    Putin blows up plane to kill Prigozhin

    In an effort to be even more of a meme, Putin has apparently just gone and blown up a whole-ass plane to get his Wagner Group rival killed. They haven't confirmed that he was actually on the plane, only that he was on the passenger list. The Reuters news agency released video said to be of the...

    Music in 2023

    Maybe I'm just old now, and I legitimately don't know how people learn about new music anymore. Yeah, I know there's spotify, but when I'm on there, I generally just listen to playlists that are made for me based on what I listen to - which is all 80s metal, 90s punk, and 2000s alternative. It...

    Season ending headspace

    Well, it got warm where I live. which put the season in meh-mode for the last 3 weeks. No more tourists coming in. All the seasonal workers have now left and its just sorta dead.

    Hoes in all sorts of different area codes

    Every single day I get some random ass calls from places to my USA number... Almost always between about 7:30am and 9am pacific time. Even if I pickup, every single one of these calls just doesn't even respond. It's just quiet on the other side and the call just ends like 8 seconds later...

    I don't miss skiing anymore... am I broken?

    I haven't been excited to ski in so long... probably for a whole year now... This last winter I just had no real motivation to do it. I got in maybe 20 hours or so in total all season. I went out simply for the sake of it. I was constantly trying to find that spark that always made me so amped...

    Solo Skiing in the Backcountry

    How many of you folks go on solo missions? For me, Id say a good chunk of my touring is actually going out alone. Its a massive change of pace and has actually benefitted my overall risk assessment. Taking out the element of 'at least I have a partner here who can try to dig me out' makes the...
