Limbo... in Adelaide

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

Landed in Australia with gear intact, a kind taxi driver and to a very warm reception from the crew and staff at the site. The show has been a real blessing in my life, it's good to get out the US for a moment and the Adelaide Fringe Festival is always fun.

hello blue sky

ready for Australia #circus

weight plates, hand bells, glass bowls and marbles, hand crank sirens.

Trump: I'm gutting a key part of executive branch oversight by purging inspector generals. I'm not even giving Congress the legally required notice. Democratic senators: A bit concerning. But we don't want to slow you down. Let's approve Noem at DHS (w/ some Dem votes) ASAP!

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

8am gig for Apap/UTRFestival at the Skirball this morning. What a great band.

An Alabama mom hit by the Bourbon Street attacker's truck then shot in the attack, who still has a bullet lodged in her foot, told a @nolanews.bsky.social reporter that the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence.

Penny-whistles with pitched delays. Working on something for Sxip's Hour of Charm at Joe’s Pub in Jan.

This video from Bourdain spoke to me this morning because I really do just want people to see Palestinians as full and complete people because then I know they’ll fight for them too.
