you know who ELSE got tortured by being impaled to a post and was subsequently murdered?

Some years ago my band was recording a track and on one track a 2 part vocal harmony sounded like 3 parts due to various sonic factors and one guy's aunt was like "wow that must have been an angel!" and I said "I think it's cool but normal" and she said "Why couldn't it be an angel?" anyway AI

we're all in the gutter, but some of us are still voting for the cars

quit trying to make stoat happen

yeah "taking a moment to think is the enemy of panicked ill informed decisions" feels more accurate here

i only clicked because the 10 day forecast is "40s-50s, cloudy" far as the eye can see (with a brief break for "40s-50s, sunny" in the middle of the week next week), and seeing something so obviously false always makes me want to investigate why someone would do that

the weather has been so boring here that there was an algorithm slop article this morning with the headline "RECORD COLD AND SNOW IN SEATTLE" talking about some time the weather was interesting in the 1950s

i think over 90% of the emails i get from amazon are them desperately trying to get me to listen to two free audiobooks, and each one is pretending this is some rare deal i have lucked into with some immense great fortune

hand drawn sticker that says "ride a bike". it has a helpful drawing of what a bike looks like also

two stickers: "can you imagine life after cars?" and "bikes rule cars drool" the photo is cropped and zoomed in so it's kinda blurry because the photographer was in a hurry because the light was about to change

at some point the property managers of seattle seem to have collectively decided to salt the shit out of the sidewalks any time the temp dips below freezing

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
