Here’s the location for the Chicago meetup.

What we need is a very big wrench that we can throw into the gears of a very big data center. Or a very large guillotine.

Yeah, I read the second one. The first one seems like I need to focus more. But the general gist is reasonable/plausible. And I have no doubt it’s going to become ubiquitous and unavoidable and generally make existing under capitalism more harrowing. And given that I just sort of tend towards...

I am super disinterested in AI. I tend to be a late-ish adopter of tech. For instance, I didn’t own a cell phone until 2011. I never really stopped buying physical media. Also, doing “obsolete” and “unmarketable” things doesn’t freak me out. I have degrees in useless fields like English...

Dave Grohl is kind of a shitty partner per the stories his exes tell. He cheated on his first wife with Louise Post. He cheated on Louise Post with Winona Ryder. He obviously cheated on his current/most recent wife. I mean, he’s a drummer so we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s at least a...

All I know is that if Dave’s bastard tries to ascend to the rock throne once Dave dies, it’s gonna cause a war of succession. And it’s the peasants who will suffer as the Lords of AOR plunder the countryside while some tosspot spare heir tries their hand at becoming King of the Dad Rockers...

Meh. I mean, Violet Grohl clearly likes Wolf Alice, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, et al. Plus there’s hints of the typical “alt” band reverence for the QOTSA thing. Very industry plant/nepo baby vibes. It’s alright but unremarkable. So the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Watch it, @Motorik. This is a family forum. And right now you’re dancing with Mr. Deez.

I didn’t know Rod Stewart was a member here.

We can’t read books—because @smurfco never mails them to the next person. He’s basically the devil.

This is some airplane on a treadmill shit. I think the answer was in the Whales on Stilts book, but fucking @smurfco lost that shit when he pledged his soul to Danton. Moist ass.

All I know is that they’ve been shit since Roy Orbison died.

Well, hip hop has never been a great live draw and heritage acts milking the olds for megabucks is an established rock and roll tradition at this point. I’m guessing the overall haul and profitability for young/new bands not doing greatest hits VIP super expensive bullshit is way less impressive.

When is Beato gonna interview Porntoy?

See. Total Dick Nixon behavior. Corgan is talented. He works really hard. He’s got a chip on his shoulder and is seemingly never satisfied. These should be assets. But his neediness/insecurity/want/whatever is so curdled and weird that he cannot get over himself or perceived slights. So he...
