Playing a V isn't comfortable. It's all neck drop and avoiding chipping the wings. Wanna sit? That's a hard no.

The Internet was *never* a free-for-all.

Unscrupulous megacorps wanting to enslave foolish people into a parasitic system of privacy theft-for-profit *gave* the appearance of a free-for-all. That was the hook, "Free Stuff" (whether facebook pages, Youtube storage/bandwidth, or (heh) google photos storage) was the bait, and *you* were the fish.

It was never real. It was a ruse.

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

@janbeta - Have you ever tried building your own? Raw bodies, straight necks, all hardware included. I don't think I'll end up with a Les Paul Custom or Pro Strat, but I thi k it'll be fun. For some reason, I thought you might dig the concept. Music, electronics, DIY. It's right in your wheelhouse.

And now back to the Commodore Christmas Demo...

Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.

It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

Elon Musk Is Still Silencing the Journalists He Banned From Twitter

To you, it looks like Musk unblocked journalists like me. It’s an illusion: The truth is that we are still locked out of our accounts.
