‘The Art of the Spiel’ is a Minutemen tribute, aside from its other obvious reference. This is an early edit of most of the record’s punk rock songs, with the rest (8 songs or so) still in development. untitled.stream/library/proj...

When Musk talks about destroying the “deep state,” what he really means (among other things) is that he hopes to destroy any and all mechanisms of transparency and accountability that might restrain him.

Musk could have said “Hail to victory!” and donned a button featuring a black ‘X’ on a white + red background, and folks would still be excusing/ignoring it. Maybe less, but probably most. Worth thinking about. #Musk #Inauguration

In 2021 I was watching a news channel covering a Juneteenth celebration (ABC or CBS or something) when, for a few short moments, totally out of context footage of Hitler began to play. I still don’t know what to make of it, but I figure it’s worth putting out there every so often.

Spent like three straight hours cutting vocals. Was absolutely exhausted at the end of it, and didn’t even scratch for every song. I wonder what a typical recording sesh is for vocalists?

Strange moment lyrically. My habit of refinement has matured so that many sets go through at least one iteration, if not two, three, or more. I wonder if the process of novel writing has helped develop that impulse. I like it.

I honestly thought I’d run out of story ideas that could drive me. The last one came in 2017, which has kept me & will keep me occupied for some time, but I’ve had a few coming in recently as well. Thankfully. I don’t look for story ideas, at all. Ever.

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope...

The noble heart bestows all views a voice, Yet mercy bends when hatred shapes the choice. If cruel deceit is left to grow unbound, Then justice falls, its voice a silenced sound. To guard the light, the hand must strike the dark, Or tyrants rise and snuff out virtue’s spark.

I have covered both Musk and Alex a lot, and only one of them is a useful idiot for Putin and also a heinous person. The other is a patriot who did his job with distinction and is a very good man. Guess which is which: thehill.com/policy/techn...

Under the guise of defending free speech, Musk has turned X into one of the most restrictive, deceptive and manipulative platforms on the internet. He promised to make X a source of truth. He was called out by his own AI for being one of the most prolific amplifiers of misinformation. ...🧵
