It’s sad to click on the Wikipedia page of an artist you’ve just discovered, only to have the first verb be in the past tense. Was…

Sometimes I think about all of the incredible music created in the 80s and how I managed to be born into a family of hair metal fans. A profoundly unfortunate comedy if you ask me.

Hate to see the economy suffer, but man, I hope home prices fall as a result of all these cuts. Quite frankly I’m shocked we haven’t seen a more dramatic correction yet. https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2023/02/intel-slashes-wages-bonuses-after-disastrous-quarterly-results.html

Not sure when middle age officially begins, but for me I think it started with refusing self checkout.

Sure, the comment sections are bad. But what gets me is that each of those comments represent a real human who is generally afraid to say those things out loud, but whom nevertheless still walk this earth with that junk seething inside of them. That’s the type of shit that keeps me up at night.

Not gonna name names, but imagine being the kind of celebrity who is only known to anyone because of the greatness of a relative. Just coasting through life, living off their estate, and living in the shadow of their deceased family member’s talents. What an utterly strange dimension of this world that must be.

It’s wild that I went so many years thinking Portland didn’t have any decent radio stations simply because PRP’s signal is so weak. Thankful for the internet broadcast, but if any station needs a larger coverage area, it’s that one. Discover something new almost every day. I missed radio. Maybe someday I’ll submit some of my own music. #prp #pdx #portland #musicians #pnw #radio

Why yes, those are my Totino’s pizza rolls in the office freezer.

23° in Portland this a.m. This kind of weather gets west coasters acting all sorts of weird. Even though it’s supposed to be clear all day, I bet I’ll see some tipped up windshield wipers somewhere today.

Did you know you can look up where you milk comes from with the code on the carton? I was curious where our Trader Joe’s organic milk came from. Turns out it’s Alpenrose. #pdx https://whereismymilkfrom.com/

I guess Mr. Bungle is on tour. Everyone used to talk about the feud between Mike Patton and Anthony Kiedis, but no one talks about how Incubus ripped off some of Mike’s sound.

Looking at real estate in #Texas just for fun. As a Portlander, the housing there is cheaaaaap. This must be what Californians feel like looking at real estate literally anywhere other than CA. #pdx

Being a parent has forced me to reevaluate so much of my own upbringing, in ways I don’t think I ever could have without kids. Every single day I think: “damn, how did my parents do it?” But also: “what in the actual f$&k were they thinking?!”

Don’t really understand the explosive growth of cordless power tools the last couple of decades. Y’all don’t have outlets at your house?

People today:
“Something is just off about society after COVID. Can’t place my finger on it.”
Also people today: “I would rather die a fiery death than go back into the office and have to interact with people and support local businesses.”

Someone is blasting Coheed & Cambria on the train like it’s 2003. #pdx

Google and #umich are taking away my unlimited cloud storage for alumni. This, after 10 years of me uploading all of my photos and videos from every device I’ve owned since. Gonna be fun offloading several hundred gigs and figuring out another solution. Most likely their plan all along. #Plex mobile photos app, where are you when I need you?

Any #hamradio operators in western Oregon? Just getting into #shortwave and was hoping to pick up on some single side band but haven’t had any luck yet.

One day the world will see plank flooring like we now view linoleum over hardwood. Can’t stand it, especially in gray.

Shake Shack really be like “Hey, go ahead and put in your own to-go order. That’ll be $50, how much would you like to tip?”

Single-use plastic is awful, but we have got to figure out a middle ground between paper and metal straws.

Snowing in #pdx. Full on wtf this a.m.

Why do refried beans smell exactly like wet dog food?
