Fuck #TicketMaster / #LiveNation, $82 for a general admission ticket to the see the #ViolentFemmes is just plain WRONG. I loathe living in a country designed expressly for the greediest of the greedy. #music #90s

Good info from #TrueGritTextureSupply on how to protect your #art from #generativeAI. https://www.truegrittexturesupply.com/blogs/news/how-to-protect-your-art-from-ai #MastoArt #Ai
Hey #WordPress #WooCommerce fam: is it possible to use just a #webhook to trigger an abandoned cart #automation? By ‘just a webhook’ I mean not using any abandoned cart plugins and simply sending data from a webhook to a #CRM. Here’s an adorable #kitten for #Caturday so you’re wondering why following the #WP hashtag is showing a #cat. #webhooks #ecommerce #cats #kittens #CaturdayEveryday #Felines #CatsOfMastodon
Hey – it’s #ADHDObsessionWednesday! I want to hear from my #adhd peeps: what’s your current obsession or passion? I’m still obsessed with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, and the possibility of a better internet. So I added a bunch of #IndieWeb features to my new site. (I was gonna do this on Monday but… I got distracted & forgot 😆)
Is there anything that #PrivateEquity has improved? #Bowling’s more expensive because of it, #housing is more expensive, stores like #Sears have been ruined by it. https://jacobin.com/2024/05/private-equity-bowlero-ruining-bowling
This is fascinating, especially if you’re into #lofi music & sounds. Now I’m tempted to buy a VCR just for recording & mucking up #audio (this will be done in my non-existent free time 😆). How much do you want to bet that #BoardsOfCanada did this years ago? #Music #VHS #RetroSounds
These oral histories of #music I love will never get old. #GreenDay’s sense of humor was/is really important for me to be able to relate to them, which is why some of their post-American Idiot releases fell flat under the weight of their own seriousness. https://www.theringer.com/music/2024/5/16/24157483/green-day-dookie-oral-history-saviors-tour Also: if you haven’t listened to #TheMuffs, who they listened to a lot while recording #Dookie, you are missing out on an incredibly underrated band with the best screamer in the history of music.

@ArpComics I’m a frequent femmes listener too! There are some snippets in their songs that I find very philosophically helpful:
“I’m not doing something I’m supposed to do, I’m doing something I’m not supposed to” (first lines of Lack of Knowledge)

Good Feeling!!!!!!!
@RMiddleton I’m still seething from the ticket prices, I’ve wanted to see them for decades.
@ArpComics I get that. I was fortunate that they came to my college around the time American Music / Why Do Birds Sing. And I knew their earlier songs from my older sister. I think they’re a fascinating band. Lots of fun to dance to. Sorry about capitalism.
