Continuing my lifelong pursuit of staying on the bleeding edge of pop culture, I’m checking out this obscure band “Geese” - any recommendations?

There is a fine line between trying to make eye contact with a cute guy and staring at them like a fucking psychopath. I think I sometimes cross that line. :(

Off to San Jose to see a Pink Floyd laser show. It’ll be cheesy as hell I know, but it’s been a bucket list item of mine since high school. *cue laser sound effects* #pinkfloyd

So I finally started watching Community (I know…) and I forgot how awesome it was to binge a new show that has like 25 20-minute episodes per season.

As someone who works in IT support - developers are the absolute worst. lol Like what do you mean you have 8 versions of Java SDK installed and you don't know if you can delete the one from 2016 that has a list of vulnerabilities longer than a CVS receipt.

Streaming and vinyl can coexist. Vinyl: listening to the incredible Kinks record “Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround” in its entirety. Streaming: saying fuck it and listening to the song “Strangers” from said Kinks album on a loop for an hour straight. @thekinksofficial.bsky.social

The cover of the album “Lola Versus Powerman and The Moneygoround” by Kinks. One of the best albums ever recorded. GO LISTEN TO IT NOW.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Gotta finish it off with Long Cold Winter. Singers from this era tried REAL HARD to get that raspy blues-soaked vocal style but Tom Keifer from Cinderella really nailed the Stephen Tyler meets Tom Waits aesthetic. I imagine his vocal cords looked like a jellyfish eating string cheese though.

I'm holding the classic Cinderella record, Long Cold Winter. The cover is a clean, off-white background. At the top, the band's name is written in their signature stylized, purple gradient font with sharp edges. Near the bottom, the album title is printed in a simple, elegant cursive script.

Some Sunday apartment cleaning music - from back when when America was Great and “men dressed like men.”

I am holding Poison's debut record Look What the Cat Dragged In. The cover shows four close-up portraits of the band members in heavy makeup and teased hair, arranged in a grid. The band name is in green at the top. The album title is printed in black letters around the white border of the square photos.

I am holding the debut album by Cinderella titled Night Songs. The cover features the four band members standing in a dark alleyway with purple and pink mist. They are wearing classic 80s glam outfits with big hair and leather. The band's name is in a stylized purple script at the top, and the album title is printed at the bottom.

Freddys bar taking reservations like it’s Studio 54. Ugh. So annoyed. First time trying to get a drink after a month of sitting at home and I’m in a mood already.

Why do I even try to go to Freddys in Arlington anymore? Every time it’s the same - missing bartenders, people holding stools for people who aren’t there, empty 2 and 4-top tables that stay “reserved” all night. It’s turned insufferable.

Finally got my staples taken out today, 3 weeks after my back surgery for my sciatica. I’m so excited to take a proper shower tonight. Still get really sore if I sit, stand, or lay down for too long - but I haven’t have any leg pain or numbness since I woke up from the anesthesia!

So much of TikTok is now just people stitching each other and saying “Epstein files mentioned wine corks and bleu cheese 12 times so bleu cheese must be a code word for eating baby feet” - and then three days of people confidently saying Corky Romano eats baby feet.

Problematic-masks on the cover aside, this album kinda slaps and is weirdly relevant. (First time listening to it in a long time and how did I never notice those masks before? I always thought they were the “theatre” masks.)

Welp - everything looks great but I didn’t get my staples taken out. He said “I want to keep them in for another week - there’s some pulling and stretching at that location.” Which is a clinical way of saying “look fatty, we’re gonna leave them in so you dont pop open like a tube of biscuits.” 🤣

Speaking of #strangerThings - if I’m ever trapped in another dimension and being placated within the mind of an all-powerful being - I would rather crawl up Vecna’s viney undead asshole than hear “Running Up That Hill” one more time.

I finished Stranger Things the other night. I thought it was very OK. It spun off the rails a bit but I don’t get all the hate. I REALLY don’t get all the vitriol towards the coming out scene. People wanted some of his friends to reject him in the name of “realism?” Fuckoutahere. #strangerThings

Went to the Air and Space museum; saw this helicopter with a rescue basket and this was the first thing that came to mind.

Do you ever wonder about the burning existential questions … What was “ANSI art”? What was a “bulletin board”? Were there ANSI comics? Heck, how do you even define "comics"? … Well, I've got some answers: breakintochat.com/blog/2025/12... #retrocomputing #textmode #history #comics #webcomics

This collage shows four different superheros depicted in various styles of ANSI art.
