There's seaweed on the beach today and my hotel cleaning lady warned me about it. Coming from San Diego, where seaweed is in piles on the beach, it's hard to imagine a beach without it. It attracts a gnarly amount of bugs but it's mostly right at the shore today. Unsure what the science is that causes it to suddenly migrate to a certain area, but it's here! But not as bad as SD.

2026-07-16 09:33:10 UTC

Knock on sand, but this is the first day in a while we're I haven't had to work or had a guest and have the beach at my disposal. I've started the first of a planned 3 sessions on the playa today. And possibly tomorrow, if "Bob" wills it. :jrbd:

One of the nicer features of Deezer is the ability to upload your own mp3s. Other services may do this too. Fuck if I know. But the ability to have Double Live, the greatest album of all time, at the ready, is so clutch.

@nprofile…kmk4 Try Voyager. Poacked as much from Apollo as possible. I use sh.itjust.works as my instance andnit works quite well. Mlem seems to have this thing where it’ll refresh your feed after a while, or switching apps, but it doesn’t seem to do this on the phone, just ipad. Voyager is solid.

@nprofile…3tp7 Trip cancelled! Though I wonder if I could bribe someone at the cathedral to let me have a peek. I spend a lot of time in italy and have learned that in addition to cigarettes, bribes are a huge motivator. Apparently there’s a museum with a spot-on reproduction. I bet there’s killer shroud merch at the gift shop.
Northern Italy is far better than the south, Sicily being the exception. Naples can hug my balls.

I’ve held on to that ticket stub like it was proof that night really happened. We didn’t have tickets for the 2nd night, which turned put to be a good call. BHS got their set cut by the sound guys, stuff was thrown by Gibby, arrests were made outside the club. I bet they talk about this in their upcoming documentary. They were no longer on the bill the 2nd night. I’d neber seem the club that packed. RHCP just got their new guitarist after the previous one overdosed. They were HUGE in San Diego.

A friend of mine sent me this flyer from a gig we went to. First time I’d seen Butthole Surfers. Not the first time I’d tried to see them, but the first time it actually happened. Blew our shroomed minds wide open. Packed house at the craziest club I have ever been to. Iguanas was in Tijuana, 5 minute walk from the border. We could drink beers at 18 and the minimal security made it like lord of the flies. RHCP were also at peak that night, ready to begin their quick plummet into mediocrity.

Holy fucking shit is it ever tiring hearing people cry about billionaires. You’d probably be just as pathetic without their interference. These are the same people who blamed ‘boomers’ for everything 10 years ago. Quite likely that without boomers or billionaires that your life would still suck and you’d find another convenient scapegoat. I’ve yet to see one clear headed, logical plan on how to counter the evil billionaires. Just a LOT of whining and finger pointing. Par for the course.

@nprofile…k95v I enjoy this for the ability to offend both sides of the fence at the same time.

New iPad OS is supposed to fix the horrendous typing problems. I have my doubts. What I really hope they fixedis the task manager thing that had missing apps I couldn’t close.

On a long (or short) enough timeline AI is going to take your job and if you don’t have a plan for when that happens, that’s your fkn fault. Should be spending less time chirping about how AI will fail, and cheering “lol we told you so!” with every blip in the road these companies encounter, and spend more time trying to figure out where you’re going to fit in the picture when it comes for your job.

@nprofile…kmk4 I have a feeling Apple will meet your demands. Just barely. That’s how they keep their claws in ya! Keep em wanting more. I don’t like the price gouging on adding more storage or ram. The planned obsolescence is wasteful. And that os26 liquid glass hasn’t grown on me, like it was supposed to. Especially on my ipad, where it’s bugs a plenty. But the idea that I’d proactively choose Windows or Android is laughable. Linux could be a winner but the community can’t agree on the simplest shit.

@nprofile…kmk4 That was a BIG shift for me. I wasn’t a huge Mac guy and the OS up through 9 didn’t do it for me. I was/am a big fan of the NEXT interface having had a chance to play with one and trying to get whatever Linux distro I was fiddling with at the tine to replicate it. I bought one of those turquoise iMacs and that was that. Have an m4 mini now, and it’s not my daily driver. Windows laptop, for work, is most of my computer use. Outside that, iPad.

@nprofile…49d7 The moment you hand money to a bank, it’s not yours anymore. The paperwork says as much. They turn around and use it for their investments, give you a pittance of the draw and let you use it so long as they don’t think you’re breaking laws. In many cases, you get penalized for taking it back it, particularly if you chose to gamble it on a long term investment. Penalized. On your own money! Fuck a bank. Sadly an evil we have to endure to be anything worth a shit.

@nprofile…xvdg If you played that blind for me 20 years ago and told me it was a Butthole Surfers album, I’d have believed it. I saw a reunion tour of Trad Gras Och Stenar in the early 2000s and they played in the living room of this hippy collective in Ocean Beach, Ca. They didn’t play any of the Parson Spund stuff, but it was mind bending all the same. They were all super old dudes but hung out, dranks beers and chatted in between these 20 minute jams.

Just stopped at my favorite service stop on the way to Belgium called Peppenhoven, which I lovingly call "Peepeeheaven". Nice clean bathrooms at the half way point. Could have shampooed a water buffalo with what was stored up in my bladder. The toilet seats rotate under a stream of water and squeegee themselves clean. That's like rocket science for Germany.

I think I've mentioned this in the past but since I'm listening to it now I want to mention that if you like psych music, Parson Sound is one of the greatest albums of the genre. No way this sounds like 1967. Ground zero for the genre.

@nprofile…d6sm Green Day sounds like that cock rock crossdressing band called Poison. They just put stickers on their guitars, spikes their hair and became an AR guy’s wet dream.

@nprofile…uk8k @nprofile…zc8z The people who do this should go start their own phpbb walled garden community of excellence, where they can go fuck off, away from the rest of us who don’t give a dimpled shit which instance you use.
The Mastodon HOA, who patrols looking for missing hashtags, alt-text and non-trunctaed YT links, can go fuck themselves in the face. Go back to moderating Reddit, blowhards.
So, there!

@nprofile…3e6m if you want the meeting to get really fkn funny, go in early and replace the whiteboard markers with similar looking permanent markers. Chief Executive Dipshit doesn’t know his ass from his elbow, much less the difference in marker tech. The real joy comes when he tries to wipe away his bullshit. Try not to laugh.

Was it really necessary to know who Banksy is? Reuters just destroyed a dude’s entire career/life. For what? To sell ads around the article? Get “eyeballs” on the website? His anonymity was his entire brand, the art was the vessel. The world is pointing rockets at each other and Reutets needs this 10,000 word teardown of the guy? Fkn stupid.

@nprofile…7avl Update: it works! 2 tbsp tea has me up. Not “go wreck shit at the gym” levels, but I’d go mow my lawn if it weren’t forbidden to do so in this godforsaken time capsule I live in. Isn’t a psychosomatic thing… there’s a distinct warm feeling I haven’t experienced in decades that comes with it. More to come…
