Silicon Valley’s Dream Tech Job Is Disappearing (Gift Article) It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies.

let this article serve as a reminder that you (yes, even you in tech) deserve a union: ethanmarcotte.com/book…

And look, I realize Live at Folsom Prison is the best is about as bold as saying “water is wet”, but it’s a classic for a reason.

Cash - Live at Folsom Prison.

I thought this excellent article from @davidwondrich.bsky.social needed another repost. To me, the problem with these weird new drinks, is if bars don’t include the classics on their menu also. If they don’t, people will eventually forget them, and forgetting history is (almost) never a good thing.

Oh dang! Yeah, Grace Under Pressure was my entry point for the band. Really good stuff!

Woah! I didn't think they'd go with the Malice costume this fast!

What’s the most perfectly cast role in cinema history?

Remember When We Were All Lovers, by Automatic Shoes 12 track album

Easy as Pie, by The Surfrajettes 12 track album

Easy as Pie - Surfrajettes I got lucky enough to finally catch the Surfrajettes live at Ohana this year and man do they put on a great show. Fun, lighthearted music with a side of reverb. thesurfrajettes.bandcamp.com/album/easy-a...

Trail Songs Of The Deep, by Murry Hammond 10 track album

Trail Songs of the Deep - Murry Hammond, bass player & co founder of the Old 97’s, has put together a second solo album and I’m dying to hear it. Expect semi melancholy tunes with a touch of Johnny Cash rhythm. murryhammond.bandcamp.com/album/trail-...

Lean into it. Start drinking rum drinks. Throw together a tiki bar. Obsessively follow bartenders on social media.

There's a reason for that.

Man, he was so good!

If you see this, post a redhead.

This information has rocked my world.

So when I was a kid and we went "gimme five, up high, down low, too slow," the high five part was not even a decade old?

I’ll be saving that for an in person conversation.

“Wait, it’s not a series?! You’re stopping at the second album?!” says man who didn’t read the very literal title of the documentary he had watched which was Becoming Led Zeppelin.

Age verification?

I called time and temperature for some company.
