I am dying :blobcat_cwy:

I need help from the electronic music hive mind!

What are the electronic instruments you've played over the years that are DEAD SIMPLE to use? Meaning, a person with no experience could walk up to it and quickly and intuitively move some knobs around, poke around a bit, and start exploring the instrument?

Samplers, synths, drum machines, and recording tech suggestions are all welcome. Boost if your followers would know about this pleeease! <3

Today I realized that the plot of Office Space is obsolete 😭

Dear everyone outside the USA,

Please excuse us as we work ourselves into a froth and talk politics more than normal for the next 3 weeks. While excruciating, it is a necessary byproduct of the desire to rid ourselves of the MAGA cancer.

> This was the first comedy show to move beyond the cream pie and seltzer bottle
style of slapstick humor; his team developed challenging material that didn’t insult their audience. Mel Brooks compared the group to a World Series baseball team, and many experts believe that this was the greatest writing staff in the history of television.

From the article that made me look up that show ☝️

> In 1949, the comedian Sid Caesar brought together a legendary
group of comedy writers and created one of the biggest television hits
of the 1950s, Your Show of Shows, 90 minutes broadcast live from New
York every Saturday night. During the nine years the show was on
the air, Caesar’s writers included Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, M*A*S*H
producer Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon, and Woody Allen.

I seriously think many people in that audience ☝️probably pissed themselves that night.

I've never seen This Is Your Story, but right away it's clear that show was important. Way to go, The 50s.

The people in this audience are losing their minds

I pulled a box that I use to store potatoes from a shelf in the basement. I thought it was empty, but surprise!

Life finds a way.

I'm going to see if I can get one to shoot out greens.

The fact that Pete Hegseth hasn't been struck down is proof enough for me that God doesn't exist.

Just saw this comment on a YT video:

"I lucked up on Marisa years ago and feel so lucky for the privilege"

Is that a typo/slip of the tongue, or is "lucked up" a real phrase that people use?

I wish "doing" rhymed with "boing" but I guess it's too much to ask to live in a world that whimsical

This is top-tier moss

Totally awesome curb plant today.

Do I play the drums? Hell no, but so what?

I think I'll drop some tomatoes off for some people tomorrow. My plants went in late and they're just ripening, and all at once, which is not great news.

But still, ain't they a beaut?

It's also a beautiful moment in the almost-fall garden

It feels like everything in my life is undergoing some kind of subtle transition, kind of like summer to fall. Today has been a day of mentally starting new things after focusing on wrapping up old ones. A good day.

No radical changes here, mind you. Just adjustments.

It's sittin' weather.
