An ad from Straight To Hell apparel, who make cool clothes and jackets for aging rockers like myself, that says "don't wait for permission" and it's got a whole outfit laid out including sunglasses and it looks kind of silly I guess.

This picture looks like they raptured a guy who loves IPAs but has gotten more into sours

Scrolling through my feed and seeing the top part of this video before the bottom part is such a good reveal

I also think it's good to do your own work. If I don't write my own emails or do my own data analysis I won't remember the work I did because I didn't spend any time with it.

The smartest thing I heard about AI this week is that this is a revolution in data, and all of the AI tools are novelty without well structured and accessible data. The Gen AI stuff is Generic AI.

Hey the band @timeshares.bsky.social do you have new music out today?

My buddy's theory is that they "ran out of AI"

My band dr beebo has a new single out today called "junior prom night in the hospital" except we're called Cold Wrecks and the song is called Heart Attack

My friend Austin Kopec's new single: very groovy, layered, cool keys in the intro, nuanced

My new single: wait what if high school permanently burned me out and what if work is a waste of time and what if I'm literally dying

I have a new song out today about how I know I'm not dying when I feel like I'm dying

I do actually try to check out new bands but I'm biased by bands in my scene and bands with members I've known forever. The smaller bands I've been pushing are Hell Beach and Sadlands.

I love when someone is stoked on a small band no one has ever heard of releasing new music. Just a "hell yeah dr beebo has new ep" and I know I won't check out dr beebo but I'm happy for everyone involved.

Are there other possibilities for inspiration? Playing an instrument, listening to music, a writing exercise where you can just write and it doesn't have to be good?

It helps now that the actresses are friends and you can just blame Rick Berman for the whole thing

I find it very difficult to breakdance under these conditions.

I share my Paramount login so that people I know can watch Star Trek so that I can have a normal conversation about how a show isn't that good

I walked past an unbuilt Sukkah on my way to work and genuinely thought to myself "what is that?" I literally have Sukkot plans tonight

When you've figured out that Hanukah isn't Jewish Christmas, and now you're just taking wild stabs at which holiday *is* Jewish Christmas.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video
