I saw a stick this morning that for a split second made me believe I could be a wizard

You can promise according when you have no integrity

It’s foolish to make bold claims about the SSA database based on someone’s unverified claims. That goes both ways.

Still discovering “new” favorite effect pedals that have been really available for 30+ years.

AI without Understanding is just Idea Karaoke

I don’t know how this is comfortable, but it’s the mark of peak relaxation for our boy

Gave up trying to find a new game. Decided to go back to my roots for a bit. #metalgearsolid #mgs2

As the prophecy foretold. @tassja.bsky.social @theophite.bsky.social

her: I'm coming over, you better not be reticulating splines me:

I like playing alternative rock with my friends because it's the opposite of being on the computer

Trump's ethnic cleansing plan in Gaza raises questions.

Severance and Paradise keeping me entertained while we wait for new seasons of Taskmaster. I am mostly satiated.

Think I’m done with Death Stranding for a while. Looking for another low-impact self-paced exploring-driven game. If I could wipe my memory and play Hitman again, I would.

Susan Collins: these cuts are going to do terrible things for science in America RFK Jr eating a live panda: no they won’t Susan Collins: alright sounds good

More and more, “inherent” just feels like shorthand for “thing I can’t back up, but feel very strongly about”

Incredibly glad that my more casual videos about inexpensive overlooked/disregarded pieces of gear are doing so well. I buy new from my favorite innovative builders whenever possible, but I've always wanted people to appreciate what's available at all ages and prices.

Feels like half the Super Bowl commercials were “This thing isn’t trivially easy. You should use our AI for it instead”

From a trip to “the tallest waterfall on the planet” #Severance

Bringing my highly professional mug into the office today

Time for an important Black Guitar Strap Update. I ended up pulling this red Couch strap off the P-bass and slapping it onto this snazzy 1997 Ibanez Talman. #ibanez #talman #guitar

I feel like Beyonce has a ska record in her

I do not want reboots or sequels to shows that ended 20 years ago I want new things

When you’re being mean to me, just know this is who you are being mean to

I definitely took a hit this last year, which I planned on, to focus on a new job role. Gonna try to ramp up video output quality and quantity starting this week, though.

Had a very detailed dream about pre-macOS X gaming, and now I kinda want to go down that rabbit hole. GliderPro was the best.

Made a quick trip to Lumon HQ #severance

This goes hard

Stopped by Great Doors last night. #severance

I’ve never had a black guitar before and I can’t figure out what color strap to get for it. These are the world’s problems I choose to focus on.

The same companies that rolled back DEI so fast, I don't want to see shit from y'all when it's time for black history month, Juneteenth or Pride. Keep that same energy when your revenues, stocks, investments goes down and do damage control cause it's not gonna work

I’ll always support today’s creative pedal builders, but I’ll also always be out there trying to find the undiscovered gems before they’re gone forever. This Ibanez RC99 Rotary Chorus does some pretty unique things, plus it’s got a delay time knob!

Yeah, just put that thing anywhere (there was no placard)
