I93 South into Boston, and over the Zakim Bridge. 58 sec video upload test for the #skylightapp beta ✌️

I miss checking in on my Facebook friends and family, but every time I go there to peek, I fucking regret it. I wish they’d all get off of it. The machine feeds on meme/comment behaviors and it’s gross and destructive.

In the 90s, many who embraced new music trends like grunge and alternative were compelled to shit on everything that came before it, especially progressive 70s and 80s music. That was a dumb stance, and didn’t stand over time. All those cool 90s bands turned out to be huge RUSH fans, anyway.

Am I doing this right? introduce yourself with one book 📚 one movie.🎥 one album 🎶 one tv show 📺

Watching the new Apple flick “The Gorge” with my Vakentine. It’s a little scary but I’m sure with all those Simmons Drums around the compound, everything will work out just swell. 🤘

#severence opening credits; where can I get me an Irving mug? And not that unlicensed crap on Redbubble, either. I want THAT one!

Still totally unnecessary. But a better idea.

“All a person can do in this life is gather about him his integrity, his imagination, and his individuality – and with these ever with him, out front and in sharp focus, leap into the dance of experience.” -Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Tom Robbins passed away today at 92.

#severance S2E4 is like a really excellent new game chapter of MYST.

Terms like Fascism, Authoritarianism, Nationalism, Oligarchy, and Autocracy hold zero historical context or urgency for millions of Americans. They literally don’t know what the words mean. At all. It’s just liberal static to them. To be ignored. We need new and more urgent words.

The mindfulness of snow management. Where is your mind now?

I recently re-read The Talisman and Black House. I haven’t read The Tommyknockers since it was published in ‘87. I had completely forgotten there’s a scene with a hungover Gard and a kid named Jack, right on Arcadia Beach, right next to the Alhambra 🤯 #StephenKing

Lately I’ve been listening to Music for Airports by Brian Eno every day while I write weird fiction in a flagrant display of noping the fuck out of reality. Can’t recommend this strategy enough.

I grew up with long-haired dudes playing these songs in my garage. My dad’s bands played many cool gigs in Central PA. For me, this is the hopeful sound of a more hopeful, kinder time. youtu.be/LXNjzYsfErA?...

Everything everywhere is pretty much horrible, except for the new Fantastic Four trailer, which truly looks FANTASTIC! #fantasticfour youtu.be/AzMo-FgRp64?...

That scene at the end of Stranger Things 4 where Lucas is reading The Talisman to Max. Fucking perfection. #stephenking

I can’t be the only one who was getting Bill Bixby 1977 vibes from #Severance S2E3.

Canada gave me RUSH and there are few things in life that I’m more grateful for. 🍁 ✌️❤️🎶 medium.com/@jmillerbost...

New-to-me word: Hypernormalisation. Coined by Alexei Yurchak in ‘06, describes how “everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine an alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.”

Re: Severance S2E3. Thought for sure that was gonna be a Malkovich door!

Remember how Sesame Street made it normal to just be cool with each other and happy to be neighbors with all kinds of people? That was better. youtu.be/jfQSp92L88I?...

Remember how hard Cult of Personality hit? Living Color came out of nowhere and destroyed. Right now, could use some more moments like this. youtu.be/EeCQq3ot_Qo?...

Me after discovering that @chris--farrell.bsky.social , @realityv.bsky.social , and @consumerofworlds.bsky.social are all on BlueSky now.

Since diverting my attention away from Meta properties and toward BlueSky and Substack (where, as Burk points out, I have less of the support network that I know and love), it’s been easier for me to recognize what I want and need from social media. Good read. open.substack.com/pub/illanabu...

It’s great that BlueSky has announced it has 30M users. Congratulations @bsky.app All I’m saying is, it’d be cooler if David Lee Roth was one of them.

I know very little about lap steel guitar, but I love how it’s forcing me to slow down and use my ears. I’ve had all of ten minutes to noodle on this but looking forward to more!
