I believe I've entered the "weird guy with a studio" phase of my life. Musician, singer, composer, IT guy, neurodivergent, foodie, history buff (esp. ancient near east). The child in the corner begins to plan...

"Rules, conventions, morals, reality itself: all exist so long as their existence is convenient to the preservation of power. Otherwise, they, like all else, are expendable." -- Omar El Akkad, "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This"

While it's true one day of boycotting isn't going to effect much change, it will at least act as a barometer for how much support we have. Now let's see if the fucking "liberal" dems actually show up or will just keep liking and reposting memes without actually doing anything.

Look what came in today! Gonna start this bad boy straightaway. "One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have anyways been against this."

Great quote from a Kipp Davis video. "Overconfidence unites *all* apologetics." Mic drop.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner... I just won Kraftwerk tickets!

Maybe if we put a Bernie Sanders mask on Musk the Democrats would do something to stop him.

Tonight! The time to build your community has never been so urgent.

Been saying this for decades.

Welp... it's official. Tangerine Palpatine has targeted Autistic people as a threat to the country. If they come for me in the daytime...

Scored tickets to Devo AND Patti Smith! Musically, at least, the year looks a lot brighter.

I've written more music in the past six weeks than the last three years, and loving it! In the midst of this dystopian nightmare, my response is my art.

How pathetic that it has come to this!

It takes a special kind of racism to call a talent like Kendrick "DEI." Just shows that it's a conservative dog whistle for something else.

"GOOD NEWS: Arsonist extinguishes fire he started!"

Has anyone looked into putting them in bear suits and locking them in a room with RFK Jr. and a chainsaw?

Motherfuckers might as well list their religion as "Whiteness."

I too become a dissident... youtu.be/YMq5QNAl2nE?...

Darante is an amazing voice, and one we should all take to heart to check ourselves against.

With all that's going on in this latest shitshow, I'm focusing on what I do. I'm not ignoring the news, of course, but I'm focusing more on things where I have connections and community already in place to build out the community and make change happen in that space.

Not to share gross medical details, but barium is nauseating and doesn't let go even hours after I've eaten it. 🤢

Apropos of the zeitgeist. youtu.be/XbVhlozAWcY?...

I always thought the lyric "We don't need no education., we don't need no thought control," was stupidl and ironic. Uneducated people are the easiest to control. apnews.com/article/naep...

Does anyone else have to fight the urge to pronounce Bluesky like it was a Ukrainian name?

Thinking this government can be reformed from within is like removing a tumor from a cancer patient and hoping a healthy human grows around it.

"The cockroach king sits on his throne..." youtube.com/watch?v=x7ww...

This is like that time when England imprisoned a guy who literally saved their fucking bacon in WWII because he was gay.

I believe this calls for an "Oh, My!"

Things Republicans never say: "Applying the rules only when it's to my advantage would be hypocritical, so I won't do that."

Is like American Christians read the New Testament starting at Revelation and said, "That's the only Jesus we're interested in. Bloodthirsty, vengeful, sword-mouth Jesus! Hurrrrrr durrr, 'murica!"
