I’ve mentioned before that our son Boone is in his music school’s house band. Well, they just got a gig at the motherfucking world famous Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood! So, if you’re in LA, come down to the Whisky Oct. 4.

The Doors,
Janis Joplin,
Led Zeppelin,
Van Halen,
Guns N’ Roses,
…and now the school house band. Fucking fantastic.

[Obviously, this photo is NOT from The Whisky, it’s just an awesome shot of the band.]

@Skepticat Thanks! I'm so proud of them.

These drug names are giving strong “Japanese game designer came up with American sounding names” vibes.

Screencap from a ‘90s-era baseball video game showing player names that look like gibberish, but also sound wholly American.

Trump’s inmate number is P01135809 and now Elon knows what to name his next child.

I accidentally called the TV remote a “clicker” and an AARP membership letter just appeared in my hand.

I feel like demise of The Platform Formerly Known As is just the most high profile sign of a larger inflection point: The death of .

Has anyone else noticed is almost all ads now? (Well, ads and really bad attempts at comedy.)

Sure, had an influx but has yet to actually take over. is, well, TikTok — all influencers influencing other influencers. is floundering...

retreated to its shell like a scared turtle worth a fraction of its sale price. And no one's seriously using anymore and has become shorthand for "place your racist uncle posts Fox News stories."

Personally, I've noticed I don't really need social media like I used to. I left Facebook eons ago, then after leaving Twitter for Mastodon, I found I'm posting less and less and not missing anything. There's no FOMO...

I'm kinda relieved when I pick up my phone and use it to play solitaire rather than doom scroll (or regular scroll) the few social apps I still have. And when I DO check those social apps, there' no draw.

I genuinely don't care what ANYONE posts anymore, even people I care about. And that feels very healthy.

These days, if I want to interact with family or friends, I call or text or, better still, hang out with them in real life. And I don't feel the need to always document everything...

We live in a fairly conservative part of LA County, so we’re constantly walking on eggshells. Though, we recently met a couple who let it slip that they voted for Biden and we sighed with relief. Then, we all laughed together while we drank baby blood and handed out socialist abortions.

I mentioned our son Boone plays guitar in the boys’ music school house band.

Well, they’ve been playing gigs outside of school functions and they just played at a local bar/pizza joint. For their closer, they debuted a new addition to their set: Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name.”

As soon as they started, the fucking kitchen staff, bar manager, and others ran out and started moshing.

@wx1g YES, it is! And our guys leveled up so fast (because of the style of teaching) that, when they were 8 or so, they were the youngest kids to graduate up into the teen performance group.

My wife and I have the same TV watching schedule every night. We spend an hour looking for something to watch, then give up and just watch something we've already seen.

@ozofriendly Oh. My. god. You are the best for this.

I have seen some of these (and The Bear?! I mean how great is that show?), but many we haven’t watched. So, thanks! You’ve changed our evening routine.

I just learned there is a type of in called Shima Enaga and it is so goddamn I'm pissed that I'm just now learning about it. Look at it. LOOK AT IT! IT'S MADE OF SUNLIGHT AND SASS!

Another little fuzzy white bird listening to you tell a joke.
Another little fuzzy white bird dive-bombing your heart.
Another little fuzzy white bird just glad to see you.

It looks as though has a secret account on which he pretends to be a 4-year-old boy, in case you thought the world actually wasn't just getting exponentially shittier each day.

I know everyone is slagging content generators, but I once asked an AI to generate a for me in an existing format and it created the best meme ever.

I’m old enough to remember when food hacks were called “recipes.”
