How / why the fuck is acrobat reader 765nb?

U2 apparently has a new EP out which I have not heard. I can only imagine how bad it is. They have not released a decent LP in 26 years, no reason they will change now.

My Review of Malley’s Chocolates My Review of Malley’s Chocolates - Cleveland Scene

This review ia a joke. Malley's is rubbish, no better than Hershey's. www.clevescene.com/news/clevela...

It's been a minute since I watched "Harold and Maude" which I need to correct. So good.

I'd watch that. As soon as I win the lottery I'll fund it.

Me since Monday.

I just watched Köln 75 and really enjoyed it. It's flawed, but a great ride. I just put on the original album.

How the fuck does my MacBook get more battery life than I ever need but my shitty Dell work laptop go from 100% - 20% in two hours only running Outlook and Edge?

Fuck winter.

Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform Indie music store says it wants fans to have confidence music was largely made by humans.

I applaud this move if it can be policed.

I finally got a vinyl copy of Rosalía's Lux. I was waiting on a repress instead of paying stupid Discogs prices. It sounds great, but has the worst inner sleeves I have ever seen. Clear plastic, think sandwich bag material and full of static. At least it's flat and quiet. Pressed by MPO.

It's only January, but will this reissue of Morton Feldman's Rothko Chapel / For Frank O'Hara be the vinyl reissue of the year? Probably. Sounds great and pressed at Gotta Groove right here in Cleveland.

Kilik from sunny Cleveland. It's fermented and funky. Go for the Mù if you like heat. www.killikhsc.com/our-story/

Scary. Glad to hear he's on the mend. Sending positive vibes.

I just played Blackstar and now I'm sad.

Warner Bros. sticks with Netflix merger, calls Paramount’s $108B bid “illusory” Larry Ellison pledged $40B, but "he didn’t raise the price," Warner chair says.

They sure don't make televisions like this anymore.

I ordered a new power bank online and it showed up today with yet another shitty USB A to C cable that I'll never use. I'll add it to the collection. Perhaps they'll be worth something eventually.

Cuyahoga County’s leading overdose killer is now cocaine. How do we treat it? The county's Medical Examiner is calling to pivot addiction prevention and treatment efforts to address rising cocaine overdose deaths, but experts say it could be tricky, because they don't have the ...

"Fuck opioids! Cocaine is much more fun!" says the guy wo hasn't done a line since 1997.

R.I.P. Béla Tarr. I've seen his 1994 7+ hour masterpiece Sátántangó on the big screen. Twice.

This alcoholics desk is stunning. I always admire people that have the skill and patience to restore furniture.

Stewart Cheifet, PBS host who chronicled the PC revolution, dies at 87 Cheifet produced more than 400 episodes of TV tracing the rise of personal computing.

RIP Mr Cheifet. Computer Chronicles was such a great show. I just watched the one on the new Pentium processors yesterday.

Under anti-vaccine RFK Jr., CDC slashes childhood vaccine schedule The changes are modeled after a small country with universal health care.

What the fuck is this moron doing?

"The country is already seeing surges in vaccine-preventable diseases amid a nationwide slide in childhood vaccination, particularly with outbreaks of whooping cough and measles. The US is on track to lose its measles elimination status this month."
