I’ve been a Paulee Bow fan since I saw their unbelievably great Amiga-centric cover of Wicked Game (youtu.be/luvOGXwtPSI?...) but their most recent video is special, and funny—and sad and upsetting too, and I’ve been thinking about it all day. youtu.be/vMFrtm43d0s?...

This all feels like watching someone you love (America) suffer from an addiction and watching helplessly as they spiral into chaos. Except every time you try to get them support or stage an intervention they call in drone strikes on the rehab center.

I am blessed with a great community of supportive friends who really want me to thrive—until I ask if they want to go with me to see Thrill Kill Kult open for Ministry at the Brooklyn Paramount. Then I suddenly have zero friends.

I am pushing more records I can find of DOGE presence at agencies, but if I’m missing news reports, let me know. Particularly interested in who started at the GSA, what happened at SBA and some of the DOGE movements around DHS

I know some of them. Focus on that.
