Sharing a playlist I made in Bandcamp, featuring all (or most) of my instrumental recordings. These are dedicated originals, improvisations, and songs lacking vocal tracks.
Again, low fidelity, originally recorded to cassette tape. Listen free, I think.

Sports are the best form of entertainment because you can invest 2.5 hours into something only to lose. They should make a movie that you can lose.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years.
5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions.
19 states banned legal recognition
21 states have bathroom bans
8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs
25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Video: Bennie plays with her food. I got her some of the “human grade” dog food they sell at the store and she’s suspicious of it. In the video, she is sitting on her pillow and taking quick stabs at the piece of chicken with her paws or her mouth, but she’s not eating it (yet).

The Democrats should be writing up impeachment charges against Trump for violating the federal laws against vote buying, and announcing they will bring the charges if they regain the house and senate.

We’re one poorly worded query away from an AI taking out a power grid somewhere, maybe even holding it for ransom.
So they realized they're in the gutter, no revenue in sight, operating at a tremendous loss, and suddenly decided to slow down "to save the humanity."
“.. It was a rare display of unity by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, who have been spending tens of billions of dollars to develop evermore powerful artificial intelligence models.”

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I remember when gas first breached the $1 level and all the gas pumps were suddenly obsolete because they couldn’t dispense at a rate higher than 99.9 cents. That was circa 1976 or so.
MAXXED OUT at $9.999!! GasBuddy data showing 5 stations in California that have hit the limit and are selling diesel at the dispensers highest possible price: $9.999/gal

Clinton should have been impeached and convicted for lying, no matter how trivial.
What was the most disastrous decision from the most recent presidents that had effects we feel today?
Clinton: Lying under oath and getting away with it (paved way for Trump)
Bush: Iraq
Obama: Syria and Libya
Trump I: Covid and pulling out of JCPOA
Biden: Running again
Trump II: Iran

And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

We’ve officially reached the future if TVs are really listening to us (and even watching). We’ve been saying this for sixty years and it’s finally true (and has been for a while I bet). Next come the flying cars.
It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month.
It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.
