“burn the British” means “toasted English muffin”
Diner Code:
The Secret Language Behind “Burn the British”
I just got tired of politicians making up bastardly nasty mythology about words, especially words that are “ordering code” in restaurants, cafes and especially diners, where orders are shouted out and the order slip is stuck onto a nail or clipped onto an overhead board. The simple fact is that politicians are born liars. So what does “Burn the British” mean?
86 the whole damn menu
86 The Menu
Every so often, a phrase drifts into popular use and people start trying to figure out what it “really” means. They build theories around it, attach interpretations, and pretty soon something simple starts to feel complicated. Continue reading
To Who It May Concern:
🎵 “If It’s 86’d, Try 85” 🎵
Verse 1
Walked into a diner ‘bout a quarter to nine
Sat on a stool, said “coffee, black, I’ll be fine”
Menu looked tired, like it gave up the fight
Waitress said “hon, it’s been a long, long night” Continue reading
experimental sounds
Lately I’ve been spending time exploring what happens when you stop treating an AI music system like a tool—and start treating it more like a landscape.
In this case, the system is Suno. It’s very good at writing songs. Maybe too good. Left to itself, it will happily produce endless variations of guitar-driven, well-structured, emotionally coherent music. That’s not the problem. Continue reading
Wash Away Your Sins
There are some things in this world that seem simple and ordinary on the surface, yet carry a deeper function when approached with awareness.
Soap is one of those things.
Most people think of soap only as a way to clean the body. And of course, it does that beautifully. But there is another level—one that has been quietly understood in many traditions, though rarely spoken of in modern language. Continue reading
Hand-Molded Oat Soap!
There’s something deeply satisfying about making soap by hand. Not just the process—but the transformation. A simple base, a handful of natural ingredients, and a mold… and suddenly you’re holding something both useful and beautiful.
Oat soap, in particular, carries a kind of quiet reputation. It’s gentle, grounding, and timeless. People don’t just use it—they trust it. Continue reading
asmr and more
just a bit more about asmr
Some random thoughts on ASMR:
What I noticed looking at ASMR content is that a lot of it isn’t really “pure” ASMR anymore. It’s evolved into a blend of visual trickery, detailed sound design, and oddly satisfying mechanics. The feeling is still calming or immersive, but the way it gets there is broader than just whispering or simple sounds. Continue reading
What is ASMR?
Why ASMR Works So Well on YouTube Shorts
(And Why It’s Not Quite the Same Thing Anymore)
There’s something quietly fascinating happening on YouTube right now. A style of content that was once slow, intimate, and almost meditative — ASMR — is being reshaped into something fast, punchy, and endlessly loopable. And surprisingly… it works. But to really understand what’s going on, we have to start with what ASMR actually is. Continue reading
