Hey now, LA! I'm performing solo tonight at The Venice West!

🤣🤣🤣 Crazy, but Grok (Xitter's AI chatbot) is amazing at taking down maga disinformation.

Speaking of Andor... One discussion point about the SW franchise is the nearly complete absence of journalism or news media. I can only think rn of the pod race in ep 1... In Andor s2 it's a major thread. Maybe after the DS was built, the empire could zero out the propaganda budget?

Know what I don't see? Anyone around DC trashing Muriel Bowser for getting stuck with orynj duphis in a photo op. In fact I see support and meme generation from her side-eye expressions. Let's take a clue from Andor and *not* throw allies under the bus for doing their jobs.

If you think this timeline sucks, you should see some of the others. (Paraphrasing Philip K. Dick)

Happy Beltane, from NOLA!

Are we doing #tbt here? Here's a promo photo from 1990 of the band I played with back then, called Uncle Buffalo's Urban Mountain Review. I was 21 years old, and it was my first weekly gig, every Friday in the Chicago Loop at a small dive called Rori's. I played mostly violin and mandolin.

If you want a glimpse of where the US is heading, read "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson (or at least the Wikipedia "plot background.") Anarcho-capitalism breaks up the US into "franchise-organized quasi-national entities" through aggressive privatization. Crypto destroys the US$ with hyperinflation.
