I've not been writing regularly like I intended to. I have an idea for a long-form piece I want to write about a children's TV show that had it's own Beatles parody band, and they were good. I'll try to work on that this week. To anyone who may have happened upon this - hello!

Some Brain Off-Loading
Saturday, November 30 2024.
One more day of Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. I haven't gotten nearly as much done during my time off than I had wanted. With these senseless new tariffs possibly being implemented, I'm trying to get myself as mentally and materially prepared for what's coming as possible. I'm still picking up at […]

Wednesday Self-Mumbling
Wednesday, November 27 2024.
Wednesday. First day of my long holiday weekend. I spent the better part of it working on the radio show, and I'm currently half-way done. I have until 8:00pm tomorrow to get it finished and submitted, so I'll finish it in the morning when I've got a clearer, fresher head. Today was pretty selfish […]

Waxing Theological
Tuesday, November 26 2024.
Today is my last day of work before the Thanksgiving holiday, so I have a lot to wrap up. I am fighting the seduction of inertia. I'm relieved to not have to undergo the Thanksgiving holiday rituals. I'm seldom festive in the best of years; my supply of festivity is depleted this year. Fuck it, man, […]

Monday, November 25 2024.

Why We Need Fuck You Optimism
Sunday, November 24 2024.
by JA Westenberg (Mastodon: @Daojoan@mastodon.social; Bluesky: @joanwestenberg.bsky.social) The world is on fire – sometimes literally, sometimes metaphorically. Every day we wake up to headlines that feel like dystopian plot points: climate collapse, political rot, algorithmic overlords harvesting […]
Buh

I'm sitting here at my desk, trying to motivate myself to do things today, but inertia is just so seductive. I was unproductive yesterday; time to get up and make myself look presentable.
A Cheerful Introduction
Sunday, November 24 2024.
Hello. My name is Alan. I'm a fifty-something American currently living in Oklahoma. I run a small record label and I also DJ a weekly radio show in Nashville. I'm an 80s kid, a member of the most wretched generation since Boomers. I grew up around computers early, so I have a fondness for retro […]
