I found a fun little quip from John Wright, the drummer of Nomeansno, about the history of music post Nirvana.
Every major label tried to sign every band, and then it became no longer an alternative, it sort of became co-opted by the mainstream and people moved on to hip hop and dub step and then everyone got sick of rock and roll and went to raves.

Finished reading: Song of Susannah by Stephen King 📚
Two weeks ago, I wrote about finishing Wolves of the Calla.
Things are really heating up, and boy does King go hard. If you know you know.
I made a mistake; my thoughts, above, were supposed to be for Song of Susannah, which I finished on August 11th, not Wolves of the Calla. Looks like I forgot to log “Wolves”!
The Starbucks union is asking you to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS. A temporary change in our habits can give so many workers a permanent livable wage.
The dc command 💽
I stumbled across the dc command, after mistyping cd. It’s a math tool. It’s pretty esoteric in my opinion, but you can switch bases, which means you can do something like convert from a hex color to rgb, albeit digit-by-digit.
For example, if you wanted to convert the hex color #FAFBFC, you’d convert FC, then FB, then FC (note the uppercase is necessary for dc).
dc -e '16 i FA p' # 250
