This isn’t going to be a blog post where I link a million different sources and spend two hours writing. I’m honestly kind of tired, and about to crawl into bed, but, having spent a decent amount of time with the “Enchanted By Nature” expansion in The Sims 4, I...

In another round of continued Microsoft fuckery, a week after it was found out that a Windows update was potentially bricking people’s SSDs (which are not cheap), it is now coming out that on September 11th, secure boot may stop you from launching into Linux (on a Windows machine). This...

While I patiently wait for Distrokid to give me (and other artists) the ability to remove our music specifically from Spotify, I’m forced to watch as the dunces behind Spotify make wrong move after wrong move. First, it was their partnership with Joe Rogan, then it was their announcement that...

For part of 2023, a good amount of 2024, and all of 2025, so far, I’ve been blogging. In that, I’ve been writing down my thoughts on random things, or talking about topics I find important, or imperative. Originally, I was doing this across Wordpress blogs, and even successfully imported...
