So…a couple of days ago, a friend told me he found a video of my old band Shovel online. Circa 1996.
It reminded me that we recorded a two-song demo that I have on a cassette. Just a blank tape from the studio master.
So I remastered it and published it on Bandcamp (for free). Check it out if you want. (I know. It’s not metal. Hush.)

@markwyner In that shell tricks page the only things I didn't know were :
The Last Argument (Interactive Edition)
ESC + . (or ALT + .)and the CTR+X CTR+E because I use fc from time to time when I have big commands that I want to edit
Also I use: set -o vi that allows me to use #vi keybindings on the #CLI.

Y’all. I just launched v1.5 of my macOS color contrast checker, Ratio. A couple of bugs squashed and it’s ready for your accessibility ventures in design and development.

A great thing happened today. After a lot of hard work I finally launched the redesign of my website. 🎉
I’m in love with my new typeface and the simple, typography-focused design. I also explored some neat page-transition animations.
It has a sustainability score better than 98% of all websites and is fully accessible even with complex animations.
Crossing the finish line feels great.

When #NaziDon started threatening to arrest and/or #deport (imaginary members of) #AntiFa, I changed my handle on here as a "Come & Get me, a$$h0le." -
It is so impressive to see how you are fighting back in Portland. Solidarity greetings from southern Germany. I was in prison for a while and received friendly and supportive letters from Portland for years.
I am now free and work for a small non-commercial radio station. Next week I am travelling to Dresden (in eastern Germany), where the trial against 'Antifa-Ost' is beginning. Just a few days ago, the Trump administration put them on the anti-terrorism list.

RE: https://mas.to/@markwyner/115527129188459155
Just a week ago @ProPublica nailed it about the truth of Portland. They exposed how propaganda triggered escalation from fascists, claiming that we’re a “war ravaged.”
Now they’ve published receipts that specifically point to FOX’s propaganda (no surprise, of course).
I’m a paid subscriber to ProPublica. I recommend supporting them.

In case you missed Brazilian skateboarder Sandro Dias, breaking not one, but THREE world records in a single morning…
https://mas.to/@markwyner/115266220512089156
Here’s his third and final of the day. From the camera on his helmet. He drops in from 70 meters, after repelling down to the platform with rock-climbing gear.
Oh…and he’s 50 years old.

Music is the best. Sharing it is bliss. I hope y’all saw my list of favorite records from 2022. If not, I’m hoping you’ll find some gems to add to your queue. It spans many genres because I love it all.

Last week I posted a set of old-school Apple icons from the first Macintosh OS by Susan Kare:

@chucker noted that Clarus, the “dogcow” icon, was back in macOS Ventura. While it’s a modern non-pixelated version, she has indeed made a return.

[email protected] - Elias Herrera and his cow Bruce bring me a lot of joy.I’m not sure if Elias is a vegetarian, but I’ve never seen him use meat in what he’s cooking. And in a BBQ video he’s grilling veggies/fruit. I’ve read interviews about his care for Bruce, and it’s genuine. He even gives him spa days.
Anyway, I hope this brightens your day. Enjoy!

Self-Titled Summer | Minor Threat (1984, US)
Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 609 on The List, submitted by markwyner. This album - a compilation of two 7"s and a couple other songs - is essentially an iconic piece of history. It not only strongly influenced the underground hardcore scene in Washington D.C. and beyond and gave the straight edge scene both its name and creed, but it also solidified Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson's Dischord Records as an indie label that could actually make its DIY, no bullshit ideals work.

Self-Titled Summer | Minor Threat (1984, US)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 609 on The List, submitted by @markwyner. I was meaning to get back to keeping these STS posts brief, but a Fedizen specifically noted they’d like to read more about this rather iconic band so *takes deepest breath possible*:
- Point of origin(s): Minor Threat was formed in Washington D.C. in 1980 by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, following the demise of their high school hardcore punk band the Teen Idles (originally called The Slinkees, formed in 1979). MacKaye had been the bassist and main lyricist, Nelson the drummer; in their new band, Nelson continued as the drummer and MacKaye continued as lyricist but switched from bass to vocals, and Brian Baker and Lyle Preslar rounded out the original lineup on bass and guitar, respectively. The first Minor Threat show would be one month after Teen Idles broke up, in December 1980, to all of 50 people (you were there, right?), opening for local bands Bad Brains and S.O.A. (State Of Alert), i.e., the band of former Teen Idles’ roadie (and lifetime bff of MacKaye) Henry Garfield aka Henry Rollins.
At about the same time as their band change, together MacKaye and Nelson started Dischord Records with the $600 that Teen Idles had earned in its existence, initially just in order to put out that band’s only release, the Minor Disturbance EP (1980).[1] The EP made enough for the label to continue, and so next they put out the sole release from S.O.A., No Policy EP (1981), followed by Minor Threat’s debut s/t EP (also referred to as 1st 7″) and soon after their second EP, In My Eyes (both 1981). The album we look at here is a compilation of those 7″s (hence also referred to as First Two 7″s), released after the band broke up. - Tasting notes: Hardcore punk, none of your bullshit
- Standout track: My favourites are “I Don’t Want to Hear It”, “Minor Threat”, and “In My Eyes”. And then, for its historical importance, “Straight Edge”. Keen eyes may have noted the X-marked hands on the cover of the Teen Idles’ EP that would come to be a symbol used in the locally-grown straight edge scene/movement/subculture. However, at the time of that band, those drawn-on Xs initially simply indicated that those hands belonged to concert attendees who were underage, and was a way to allow younger fans into venues that weren’t all-ages. The link between Minor Threat’s song “Straight Edge” and the scene though was absolutely direct, as the scene’s name and manifesto was taken straight out of MacKaye’s lyrics. “Out of Step” also provides another version of the lifestyle guidelines that at least some who considered themselves straight edge followed, including MacKaye himself.
- Where are they now?: Following the release of their 2nd EP, Minor Threat briefly split up and then reformed a few months later (thanks to H.R. of Bad Brains) with Steve Hansgen (briefly) joining as bassist and Baker switching to second guitar. The group then put out (via Dischord Records, of course) a 12″ EP in 1983, Out of Step (with a new version of the title track)…and then (partially due to the existence of U2, lol) broke up. Each of the band members would go on to do tons of cool shit, e.g., Fugazi (and a handful of other awesome bands) was founded by MacKaye, Baker has been a member of Bad Religion since 1994, Hansgren co-produced Tool’s Opiate EP, and Dischord Records – still co-owned by MacKaye and Nelson – remains one of the best record labels on the planet.
