Keep running through design iterations for my ideal personal jukebox. It's one part on-demand whatever I want, 2 parts playlists-as-radio-stations. Think I've identified all the piece I need to do that, just need a little time to pull that all together. Will be pretty sweet if I can find time to do it.

Now, when the mother in law asks for “some nice music, something nice”, she’s means early 90’s Eurodance. She’s in her 80’s. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I disagreed with Trump pretty strongly that America was a garbage country on Monday. By Wednesday I’ve begrudgingly come to see that he was right.

That set list is strong enough to make any sane person overlook how absolutely insane the premise of Mama Mia is. Watched a few minutes of that with the MIL and thought maybe I had an undiagnosed concussion.

Will need to follow up and see if she means The Bee Gees would win TODAY (Barry vs all 4 members of ABBA) or a hypothetical 1975 rumble at the peaks of their powers.

Mother in law confirmed what we all long suspected - The Bee Gees could take ABBA in a fist fight if it came down to it.

"We are sorry to tell you about a privacy event."

Yeah I'll bet you are. Sorry to tell me, that is.

Also,. "privacy event"? What in the "officer involved shooting" hell is this?

Watching the DNC and can’t escape the feeling that a Republican found a monkeys paw 8 years ago. He hated Obama, hated Clinton, and wished for a candidate to unite the country and defeat her. If you think about it, you can imagine all the shitty wishes between then and now. Feel like the last wish might’ve been for Trump to defeat Biden in 2024…

With Tony Hawk shilling statins, the race is on for the first gen-xer to pitch term life insurance. I hope it’s Janeane Garofalo.

Specifically - Pat Sajak. Dropping hints and naming names.

Mother in law is kind of mad this Cheesecake Factory doesn’t have piss-warm ginger ale on tap. We’ll need to fill out a survey or something to ensure this oversight never happens again.

you’re a fossbro if your main problem with the Torment Nexus is that people should be using OpenTorment or LibreNexus instead

Sometimes I think about how much it sucks that the world never got to see Freddie Mercury become an old queen. Or an old Queen. Freddie Mercury as grand marshal of Pride parades would have been an event.

@jwz In addition to how great he made everyone else sound, his own guitar tone on the Shellac albums is top 5 all time. Absolute legend.

Better Man by Pearl Jam would be a way better song if it was Better Man by Toad the Wet Sprocket.

You're getting unfiltered truths here, folks.

You ever get the vibe that game show hosts are just wildly unpleasant to be around when they’re not hosting game shows?
