  1. Dear Mom and Dad, Hi. Camp Surly is… not what the website promised. The counselors are either drunk, watching reruns of the 2006 Rose Bowl or both. One of them gave a motivational speech with no pants on. I wish I were kidding. The picture I've enclosed is from our daily "Longhorn Pride" hour yesterday. Sundays are the weirdest. They make us sit in this musty old cloak room and watch videos about income disparity, climate guilt, and “unlearning binaries.” Then we journal about how we've benefited from white privilege. I just came here to canoe. Instead, they’re making us clean up after last night’s Counselor Appreciation Mixer / Vomitorium. Please come early. Love, Samantha P.S. If my counselor says “late-stage capitalism” one more time, I’m moving into the woods. Alone.
  2. I don't understand why Elon does not have 120930129301293 microphones in front of him from a press that smells the blood of a juicy story in the water. I mean, whether you think this is legit or a nothing burger, it's strange that the press does not seem to really be engaging the richest person in the world that brought Epstein/Trump into the national consciousness.
  3. Sometimes, something gets broken beyond fixing. I'd be surprised if Mystic ever reopens. Beyond the main force behind it being dead, the name will be toxic, like 3 Mile Island. No one will want to trust their kids to anything associated with that name. Something else will fill its void to provide similar experience for Texas' girls/young women of means, something that is going to have safety measures that hold up to increased scrutiny. If not from government/regulatory agencies, then from parents who are entrusting a third party to be responsible for their child.
  4. But then one man's God is another man's false idol. I am still expecting a short list of little import written in sharpie followed by immediate acceptance on the right and immediate acquiescence on the left.
  5. It is not a good time for me to buy something of this magnitude, unfortunately. You should easily be able to get that amount from someone. Good luck, @Paul Wesley!
  6. This is beautiful and I love ES-335/330 style guitars… hmm.
  7. Ya know what I think is going to happen here? They are going to release some list. There will be a few names of dead people and Prince Andrew on it. It will not be verifiable. It'll probably be written in sharpie. TFG will say, "See? There was nothing here. I didn't want to embarrass the families of all these dead folks, but the fake news media and democrats blah blah..." That will be plenty enough for TFG supporters to not just both-sides it but to view this as more persecution of dear leader.
  8. Ya'll can seek safety in gold or bitcoin, I'm going all in on KMB equity.
  9. Someone is going to post the whynotborh.gif in response to this and they need to negged into obolivia.
  10. I dunno about intro, but live take of Cars with NiN is really, really good. I think Gary Neuman is a pretty underrated musical genius. I view him how most people view David Bowie.
  11. Still does not top GenX and Richard Gere’s gerbils.
  12. I’ll be in my virtual bunk? https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jul/12/i-felt-pure-unconditional-love-the-people-who-marry-their-ai-chatbots
  13. This is exactly what someone who diddled kids at Epstein island would say.
  14. We Salute You, Mr American
  15. Reverse piano hit into classical guitar lines and then that rhythm/bass as the song comes in. I feel like every Pink Floyd song could be listed, and this may be more of a transition from intro to the song, but every time I listen to TGGITS, the pedal steel sweep and drum fill into the full band with the sung death throws gives me chills
  16. Yeah, there's really nothing to say that hasn't been said. Either about the horror or culpable parties. I think for Nicole and maybe others, it's a form of cathartic release.
  17. Yeah, haven't listened to any of it, no idea if it's worth the time. It seems like a pretty lazy attempt given by what I see in the article, and a million Spotify followers is something you can just pay for. $1700 buys you 100,000. I do think there will likely be someone who successfully makes a largely AI-powered, commercially viable virtual artist that earns not insignificant money from streaming platforms. It's a matter of when. When I say largely AI-powered, I mean it will be a combination of AI and human talents with AI being responsible for 50% or more of the artist's "presence". Songwriting, production, videos, social media, etc... Maybe the songs are largely human written, and AI is generating a pop-star facade online. Or maybe its a pretty human face with not much else to offer using AI to generate a song catalog, videos, etc...
  18. I expect a significant number of their 1 million AI followers are bots themselves.
  19. So MechaHitler is really MechaMusk and no one can tell the difference?
  20. https://nypost.com/2025/07/10/entertainment/rock-band-with-more-than-1-million-spotify-listeners-reveals-its-entirely-ai-generated-down-to-the-musicians-themselves/ Rock band with more than 1 million Spotify listeners reveals it’s entirely AI-generated — down to the musicians themselves A fresh new rock band that quickly shot to Spotify’s top ranks announced that it’s actually wholly generated by artificial intelligence, just one month after its celebrated debut album earned it one million listeners. The ’60s-inspired rock-and-roll band, the Velvet Sundown, revealed on Saturday that nothing about it is real after fans of the up-and-coming artists noticed there were virtually no traces of any people associated with it online. Its debut album, “Floating on Echoes,” was released on June 5 to mass appeal online.
  21. One of these arrived today for that new Guild. Anyone ever install one before?
  22. This rock & roll lifestyle is not what I thought it would be.
  23. Thanks. I dabble in Ambient. @sidis is really good at it. I just sent him a sorta interesting ambient guitar piece and he built a composition around it.
