Old floppy drive with printed label 'Works, but makes Sad Noises'

Got my performance review.

Tesla was supposed to be an EV company, but as Elon Musk tries to become a trillionaire, he needs it to be about much more.

This week @niedermeyer.online joins @parismarx.com to discuss the state of Tesla and other companies’ efforts to overtake it on EVs.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

i see a lot of "my driving scares me too" "i don't know how to drive" etc bumper stickers here and it's like...okay yeah yeah cars bad but hmm maybe if you don't know how to drive you should...practice and get better rather than going out on the road & endangering other people every day???

entirely unable to wrap my mind around the concept of "people think bald men/men with shaved heads can't be hot" like??? they're missing out. people who are attracted to men think that?? you have the world at your fingertips and you're dismissing it??? smh

literally never in my life ever going to be over the end of Rising Tide. when everyone's GOING and snowy's just tearing it the fuck up on guitar. god. insane every time. never going to be over it. never

record so good you gotta fully bodily lay on the floor with it blaring loud as fuck in the good headphones at 11pm on a saturday

one of the best tracks on Half-Staff Blues by Peter Peter Hughes

peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/track/that-guy

yeahhhhh i'd already bought the new ticket before hearing everything but the more i learn about it the more i'm considering just accepting the loss and skipping that one. which really sucks because that's my best friend's bday and we were super excited to go to the show together!

@themountaingoats.bsky.social very sorry to be the guy asking about this, but apparently the new venue for y'all's 9-28 Peoria IL show, Crusens Farmington Road, is a MAGA bar?? I can't pretend to understand the complexities of booking shows and all, but...man I'm really not sure about this one

i know summer is almost over but truly a happy Half-Staff Blues summer to all who observe

Cory does lots of fucking incredible work about enshittification and IP/copyright and the digital world in general, and if you have thoughts and opinions on the digital hellscape in which we all reside you owe it to yourself to check out his work!! pluralistic.net

btw, Cory Doctorow, who coined the term "enshittification", has a book about it coming out Oct 7, which you can preorder from all good book retailers & support the kickstarter for the DRM-free audiobook: www.kickstarter.com/projects/doc...

genius lyrics pages with a hundred contributors and twenty opposing annotations ❌
genius lyrics pages where the entire discography of one band was transcribed by one singular person with too much free time and a dream and they left it blissfully annotation-free ✅✅✅

discord message from lyric: ordinarily I have no tolerance for genius lyrics dot com, however. sometimes your band doesn't have official lyrics on bandcamp or on physical releases or anything so you have to begrudgingly resort to the internet. and then you discover that literally the entire catalogue of songs by this artist has been transcribed by One Person on genius lyrics dot com, with zero annotations or footnotes or anything of the sort. sometimes the world is beautiful

i'm having such a great time in the donut mines today

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

emily i am SO excited to let you know that yes there is a cat her name is Dinah and she is wonderful and i love her. Lawrence is in my experience the best town for shop cats, there's at least four off the top of my head!!!

oh i love this one, it was a pretty immediate fav for me! and goddammit now it's stuck in my head too lmao

Archiving is a selfless act, often carried out by people who care too much, for people who care too little. I know this is a basic take but you have to do something because it makes you happy, not because you expect anything in return. Cool people do cool things because it's fun

FRONT ROW CREW LOVES YOU TOO!!!!!!!! can't wait to see you out there again friend 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

A SKELTON MAD AND IT SAY,S "I DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK A WEBP IS JUST GIVE ME A JPG MOTHER FUCKER " FUCK AVIF, FUCK WEBP, FUCK WEBM, STOP INVENTING NEW FILE TYPES, THE MORE WE INVENT THE WORSE EVERY THING GET'S, THINK ABOUT IT - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN
