Grief is just not linear at all.
It’s more like being assigned a new permanent life partner who is a net drag on your day, and occasionally gets a wild hair to push you down a flight of stairs five minutes before a meeting.
Same.

I keep watching My Dinner with Andre on plane rides.
The airport you land in afterward absolutely hits different.
Get tix at www.eventbrite.com/e/nostalgia-..., and come out to the Summit Music Hall in Columbus, OH on Sunday, March 22 at 3:30PM ET to see me mix 55 minutes of morose #instrumentalhiphop alongside @luxuryelite.bsky.social, @luxurynoise.co, @crystaleternal.online, and more for Sanctuary Live '26!
FWIW I’ve been periodically saying “ratsheet” to myself all morning and I feel like a child who just discovered “not a bad word” to annoy their parents with
nooooo

definitely do not miss waking up to some random shitshow happening bc someone who perpetually acts like shit is hoping for an online war with everyone who ever noticed them doing that
The truth is, we couldn't be more proud of where Sanctuary will be calling home this year. This year the show will take place at Summit Music Hall, former site of Summit Station / Jack's / Logan's Off Broadway. 🧵
I love the weird versions of songs I hear when rendering hardware tracks and Ableton also plays back all the other audio in the timeline unprocessed.

Every week some shared Twitter nonsense is more unhinged than the last week’s Twitter nonsense.
It’s like looking inside the Animal Farm house… except everything is dumber …and grok keeps trying to rewrite the story to make the pigs seem like chill, principled heroes.
Additionally, we are selling some tees this year to commemorate the event! These will be available in very limited quantities at the show, so I recommend hopping on the pre-order if you don't wanna miss out! (closes 3/1)

Starting to see more and more band bios that look like they were written by the same ai conjuring up three paragraph “mystical” descriptions of all the candles that lady you know from high school - the one who used to sell the shitty leggings - is selling now.
If you wait long enough, someone else will sort out your genre label for you, and then you can watch the “ackshually” people argue with them about it while you make smug, uninvolved faces.
I feel like they could finesse it more, at least. Like moving the clock hands up a bit and then turning to the camera and saying something like “YOUR DOOM DRAWS NEARER!!! HEED THE PORTENTS!” in Skeletor voice or something…
