So important to have an online/offline dynamic in these turbulent times. Plus, then you have a text record of important events in real time, which is a barbed bonus.

Log in a survival horror game-ass text. A good one, at that.

Living in S.C. is tough for the politics and associated issues, but also because it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit at 8:57 last night. Upside? The porch was covered in these little fuckers, eating the early bugs and licking their eyeballs.
As well there should be! Seriously, Iβm perpetually impressed by how well-researched and laid out your articles are.
This is what Magic writing can be at its best and @mikecarrozza.bsky.social is Magic writers at their best. Weβre lucky to be here and weβre lucky to have Mike at @cascadecascade.com.
Ryan rules. More charts in Magic writing!

It actually rules to watch LLM centrism develop in real time. "Ok yes, tech bros are taking things way too far but LLM skeptics are just as silly, surely we can all agree that it's a transformative new technology and we all need to get onboard" and like, bro. Bro. We know who's side you're really on

Some news: Iβm writing a book about zoos and modern humanity's precarious place in nature!
As a lifelong Zoo Guy and animal obsessive, I feel very lucky to have this opportunity. It's still very much a work in progress, but I think you'll really enjoy it when the time comes.
I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."

yeah itβs called my damn coffee cake
Moral is: never stop checking and never check out. Sometimes it takes twelve years. Those years pass and theyβre full of joys and agonies. They still pass.
So now itβs twelve years later. The woman on the stage and I are married. Our first dance as spouses was βPhantom Painsβ by Christine Fellows. And still no βMigrations.β Until we get a legit recording of it on a 7β with Mary! Chapin! Carpenter! causally dropped on a Bandcamp Friday.
Everyone applauds, she nailed it, show starts. John Darnielle comes out, he plays some of his songs, then he launches into Christine Fellowsβ βMigrationsβ and crushes it. For years, I tried to find video of him playing it at any other show. Iβve seen TMG 20 times since and he never did.

I would have proposed on the spot if I had brought a ring.
At the show, they told us weβd be singing Nicoβs βThese Daysβ as a chorus later in the evening & asked someone to come onstage to lead the crowd in a practice round. My girlfriend volunteered, went up onstage &, in front of several hundred people with no warmup, sang in her clear, breezelike voice.
A Lore Thread: back in 2014, my girlfriend and I drove up to Saxapahaw to see a βBoys Rock for Girls Rockβ charity show at Haw River with The Love Language, @themountaingoats.bsky.social, and Phill Cook. On the way up, we listened to Christine Fellowsβ Nevertheless repeatedly.
Think you locked onto it, though!
Think your shirt is safe, because they absolutely tracks! John Darnielle is credited on some of βLife & Death of an American Fourtrackerβ (and I saw both Johns play βNikkiβ together an age ago).
Oh yeah, there was a ton of fruitful overlap during that periodβneed to revisit Revolt with that in mind!
Itβs sick, too. βEmergingβ one of the all-timers that he hasnβt played in 15 years.
