I can't afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I'll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

What's sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

When I saw them on tour with Slayer, there were no real lines for their shirts at the start, but by the end of the show they were almost entirely sold out. They made a lot of fans that day.

The rowing was fun, and I loved that set!

Such a great group, I hope I can get to more of their concerts

TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.

Why would an AI company hire someone when they can just tell an ai prompt to write a script to download wikipedia, and run it without even checking?

I've always assumed that was the whole point

These two Dropkick Murphys/Guthrie albums are excellent, and their sentiment is as topical now as it was when they were first written

Right on! Always nice to add some Zeppelin to the collection.

Some people love this album, some don't, but I felt it was a really good return after a couple of more 'mainstream' albums.
