I'm pretty sure I'd bumped into Pacifica's earlier cover vids while doing musical strolls through youtube. But it looks like they've come a ways since then, and I bumped into them again this morning performing "Take On Me":

(I admit I am a sucker for an 80s cover.)
I really enjoyed "Closer":

They put out an album last year, which I have chucked on to my ever growing wishlist.

Runes of Ardun, my strategy board game, is now also available for Windows!
Building the Windows version using @TauriApps was great and allowed me to easily integrate the game's AI, which is written in Rust.

I came across a couple of more sketchbooks. In one, I found a practice run for a Chinese New Year's card I made for a friend in 2008. I've made a few different cards over the years. Some hand made for an individual, others printed for holidays. (I've always wanted to do a lino print run.)
2007 was the year of the pig, and 2008 was the year of the rat. With that info, I think you get the idea. My friend seemed to like the card, which was all that mattered.
Attachments:
- Cartoon image of a rat running upright wielding a broom chasing a pig. The pig has a worried expression, and the rat has what appears to be a confident expression. (remote)
- Same picture as before, but this was the final one done on red card stock. I also used gold ink to place a symbol in the middle above the pig and rat. The symbol (if I copied it correctly) should mean something like "good fortune". There's a bit of a smudge under the rat that I corrected with a careful application of an X-acto blade before giving the card to my friend. (remote)

Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.
"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."

When Reagon won, after Democrats completely abandoned the New Deal as well as its success, they learned the completely wrong lesson and began chasing Republicans further to the right as they believed they needed to appear more moderate in order to win elections. This cycle continues to this day.

A slightly different way of looking at it though is that the reason people who are looking for a Twitter alternative are on Bluesky instead of fedi is that Bluesky's made a lot more progress than Mastodon on addressing the problems people who checked out fedi in 2022 (or 2017) encountered.
Sure there's a lot more to social networking than a Twitter alternative, and there's a lot more to fedi than Mastodon, but press coverage of fedi focuses on Mastodon and Threads as Twitter alternatives. So even people who want something more don't know to look for it in fedi. And Mastodon in particular doesn't make it easy for people who are looking for something other than mastodon.social (the default signup) and the mediocre Twitter-like mobile apps. @eniko@peoplemaking.games @oblomov@sociale.network

What I'm listening to today: Autechre Live at Oscillate (Birmingham 1993)
According to interviews this was the first "proper" Autechre live set; they didn't initially believe their style could work live until the Oscillate operator talked them into it. One month before Warp published "Inculabula", this set is *incredible*, a bridge from Lego Feet, dance percussion over dreamy vibes, closing at 25:20 with an alluring, gentle funk track that's one of my favorite Autechres
