Have you picked a name for your sleep paralysis demon yet?

Happy Slay the Spire 2 day to all who celebrate. Remember, the claw is the law

I know there are bigger things happening today, but I just learned that Dan Simmons died.

If you enjoy sci-fi with really deep, introspective stories that will make you question your views on just about everything, you should absolutely read through the Hyperion cantos.

I've been slowly reading through these for the first time (because I am loving them and don't want them to be over). I'm just about done with the last one and this is sad. Such a great author.

My job is safe from the clankers for at least another day. Probably a whole bunch more.

Chicagoan here!

I'll go against the grain and say that Portillo's is mediocre. It's more a convenience than anything because there's a billion of them around. Give me a local one-off with good giardiniera all day long.

The less I want to see the kitchen, the better the beef will be

All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

Stranger Things has ruined my ability to use Maj7 bass arpeggios in music.

My favorite was the one where that guy (loosely remembered here) betrayed the big group and made off with like $50k and the developers were just like "hell yeah"

The amount of unhinged, easily verifiable lies about what happened today that I see being vomited out into the ether is insane. There's clear-as-day video from multiple angles! You can have thoughts and opinions on what happened, but you can't just make up what you want to have happened

It goes over my head most of the time, but I see lots of in-depth ratio and resolution discussions on the SQH discord. I'd bet if you popped on there and asked you would get some good answers

Monthly calendar for Metro Chicago from May 2005 with a ton of huge names. In one week alone they had System of a Down, Garbage, Coldplay, and Crystal Method play with Coldplay.

Saw this old calendar for Metro Chicago that had one of my bands (15 Minutes Late) on it from 2005 and holy shit, all of those acts in a single month at one club?!?

I like it when you do weird things, it always leads to fun things for me to play

Why is it so unsettling to see people smiling while playing saxophone?

If you were ever considering a watch of Babylon 5, the current state of the world is probably the perfect time for it, and you could learn a few things.

I stay away from posting about it these days because who cares what I think, but holy shit, they straight up murdered that person today. Absolutely sickening.

How long do we let this go on?

This may be because I'm not a power user or anything, but I've yet to come across anything in OpenOffice that MS Office (excuse me, MS 365 Copilot) does better.

Just throwing it out there if anyone's looking for a non-trash alternative (and it's free, of course)

This was an absolute joy to be involved with! Go check it out. My 2 favorites are his version of Thus Spake and the acapella version of Cluck Y'Egger (and let me tell you, you can't get any more diverse than that)

Oh man, I just got into some serious tinkering. It got deep enough that I was downloading save files from GameFAQs from 20 years ago. I love these nights
