The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.
But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

The small amount I've learned from working with nonprofits over the years leads me to suspect that they're doing it this way because the rules & red tape for auctions are considerable & they don't want to pay someone else to host it.
But now I wonder what naming rights we could be missing out on...
DUDE. Anyone with a spare $6K-$50K to donate to oceanographic research gets to name a newly-discovered deep-sea creature! Annelids! Slugs! Sea stars! TUBE WORMS!
PS Oooooo potential sea slug namers, I don't think Sluggy McSlugface is taken yet!

...good thing I have most of a year to do it. Especially considering I need to get around to writing my Banana Boat motet at some point before the next April Fool's Sunday

Title: Avis undas equitavit (bird that rides the waves)
Lyrics by: Viri Purgamenti (men of garbage)

Omnes de ave audiverunt
Omnes audistis quod avis est verbum
Avis volucris et aves volucris avisque
Et ubique omnes sciunt sciunt volucris esse verbum
Everyone has heard of the bird.
You've all heard that bird is a word.
Bird x 5
And everyone everywhere knows, they know that bird is a word.
PS Yes, of COURSE we sang it!

Welp. It's been a very tough time on many levels, but on the bright side, I translated The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird into quasi-liturgical Latin (Avis undas equitat) and set it to an actual Byrd motet (Tui sunt caeli). So there is that.

We saw a ghost the other night, Tâf and I, out on the footpath.
Well. She saw a ghost. I didn’t see anything.
I felt them, though, knew they were there.
One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation.
We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.

One of the things that gets me about them people who are like “they are ending the constitution to distract from the Epstein files, don’t fall for it” is that nobody in power cares about little girls.

Nothing positive, but definitely something.
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

In the very serious world of church musicianship, we observed Advent 2 and by singing Gibbons's "This is the Record of John" and by hanging a printout of the appointed meme on the back of our music director's stand.

So yesterday's sequence hymn was People Look East, & after the gospel, our director of music accompanied the priest's walk to the pulpit with a sweet improvisation on that tune with extraverted flute stops that reminded me a little of the Pastoral Symphony in Messiah.
So I dubbed it Pifa Look East.
OH MY GIDDY GOSH Andrew Bearden’s Missa Sacra Profana, whose “profana” text I wrote, made @kpbssandiego.bsky.social ‘s best-of music list for 2025!!
