I am a human. I believe that there are more dogs than wolves because kindness and cooperation are evolutionary traits that provide the greatest opportunity for species success. Working together multiplies muscle mass and problem solving.

"Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Discuss.

The development of AI occuring in the same relative window of time as a cruel, greedy, vulgar, selfish, racist, sexist, ignorant incompetent leader demanding an incomprehensible amount of media attention means that AI might conclude that all humans are absolutely dumb as shit. So, that tracks.

Ever have an entire lifetime where it feels like you are careening between boredom and feeling completely overwhelmed with no middle ground, or is it just me?

Not trying to brag, but today I learned that a DJ in Costa Rica was playing our music at a party because Spotify suggested it to them. Our singer happened to be at the party and heard their own voice. It's part of the DJs regular rotation. So, you know, I'm sort of a big deal. 😎

Downloading the new update to BG3. Guess I'll see you all in a couple months.

Video of my (sloppy) rendition of a guitar solo for a new Razing Arcane track I shot on my phone. There does not seem to be any audio, so let's assume it sounds fabulous.

56 years old yesterday. Not bad. Indiana Jones was right, it's not the years, it's the mileage.

I needed this today

Sigh. It's true. Especially the third one. I never expected the egregious stupidity of it all. But here we are.

I'm currently meditating over the value of keeping silence until intention meets an opportunity for action.

Doing my Duo LIngo lesson so I can help the Canadian resistance. "Mon Dieu! My Zamboni has been stolen by beavers!"

A stranger in an elevator told me I look like a character from Highlander this morning. Not sure if he meant McCloud or the Kurgan. So, people of the internet, Kurgan or Highlander?

I once saw a toddler hit himself in the groin with a laddle. What I saw in the Oval Office yesterday was dumber, more cringe inducing, and the resulting pain is going to go on much, much longer.

Chatting with a friend about the news I said: "It's like the Apocalypse, but being perpetrated by tedious boors." Yeah. Being hateful and shitty isn't really a personality. It just passed for one in certain circles.

I am developing the discipline to avoid news and social media first thing in the morning. Until recently I would make coffee, meditate and if there was time, I'd play a video game. Lately I've replaced video game time with recording guitar parts and mixing music for a new batch of songs. #sanehack

I usually discover cool things about 5 years after everyone else. So forgive me if you've seen this, but this comic strip is absolutely delightful and everything about it makes me smile. If you're like me, and haven't seen it yet ... You're welcome.

I can tell I am annoyed when I feel like making more puppet videos. Because "owning the libs" as a political ideology has all the gravitas of a toddler screaming they want to go to the drive thru. Grow up. youtu.be/aAU67TPD31Y?...

This is your reminder - It is perfectly acceptable to set up a bouncy castle in your back yard and play in it. Even if you can order off the Seniors menu. Really. You can take a break from the Apocalypse for a few minutes and be frivolous. It's why we persevere in the first place.

Good morning friends, I'd like to suggest that you do something you love today, something that brings you joy, even for a little while. That's where we find resilience. Sorry shit is hard. It may not get easier, so we have to get better at living. We got this.

This. A thousand times this.

Hi friends from Canada / Mexico: I’m so sorry our President is being a shit. I know what you have to do is going to suck for our country, but your actions are economic self-defense, and you have to stand up to bullies.
