Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Please dont bring those mf tanks to Baltimore, the roads are already bad enough from all these trucks in the city that can't take the key bridge anymore and if I see one more detour sign imma lose it.
Oasis was great. Getting rear-ended on I-95 on the drive home was not great.
Little Manhattan run while we're in the city!
Also I got an incredibly cute video of him throwing down to "Pale Horse" from the new album this morning. Kid's ready to hit the Ottobar.
The lad and I went over to Celebrated Summer at lunch to grab one of their limited variants of the new End It album. We got the second-to-last one. Hell yeah.
Friday let's gooooo
Good mail day! @flatspotrecords.bsky.social
I don't know what possessed me to listen to Evanescence's 'Fallen' while running, but I still know way more of that album than I'd expected. I'm sure the people of Charles Village enjoyed me emoting to "My Immortal."
I'm beyond "guilty pleasure" at this point. If I like it and it's not hurting anyone, life is too brutal to feel bad about pleasure.
My house has a few network cables run through the walls, and the one that goes between three floors for the second AP is having issues. Not looking forward to re-running that!
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Not mean enough, I'd say.
The best alternatives to Spotify for listening to music
AI better get out of my face.
Copilot is in Paint also but you can't turn it off because these are the full settings options for Paint:
Good morning from Walter.

Much like Strava, Spotify is another place where no one needs DMs, ever.
Jumped on that pre-order, hell yeah!
Hi! We’re stoked to announced ‘Routine’, our third LP. You can listen to our new single “T-60” now, and pre-orders for vinyl, CD, and tape are available: brokenrecord.bandcamp.com/album/routine We’re so proud of this record and can’t wait until y’all can hear it in full 🖤 Thanks!
CNN awful chill about us getting a gestapo
I always have a nearly uncontrollable need to somehow prove that I'm not like those *other* users needing repairs.
Any day I have to start by messing around with a bunch of regex is not a good one.
This is deeply disturbing
Hell yeah End It rules
More :)
Meanwhile, what new jams are we into today?
Banquets are back with a new record coming, HELL YEAH GET STOKED.

Wanna learn some wild "tea" about wealthy Baltimore institutions, think seriously about historical reckoning, AND help me pay rent?? Come on the new "Baltimore's Confederate Shadows" tour soon:
Boy this new Ava Max album is a real step down from 'Diamonds & Dancefloors,' huh.
It's Friday y'all
Trump Mobile’s fake iPhone is now a fake S25 Ultra
I would have expected better vetting from @wired.com.
Yeah, I was also unfamiliar, but I'm checking them out and digging it!
"If a US citizen or green card holder refuses a search, they cannot—at least in theory—be denied entry to the country. However, their devices may be seized temporarily, and they could be subject to extra questioning. Foreign visitors can face detention or deportation for refusing a search."
End It rules so much. Stoked as hell for the album!
Just more and more AI crap being shoved into the phones.
All the Pixel 10 stuff has me really thinking about going to some weird third-party fork of Android.
I am looking for work for the fall! Let’s make something so insanely cool together that everyone gets jealous
Happy to help!
Considering a trip up to Boston in the spring for the Belle and Sebastian shows...
I think the most surprising thing is "oh, *just* the 10k?"
I wasn't going to run at the Baltimore Running Festival, but looks like I'm doing the 10K now. Let's gooooooo.
oh boy www.law360.com/articles/237...
The fucking protein powder has a shrink wrap arbitration agreement now? This is like a nightmare law school hypo
ICE detain 2 year old Canadian toddler for 51 days—more than double legal time allowed. Another 3 year old child was locked up for 4 days—in holding room meant for detention under 12 hours. "I don’t want to die here," 13 year old said in written testimony—held for weeks. #cdnpoli
How's LibreOffice looking these days?
Stop it. Bad Microsoft, bad.
Really haven't felt creative this summer due to general existential crises, so I'll be dumping the last bunch of ideas that fell out of my brain this spring before the bad stuff took over Did a Bjork run. Will i ever actually print these? Who knows anymore
"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."
This is a great song and I also think more people should hear it.
I had the same reaction at your post!
This is a good excuse to go look at pictures of my beloved old cat, Hermione. She was such a sweet lass.
It's Friday, what new jams are we listening to? Got the new @poolkidsband.bsky.social going right now.
To my fellow Plex admins
It's Friday, you know how we do.
RFK Jr. is actively trying to kill children. His ignorance is not a defense because he has killed children before. Over 5700 infected and 83 dead — most of them children — in the 2019 Samoa measles outbreak Kennedy caused. He knows what he’s doing. Don’t let him kill your kids.
Also there's fundamentally no way for an LLM to produce anything "new." It only can produce the most viable midpoint (or recognizable version of) a prompt based on the existing data. No matter how you train it, you're always going to be iterating old data. New stuff can only come from imagination.
The breach of the US Courts records system came to light more than a month after the attack was discovered. Details about what was exposed—and who’s responsible—remain unclear. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...
RT if you feel like this
In the UK, the water shortage is so bad that the government is urging citizens to help save water by deleting old emails. It really helps lighten the load on water hungry datacenters, you see. 🔗 www.404media.co/uk-asks-peop...
What do you want to know about...everything...that's going on in this economy? We're working on a special for this weekend -- listener questions wanted. Here's the frame: what are the *real costs of what's happening. hmu

Got some sweet prints by @egallagher.bsky.social that I'm excited to hang up! Now to figure out where.

Back at it for Never Miss a Monday! I really like short runs in the Novablasts, they're so bouncy and fun.
Went to Baltimore on wplace out of curiosity
I'd never run in my hometown before, and haven't even set foot here in years. So while the kids played at the park I did a few miles. Ran down to my old middle school. It was weird. And listening to Less Than Jake felt appropriate.
Vacation grid. I haven't listened to much!
We went back and had another dozen and a half today 🦪
I do so love the Red Inn 🦪

Hey everyone. Got some unexpected medical bills coming up soon so if anyone can help out I’d appreciate it. It’s BandCamp Friday which means I would get 100% of whatever I’ve been given. Please consider getting some tunes! perpetualstu.bandcamp.com/track/worse-2
Here's some new hardcore from Baltimore, courtesy of PEARL pearl-music.bandcamp.com/album/love-g...
Yoooooo
I'll always give new Ghostface a listen
It's @bandcamp.com Friday, what are we getting today? Just snagged the new EP from Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion

The week in jams -> the month in jams.
I would follow Ms. Rachel into hell.
What's funny is you can tell exactly why it output this string. When it stole literally all of Stack Overflow, it stole tons and tons of people's explanations of how to make a program that produces random character strings. One of the easiest ways to do so, contains *this* ASCII string.

Oooof, I can only imagine. One reason I'm glad I rarely have to engage with end users anymore. Strength to you in these times.
i don’t know if rowlf singing “what a wonderful world” to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe it’s both. i think I needed both.
I'm outrageously stressed about vacation, so of course it was a great idea to add an even more stressful trip to see the family onto it.
Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...
Hell yeah.
Almost certainly. I associate them with Buckcherry, etc.
I am jealous that you can read the name Hinder and not immediately hear their god-awful "Lips of an Angel" in your head.
