Mastodon doing a cover of Black Sabbath’s Supernaut with Mario Duplantier and Danny Carey joining for a drum solo is something I literally would not believe could ever happen. “who are your all-time favorite metal drummers?” that’s them. that’s all 3 of them, at the same time.

Just called my House rep about the budget reconciliation vote. They're D and already voting no, but like most Dems they're only pushing the "they're gonna make health care worse” talking point, and ignoring the whole “3x budget for ICE to build more concentration camps” thing. And the cuts to Planned Parenthood. And rolling back climate protections. And slashing funding for the CFPB. and and and and

Keep the pressure on.

Getting ready to release a font, having a lot of fun writing a license. Since I'm just A Guy, I can do things like "you can't use this for AI" and "you can't use this if you're a billionaire". 😎

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I've been using Glitch for at least 5 years, was a paying subscriber for much of that time. This fucking sucks. What an absolute waste of an amazing tool and community.

I somehow missed this, but uhhhh what the fuck

Democrats after Kamala’s loss: we need to change our approach and appeal to young voters and their economic concerns if we want to win elections.

Democrats after Zohran’s win: no, not like that.

We need to get ranked-choice voting happening at the city/state level ASAP, because there's zero chance the DNC gerontocracy is going to consider this as an official platform policy after last night.

New capacitor, we chillin’ like cucumbers again. 🥶👍🏼

NYC folks, don’t forget to vote Zohran and Lander, and don’t rank Cuomo AT ALL.

(No I don’t live in New York, I just think they’re neat!)

4th day of a 90F+ heatwave, so of course our AC’s capacitor decided to pop like a fresh biscuit.

I slept through the entire ceasefire.

@MichaelKlamerus Jury still out on Blippa, Blippe, and Bluppu.

Between Randy Fine and Laura Fine, my last name really is in the mud lately. Just some real pieces of shit. What happened to the good ol’ days, when we had stalwarts like Larry Fine and Fran Fine?

@MichaelKlamerus alternatively, perhaps this was the last chance to do so? so maybe that’s good? 🙃

I guess I picked the perfect time to start getting into stained glass art, because I have the feeling there’s gonna be a whole lotta glass soon enough.
