

“Brain rot” has that punchy Anglo-Saxon quality to it… but I have to hand it to the Romance languages, “cerebral putrefaction” has a nice spicy kick

I'm practicing for some upcoming technical interviews, so if you've ever wanted to watch me solve Leetcode problems, feel free to come put the pressure on me. (We might also play some Nubby's Number Factory, courtesy of @tsjonte.bsky.social) www.twitch.tv/wasabimilksh...

Good to see that tasteless commemorative plate cash-ins are nothing new

My favorite Spanglish word is "fuqueado," as in "es un país muy fuqueado, pero es mi patria ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I dreamed of a Catholic Eucharist where the hosts were replaced by Tupperware containers filled with big juicy cheeseburgers. Rather than the typical “the body of Christ,” the priest instructed the Eucharistic ministers to say “the sweet cheesy goodness of Christ” when presenting them to congregants

I Googled a poem, and several of the top results include AI-generated essays alongside the text of the poem. Some sites label them as such; some try to disguise them as written by human editors (dead giveaway: they’re complete drivel and they quote entirely hallucinated lines). Fuck this trend.

Scrolling through the front page of LinkedIn: depressing as fuck Scrolling through the trending page of YouTube: depressing as fuck Scrolling through the new Twitch mobile feed: depressing as fuck Maybe technology platforms have been co-opted by people who don’t have our best interests at heart

I found a tape of myself reciting a Shel Silverstein poem when I was in elementary school - I always hated how my voice sounded. Here's a comparison, mostly for the benefit of my younger self. Elocution has been a lifelong project for me, but I think I have puberty to thank for a few things too.

When I was just about year old, my parents bought a brand new 1990 Chrysler Town & Country Minivan. It had burgundy upholstery and a cassette deck. This tape was included with the vehicle to explain and demonstrate its state-of-the-art sound system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bZx...

It’s much easier to keep up a fast walking pace when you’ve got Kenny Loggins blasting in your ears

This is an independently-produced album of ballads and easy-listening instrumentals from 1991, by a guy named George Toman from Maryland. My mom owned this tape; I have no idea where it came from beyond that. These songs don't seem to exist online anywhere else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-g...
