Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I have never lived anywhere near Washington, D.C. I grew up in deep southeast Missouri; lived in southern Illinois; lived in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years; and now live in Minnesota. I don't know why the map put me far east of where I've ever lived. 220
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I was walking along a rough path on my property on Saturday morning, tripped over a root, and broke my fall with my face. I'm looking a bit worse for wear today . . . But you should've seen the other guy! 471
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I have a kind of vintage telescope setup: a Celestron C6 refractor on a Byers equatorial mount. I set it up this afternoon to do some moon-gazing tonight. 150
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 12/07/2026For some reason, the death of Lindsey Graham reminded me of this tweet. 000
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Judge Cannon isn't going to impress anyone with her prose style . . . 130
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Pattie was clearly using Patagonia's marks for a commercial purpose. 120
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Patagonia was apparently perfectly happy to work with Pattie to allow them to use the "Pattie Gonia" persona. They even reached an agreement to that effect. But then Pattie breached that agreement. I can't see that Patagonia is at all in the wrong here. 130
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 22/05/2026@rahaeli.bsky.social nailed it: This is incendiary. Consider this: 040
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026For some reason, LinkedIn thinks that I want to follow this "luxury lifestyle advisor" who buys his suit jackets from the boys' section and his ties from the napkin bin. 010
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 17/03/2026That ol' boy could take off his sunglasses, 'cause the judge sent him some deep shade . . . 0283
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 06/03/2026I don't see that at all. In fact, it appears to hold chatbots to precisely the standard to which natural persons are held: 220
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Oh, those quotation marks around "award-winning" . . . storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 120
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Someone who quotes my post but doesn't allow quote posts. Someone who also doesn't understand jokes. Go fuck yourself, asshat. 140
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Me and my father in about 1960 or maybe 1961. 080
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Here's a photo of me and my brother (last one still living) down on the farm. I must've been about four. I told you I grew up poor . . . 1170
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 02/01/2026I mentioned that I was born on a farm. Here I am on that farm with my brother Al. He was wearing his fancy shirt. I had to make do with one suspender and a stick. 050
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Pancake (in jacket) and Éclair asking me why I'm not giving them All of the Treats at this very moment. 250
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 03/12/2025In which Olivia Nuzzi compares herself to a cockroach. Fair enough. 132
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Good grief, but Olivia Nuzzi is a terrible writer. And she needed an editor: the "it" in "It had been a blizzard . . ." does not have a clear antecedent. "It' appears to refer back to "place," but that doesn't make sense. She meant: "I was born during a blizzard." Very sloppy. 051
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Yeah. And Olbermann never saw it either. But he has this one tattooed on his forearm: 040
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 13/11/2025The northern lights are visible, although less intense than they were last night. View over the lake. 170
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Astyanax might have a comment on the issue of Odysseus's heroism. 1141
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 18/09/2025I finished assembling a new guitar from parts--a partsmaster, as they're sometimes called. The body is based on a Fender Jazzmaster. I bought pickups from a small maker named Malinoski; they're based on old DeArmond gold-foil pickups. I like the sound. 470
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 29/08/2025I'm . . . umm . . . not quite sure how many guitars I have . . . My favorite right now is probably a partscaster that I put together: Meteora-style body; neck from Guitar Fetish; Charlie Christian-style neck pickup; lap-steel-style pickup in the neck from Mojo Pickups in England. 250
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 07/10/2024My old friend Darryn came up for a visit this afternoon. I was able to show him my place, and we went for an early dinner at my favorite local Mexican place. He's one of the great people of this world. 160
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 30/09/2024New (to me) Dean Palomino. The weather has been superb the last several days here in central Minnesota. Supposed to cool off tomorrow. I thought that I'd spend some time on the deck this afternoon. 030
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 11/09/2024Kinda makes me think of this photo. Shot on a Nikon S2 with the 5cm lens at f/1.4. I think that this is the best photo that I've ever taken. 010
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 11/09/2024I set up my Sinar in my yard a few days ago to try to get some apples in the trees. 010
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 11/09/2024Nice! Here's a shot that I took a few years ago, showing my Nagaoka "Woody" 4x5. I was in the Badlands. 110
Daniel Gunter @azathothsdaddy.bsky.social · 29/11/2023The Schechter is not my style. And it's hard to say about the Zemaitis: some look cool to me, but others don't. But I'm into old grungy stuff. 130
