You asked for it, and the Prince of Darkness is delivering. Rolling with Scissors merch is officially in development. No corporate markups, no hidden profits—every cent above production costs goes straight to WORT 89.9 FM. Here’s the status update on the gear you’ve been demanding.
The Feds tried to put a wiretap on my tracklists, so I’m stripping the signal to its core. This week’s episode notes look different for a reason: we’ve moved to a ‘Blackout Formatting’ protocol to keep the three-letter agencies out of our business. If the playlist looks like it was smuggled out of a lead-lined basement, that’s because the Prince of Darkness doesn’t play the government’s bullshit. The signal remains ours.
An IT veteran’s perspective on why the OpenAI military contract is the real-world beginning of Skynet. It’s time to stop calling it “the chat” and start calling it what it is: a weapons system.
Puscifer’s Normal Isn’t arrives as a slow-burning, atmospheric statement piece — one that trades immediacy for space, restraint, and surgical vocal delivery. Episode 1339 uses the new record as an entry point into the project’s wider theatrical and sonic DNA, framing it as both a tonal reset and a deep-dive expansion across eras.
I set out to build a practical Windows gaming machine for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a library of retro DOS classics. What Hobbs at H-Mods delivered instead was a fully fabricated, RGB-lit piece of functional art — a custom PC so visually ridiculous I keep pausing games just to stare at the case. From accessibility realities and hardware anxiety to wall-mounted retro gaming and resurrected music software, this is the story behind the Jetsetter build and why modern horsepower is mostly being used to run 1993 shooters.
After falling deep into the final season of Manifest on Netflix, I’m left trying to process whether I’m watching science fiction, theological allegory, or a full-blown existential fever dream. What starts as a grounded mystery about a missing plane quickly spirals into visions, prophecy, and cosmic judgment — landing somewhere between Stranger Things and Stephen King’s The Langoliers. Intriguing, frustrating, and impossible to stop watching, this show has officially broken my brain.
While building the Nine Inch Nails deep dive, I pulled out one of the first CDs I ever ripped into MP3 — sometime around 2000. What I didn’t expect was hearing the digital equivalent of vinyl wear. Not damage… but texture. It raised a strange question: when does outdated audio quality stop being a flaw and start becoming nostalgia?
Episode 1338 begins a long-form deep dive into Nine Inch Nails, focusing on full studio albums and the moments where the pressure finally breaks. From Pretty Hate Machine through The Downward Spiral, this is the sound of escalation, collapse, and aftermath.
A late-night algorithm stumble led to the discovery of Silent Vice and their crushing track “Temptress.” What started as a random TikTok clip turned into a full catalog deep dive — and the realization that this San Diego band has been building something heavy, atmospheric, and fully realized since 2010.
There’s a darkly hilarious truth about working in web development — the guy who builds and maintains everyone else’s websites never has time to fix his own. After neglecting my company site since 2014 and accidentally crashing it while poking around the backend, I finally did what any responsible developer would do… I launched the new one that had been sitting 90% finished on my server.
