i know you don't believe me ... but ELEMENT47 just keeps getting better and better. it's like the podcast version of a numbers station e47.net

every war is weird in its own way but this is definitely Weird War One

a good name for a drug dealer guy would be God's Weed Love Eliver

something tells me if i was as money-obsessed as leslie benzies, i would TOTALLY believe that "any attempt by labor to organize" is exactly the same thing as "corporate espionage." i too would be nervous about divulging those "details" lol

it's not even an intentional conspiracy and it's 100% observably real, that's the worst part 😔

for me personally it's The Planning System

well, that does it. Lena Dunham's latest memoir rollout is clearly a psyop

no planets. just rocks

an agent just told me i have a "low 'this is stupid' reflex" and i am reminded that humans remain profoundly bad at volunteering valuable information

the rehearsal?

it's pronounced MUST-aik in this scenario. spelling remains identical

technically you rent-seek for* or with* a brand name, but the spirit suffices

"As numerous people have confidently lied, there is no value in the community nor the experience of the competitions. The only value is how much rent we can seek from the brand name, before we get bored and cash out by selling it to a cryptocurrency- or gambling-based class discontentment factory"

i still cannot figure out why (or even verify if! someday, perhaps) i am better at this "plain english programming" thing than the average bear. if i had to guess, it has something to do with me being among the best to ever do English, period, but nobody likes that guess *at all,* especially me.

there it is. in one post. THIS is why we can't have nice things on the internet! thanks Jimmy!

if you really do the math, john darnielle is essentially the pope leo of music

people pretending Slay the Spire I was good was fine. people pretending Slay the Spire II — the exact same game, with the exact same mechanics/progression and the exact same art assets — is somehow ALSO good is fucking infuriating, but luckily also hilarious

stickles says +@ is catalog classics only for the foreseeable

he may be onto something

... surely, Oasis were the Beatles of Pavement's generation? what am i missing about everything here

the submarine pickup is the other viable option, but imx the polyoctave into a bass amp is the only one that actually "fools the crowd." be forewarned 13-pin guitars are not getting any easier to find ... and there will eventually be many of them in your house if you pursue this life path

sadly it is not much to look at ... but yes youtu.be/uHktGzL3MEU?... roland 13-pin pickup into PolyOctave pedal. taken me about 8 years and counting to get it right

meanwhile i play bass and rhythm guitar simultaneously at every show and they won't even let me subscribe to tape op

trust me: the only musical skill you can't buy is being terrible at every instrument and audio recording paradigm ... oh and not knowing what sounds good or why. priceless

the geese thing DEFINITELY proves that many people have forgotten (or given up remembering) how to find, or listen to, new music (and very little else)

just saw an employee of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon say the show has gotten "7 billion views in 2026 thusfar" had never realized just how worthless the "views" metric could be!

yep, finale was sunday. my theory is it will be an anthology 🤞
