@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!

🎶 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!

@toddgrotenhuis spouse also suggests a “rascal” of raccoons
Todd Grotenhuis
@toddgrotenhuis
We’re not sure the actual collective noun for raccoons, but I’ve decided “dumpster” or “cybertruck” are sufficient.

📺 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.

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.
