His name is Lowly. And he has very eccentric tastes in cars.

In California license plates are just wild! One is aspirational and one aspires to be a real license plate one day.

Hoping you made it to the old Pueblo safely. One of these trips it might be one where I’m in town, but it won’t be this one.

IIRC in that world the peasants all get an AI voice but the elite are the ones who pay for a bespoke experience with real humans behind the digital facade. It’s been *years* since I’ve re-read The Diamond Age, I know what I’m bringing with me on vacation. (I re-read interface this year, man…)

I will say that era of my life, living within walking distance of Armageddon, 950, Reckless, The Stars Our Destination, The Vic, Berlin, 99th Floor, Moon Mystique, and so much more, all while being on staff at IN, was… basically a dream come true.

Once upon a time I lived half a block down Belmont from them. We will not talk about just how much money Pam and co willingly took from me on a regular basis.

Was released in ‘94, I found my copy in ‘96, was released in the US in ‘97… The number of albums I paid import prices which later saw US release… *sigh*

Weird random tangentially related question: Did H-A-L-O’s Immanent even get a nom back in the ‘94 tourney? (This was a Graham Lewis side project, I picked up this album on the advice of the staff of Armageddon Records, and sometimes feel like no one else even knew it even existed).

That sounds WAY creepier when I read it than how it sounded when it was just a thought in my head. (I am a few months older than Zia, and I know how old I was in 1988… was all that I meant by my comment).

As I am currently dogless, I have a favorite picture of a dog I sit for semi-regularly. This is Sam. Sam LOVES the beach. (That’s my daughter, she’s awesome too).

A picture of a teenaged girl watching the ascending tennis ball that she just launched toward the surf and a dog, mid leap, chasing after the ball into the surf.

I just went searching to see if this album was being talked about. Because like you, it’s one of a handful I’ll stan for.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Gamecat @gamecat235.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This whole album is one of those ones which is so obscure that when you describe it to people (there’s even a Smiths cover!) they think you were probably on drugs and hallucinated it. And it’s fucking amazing. And very late 80’s (in every possible way).

Also, for the record, we have Global knives. This little vegetable Santoku knife from ikea outshines the rest of our knives like its only purpose on this planet was meant for this.

Prepping mirepoix, listening to SVIIB, and the smell of slowly boiled chicken… Very few things root me as much as this does.

100%. Every. Single. Time they mention a custom track design mode as a teaser (which they have done multiple times across many releases) I always hope that it will be large enough to accommodate Complex String… What I wouldn’t do for that track in a modern game…

Imagine taking that viper all the way around Laguna Seca, near perfectly. That was just one of the ten time trials. They were evil.

Gran Turismo 3. I still have flashbacks of complex string. And do NOT get me started on the viper at Laguna Seca… I have no idea how many nights it took to get those. @oldbeardy.bsky.social any guesses as to just how many hours we sunk?

Half of our household is GF, so I’ll check the usual places. I’m used to reading labels and looking for odd foods.

Noted. And I wasn’t exaggerating. I’m intrigued. And kind of worried.

My belief is that you need to raise them to just be individuals who are responsible for their own actions. And then guide them gently along the way. My son marketed and sold these when he was in college (late 2010’s) as an attempt at a side hustle (he sold more than a few, and wore them proudly).

Near the bottom of the page. It’s quite a leap to argue that highly compressed means that it isn’t readable. Unless they mean that it was more than *just* compressed.

What is the FARE Program?
What type of information was in the FARE Program data set?
The data includes sensitive information about individuals referred to the FARE Program, such as case numbers, names, and social security numbers.
The data was copied from a back-up server where highly compressed information is maintained. The court has no evidence that any data has been accessed, is readable, or has been shared. No court records were deleted or altered.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Gamecat @gamecat235.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Reading the FAQ, they are opining that the database was “highly compressed”(and therefore not readable. Which is, objectively, fucking *hilarious*, but enough that I’m still using “potentially”).

121

Your Friendly Neighborhood Gamecat @gamecat235.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

So basically the information of anyone who has ever interacted with the FARE program in the last 30 years, plus the details of a bunch of protective orders, and who knows what else, potentially were compromised? JFC.

Everyone demanding Senator Schmidtt apologize to Jack Smith are again setting the bar too low. They should be demanding his resignation from the Judiciary Committe. He's unfit to serve Pound the table. Make some noise. Turn this into a multi-day story

In answer to the OBVIOUSLY rhetorical question, clearly not fucking Eric Schmitt. (I say while wearing my Megan Rapinoe jersey.) I should never feel imposter syndrome ever again. This motherfucker is a US Senator and the former Missouri Attorney General. And he’s dumber than a pet rock.

This is ferocious and empathetic piece. “In every study I have conducted with survivors, the participants whose parents told them “not to drink too much” or “not to use Tinder” were…the least willing to tell their parents about their assaults—and the tips did nothing to keep them safe anyway.”

Youngest came home from high school today and asked me what I thought of the Cornell 57. I know where they stand on the other 50 on the group chat. Men suck. We need to do better. Rape culture is so pervasive. And Cornell? Holy fucking shit, they are fucking *terrible*.

This is how I find out that William Orbit passed away this summer? I… Well fuck. The world is better for having had him in it, but we are worse off now that he is gone. Gonna go off and listen to Toward The Unknown Region for the 5000th time and start trying to acknowledge that era is truly gone.

Number 50 was THE MAN. The fact that I still remember his jersey number all these years later says so much about him and his legacy.

God. This takes me back. It’s like reuniting with an old friend. I need *terrible* headphones to really complete the experience. I miss this era of sampling. Ironically enough, pop did end up eating itself.

I’m stopping what I’m doing and re-listening to The Globe. Seriously. It’s been too long. I spent a summer in PDX with that tape as my primary companion and that album is one of a very few which gets better with every listen.

And I’m probably wrong because I’m still thinking like someone who learned math in the 70’s and 80’s.
