#AI has had the unintended effect of making me doubt every “amazing” video, #reel, clip, and #TikTok post that I see. No more excitement over cat videos, stunts, and incredible feats miraculously captured on camera. #viralreels #trendingvideos #catvideos #skeptic

Something you don’t anticipate after the deaths of your sibling, mother and father - when traveling with your wife and son - is that you no longer have any emergency contacts to provide (requested by the airlines). You’re an orphan by attrition. #grief #loss #family #travel #sorrow
For those in #Austin wondering about #airport #delays, we got here at 7:30a & made it through clear in about 10 minutes. Lines are longer than normal but #TSA pre-check line wasn’t completely full. Apparently it was bad at 4 AM but not 730. #austinairport #atx #hiddengem #tsa #abia #airportdelays
From #NickCave:
"So, right now, my crucial question to you all is, “Have you seen #EPiC, Baz Luhrmann’s new film of #Elvis Presley in concert?”
My best advice to you, Benny, and everyone else. Just go, truly, just go and see it.
Love, Nick" www.theredhandfiles.com/question-you...
Frank Zappa’s father was a chemist for the department of defense.
So much “winning.” 🙄

I call it loopholism. Politicians & lawyers look for what the law doesn’t explicitly forbid to justify their actions. We reward cleverness over character, winning over fairness. Just because something is technically not against the law doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. #loopholes #loopholism
AI has made me overly skeptical of all cat videos. Joy destroyer. #AI #catvideos
Songs I blast - but only with the windows rolled up tightly. #guiltypleasure #Playlist #nostalgia #GenX #embarrassing

Rest easy, Robert Duvall. #RobertDuvall So many great roles - but the one that had the most profound effect on me as the son of a military father was “The Great Santini.” youtu.be/35ts0eEa2Xc?...
My son asked me what my favorite song is. This I what I told him: PJ Harvey - Horses In My Dreams - Live youtu.be/YzRNXbtOIOY?... via @YouTube #PJHarvey
It’s amazing how many people get caught doing stupid sh*t on camera. Theft, adultery, vandalism, racist actions, drunk foolery, & violence. So here’s my recommendation:
*ASSUME THAT YOU ARE ON CAMERA WHENEVER YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME* #behave #privacy #camera #caughtoncamera
Welp, too much news these days so I had to go back to the dark side. Find me on Twitter/X here: x.com/dennislmyersjr
I’m really surprised that famous musicians and guitar players don’t offer to sell their used strings as memorabilia. A professional musician typically has new strings for every single show and I can only imagine how many sets of frequent player has thrown out.
If a “meteorologist” studies the weather, then what do you call someone who studies meteors?
Welcome to Austin!
In that hazy space between sleep and waking up, I just realized that #Radiohead’s “creep” rips off the melody of #TheHollies “The air that I breathe”

Uh oh, Darn Tough. Barbara ain’t happy.
Because pets can’t drive.
Still wrecked from watching “Big Fish” this morning. Beautiful, frustrating, hilarious & sad, I never thought a film could nail the spirit of the conversations I had with my dad over the last few months but the film helped me reconcile the sadness and hurt left in his wake.

I just caught myself singing “Time Warp” from the #RockHorrorPictureShow in the voices of Eddie Vedder (“let’s do the Time Warp again” in a hard Vedder yarl) and Adam Sandler (“It's just a jump to the left…” in Sandler’s baby talk gibberish). My son thinks I’m insane.
On a big #RichardThompson kick lately. I guess as a “guitarist’s guitarist,” we all end up at RT eventually.
