Good grief @marathonthegame.bungie.net please release this soundtrack on Vinyl (thinking deluxe ed. jacket + some funky green / pink record would be *cool*!) and give us a FLAC/ALAC purchasable option. You all and Ryan Lott have knocked it out of the park.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy Congress. Right about yesterday wouldโ€™ve been a good day to do your job and stop Donnie from trying to start WWIII.

But todayโ€™s another day. Itโ€™s not too late. Do your job.

Oh and hey, pro tip - the missing pages to the Epstein Files arenโ€™t in Iran.

The Stranger Things finale was beautiful. Perfect. Thank you Duffer Brothers, cast, and crew. It hit personal, was so well written, shot, lighted, edited, produced.

No luck in the lottery. Showed up early for the general sale. 2,027 people in front of me and yet, it was sold out when it was my turn. Now theyโ€™re on StubHub for the low low price of a quarterโ€™s worth of mortgage payments, while my friends and family miss out. Gross, greedy, and frustrating.

Fantastic IndyCar race at Laguna today. Flawless victory by Alex Palou!

Iโ€™m really digging the coverage by @foxsports.com.web.brid.gy, after the league had been punted to cable channels on NBC Sportsโ€ฆ been a good season so far. Next race is here in Portland!

Glass feels forced. The displayโ€™s already made of glass, weโ€™re good. Feels like early Mac OS X days or an unfortunate step back towards skeuomorphic design.

Text is unreadable, from the time on the Home Screen, to notifications, to search criteria.

Give me a toggle to turn this thing off.

iOS 26 Public Beta hot take: not a fan.

UI elements are larger than they should be, to the point of it making me feel like Iโ€™m playing with a kids toy. Example: why is the โ€œHomeโ€ icon (and other favorites) in Maps so yuuge? โ€ฆ

Three College Kids Burned To Death Inside A Cybertruck Because The Doors Wouldn't Open: Highway Patrol - Jalopnik A CHP investigation has indicated that the crashed truck immediately burst into flames and locked its passengers inside, condemning them to their deaths.

Beyond it being the "Facist Thing on Four Wheels", please, really, do not buy a Tesla for this reason - in a crash, the doors should be able to open.

There is nothing like the pure freedom and joy of a Phish concert โ€“ a powerful communal moment that is often likened to a religious experience, a transcendent moment. Formed in 1983 in the homegrown music scene of Burlington, Vermont, Phish have grown into the planetโ€™s preeminent jam band, combining stellar musicianship with a singular ability to build a vibrant grassroots community, their โ€œPhishheadโ€ fan ecosystem. Always breaking new ground, in 1991, the band developed Phish.net, which became a hub for fans to share setlists, trade bootleg recordings, and discuss the bandโ€™s music. The pioneering online network exemplified how communities could thrive online, long before social media.

Phish have taken the jam band mantle to the next level, delivering improvisatory performances and utilizing innovative technologies to encourage fan taping of their shows. Guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman, and keyboardist Page McConnell are revered for providing unsurpassed live experiences, where audiences can โ€œsurrender to the flowโ€ of their kaleidoscopic melodies, jazz chord progressions, folk harmonies, unexpected song transitions, and virtuosic solos. For the band, every show is a musical playdate with each other, with sound, and the audience โ€“ never performing the same song in the same way. Greatness attracts greatness โ€“ Phish have been joined onstage by artists including Jimmy Buffett, George Clinton, members of the Grateful Dead, Warren Haynes, JAY-Z, Wynonna Judd, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young.

After four decades creating brilliant music, Phish have become a formidable force in the music industry. They have sold out concerts around the world, but to their fans, no venue means more than Madison Square Garden. In 2017, the band sold out 13 consecutive shows at the Garden during their โ€œBakerโ€™s Dozenโ€ residency where they never repeated a single song. The bandโ€™s groundbreaking festivals directly inspired many of todayโ€™s camping festivals. Phish continue to โ€œsplit open and meltโ€ audiences with new albums and live performances, intricate compositions and jams, organic and elegant light shows, and stunning oversized stage props. Their influence continues to be felt not only through the music industry but through musicians from Matisyahu and Adam Levine of Maroon 5 to bands Umphreyโ€™s McGee and Goose. 

Nominees: Trey Anastasio, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell

@asusrog.bsky.social Please, please.. release a 50-series BTF OCโ€™d card. My Strix 4090 lay dead on a workbench, taken out by a faulty CableMod adapter from Sept., and after seeing reports of 5090 faults (not your fault!!), IMO BTF is the way to go vs 12V-2x6. Heck Iโ€™d sign NDA and beta test! ๐Ÿ™
