This photo of Glinner, aka Graham Lineham, trans harrasser from the UK who used to write beloved TV comedies, has a face of really unfortunate assymetry. His glasses look crooked but it's his eyes that are crooked. He looks like a flounder whose eye has begun migrating.
My uncle worked a second job as night watchman at the San Jose Contadina canning plant. He was so sleepy deprived that one night he saw a fire hydrant turn into a wee man and walk away. That's what I think of when I see one. Can't trust the fuckers.
People leave things on graves. A honey bear is a new one on me. A little weird but touching.
There's a new "viral" headline trope that is all over the enshittified internet. Example: I REVIEW SUPPERATING WOUNDS FOR A LIVING AND THIS GASHED KNEE LEAKING PUS IS THE ALL TIME WINNER.
By the way @bsky.app the in-app photo editor refused to rotate the image to a better orientation. A shame bsky.app is such a rudimentary, buggy app.
Wicked grave marker

Remembering a simpler time, when we could laugh at a racist yutz for warning us about "taco trucks on every corner" I thought the world needed a tower of taco trucks. Original caption: "It's taco trucks all the way down"
British food is great! Kebabs! Vindaloo! Pad Thai!
This was an eyewitness account of Saturday night at Gabe's in Iowa city

Translated film title is "Crazy Fruit" I will steal that.
Darnielle channeling Herzog is not on my 2025 bingo card
All Bluesky is grass.
Yeah I gathered that, but I can't be the only person disappointed that isn't some kind of crazy experimental drum machine.
Impossibly young 20somethings absolutely going off for James Brown.

This is Andre Womack AKA DJ Drizzle. Don't know him but I have 100s of mutual friends on Facebook. The reason I mention him here is his Facebook profile picture game is TIGHT.
Someone this nebbish hasn't blocked tell me the text of the tweet I quoted? He was advocating throwing rocks at fascists as if that would solve anything.
Everything about this paragraph is stupid.
David Brooks suggests we use AI to detect mass shooters. And here I thought he'd already achieved peak uselessness. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
Maggie inspired Elvis Costello to write a song about stomping on her grave. youtu.be/pi_YQul7XXk?...
I think this was my favorite Clive Barker short story.
MAGA types say "He may do a little light rape for a treat, everything he says is a lie & he's doing everything Hitler did but X" Solve for X. What possible X could redeem him in their eyes? Causing inflation? Causing a recession? Putting a human fungus in charge of making America sick?
ICE, the modern day good ol' boy lynch squads.
@trilemma.bsky.social why does Elon look like Laurie Anderson?
I love her expression, like we're getting on her last nerve.
Wanting to watch MSPs piss is a weirdly specific paraphilia.
It was the first album in a long time that was actually hard to finish. Must be good, huh?
Since then, it's gone from an eccentric local attraction to being a nexus of whiteness.
When my kids were young I took them to the Dyersville farm where "Field of Dreams" was filmed. They ran the bases, played catch, & lived it even though it was a baseball diamond in the middle of nowhere.
If you build it, people who suuuuuck will come.

This is a glitch in the matrix
We should ban schools in schools.
Are we not restroom men? We are Devo!
Joe is a one man pirate radio in his back garden #ambient #experimental #lush
I wanted this to be a drum machine
Plenty of braindead and maniacs to go around
If your Senators are a maniac and a functionally braindead hack, you MAY be an Iowan.
There's a video of his whole set I posted the other day. Monk playing Ellington underlines how they were both geniuses. Monk was a huge Ellington fan.
There's literally a Bible verse about throwing stones. I've been hit by a thrown rock. I don't wish it on anyone.
Apparently Canada has a COVID vaccine approved that targets current strains. The US does not because of the ridiculous clown in charge of the HHS department. Can I go to Grand Portage and get the shot?
I like that Catelin Drey looks like she plays bass for Haim. Check her back story, she definitely rocks.
Another music video reply youtu.be/Pf0_Be5PPPU?...
If he wasn't at Fabric in 2000 he can GTFO
The paradox of politicians who decide something beneath them, when in fact there's nothing beneath them. They're already at the bottom, the nadir, lounging on the all consuming void.
2023 Minnesota State Fair Crop Art. It's hard to top Prince on Unicorn, but Gopher Madonna cradling a corn dog is a banger.
And Jewish!
Ask any Old: the time between laying down and getting up because you hurt keeps getting shorter.
Reminds me of my Uncle Steve's favorite dumb joke: Does your face hurt? Because it's killing me!
Does it make you feel pretty?
An article I'll never read because compared to the headline the story can only be a disappointment.
Which I guess dovetails nicely with what you said.
Cocaine is a drug whose principle effect is to make assholes feel good about themselves.
He may be Trumpy, and that's a shame, but man, the ninja turtles are down, so he's at least legit on that level, right? And I've heard worse flows from middle aged white guys. Maybe we should give him that. youtube.com/shorts/BimD7...

