Music, software, progressive politics, and snark. Not necessarily in that order.

It’s the kind of day when I’m quoting Samuel Beckett to describe infrastructure architecture decisions.

Screen cap from the comments section of the latest Herschel Walker abortion allegations (via YouTube).

@Babsdeedee @SafetyAlertsMN We got it too, in Minneapolis. We live a few blocks west of the Ford Parkway bridge. Don’t know how widespread the alert was in Mpls.

@BillLindeke Just in the past week, the FBI arrested both a @MayorFrey advisor AND a @MayorFrey appointee, for embezzling MILLIONS! This is fantastic progress against crime!

Today, I got the wonderful news that not one, but TWO of my friends have beaten cancer!

And you know what? Fuck cancer anyway.

Blockchain cures cancer.

claiming "blockchain solves X" is prima facie evidence that you have no idea how to solve X

I watch tv as background noise while working, and I work at the same desk I use for audio mixing, so I listen on my excellent Focal monitors.

Now I get very judgmental about poor audio mixing on commercials.

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@PRamstad @BritCulp @webster iirc, FBI did not confirm location, other than "Mankato" and that it happened that day. They didn't confirm it happened at Hardees. I may be wrong; I am often wrong. But you may be wrong as well.

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@StarTribune We tried to warn you, but you didn't listen.

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@BullyCreative What I want to know is, if that WAS a patronage appointment, just what Frey was getting out of it? It may not have been as simple as a cash payment. And whatever the quid pro quo was, was it legal?

Can't say I'd cry to see @MayorFrey go down in disgrace for this.

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@TheCharlesDowns And while you're at it, maybe try to understand how Democrats hold their nose and vote D anyway, despite disappointment. Democrats don't write books about how their leader is actually the Second Coming of Jesus.

And we do NOT tolerate criminals in our party leadership.

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@TheCharlesDowns Perhaps a better question would be why the GOP is so utterly incapable of exploiting the obvious failures of the Democrats?

Have you considered having a PLAN, other than "At least we're not Democrats"?

[Sigh. @davestagner]

@ashleystollar I came from vinegar pie, but spent a lot of time with pork shoulder and burgoo. These days, I live with hot dish and banh mi.

@jamesurquhart Three-way switch on the back that changed clipping diodes for more or less gain (and significant tonal shift), plus a cap change for a bit more bass.

Now it's old and flaky, so I mostly use a Woodcutter, which gets VERY close while being modern construction.

@JonBurn75660188 @deenafaywinter Yeah, what if you’re just trying to do your job, and suddenly a farmer’s market broke out nearby? Or even *gasp* a taco truck? How can you possibly feel safe?
