The realtime fascism indicator is the highest that I've ever seen it. There is no making light of this. We are in for some very dark days.

I am not in any way surprised that insider trading is happening at levels we've never seen before. They're stealing from retail traders. What a rigged game.

Honestly, I'm just glad a few good things happen in life

If you were curious about when US citizens should be panicking, it is literally right now.

Genuine question. How long do you think they can go back and forth like this? How much energy do these people even have? Is anyone brave enough to invoke the 25th amendment? How many hedge fund employees are drinking themselves to sleep every night now?

So the tarrif rollouts are going well? No, I guess not.

Republicans are trying very hard to suppress your vote, especially women. If you have been married and changed your name on your license, update your birth certificate and/or passport to have the same name. Otherwise you may not be able to vote if the SAVE act becomes law.

I have been laughing at this so much

I've been revisiting old sneaker pimps records and I really do think that Splinter and Bloodsport were excellent records that did not get the long term attention that they deserve. I could not tell you how much these albums influenced me. They're massive.

Retail investors are just getting thrashed if they that thought that the economy was going to be good now. Might be a good idea to wait a few weeks, or months before putting more money into the market.

In case you needed evidence that Trump is enabling insider trading, here's a video of him talking to some people that made a lot of money yesterday.

If there's any one thing that Trump is predictable about, it's that he will always cause chaos, then take responsibility for stopping the chaos.

In other news, here's my face. If you'd like to spend some time relaxing, here's a video of some fractals along with my newest album slowed with some reverb. Listen to it and "be cool" because it's the "perfect time to buy" youtu.be/EuGs2KloB_E

The stock market jumped up a huge amount after this announcement. When Trump was telling people to buy this morning, he was signaling insiders that money would be made. It's too bad that insider trading is not illegal for government officials.

I'd like to stop living in unprecedented times so that my dreams will stop being about war and slavery. I'd like to go back to dreaming about cool stuff, like space jazz and jumping high enough to go from New York to California in 10 seconds. My dreams used to be cool.

Nothing is more calming than the President saying "be cool" like a bank manager in a hostage situation.

This is literally the most ridiculous timeline

I know that the economy is actively tanking in front of our eyes, but part of me feels like I can't do anything other than laugh at this ridiculous situation. We are absolutely cooked.

These protests are massive and I really hope people in power are paying attention. We know what happens to people when they are not listened to.

If anyone tells you "Americans don't care, no one is protesting," show them this photo. People do care and they're not taking this sitting down.

What does this facial expression communicate to you?

Just remembering this chart of the S&P 500 performance during the first 100 days of a president in office. I wonder what day 90 looks like.

The dude said these weren't negotiation setting Tarrifs. The whole market's going down. I've seen people comparing this to the Lehman Brothers crash.

I saw multiple companies lose 5% or more within a few minutes. It's a pretty clear indicator that this is the beginning of the sell off. I really really hope you've been saving money.

You know, the more time passes the more I think George Lucas was on to something

The guy in charge is not as smart as this character but it sure seems like he's trying to be

This is genuinely the craziest thing I've heard this year. You'd think they would have taken these answers to, I dunno, some experts? Maybe some people who have a way of understanding context at a human level?

Dang, I really appreciate everyone that is listening to Path To Elda on Spotify. It looks like a lot of new people are hearing it and I appreciate every single one.

This is just as stupid as the admin thinking that they can refinance the US' debt.

The after hours market looking about as bad as I expected. A lot of companies have already lost 5% of their total value, and it happened within minutes. I don't think anyone's going to come out of this one without losing a lot of money. I certainly hope you have hedge against your 401k.

When I say transphobia affects everyone, I also think it's important for everyone to fight it.

It was just trans day of visibility and some people are really putting themselves on the line. Florida's law is dumb, Trumps EO is dumb, trans people are everywhere and should be allowed to use the goddamn bathroom.

Know your parasites

I'm planning on sticking around

Today had some terrible news but this news is pretty great. Elon's influence is waning and voting by mail will likely continue in Oregon.

Cory Booker is kind of impressing me right now. Not going to lie. Every Democrat needs to do this. Make everything as inconvenient and difficult as possible. There is so much at stake.

I really hope that people have different passwords for every website.

The new Deafheaven album is cool. A great addition to the world of metal.

Last night's look. I cut my own hair again. Might be the last time for a while. This leather jacket is starting to become standard for me, though.

Transphobia hurts everyone

Just released my third chapter. This one is centered around Two For Days. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/eldacalr...

Allow yourself to be uncomfortable. Stop trying to dodge the process.

This is too accurate

I empathize with Kurt Cobain more and more these days.
