And from today's "that was then this is now" department:

"Elon Musk has said he will not reinstate the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Twitter, saying he has 'no mercy' for people who capitalize on the deaths of children for personal fame."

I’m def a fangirl. Let’s do some whoop-a** justice.

Nothing wrong with Taylor Swift, but I still wish it had been this:

Today is prog and metal day inside the lab, which is unrare.

Don't let the intro fool you. This is what could have happened if Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays had taken that left turn at Albuquerque. A jazz/prog/metal fusion that works.

Here is "Oiseau" from Kenta Shimakawa. If you dig, check out the whole album ("Glimpse")

(and if this is not hard enough for you, check out his track "Ambivalence (Shred Edition)")

🤘



Ummm...

For fans of Haken, Queen, System of a Down/Serj Tankian, Devin Townsend and (maybe?) Zappa. Wow.

Photos taken by a relative in Michigan last week during sunrise. No photoshop, just hexagonal ice crystals and pareidolia combining to make something beautiful.

Pretty sure found a giant tardigrade in my ginger container tonight.

What should I do?

I've been looking for the descriptive word, probably at least 5 syllables and of German origin, for the body-wide clench that occurs just milliseconds before sitting on a freezing toilet seat.

Anyone?

This clip, from one of my favorite movies, is increasingly how I feel these days. Especially when reading yet another story of yet another self-righteous crusader who's found guilty of doing - you guessed it - yet another thing that they were supposedly fighting against. ("Stamp out trailing prepositions!")

There was once a bandersnatch frumious,
that shunned all the borogoves mimsious,
whose toves did outgrabe,
to gyre in the wabe,
and sleep in the slithy tove's brilligness.

Code's eclectic music pick of the day:

What fresh sacrilege is this?

And yet, it definitely works.

Here's Wax Tailor with "How I Feel"

My love for music is born from growing up listening to my father's albums across all genres, from The Boston Pops/Arthur Fiedler to Black Sabbath. As I got older, like most people, what I listen to day to day depends on my mood. Also, lyrics matter a great deal to me, as well as musicians who rock the boat, from Frank Zappa to Rage Against The Machine.

Music is powerful.

@sheseala @th3j35t3r @cjcrew I’m not sure AI is required for this to work. The real issue is making the signal to noise ratio so far out of whack as to make search useless.
