I'll be talking about the 24-hour Letters to Santa show this weekend at the Elysian theater in Los Angeles

I'll be on this show this afternoon talking about Letters to Santa youtube.com/live/aO6lNtYnv…

Fred Armisen is the most organically funny person I know and hanging out with him is a joy. I like being on Vish Khanna's podcast regardless, but doing it with Fred was a special pleasure. Shout outs to letterscharity.org

Here's a great segment with Holly Lewis from @LettersToSanta_ and @katiemaryrich wgntv.com/spotlight-chic…

There's also an LA show for Letters to Santa, and they're going old school with the 24-hour marathon December 16-17. letterscharity.org

Posting one last time to share info about the Letters to Santa benefit show with John Mulaney Dec 5. Letters to Santa is the best thing I ever get to do and this show is how it raises funds, 100% of which go directly to poor families. letterscharity.org

Fuck this. I come here to read jokes, end capitalism and shit on Steely Dan, not be a captive audience for Fuckhead Bigot U. I'm about through, find me on bluey.

@RMHayes5 @deerhoof fuck off

Biden's approval rating is 37%, a record low, one year from election. If those who claim to be concerned about Trump winning would switch their energies from shaming fellow Democrats to pressuring the party to propose a viable candidate, we may still be able to avoid Trump.

@dubsak @sooperrecords My rule of thumb is to not give a shit how somebody is playing it back. I'm making a master tape, we're hearing it now, then it'll be in the box on a shelf for the next 200 years. That's all I care about. If we're lucky somebody will release it, really lucky somebody will listen.

Louder for the people in the back

@decmusicology @sooperrecords Technically yes but that's a trivial distinction. The resolution topping out at 16 bits is likely why they don't sound good. Lower-level signals are resolved relatively poorly so quiet masters tend to suffer. My complaints with CD sound were never about the high frequencies.

@EricJRacy @sooperrecords I don't have a particular beef with CDs, they were convenient for their day, whatever. Just defending vinyl as a playback format rather than a novelty. It's survived as the format of choice for creating a collection because it is durable and can sound very good. Not for cuteness.

@EricJRacy @sooperrecords Respectfully, barring subsonics, frequency response and dynamics can absolutely be matched by well-made records, and THD is mostly limited by downstream equipment. Subjectively, I've never heard CD playback that convincingly reminded me of studio playback, but have with vinyl.

Hey I had a terrible idea so instead of not doing it, I did it. Yes, it's dog shit, but I used a computer. I'm going to do a funny picture of Hitler baking cookies next.

@James_J_Hare fuck off

Hitting themselves in the face with a wrench, but only because nobody handed them a hammer.

@dobyboby81 fuck off

@electricalWSOP She’s not wrong. The antisemitism displayed at some of the rallies is well documented and on a larger scale than Charlottesville

@Stapes @RealKidPoker confirmed

@RealKidPoker I’m sorry to hear that. I experienced fits-of-rage-inducing levels of frustration playing for inconsequential stakes, recreationally. I can’t imagine how frustrating this could be for you. Hang in there, buddy. Enjoy your November. I will bake you some brownies if necessary.

On track to have my worst year in tournament poker and the reasons for it, in no particular order: -Luck -Played too much poker As you get older, fatigue is real. I don’t make decisions as clearly in the moment when tired and I played too many events overall When I get to play too often, I don’t care as much about the event I’m in. When I have extended breaks in between events I look forward to them and try harder No poker in November for me, will take the month off and recharge with the hopes of saving the year in Bahamas for WSOP Paradise in December There are some huge buyins and massive guarantees and I’ll need to bink a big one to avoid a losing year!
