Paul taking a mirror selfie in an elevator. He’s wearing aqua Homme Plisse pants, a long sleeve 2026 Japan football away jersey, a black face mask, and a grey Dreamcast hat

First day of tour was a slap, and I got a fit off

I would love to just keep this card going, since this year will make 10 years since I first got it, but I simply will just download a Suica if this proves to be even a MILD inconvenience lol

Landing in Osaka in an hour, and hoping I can get my Pasmo reloaded at the airport, since they don’t wanna play nice with ANY foreign credit cards in Apple Wallet anymore

THROWING FITS 🙂‍↕️

and they only passed this law because video stores were going to out the porn-rental habits of Supreme Court justices!

My life would be so RADICALLY different if I had not recognised this.

For one, I would not be sitting on a plane to go play music about how me and them people are not friends anymore.

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

For your sake, I pray it’s not the Markham location

We should be learning from other countries...

Bluesky’s down? Can’t relate 🙂‍↔️

Hitting the road for my Asia Tour tomorrow, and had to make sure I was street legal 😈

Might require some CSS trickery like cells or something, but I believe in you

If you optically centre the sample text, you can left align “username”, and right align the rotating PDS, so that the length of the rotating text doesn’t interfere with the placement of the handle suffix.

Might be a pain to implement multiple text alignments on the same line though.

I would propose a 5th option (or, frankly, replacement for 4):

“Sign in with (your) atproto (account)"

These fucking Team Sports™ headass political actors will UNCRITICALLY ride for anyone, so long as they’re in the right jersey smfh

Acronyms are pronounced as words.
-scuba
-laser
-NASA

Initialisms are pronounced as individual letters.
-NFL
-TSA
-TGIF

'Acronym' is frequently used for both kinds of abbreviations, so it's ok to call an initialism an acronym.

The year is 2026, and there’s people in a Daquan comment section still crashing out about how the dancing in the viral Harlem Shake trend (c. 2013) was "not the real Harlem Shake”.

Oh hang on, apparently I’d already downloaded this before (and deleted it). I think I know why; no local file support without a subscription is NOT it

Never heard of it! One more to investigate!

Oh, replacing Adobe Fonts is DEFINITELY gonna fuck me up.

Unfortunately, I am not optimistic about the Illustrator replacements. I’m already having issues with the way Affinity imports my files, and other options (Inkscape, CorelDraw, VectorStyler) do not inspire confidence.

I already know Premiere is gonna get supplanted by DaVinci Resolve (when I get a chance to study up on it a little more). I’m gonna side-by-side some demos of Capture One, DXO Photolab, and Luminar Neo with all the photos when I get back from tour.

Working on de-Adobe-ing my life this year. Priorities are Illustrator, Lightroom, Premiere, and Photoshop (in that order).

After Effects, I’m just gonna have to charge it to the game I think.

Still some of my favorite fight choreography.

Today I learnt about a lofi beat maker in Australia who, completely inexplicably, signed a deal with Def Jam AUSTRALIA back in 2020. Predictably, she had a BAD TIME, and was fortunately able to get out of her deal last fall.

I have thoughts 🧵

I’ve had it sitting in my Plex for like two years now, cause I was supposed to watch it with a friend… and now we are not friends anymore hahahahaha

Hell yeah! I love a mixed media project, and I love this for you!!

On cassettes???

Anyway, really happy that artist is free to release her own music again. I hope her local beat maker community was able to learn from her misfortune, and rally around her to build protections in the scene for future up-and-comers.

The antidote to bedroom artists getting imprisoned by labels for half a decade is to establish community outfits that can have our backs, at an appropriate scale. Microlabels and monthly parties for an audience of 25. Artists travelling on tour, then sending their homies to follow.