And why hasn't Vanilla Ice recorded an ad for Dunkin Donuts? "ICE ICE COFFEE ICE ICE COFFEE"
Of course the next video in the YT playlist is Yuju Wang playing Philip Glass. The algorithm making my point for me. youtu.be/ozCirLYxSBI?...
Liszt basically did everything Philip Glass does first, and he did it backwards, and in heels. This is an absolute banger. youtu.be/ozCirLYxSBI?...
Replied to @themountaingoats.bsky.social thinking I was replying to @theblessedmadonna.bsky.social is peak not paying attention. Do think Madge should remix The Mountain Goats though.
The sound of Cracker Barrel is that bluegrass vampire family playing Ol' Dan Tucker until everyone dies.
The bonus song is not Monk, but Sarah Vaughn singing the Beatles song "And I Love Her." Monk's not even in the room but you can hear his influence in the primacy of the melody. Monk made songs new every time, without straying from its melodic essence.
In "Blues for Duke" it's a piano duet/battle with Joe Turner, where it's unpredictable who's soloing and who's comping. You can hear him drop in stabs to try and throw Turner, but Turner is unthrowable, and returns a few jabs of his own.
On top of that he plays "Crespicule with Nellie" with Ellington still on his mind. It's one of his set pieces, where he plays it almost the same every time. This time he drops in wild flourishes that never stray from the melodic skeletons.
Even better, Monk is playing Ellington songs. His love of the Duke is palpable, but he introduces dissonances that only work in his musical universe. He smashes minor 2nds that add an alien sweetness to the songs.
Actually, sound recordings are exempt from tarriffs coming from the UK but who knows. The whole international shipping industry doesn't know what to do with the Shithead's tarriffs and elimination of the De Minimis rule. Not satisfied with destroying democracy, they have to fuck this up.
A really great video of Monk Live. Starting about 10 minutes he has a passage that's swinging stride but he finds jarring atonal notes that just make it swing harder. youtu.be/ZzWjR6xO-BE?...
I think a native Francophone would put it a little differently, and would have a uniquely French expression as they said it.
What the world needs now: Eyeglass cleaning cloths that look like sandpaper. I didn't know they actually existed, but search turned up a brand you can use. nerdwax.com/products/san...
Everything sounds better en Francais "ce n'est pas grave si tu me détestes secrètement. il suffit que tu saches que j'existe."
@billgates.bsky.social OK so you've officially joined the party of "I really suck and care more about my wealth than the rise of fascism in the United State" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Anyone who drops DJ mixes or has a radio show can get a DL code for my new album if they ask. chaircrusher.bandcamp.com/album/por-qu...
Today I learned that the minor league team in Beloit Wisconsin is called the "Beloit Sky Carp." Sky carp is the local Wisconsin lingo for geese that don't migrate. Their logo is a goose holding a wrench.
If we're going on the amount of time that has passed, all you OG ravers are like middle-aged people in the 1970s who were still obsessed with Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey...
Those fuckers are all put of shape. Even I can catch them.
We should chase the far right to get fit.
#IDM not #IDNM, that means "Intelligent Dance No More"
I wish they'd stop trying to make fake leather smell like leather, and put more time into eliminating plastic from cars. From everything!
I think that shipping from the UK right now isn't working, because of the shithead, but if you're in the UK, fill your boots!
It me! #IDNM #AMBIENT #SYNTHSKY #HASHTAG
They look like a couple who hired The Olive Garden as a wedding venue. Bread sticks for everyone!
They would use the Japanese internment camps if they could. They're probably too swank for Stephen Miller, who wants people sleeping on bare ground.
Immersive art should be holding museum patrons heads under water. Their panic & struggle will resonate with the state of the world. No more than 30 seconds mind you. I'm not a monster.
I claim to be cooler than @sammorgancomedy.bsky.social Fight me.
Labradford. Heads still ain't ready.
Oh I wondered what it was about Lisa Cook that got on the Shithead's shit list. Her skin color. He can't handle anyone whose face is a color that's found in nature.
I like the XKCD thing of adding a second punchline in alt text.
There are a rules/templates for making techno, Late Arrival follows them. The point of this kind of of track is to use the cookie cutter but make something compelling & original nonetheless. #IDM #Techno #BandCamp #Electronic
Copland's Symphony #3 was playing on the radio while I was in the car wash, so I recorded the carwash noises with Copland. fennesz & @peteswans.bsky.social can suck it. This is a seamless loop if you convert to Wav. #NoiseMusic #CarWash #IDM #SynthSky cornwarning.com/xfer/Copelan...
Haven't slept a wink on years. Because of the patriarchy

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a must visit. I want to go back and walk that segment of the Appalachian Trail.
I approve of your chosen Bluesky handle.
