@xxxx One of my absolutely favorite musical moments was a Zao/Living Sacrifice "lots of people on stage" moment at Cornerstone. Wall of drums and guitars!
Ryan Clark joining tons of bands last year for cameos was awesome, as well as performing as TFU instead of Demon Hunter.
Love these kinds of moments!
@toddgrotenhuis Listening to Undeceived and then probably The Hammering Process in celebration.
🎶 Incredible update (re: Furnace Fest)
Extol had visa issues last year and couldn’t make it.
Just announced that Extol will play 2024, but with Bruce Fitzhugh (of Living Sacrifice) singing!
@dwalbert fair point. I was bringing both because of this.
@toddgrotenhuis @tonydewan @ne8il.bsky.social @joelmeador ok, it looks like I would come in by Central Canal Towpath....so should work if they haven't put up barriers.
@pratik my blog has the “reply via fedi/micro/masto” comment field at the bottom, but not all do
@pratik precisely why I like those other feeds that have the mb links embedded!
@tonydewan luckily, know others taking the bus option 👍
🚲 Indy-area folks:
Have you tried biking to Newfields or Penrod? Are there decent places to lock up your bike?
🎶 Are you going to Furnace Fest?
@toddgrotenhuis spouse also suggests a “rascal” of raccoons
We’re not sure the actual collective noun for raccoons, but I’ve decided “dumpster” or “cybertruck” are sufficient.
🚲 Cold ride into work this morning, and it’s going to be sweltering on the way home. It is truly September. 🤷
@tinyroofnail thanks for sharing
@chadkoh even the title is just so…layered and excellent
🎶 What’s the current best way to distribute a full DJ set? (Preferably with full audio, but a playable or importable set list would be ok)
📚 looking forward to my next @dswanson book!
@fahrni Prometheus would be much better with the deleted scenes added back in. There are several that are crucial to making it all make sense. (example writeup)
@tinyroofnail @dwalbert Everyman’s library!
@tinyroofnail thank you

@help @manton I just got 3 month old Bluesky reply notification again. (This one: bsky.app/profile/a...)
📺 We’re on our third Walter Presents show, and each has been incredible.
It’s like “Masterpiece Theatre” but non-English language.
In the USA it’s available on PBS passport, but it varies for other regions:
@eludom true. There is some sense of distributed resiliency in that the protocol is implemented multiple places, not just in Signal itself.
@eludom signal 👍
@eludom I only digitally met him through “Mennonerds” online circles a while back
@eludom Ahh ok, we didn't even join Menno-circles until after you left the region.
@treeshateorcs.bsky.social panopticon 🙌
📚 Updated my recent reads.
@eludom oh if it had we could have joined in! Who doesn't love a good "battle hymn of the Mennonites" (as we jokingly refer to it around these parts)
@joshuapsteele we are trying to remember and failing…it was one of the very generic ones, clearly 😆
🃏♟️ This was ridiculous.
I had 59 victory points and approximately ♾️ gold.
🗳️ Being an independent, I can look at the US presidential race and notice things like:
Wow, in the pre-manbaby era of the modern Republican Party, it seems like Harris represents the kind of platform that Republicans would select for a candidate.
Observe diligently, consider the motivating factors, and reject requirements that are unnecessary. #WisdomWeave
⚽️ Gonna have the MLS Season Pass music stuck as my mental soundtrack for the next week. #OpenCup #RainDelay
⚽️ Good luck #IXI
See if you can beat those long odds against Sporting KC! #OpenCup #Cupset
🎶 This restaurant has played:
- Brandy
- live version of Mumford & Sons
- CCM worship song
- Usher
- Sinatra
I think this might be more eclectic than my playlists.
What great joy there can be among a small group exploring ideas together. #WisdomWeave
(This is a new process I’m trying out, where I draw something from the themes, tension, and interplay between three of my daily Readwise quotes.)
If I end up in the hospital it’s from the acorn bombardment.
Sounds like a warzone on the deck.
Staying somewhere without air conditioning and I’m having two thoughts:
- How did we do this when I was a kid?
- Get used to it because it’s going to get much much worse

I always assumed that the problem with travel is sleep quality but…
Where do you put your AirTags/Tiles/etc.?
🎥 Three reflections on Romulus
- Wow
- I wonder if they were trying to “code” Andy as autistic?
- Every time I watch an Alien movie I think about how Musk, Thiel, Bezos and their ilk are probably thinking something like “Weyland-Yutani are just tying to do good work. I bet I can succeed.”
