My kid's over this week and of course that means SO MUCH MARIO KART 😀 and hopefully some more couch co-op Diablo IV after the 6th (for their March of the Goblins event they're running til the 20th) to try and find some of those Treasure Goblin groups, etc. See https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/24096024/celebrate-the-diablo-anniversary-with-march-of-the-goblins for full schedule.

World's oldest skin fossil found so far -- a sample from 286-289 million years ago, before the earliest dinosaurs by at least 40 million years but incredibly similar to modern crocodiles https://newatlas.com/biology/worlds-oldest-skin-reptile-dinosaur

I don't often have to go back in a new song I'm just hearing for the first time to listen to a riff or sequence of riffs again, but I just had to do it on the LAST track of this new Nekrodawn record - it is ridiiiculous. Thx to @HailsandAles for having it on his Friday list of new releases, I would've missed it. 🔥

Mel Blanc was born today (May 30) in 1908. Truly the man of a thousand voices. For over 50 years, he was the voice of Looney Tunes.

Bugs Bunny is my favorite cartoon character ever, plus ALL the other great voices Mel did - Daffy, Porky, Sam, the rest. Legend.

Google's doing it to themselves. I predict that eventually (or even fairly soon) YouTube searches will be full of only AI-generated news and other things and will be completely unusable. Just tried looking up something and got only weird videos with AI characters badly speaking news. This is gonna be a mess

** Warning: this one's gross. 😂

It's a shame that incredible Dutch death metal band PYAEMIA broke up for good in 2005 -- they gave us their magic and then they left us.

For this week's #ThursDeath, Pyaemia's only full length, 2001's classic RIPPER of a record, 'Cerebral Cereal'

I've talked about Indianapolis' scuzz-punk kings BINGO BOYS before, but today I want to highlight their 2021 record 'More'. These songs are ALL bangers, as usual (fun fact about Bingo Boys, they don't even know how to write bad songs that aren't infectiously catchy).

I hope to someday be able to write a song that is as damn good as 'Glow' or 'Spidersac' here -- these tunes SMOKE. 🔥

May is almost over, but this month is 'Month of LibreOffice' (see https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/01/do-something-awesome-join-the-month-of-libreoffice-may-2024).

I recently went back to using @libreoffice again (I used to use OpenOffice) instead of Microsoft Office, because now Microsoft wants to start charging monthly for Word, Excel, etc.

I don't know why I ever stopped using it (Having Microsoft Office already installed on a new laptop?) but LibreOffice is SO great, I never should have stopped. I love the ease of it, .odt files that work wherever -- the whole thing is superior to Microsoft products.

Like scuzzy, fast lo-fi punk? Do I have an EP for YOU.

'Pop Off', the new 4-song EP by the Gobs came out on Saturday and it riiiips.

Some of the songs aren't even a minute long! My kind of jams! Seriously, you can listen to this whole EP in just around 5 minutes. 😂

This is why we can't have nice things. I suppose the eventual goal of PayPal was probably ALWAYS to use all the data collected from their customers to "delight consumers with compelling offers" (who writes this shit? This is seriously the way these corporations think, and they have whole rooms and teams of people coming up with this garbage) https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2024-05-28-PayPal-Announces-New-Leaders-to-Build-New-Advertising-Platform-and-Accelerate-Consumer-Product-Innovation

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, which was released May 25, 1979.

The first time I saw it I was pretty young, it was on TV and censored. We actually had it recorded on a VHS from TV, which is something my family did a lot. I only saw the full uncensored version years later! 😂
