I cannot overstate how terrible this is for the Maker / DIY community...

@raudvik.bsky.social @etherdiver.bsky.social Yeah... That's fair. I can't believe he still finds mainstream work after all the crap he pulled during Suicide Squad's filming

A local theater showing only 2 tickets sold for Friday night showings of Tron Ares

Holy moly, went to change my Tron Ares tickets and every local theater, IMAX included, only sold a handful of tickets... Seems crazy. Is the Disney/ABC boycott still on? No audience interest in Tron? Or is it a dud and I didn't notice because neon lights & NIN are two of my kinks?

Walking around the general public lately and sort of thinking... yeah, it might.

I didn't have "NPR selling ads as social media posts" for my late stage capitalism dystopia bingo card but here we are. And a prompt unfollow as well

Was hoping to stick around $100 - $150. Wanted to find something decent that if I dropped into a river or down a flight of steps I wouldn't be too heartbroken over

the outsiders game studio is closing after 10 years because of funcom layoffs

Any recommendations on a cheap beginner field recorder? Was considering a Zoom H1 Essential or TASCAM DR-05XP. Just looking for something simple & cheap to play around with for fun samples, and that if I drop or break it I'm not out $$$

I know there's others in the pacific northwest and in rural communities in the fall. It's like GenCon for fiber arts :D

Throwing a wild idea at you, or at least an idea of something that might occur near you... There's a wool & fiber arts festival coming up in Rhinebeck, NY. My wife knits and creates her own yarn and this is a huge deal for that hobby. There are similar events this time of year sheepandwool.com

My wife an I have been going to those empty plaza stores where it's consignment booths of antiques, vintage items, and just random stuff. It's been refreshing to disassociate there in the quiet, be reminded of simplier times, and occasionally find a cool treasure or knick knack to bring home

Take care of your knees. And you can't get time back. Spend it wisely, do good things, make amends, be willing to give and receive positive energy. You never know what sunset will be your last.

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

The late Dr. Jane Goodall with a wonderful posthumous message. Worth the few minutes! What a treasure.

It's been frustrating... The licenses are just gone, no word from their support desk other than trying to sign out / sign in.

Oooh, yeah I'll be reading that as well. I was just listening to Comafields while I went to pickup dinner. There's just something special about how he layers samples that people imitate but never get right.

Finally got around to watching "The Substance"... Wow that is going to be bouncing around my brain for a VERY long time.

Been thinking of going "dawless" for a while now and I think this is the catalyst... This weekend no more computers, VSTs, license checks, USB, firmware updates, or Wi-Fi... Just midi DIN cables and recording straight from mixer to tape.

Sigh... updated my MPC Live 2 to the new hot software update and half of my plugins no longer have have licenses. I've been picking them as part of bundles and freebies for years, now I have to hope the Akai support team can help unravel the mess.

Was reorganizing my media drive and came across a misnamed file that I had to play to see it was Mad Max Fury Road.... well, 2 hours later I fixed the file name and had rewatched that masterpiece. 😅

this is the last physics video for a bit.
and I didn't even get to do any physics.

Text from a Google AI search result asking "what David Lynch movies aren't in the Criterion Collection?" only to have it say that Eraserhead and The Elephant Man are both not included and included in the Criterion Collection

A picture of some of my Criterion Collection Blu-ray discs, which includes both Eraserhead and The Elephant Man which Google's AI search results says both exist and don't exist...

AI has absolutely ruined Google Search... This is literally the pile of Criterion discs I am archiving tonight with both Eraserhead and The Elephant Man included...

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.

this business model should be flatly illegal

taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome

ban it completely

Nah, she just sees an opportunity in the long run. Can't go wrong being supportive of victims, and if (when) the files ever are released she can look like she championed it.
