If you like ambient techno type music you might enjoy the album I made. Created entirely using the #BandLab DAW. My goal is to play the Super Bowl Halftime Show next year so let's get those streams going folks! #techno #ambienttechno

Credit where it's due. Every time I think "he can't possibly sink any lower" and "I couldn't possibly be more embarrassed to be an American" he says "hold my beer!" #impeach #25thamendment #standwithukraine

He should've cold cocked him or punched in the throat!

DON'T SHOP TODAY! #economicboycott

We needed a TV wall mount, the kind of thing one would've mindlessly ordered from Amazon. But we found name of company and just ordered it direct from them. Not patting myself on the back but these are the kinds of small gestures we need to take. #fuckamazon #fuckbezos #dontuseamazon

I don't post enough for a random comment to catch the zeitgeist or anything but just thought I'd note that Hakeem Jeffries, the Minority Leader of the House, theoretically the Dem leader, is on a book tour?!!?? I'd like to think his time could be better spent defending our crumbling country?

Offered without comment!

Took a news/social media holiday yesterday. Made the mistake of engaging today. That was a poor decision...

He's not going to take Gaza. Why don't we learn from the last time. He says insane/outrageous shit, and everyone covers it, makes 'strongly worded statements' etc. And then someone walks it back. But we'll never know what they were doing while we were all focused on the big crazy. Come on people. /1

And following up, how is it that elected reps can't get into USAID bldg but apparently DOGE psychos just blow past NOAA 'security' into bldg? Doesn't add up, what are we missing?

And while they're at it, why aren't our reps forcing their way into federal buildings? Who's stopping them? They are elected officials. They absolutely have authority. If they're still pushed back go the South Korea route, climb the walls. They REALLY need to rise to the occasion here!

I don't understand why AG from DC or MD doesn't just have Musk arrested? And his douche-y tech bros? Their legal justifications for what they're doing are so thin. Will it stick? Probably not. Our elected officials need to be creative and think outside the box. No more photo ops and press releases!

As #PresidentMusk is stealing all of our personal information and leading a coup, somehow 8 democrats and 1 independent Senator still found time out of their busy schedules to vote for the felon's energy secretary. Who's a climate denier and the CEO of a fracking company! #greatjobDems

The Grammy's are holding this annual irrelevant love fest in the mist of all that's going on? Can they be any MORE tone deaf? Read the freaking room, who cares who wins best album right now?!

If you voted for this, and you're not a billionaire, you are an absolute fucking moron!

Season 2 of #ForAllMankind a bit of a dip in quality from Season 1, and a few of the plot twists were a little too over the top, but still enjoyable for me to solider on to Season 3 in a bit. And the way they incorporated Carson, Reagan et al. interacting with characters was very well done!

Wondering if I should keep track of what I think/say more over the next four years: "We Told You So!" or "We Tried to Warn You!"

God damn #severance is SO good...

Good to see the Democratic resistance off to a good start by having not a single D senator vote against "Little Marco" for Sec of State. Well done Dems. They consistently disappoint!

Going to need a lot of distractions to get through this. I've discovered BandLab. Feel free to tell me how brilliant I am! www.bandlab.com/track/e4e5f9...

If you stay on Twitter now, you are ok with a literal Nazi monetizing your content.

Very enjoyable new album I stumbled across yesterday:

Don't have Tik Tok, never used it except for videos kids sent me, but the banning of it seems a dangerous precedent. And so stupid, the idea that it's a national security threat when our US owned social media sites have data breaches all the time! I really really think this is huge mistake!

Deleted Instagram today! Damn that felt good. #goodbyeinstagram

Mark Zuckerberg starting off 2025 strong in the "worst person in the world" race. He's still got same ground to cover to catch Musk, T***p et al. but wow he's like "put me in coach I'm ready to play!"

Can anyone explain what, other than dementia ridden final stage madness, does he want with Greenland? Is Putin telling him to take it?

Just starting 'For All Mankind.' Way behind on this one, but really digging it!

What were those Meta people thinking with the fake AI profiles? Best description I've seen is that it's "batshit crazy." I don't doubt that these are smart people at Meta but this is next level insanity!

First book of 2025! #Murakami Consistently brilliant! #reading #books #fiction #literature #literaryfiction

Unlikely to get any responses since I don't have many followers but I'll try. I want to start making ambient techno. Not as a serious "career" but as a hobby. Looking for recommendations for open-source software that I can use to goof around with. #techno #ambient #musicproduction #opensource

It's "terrorism" the moment it happens. Why do we have to wait for the FBI to categorize it that way?
