I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

The Digimon movie is such a tire fire in general, I love telling people about it but I always feel myself getting crazy eyes

It's nightmarish, also I only know it from the Digimon Movie Incident

Today is 04/18

I've never really tried working with loops and samples but it really is a magical craft

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

Bottle of reds, a bottle of whites
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In *our* Italian restaurant

I looked at a recipe site from 1996 today and it loaded so fast I thought something was broken

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

But my current crew is mostly about Kirkwood so I am leaning towards a tahoe local pass plus 2 or 4 days at ikon but oh my GOD it's so much stupid fucking money I hate it I hate it

this year I got a four pack at each and pathetically only skied 2 out of 8 days because getting to tahoe is actually kind of a pain in the ass

I got 72 minutes to pick

godddddddd fuck the ski pass monopoly

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

an image split into 4, with my art from 2021-2024 in each corner. they are all drawings of the same scene: a hairless rat named Neil, playing a purple toy piano

i think it's pretty cool to see the evolution of my art style through my annual neil art over the years!

maybe we’re all just banging out the tunes in our own way

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.
