I just read this in its entirety, for the record

Punching everyone equally gives the appearance that everyone deserves to be punched. Just another form of “both sides” bullshit.

Folks are rightfully calling out the anti trans stuff and anti gay stuff, and the climate change stuff. But one that really sticks with me the most is when they punched down on alcoholics.

Basically they implied alcoholics should be able to enjoy a tiny bit of alcohol here or there, and called out alcoholics who completely abstain as being undiciplined losers.

As someone with outrageous amounts of alcoholism on both sides of my family, it doesn’t sit well with me at all.

Plus, Matt and Trey are Republicans, so fuck them.

everyone is gonna fuck up at least a tiny bit over years-long careers like these.

I dislike Jeff Geerling for his past homophobic religious blog posts. And I haven’t seen him apologize for them or make any sort of positive or supportive remarks about queer folks, ever, so I can only assume he still holds bigotry in his heart.

I adore Alec from Technology Connections. Maybe not the kinds of tech you’re referring to, but he and his videos are SO good.

Thanks! Went pretty well, I feel great after the show <3

It did! Not technically perfect, but none of us expected it to be, and we had fun and got nothing but positive feedback!

definitely feeling the importance of the bass player keeping the rhythm, especially when our drummer also does backup vocals (which still blows my mind that anyone can do that many things at once!)

getting ready to play bass in a cover band, we have an hour long set at a retirement home this afternoon. my first ever paid gig! definitely a tad nervous but it should be a good time

I have a Supernote Manta that I use for note taking mostly, but it also is a great ebook reader. No light on it at all, the optimized for look and feel of writing on paper really well so the tradeoff is worth it.

Recently I use it mostly for taking notes from music instruction and stuff like which synth patches to use for certain songs, or which settings to use to recreate sounds on a synth where no close-enough patch exists

It’s nice to have a focused device that doesn’t distract me nearly much as my smartphone

worse

yup, one thumb left and one right

futo keyboard has been great. bonus points for being able to swipe with two fingers simultaneously

i hereby jump to demonize your manager. he lied to you when he said it’s stealing and there’s no good reason for him to have done that

when was the last time you checked that? if you can toss me two or three artist names I can see if they’re on there now

Cancel Spotify if that’s what you use. I’ve been happy with Tidal.

Certainly not a magic bullet tho. I tend to not listen to a lot of new music so I don’t give the slop much of an opening.

no

I’d like to contribute this:

You do a massive disservice to humankind by perpetuating the lie that “you’ll get left behind”.

If you’re fighting it you’re going to be left behind.

Nah. But feel free to consider me left behind if it gets you to shut up.

yes

Does foot stuff count??

i hope there are at least a few animal dick jokes??

i don’t even know the context, and yes
