it would also be a cool optional thing for every show to be able to note/tag other users you saw that particular show with, and also note/tag users you ignored at the show because f them, and also note/tag songs that Trey flubbed the f out of, and also note/tag any user who vomited or passed out…

lol over my dead body if I made an effort to attend and attended the fucken show even for only a set eg cuz I missed most of the first set due to traffic (or cuz I knew the show would head downhill when Wading in the Velvet Sea began the 4th qtr and I bailed) the show still counts for my stats.

Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are taking the brunt of Hurricane Isaias, a category 3 storm. Thousands are without power already. It is expected to dump a crap ton (very technical term) of rain across the southeast through the weekend.

Alt Text:
An infographic map titled "WAFFLE HOUSES CLOSED" by Max Velocity, showing Waffle House restaurant status due to Hurricane Isaias as of Friday, October 9, at 2:37 PM CDT. The graphic notes a total of 53 closed restaurants across 6 counties.
The main area of the map focuses on coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, highlighting counties with closed locations in dark maroon with red dot markers, while open locations are shown as grey dots. Key cities labeled on the map include Mobile, Gulf Shores, Pensacola, Crestview, Destin, and Panama City.
A breakdown of closures by county at the bottom lists:
 * Escambia, FL: 18 closed (All 18)
 * Baldwin, AL: 13 closed (All 13)
 * Okaloosa, FL: 11 closed (of 12)
 * Santa Rosa, FL: 9 closed (All 9)
 * Escambia, AL: 1 closed (All 1)
 * Walton, FL: 1 closed (of 4)
 * Mobile, AL: 0 closed (All 23 open)
 * Bay, FL: 0 closed (All 11 open)
Fine print at the bottom states that store status is sourced from the Waffle House locator, non-storm closures elsewhere are excluded, and the Waffle House Index is unofficial.

A weather radar reflectivity map titled "REFLECTIVITY KEVX" showing severe weather conditions on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 7:13:02 PM CT.
An alert box in the upper right corner displays a Flash Flood Emergency for Okaloosa County, Florida, noting that it expires in 6 hours with a "Catastrophic" damage threat.
The map background displays heavy radar reflectivity (indicated by intense red, orange, and yellow pixelated bands). Green and orange outlined warning polygons enclose multiple coastal and inland cities in the Florida Panhandle, including Niceville, Wright, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Miramar Beach, Freeport, and Santa Rosa Beach.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

For reference, of the 500 problems in the link below, the OpenAI dump claims to prove 50 of them and disprove 29 by counterexample. 9 more have conditional claims and 39 are advanced. Biggest one fully proved is Hilbert’s tenth problem over ℚ, which is solved with "nah, too many variables bruh." 🤷‍♂️
