After leaving Facebook almost 3 years ago, I’ve found that I have very little to say. It’s nice.

Pretty please, with a cherry on top, stop treating developers like piñatas filled with free software.

This is the single greatest headline in history.

I don't want email summaries I don't want youtube video summaries I don't want search summaries I don't want anything made by a water-guzzling liar and thief with no mind, soul, or bigger purpose other than making everything around me worse, uglier and warmer. No amount of pop ups will convince me!

Coming soon 😎 #Dawesome #Abyss2

"When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace." A quote typically attributed to Jimi Hendrix, but moreso Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) This is positive and no one was hurt. I'm good with it. 👍

👏👏👏🏆👏👏👏

The schoolbus! It’s gaining on us! If only this Ferrari could go faster! To all the young people who complain about things not making sense in movies: Yeah. We never noticed. Because it was 1988 and we had the collective IQ of a toaster. Good times. 😎

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

What a journey. Probably THE most highly anticipated software synth of all time. I was honored to join one of the most talented sound design teams on the planet. Zebra 3 has FINALLY landed! 🥳 #zebra3 #u-he u-he.com/products/syn...

I wasn't prepared for this to be a documentary 😂 #ArtemisII #Microslop

I love space and science but I can’t help but find a little humor in the “toilet-centric” elements of this Artemis II mission 💩 🚀

I had a lot of fun making some factory patches for TAL-J8X, a pretty great emulation of the Roland JX-8P, one of the greatest analog polysynths of all time. 😎 youtu.be/gef4uJy-KKg

Apparently the 4th dimension was bleh so we’re gonna skip ahead to the 5th one. www.popularmechanics.com/science/a708...

PayPal: You still haven’t added crypto to your checkout

As someone who's tried to create an elegant, lightweight sine function within Reaktor Core, I'm actually very impressed that this is even possible just with bezier splines. Sure, there' a few lower-order harmonics clunking around at (checks notes) -80dB? That's actually pretty remarkable. #zebra3

Meanwhile in Zebra 3... #u-he #zebra3 #synthesizers

The full video of this incredible restoration. 😍

I can't stop watching these. 👀

@nep-dk.bsky.social I've become obsessed with this YT channel about vintage poster restoration. 👀

This show was my JAM when I was little kid! Boredom was intense back in the days of yore LONG before the internet. Voyagers was a fun distraction. youtu.be/P6j67WbCn5A

Oh goodie. I can now accept crypto via Paypal. That's a huge load off. And not a huge red flag at all. 😐

Enough flagships. Swiss Army knife synths were appealing back in the “noughties” but they lost their appeal at some point. These days I prefer a synth that’s super dialled in on something very specific and doesn’t punch me in the face with option paralysis.

It’s seriously troubling that EVERYTHING is tied up in this shit. EV—VERY—THING.

The word of the day is…

Just finished the Stranger Things finale. No spoilers here. Just deep joy and gratitude for the Duffer Bros. As a child of the 80s, I feel like this show was made just for me. 🥹

Every 2 or 3 years I give Netflix my money for a show that probably should've ended a long time ago, and I'm once again reminded that it's literally the only Netflix property that I care about. That show will end in just a few hours. Good luck in 2026, Netflix. You're gonna need it. 🫡

Part of me says "give it a chance and watch it before criticizing it". Another part of me has gotten the closure I wanted from Endgame and said my goodbyes. I don't need fan service. I enjoyed 10 years of these movies and I've moved on.

Finished season 1 last night. It’s very good but doesn’t seem to have found its sea legs yet. Hopefully season 2 will drill a bit deeper into these characters. It has a lot of potential.

If you need something to put some wind in your sails, Lost in Starlight is a nice little love story that reminds me of those mid-budget movies in the 90s that brighten your day a little. ❤️

I don't ask much. Just leave R2 & C3PO alone. 🙏

Headlines 20 years ago: “Man Saves Dog From Well” Headlines today:

Where’s the algorithm that tracks my lack of political engagement? Can we have THAT algorithm please? PLEASE? 🙏

I really wish I could be excited for Welcome to Derry. *stares in Castle Rock*

I don't normally hype things up like a lot of other YouTube personalities do, but Dawesome's Kontrast actually is a pretty cool new approach to wavetable synthesis. I made some factory patches for it too.

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

WHY WOULD ANYONE SAVE A POST? WHY DID YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO ANYONE?

I can already see Jimmy Fallon's "mannequin hands" skit of Sam Altman's GTP-5 lecture in my mind. "GPT-5 told me this is how hand gestures work." Why are billionaires aliens? 😂

“Single Riders”. Perfect. No complaints here. Run with it. 👌🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

“A Loud Place” might be a little more entertaining. If you stop yelling, you die.

This sceenshot of Pris trying to kill Deckard in Blade Runner will never not make me laugh. 🤣

Ah, yes, bisexuality circa 1995 😂

"Big Beautiful Bill" is borderline "Build Back Better"
