It is October, and therefore time for your nights in the lonesome.

I listen to 1st Wave, Lithium, Alt2k, The Bridge, Classic Rewind, and '80s on 8 (all channels on Sirius), and my own CD collection, because I'm in the upper half of my '50s, and some random asshole who writes for Rolling Stone thinks that makes me some kind elitist snob. It's almost funny.

It has come to my attention that not all of you are aware that this exists. So, here it is. It exists. Dozens of channels of randomized music videos and bumpers. Choose your era and return to your childhood. Bookmark it for when you need to escape back. wantmymtv.vercel.app/player.html

The fact that none of these "AI" chat bots are named Eliza is how you know these idiot tech bros know nothing.

I don't know any of Bad Bunny's music, being an aging Gen Xer who doesn't follow pop trends, but fuck it, let's re-unite Public Enemy and N.W.A. and _really_ scare the shit out of the right. Straight Outta Compton and Fear of a Black Planet are still relevant today. 35 years later.

Merry Christmas ya wacky bunch of Internet weirdos.

Getting ready for Sarah McLachlan at the Anthem

I really _REALLY_ hope this is actually the current Pope. He's literally on a mission from God. Someone ask him about The Penguin.

I have a question for all of you mad about this: When the lack of SNAP funds starts to actually starve kids, which is basically right about now, how much do you think those people reliant on those funds care about your principled stand while telling their kids they don't get to eat today?

It's that time of year again.

Okay, we can turn off the Internet forever now; perfection has been achieved.

It is time for your Nights in the Lonesome.

DefCon isn't quite what I expected, but it is cool and I'm glad I made it here at least once.

Welcome to DefCon; wait on this line.

Greetings from Fabulous Las Vegas! At least, that's where the sign said I am, exclamation point and all.

On my way to DefCon. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

Yo @swiftonsecurity.com , this one is for you.

Au revoir Bordeaux. It has been awesome.

A vertical Sauternes collection spanning nineteen years.

Most amazing wine shop I've ever been in. Bordeaux, Aquitaine.

In other news, water is wet and fire will burn you.

Happy Mother's Day.

It's Friday, I feel like starting a flight: vi rulez Emacs droolz

One of the weirdest things about being over fifty is that most of the doctors I interact with are younger than me. It's like I'm living in a world where they're all Doogie Howser. They're not. They're mostly in their thirties; they just look like kids.

I believe the appropriate response here is to tell Mr Martin to get fucked. Preferably on the House floor while Congress is in session.

So I guess if you're a terrorist you can just encode your messages with terms Felon 47 doesn't like and not worry about being discovered by our intelligence services. This is insanity that will fuck our ability to gather intelligence for years.

Bye ATL, it's been...a work thing, I'm sure you're more fun for people here for that express purpose.

Greetings from Atlanta. Time to pick up my rental and play in traffic. It's just like being home.

It's now officially Christmas time.

Why the fuck is @bsky.app hiding the bottom of some posts, and how the hell do I make it stop doing that? Seriously, I really hate that behavior.

I seem to have picked up some new followers, which is cool and all, but please note that I'm not terribly interesting and my posting is sporadic at best. I appreciate the follows and I'm not asking anyone to leave; I'm just managing expectations here.

The world's richest man says everyone else has to suffer so he can pay less taxes. When the masses finally wake up and drag him out of bed to string him up at the nearest tree, I'm sure, clueless fuck that he is, he'll be whining about why is everyone so angry.

Dids my civic duty this morning.

I think Wes Anderson doing the other Wes's Scream would be amazing.

While many of you were watching Vance lie through his teeth and Walz waste his time refuting when he should have simply said "Senator _LOVE_seat wrote the forward to Project2025" and asking where's Mike Pence, I was having fun instead. And yes, I'm totally kink shaming you for it.

If you're lonesome in October, your nights are here.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #380,054!

I ask anyone these fucks to look at a map of the North American continent from 1847 and then tell me who invaded who, exactly?

We can't pin a post here (that I've found anyway), so it's time to post this again: I am Gen X; sarcasm is my superpower; don't fuck with me.

Prepare for take off.
