hmmmm, maybe it's your conscience suggesting you clean up your act!!!

Flashing back to basements and practice spaces of yore and I can absolutely smell this post

Dude I'll give you a hundred bucks and I'll take you out to Benihana's if you slide that 75 foot handrail

Bilt x Chase Bliss collaborative "Habit" guitar, with a ton of additional knobs and dipswitches mounted to the pickguard in lieu of a pedal enclosure

update: yep sure enough, the dipswitches are present!

P.S. One day I swear I will call the Hog Line

I entered a raffle for a different Bilt/CB collab -- the Habit guitar -- but I don't remember if it had all the dipswitches or not off the top of my head. (Didn't win, obv, but it was for a great cause as a fundraiser for Friends)

Holy shit the dipswitches

Album cover for The Chicks (fka Dixie Chicks) "Home"

Saw this photo and initially had the intrusive thought "is this what a The Chicks reboot would look like"

"No worries, guys -- I don't plan on taking any left turns so I think we should be good to go."

A selfie of me rocking a thousand-yard stare and a beanie with a built-in LED so I can read in the dark

(But for real though fuck this little house on the prairie ass bullshit lol)

Cozy and weathering a power outage!

Thanks for keeping us updated! Power is out here in Cranston (at least on my street) and the road isn’t plowed yet — I assume the former won’t be addressed until the latter has happened, so it’s good to get a sense of estimated timelines.

Oh man the last thing I saw her in was The Last of Us... as a therapist 😭

Real dudes rock moment right there 😂

Goes without saying but you 100% do not deserve to be doxxed, and I'm sorry you have to deal with the fallout. (I'm behind on my podcast listening but also I recently checked out the @pastduepodcast.com episode you appeared on, and it was really informative and illuminating.)

Probably wise, though thanks for responding. I'm mostly shouting into the wind here -- just feel kinda stupid having contributing to something that was supposed to be some sort of safety net, provided to me through various employers over the years, only to have to worry that it'll evaporate. Ugh.

Maybe a dumb question, but... at what point do I, a dummy who isn't an AI booster, nor someone who actively engages with the stock market -- start thinking about purging my modest retirement account, even if I'm penalized for doing so?

Feels fucking bad man. We shouldn't have to worry about this.

I believe the person photographed on the bottom is the RI ice rink shooter who shot multiple family members and then themselves — horrible situation all around, it’s a local story here

Gonna try to turn lemons into lemonade here and declare it’s Movie Week™ 🎥🍿🎬

What do you mean TREE isn't playing?! I'm staying home. 😤

“What’s the soup du jour?”
“It’s the soup of the day.”
“Mmmmmm — that sounds good. I’ll have that.”

Everything feels bad already, I don’t need more people positing things like “but what if you’re wrong about ____?” at all times 🙃

Ed Zitron has his critics but it was good to see him jump in this thread & push back on this. Call me a doomer but it really feels like the economy (both including and outside of AI) continues to go full grifter mode

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Sometimes you just gotta scratch that itch.

The rest of the nation needs to know about the joys of high-floor/low-ceiling Greek pizza (and you get bonus points for picking up the most overly sweet slice of baklava you've ever had as a treat)
