i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people? disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

Let’s face facts Dems: Chuck Schumer is not a war-time consigliere. Stand and fight.

The wonderful thing about this famous picture is that it was taken as we were all standing in front of Chuck Schumer’s office and it shows Aaron absolutely going OFF on him. Thirteen years ago, and Aaron was right as always. (Thx to @self.agency for capturing the moment!)

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

I’m voting HELL NO on the Republican CR. It hands Musk and Trump a blank check, turning your tax dollars into a wanna-be dictator’s slush fund. No accountability. Just corruption on autopilot.

A little glimpse at how I scribble out song ideas during the writing and recording process. It's "old school" perfect for this song that has a 70s influenced vibe to it. #bandcampfriday www.instagram.com/reel/DG6eS7N...

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. Today, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Get your wishlist ready and support the artists you love!

It's actually wild that we let our congresspeople trade in the stock market 🙃 the tariff drama is just yet another scheme to give the already super rich even MORE by manipulating the market. The American people are getting robbed and we have to fight back!

I created a Contact List for all the Democrats who voted to censure Al Green for his courageous action during Trump's recent address to Congress. Please call and let them know their cowardice and complicity is shameful. For a slightly-wonky hyperlinked pdf, please click here: tinyurl.com/bdfwdjxc

MAROONED is just about the only all-star cast movie we ever riffed and it was a challenge. Jokes about how great Gene Hackman is? Not the easiest comedy premise. And I never felt comfortable riffing a John Sturges film. He is one of the greats! Turned out okay but it's not my favorite episode.

Hate to tell you all this but... all that basic public liberal arts education that over the years you allowed to slowly be defunded... was the education you needed for a literate society with some shared cultural reference points to make educated political choices.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Came home tonight and looked up to see a very bright Venus with Saturn below it and bright Jupiter above Orion and further to the left, just peeking between two big trees, Mars shining brightly. I could see all this from the city. The banquet of the cosmos.
