Been meaning to start posting more about my hobbies (mainly audio) instead of just boosting politics. So here goes…

Tonight’s listening session. Abyss Diana DZ (Violet Abalone) on my Agartha 2021 (300B SET). Driver GEC A2900 (black plates) with new production Western Electric 300B. And yes it sounds as good as it looks. Any questions, please feel free to @ me

I am so, so, so tired.
Tired of the endless barrage of stupidity coming from the #US White House
Tired of the idiocracy coming from the New Zealand Beehive
Tired of people like #Trump, #Musk, #Tamaki, etc.
Tired of being made to feel like I'm not worth anything because I am different (#Autistic)
Tired of seeing an actual dictator get his ass kissed by what the world thought was an "at least half decent" country.
Tired of seeing politicians here in #Aotearoa give in to the most petty and reckless lawmaking, purely out of spite.
Tired of people yelling bloody murder over a fucking 75cm wide #bikelane that harms nobody (The road is still wide enough for 2 cars AND a cyclist)
Tired of narrow minded #bigots treating people differently because they're not white|cis|male|western, whatever the fucking fuck their current issue is they invented to be upset about.
Tired of hearing how a few (5? maybe 6?) people are cheerfully threatening the safety of the whole world

I'm tired. Tired of people yelling. Tired of people screaming. Tired of all the shit.

Please excuse me while I go scream in to the #void, stare in to the #abyss and just... I don't know. Cry, or something. I can't take it anymore.

Visited #TheRookAndPawn in Athens last night and got in a few 3-player games of #Abyss

I really love this game but don't see many people talk about it, though it is 10 years old at this point. The art is simply sublime.

"Just as various international humanitarian and state-building interventions into Mogadishu have stifled true political alternatives, thus leaving extremist groups such as al-Shabaab and the Islamic State to fill the void with their own nihilistic projects, so too may we come to find that whatever emerges from the ruins of Gaza will be equally as monstrous, if not more so."

Vashti Media · Israel’s Mogadishu-fication of GazaWhat a reductive analogy can tell us about the unfolding catastrophe.

Tried to send a submission to #Abyss&Apex, which is supposed to be open for fiction the first week of February.

Form reply stating they are not open for fiction.

Tried to send to Haven Speculative.

#Moksha is down today. They shouldn't update on the first of the month.

Edit to add: Over ten have documented their Abyss & Apex submission on SubMission Grinder this morning.

#Abyss #DVD #Movies #AMC

I've got a ticket to watch a special showing of Abyss at my local AMC in a few hours and I"m going to watch it on DVD shortly to see how well the big screen version compares.

Never saw it on the big screen when it was originally released in 1989 and I'm hoping the big screen version will "knock my socks off." 😉
