A quick introduction since I’m new here: Looking for a few people to follow who are into music, art, food, and fountain pens. I build guitars, speak fluent Japanese, and like to take pictures.

“They’re ubiquitous, cheap, and fun.” Cheap? This reporter clearly didn’t do much research. 😂

Would @bsky.app be willing to make a TikTok clone? Asking for a friend.

Apparently they find them in Grand Central. If you’ve been to Grand Central, this completely tracks.

Can't believe I was thinking about turning off DMs today.

It’s starting to come together… …and I was able to chase down the pesky ground loop that was killing my sound.

First impressions from my new CBA Clean: calling this a compressor is like calling an RV a large car; the compression is a platform for everything from clean boost and overdrive to volume, EQ, and modulation, all based on playing dynamics. Very excited to work this into my sound. Sample below.

Merry Christmas to me! Now I just need to find TRS to TR splitters in town so I don’t have to wait a week to use it in stereo.

Nobody: No one: Absolutely no one at all: Me listening to the Christmas Song: So I guess the implications of this are that if you’re 93 you can just get fucked, huh

Dear WSJ — 17 year olds cannot sign contracts or consent to sex with adults. The term we use for sexual contact without consent is “sexual assault” or “rape.” Matt Gaetz gave a 17 year money and then raped her. 👏🏻 Stop 👏🏻 Using 👏🏻 Biased 👏🏻 Language 👏🏻 TYSM

Opinion:

How many Happy Meals do you need to eat before they start to work? I've just had six and I feel terrible.

Ben Folds Five’s early stuff is a perfect example of what happens when a jazz trio goes punk rock.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr performed "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" and "Helter Skelter" during a surprise reunion in London on Thursday night → cons.lv/iY6bSW

Christmas Pro Tip: I was tired of spilling water when I water our Christmas tree, so I leaned on my #redneckengineering skills to build a watering system. The pipe is an IKEA curtain rod and I sourced the funnel from our kitchen.

Everyone in this photo trying to look hard and Luigi in the middle just looking chill. This is a new meme template if I ever saw one.

I know more about this than I should. The accusations are ridiculous.

Project 1: Travel Guitar The onboard amp has failed and needs replacement. Do I: - Replace it with a 9v 2.5 watt onboard amp - Pull the speaker entirely and replace with a multi-effect - Wire in a Bluetooth output

I don’t know who redid The Downfall about guitar gear, but this is amazing. My family kept looking at me to make sure I could breathe even though I was laughing so hard.

Fascinating result from Grok. Whether the explanation is accurate or an unprovable deception to cover impropriety is of little import — either way it’s a significant failure.

It me

Khanna: "The average American, they think that someone who puts rockets up into space, that's a pretty cool thing. And the Democratic Party has to get back to being a party that celebrates building, entrepreneurship, innovation, while at the same time holding people to account."

Apologies to the pedalboard/guitar community for the cable management in this photo. Yes, I know it looks like a flowchart of Jeff Beck’s professional associations. Eurotrack enthusiasts are probably just confused why it’s a problem for cabling to be as disorganized as their mental health.

Luthiers — looking to refinish a guitar and I just watched the StewMac video series on painting. Seems like the type of paint for color won’t matter much since it’s sandwiched between latex and nitro. Is this what others have found?

Since the shooting of the CEO: - 4 children under 11 were killed by gunfire - 11 teenagers were killed by gunfire - there were 3 mass shooting events This is what the media is covering:

I picked up a jazz bass-style kit from Guitar Fetish for Black Friday. Maple neck, WBW three-ply pickguard. Taking suggestions on finish now.

I’m just on BlueSky these days to see what everyone got in their Chase Bliss Mystery Box.

Afternoon guitar noodling. Laid down a quick backing track and spent an hour or so just improvising.

this is the horniest mugshot i've ever seen. who took this

As @rockom.bsky.social points out in this thread, this is likely from Artemis of the Wildlands — a name I’ve not heard in a long, long time.

I smell "Artemis of the Wildlands" aka "Apple-ing for Titania" all over this message left on a porch in Ladd's Addition. This is urban sasquatch, friends. #pdx #ArtemisOfTheWildlands

In case you were wondering how the election turned out 👇

I learned to drive in snow by doing donuts on a bike in a parking lot in Japan. Also, driving in rain isn’t much different from sno, FYI. Fishtailing is fishtailing.

Would not want to be the McD's employee/bootlicker that turned in The Claims Adjuster... ...unless the guy was rude to him. Don't be rude to service staff, that's just crappy. #UHCShooter

Oh My God lmao

Accurate. Repost if you agree.

Today’s Journaling: Pen: Sailor Shikiori Tsukuyo-no-Minamo (月夜の水面 — water’s surface on a moonlit night), Shimoyo (霜夜 — frosty night). Stainless <F> nib. Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo (that’s right, another reading of the same characters — 月夜 — moonlit night)

Can someone please explain how the NYPD is justifying: 1. Nationalization of the manhunt for for the UHC shooter AND 2. Public support of aforementioned manhunt A private citizen was killed — there is no demonstrable public interest in committing more resources to this crime over any other.

Reposting for reach.

I’ve seen synth setups with worse cable management, tbh.

He will live in infamy because history is written by dispassionate scholars based on facts, not ideological political extremists living in their own reality. #NoNamesNeeded
