Kind of disappointed that I'm apparently missing some impressive organ music in monsterdon tonight, but I just wasn't up for it.

I love that stuff.
To make you all jealous: when I was in grad school CSU renovated a former high school into an arts center and built in a pipe organ. To inaugurate it they had an organ concert for Halloween. And it was one of the coolest concerts I've ever been to.

@SRLevine ooh that must have been fantastic. An organ concert in a cathedral made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

V8 Jeep > V6 Jeep apparently

In a 2003 version of the song I Hate This (M-Phatic Mix) the lyrics bemoan politicians selling their souls for “a V6 Jeep”. In a later version of the song, the lyrics bemoan politicians selling out for “a V8 Jeep”.

Why the change?

Imagine it was a DaimlerChrysler exec writing to the musician: “You better change that to our flagship V8. Now a Grand Cherokee, that’s a Jeep worth selling your soul for!”

I assume the 90s census asked “Are you a bitch, a lover, a child, or a mother?” and Meredith Brooks was like “This question is impossible to answer.”

So my cousin set up my grandmother with a Roku box for TV. She’s enjoying Freevee and news apps and YouTube.

How can I buy her specific shows or movies that she misses? Amazon? Some other service? It’s gotta be user-friendly.

(All of it’s worth getting her off satellite TV because she’s stopped watching Fox News.)

@kemotep @x00001

Normally I would agree (I buy physical media myself).

In this case there’s the hassle of sending and setting up a player, and teaching her about switching inputs when she wants to watch news instead of a show.

I’m not concerned about longevity either in this case. I’m not building a solution for 10 years, this is just something she’ll care about for a couple of years at most.

You’re telling me Discord continuously tries to determine your age and gender? In my day we just had to send “A/S/L?” to find that out.

It was cool how, 25 years ago, Hollywood decided that every movie needed some big beat electronic songs in the soundtrack.

Okay, the trend was overused. Dramas, comedies, action, even romcoms!

Still. I liked it.

Was just crossing the street (at the crosswalk) and this asshole in his muscle car cut me off turning left, then to show off he revs his engine and accelerates quickly past me.

Amazing someone like that is allowed to operate a vehicle. I’m getting really tired of this shit.

"Thanks all, bye!" has become the default Zoom sign-off phrase. I wonder if that'll become imprinted into our vocabulary and eventually lose its original context.
