The "chorus", such as it is, is particularly baffling. A fake choir repeatedly singing a nonsense word in a spooky vibrato while she half-sings in a vocoder and makes strange noises. I fucking love it.

Just heard "Vibeology" playing on the radio and boy there's a song I hate to love.

Mini vacation up the coast and watching "Death Becomes Her." The last couple weeks have been putrid garbage (except an excellent concert last Saturday) so it's nice to feel something that isn't sad.

I love that @harvilla.bsky.social boiled down "Smooth Operator" to, essentially, "Fuckboy."

“You cannot engage with Newsom in good faith, because what faith can you have in a shell of a person who so baldly pursues wealth, power, the next shiniest thing?” Nice work. His first Chronicle quote in 1991 was bragging about giving wine discounts to his wealthy benefactors. Has anything changed?

I'm profoundly annoyed with myself that I've become a fair weather hiker. Like, it's merely cloudy today and everything within me said "nope" to a planned outing.

It seems they only require a steady diet of children and there seem to be plenty of those to go around, so...

In honor of our SF mountain lion, an image of my favorite sign from Midpen Open Space parks showing what looks like a recommendation to feed your children to the approaching cougar.

Yellow sign with black images and writing in three rectangular panels. Text reads: IF YOU ENCOUNTER A MOUNTAIN LION:

FACE LION BACK AWAY SLOWLY
BE LARGE. SHOUT.
KEEP CHILDREN CLOSE. PICK UP CHILDREN WITHOUT BENDING.
IF ATTACKED, FIGHT BACK.

Normalize orchestras performing Tchaikovsky's first symphony instead of nos. 4–6. It's so good and so few people have heard it. Parts of the first movement sound like Shostakovich!

Kinda annoying that muting a thread doesn't include quotes of the thread. Unless I'm missing something?

I've noticed a number of pretty big errors in the graphics in ESPN's US Open coverage (Darderi from France, Pegula seeded 4th) and I guess we're just in the era of "close enough."

If I've learned nothing else in my time here in SF, it's that the city is amazing at pushing problems down the street, solving nothing.
