I just got my first pedal board chain kinda dialed in!! I already need a bigger one but I’m not trying to become a pedal collector. I’m at 5; a vox harmony, the acoustic OD (mainly for the color and active pickup compensator), distortion, fuzz, and delay. It’s fun!

Tbh I’ve been resistant to getting into it because dudebros have made it seem so intimidating but it’s really not. Anyway, it’s never too late to decide you hate money and get more gear

I still can’t stop thinking about You Can See Everything. Elizabeth Holmes. She’s a liar and fraudster willing to put the lives of real people at risk, and she was RUTHLESS in harassing journalists and whistleblowers—one to the point of suicide. She’s so awful and so compelling

Look I cannot believe this needs to be said but writing a tie in novel you don't like is not the same thing as committing sex crimes. Astarion Fans Be Normal For Five Minutes Challenge level: Impossible, apparently

Speaking of fandom Discourse, Helluva Boss is back 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t want to patronize to younger fans (because I don’t think they’re stupid or even misinformed, we all start somewhere and I’m not throwing that stone) but you can tell they’re analyzing these adult relationships with a teen perspective

God damn it I’m going to have to talk about Astarion in therapy *again* Abuse and trauma survivors react different ways. There’s no one way to act after trauma or sexual abuse/assault. Some people in the Discourse are straight-up invalidating various responses to trauma

Like dear god did any of these people *play the game*? I’m tired of people deciding not only what a “perfect victim” looks like but that a perfect victim is a thing that exists at all I’m so tired

Noooooo my local Wake County Library branch thought they’d be able to stay open during the roof work but they determined they need to close until November for safety I mean good but also 😭😭

I’m still getting over the interview where Scott Bessent said Melania’s friends think he’s so handsome and they’re sad he’s gay

In my house we hate Garrosh

Michael Akerman@data-makerman.bsky.social

Garrosh Hellscream was orange, became a despotic and unhinged leader with vindictive nationalist tendencies, and hailed from the Mag'har (sounds like MAGA). Coincidence??? I think not.

Overheard at the bar: these 30-something podcast bros are talking about their hasn’t been cultural advancement since the dawn of the internet Except for Tarantino It’s fascinating to hear it in the wild

Trump on Letitia James being special prosecutor for the Cornell rape case: "I feel badly for whoever she's looking at, because they won't get a fair shake"

It’s definitely easier said than done, but I keep thinking about the victim and how much easier her life would be if she wasn’t a survivor of sexual assault either and I have little sympathy for Geller I have enjoyed and recommended his work in the past but I don’t like how he’s handled this

an actual dog@devtesla.bsky.social

it sucks but if you did something fucked up you need to be open and honest about it, and take it on the chin all the ways that will harm you, or you're going to have a day like Jacob Geller is having today

I needed to clear my head so I started messing around on my guitar but while I was tuning my low-E down all I could think was, “More like drop-DEEZ NUTS!”

Her point about how Geller presented as a non-threatening feminist without disclosing his past punishment for sexual assault hits the nail on the head. I get not wanting to share that info b/c you’ll be judged even if you’ve grown BUT that’s what accountability is—esp for a public feminist man

On Jacob Geller

This is an aside but since it’s in my backyard: Why was a guy who agreed at the time he assaulted someone and cooperated with the investigation only punished by temporary university suspension and not criminal charges?

On Jacob Geller

And I was a bit squicked by the effusive wording in his post confirming the assault and apologizing, but I also recognize there’s not going to be anything he can say that’s much better really

PRIMETIME is the best movie I’ve seen this year. It’s beautifully shot with high contrast, colorful, grainy composition and principal performances from Robert Pattinson, Merrit Wever, and Skyler Gizmodo that are intense, nuanced, and theatrical.
