this is so very damned cool (pun intended).
the Klamath will become a gorgeous river again, and perhaps the ecosystems depending upon it can heal.

- salmon running mean bear & others eating salmon.

- critters eating salmon leave fertilizer (salmon bones & guts & etc) by the riverside

- and so the underlying forest ecosystem expands & flourishes.

how do you afford your rock and roll lifestyle?

we're trying to do it by making rock and roll, among other things!

this week last year, we released @DoctorDeathray and Her Implements of Destruction's "51 Miles from Nowhere" and celebrated with Doctor Deathday, our album release show, which is now available as a live album:

https://doctordeathray.bandcamp.com/album/doctor-deathday-live

since it's the last Bandcamp Friday until this fall, check it out and consider: why not Deathray?

🤘

It's #BandcampFriday, and I decided to pick up a couple of items.

"Pull the Rope" from Ibibio Sound Machine, which released today:

https://ibibiosoundmachine.bandcamp.com/album/pull-the-rope

"What Makes the Red Man Red" from Frank Waln. As a pale-faced savage, I probably shouldn't enjoy it as much as I do, but it's fierce and true.

The #Radicle project has set up its own fediverse instance, @radicle , as part of the ramp up to the 1.0 release.

Radicle is a local-first, peer-to-peer, sovereign collaboration platform built on top of git. In other words, a "git forge", with git for version control, but adding patch management (what GitHub calls Pull Request), and a ticketing system for issues, all stored in the git repository.

Radicle home page is at https://radicle.xyz/

Of all the awful takes in development, none grinds my gears more than "silly JavaScript devs JavaScripted too much and now everything's a mess but they got themselves into it haha."

Right, sure, everything was great before, and we just made it complicated because we were silly, bored little dummies who didn't know any better. Our jobs were so easy! Everything is actually so simple!

Fuck off with that reductive bullshit.
