Going to head off this twice-yearly discourse by saying once again, For those who balance their active time around noon, having the solar noon match is best. For the rest—I presume majority- of us who balance around mid-afternoon, solar noon is best later than 1200.

Slept 12 hours each on Saturday and Sunday, and only worked past 1 am Sunday night because it was the first time in a couple weeks I felt like I could actually *do* something and not feel like pushing the same rock up the steep hill. I feel accomplished even if the rest of the weekend was a wash.

Quoting only so I can frantically point at it and show every liminal Poolrooms game dev that "THIS! This is how you do it! Look at the attention to detail! The lighting! You're getting shown up by Silicon Valley plutocrats!"

Eeriest video I ever showed on stream was a doc on how the road up to the Eagle's Nest was built. They told it in the same manner as if they were building the railroad over Donner Pass; admiring despite the human toll.

An enormous fire all but destroyed an infamous Nazi-era guesthouse known as the Eagle’s Nest in southern Germany, according to the police, who said on Saturday that a man had been arrested in connection with the blaze.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

AudioPilz, an incredibly talented Euro audio gear YouTuber, put this out 2 weeks ago about a new cheap box that is attracting the same breed of slop-coders. His videos are usually lighthearted but this one felt like looking over the precipice. youtu.be/cM1ubk7JQ3E

I need to brush up on who's who for Vaporwave Alive II this weekend. I mistook one artist for another in Lux's chat tonight and it's something that's happened before. I want to not have it happen again because 😳

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

Dustin Hoffman claims that during filming "Midnight Cowboy," they couldn't afford to shut traffic on a NYC street so him and Jon Voight had to time their walk & talk with the traffic signal. A cabbie nearly hit the two, Hoffman reflexively yelled "I'm walkin' over here!" and the rest is history.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

I went to the high desert again yesterday. My ears haven't come back down. Maybe if I bribe a doctor to diagnose me will low altitude sickness I can get a recommendation to move out there.

both covid and flu are currently surging i saw an epidemiologist recently say that the number of flu cases this year is currently where they typically would be in december meaning: it's currently bad and likely going to get worse remember to get your updated vaccines and mask up! 🫶

Sometimes I wish English-language culture had "eras" like Japan has Shows, Heisei, etc. Closest we have are "decades" and those are vague and arbitrary. Anyway, this is a Dubya-era meme, I guess.

this is everyone about everything now

Watched Fatal Images (1989, unironically one of my favorite slasher flicks ever) and Cute Devil (1982 with horrendous sound quality) and at multiple times through each of those movies the people I were watching it went "Why didn't they just beat the killer with a hammer?" and it makes one think.

My kingdom (again) for a mouse that has side buttons and doesn't crap out after 6 months. I finally found one that has a working middle button (took three tries) and now the one I have is double-clicking. Might see if I can spray some contact cleaner in the switch but I have no faith it'll work.

I feel like the situation here, where they shut off the power for a couple of days whenever it’s hot, dry, and windy, is one they could probably solve in a more modern way if they actually wanted to update any of the infrastructure.

DAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!!!!!

I think I might actually have a plunderphonics bug. I made three tracks in 4 hours (one was a redo of a track I'd already released), and if it weren't for this head cold I'd be up for another couple hours. I'm not at the point I want to, yet, but I'm getting there fast.

ICYMI, the geniuses at @whetstone.games have put a sampler in their killer music making game, OFFBEAT 😍 Aaaaaand it comes bundled with HOT SOUNDS from myself and other cool composers and audio magicians 🪄 Get stuck in! Make music! It rules!!

I've never not considered myself weird. I only knew my own thoughts, my eyes only see what I see, when I move my body, no one else's body moves. I'm not like anyone else. They sure don't act like me, but I'm grouped with them for some reason. I probably had these thoughts before I knew language.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" might be my favorite movie, but the flashback scene which was supposed to be set in 1963 has Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" which came out in 1967, an eternity back then. That scene also has my favorite self-cameo in any media.

fun fact: in 1992, berkley replaced columbus day with Indigenous Peoples day. then no other city or state did until 2014,when i was a policy aide for Alondra Cano and some friends and i convinced her to pass the resolution in Minneapolis. i got to write it and plan the celebration.

I'm sick of reading these courtroom play-by-plays where the Judge calls the gov't the scum of the earth but won't actually hand down any consequences. All bullshit if you ask me. Hasn't stopped them from doing anything.

JR: What are the plans moving forward? DOJ: Today, NPS go w/ contractor to see whether grounds are wet...I understand nothing can happen JR: "Is everyone else aware of that? Because I promise you if that order is violated by two seconds, there are gonna be contempt proceedings."
