e.s.c.

I was invited to Buddy Guy's house for Thanksgiving when I was 19 (didn't go, thanks social anxiety disorder)

did anyone recommend fettuccini?

stay warm & safe, NYC friends. use the blizzard as an excuse to lay around your home in pajamas drinking tea, hot cocoa, or booze while eating delicious foods & smothering your pets w/ attention, if possible. rewatch your comfort shows/movies & listen to/make some awesome music

also got a shot of Herbie, the rabbit, & 4 of the squirrels

i love watching the animals try food they haven't had before. the sweetest of the chipmunks decided she needed to try one of the rabbit's red grapes this morning despite a light snowfall

i startled it when i opened the screen door, but i'm super happy to say i had my first chipmunk sighting of 2026. looked like he was doing well, i just surprised the tiny guy 🙂

Nvidia already has been working on cloud gaming for years with Geforce Now. seems like our best hope is for the AI bubble to pop before things get too much worse

i've been watching my brother's cats the last two days, now we're winding down for the night with an episode of The Past Times w/ Dave Anthony & @reynoldsgareth.bsky.social . hope they're not waiting for a Jose appearance or i'll never get them to sleep

good news everyone! French authorities just raided Musk's Paris offices for his shitty social media site

the whole "degrees of separation" stuff gets fucking wild these days. didn't think i'd end up only one or two steps removed from major political figures & predatory billionaires but then it turns out that moot met with Epstein?

goddamn, Aronofsky really's speed running the end of his career i guess

hate these times when i'm in too much pain to sleep. ortho in 7 hrs though so guess i just have to take extra pain meds & hope they help. i guess at least it's good that it's my hips, that's what i'm having checked out this time. neck is bad too, there's no even remotely comfortable position rn

i'm way happier about a digital Pokémon card than i should be, but it's fucking breakcore Guzzlord. that's sick

both ICE agents are already out of Minnesota

i'm sorry, but how is any polycule supposed to organize chores & date nights without spreadsheets?

just make sure you give them shotguns, most kids' aim sucks at that age

are there at least cat & dog photos?

all the thunder gods are pitching in. fuck, think Pikachu may have gotten in on it too

one hilarious thing that's been happening the last year or so is that two of my facebook artist pages have become favorites of what appears to be a small bot farm. even funnier that one is for the project that i never released the album for, which has 4x as many followers as the e.s.c. page lol

i've seen all of the "big 4" thrash bands live. live ranking: Anthrax > Slayer > Metallica > Megadeth

sorry for the shortage of squirrel photos lately. they're fine but it's extremely cold out (-4⁰ F right now) & my joints are extra achey so i haven't been taking pics or videos (wish i had video of the squirrel that was burying the grapes in the snow)

i've had a Fiio M3K for years, the sound quality is amazing. works great as a laptop DAC too for when you're at home, i keep mine hooked up to my receiver (or my monitors when working on mixing/mastering)

Fiio devices are great, this one can handle 2TB microSD cards www.fiio.com/m5

nice! sounds delicious, i might check for one at Woodman's this week. i need a wider variety of convenience foods, i've been eating too much almond butter, fake chicken, & pizza lately

i miss the one i put together for a noise-punk band i was in ~25 years ago. all junk parts besides the seymour duncan mini-humbucker. used pages from a Daredevil comic (from the Fall From Grace storyline, poss issue 321) all over the body. defretted it too. sounded harsh in all the right ways

i'd eat one w/ chicken corn dogs & the right mix of veggies and lettuces. ranch dressing is the easy option but a good vinegar & olive oil could be nice too

but who is the lucky (non-extradition) country?

it feels weird, but i'm waiting until you're done so i can do the rewatch i do every few years again before listening to the podcast with it all fresh in my memory

yes, i'm saving your podcast to binge-listen :)

still a much better deal than that $70 7" and not just per sq inch of material, also total track length

- kidding, it's also more enjoyable music to my brain

@likeluke.bsky.social saw this at the store the other week for $100 😱
