Little 22-1/2" scale guitar I modded into a pretty cool rock machine for a kid who wants to learn. Epiphone Probuckers and Ernie Ball 11s make it sound legit, and the neck is really nice.

i respect the hummingbirds fighting over their feeder so much. it's like if a guy stood around a 10,000 gallon tanker of Sprite that got replenished every two days and when ever someone else got near he'd walk right up and punch them in the face

Regarding American Dad, I'd say S2 E19 through Season 9 is the "Golden Age." Joint Custody is where all the characters are fully developed. S10-12 are ROCKY. Most recent season I'd say is at about 80%, not bad for a show of its age. #americandad

Two broken guitars are now one, and ready to rock again. New owner wants to play Zeppelin. This should do it.

Trump is the second greatest scam pulled on the American people, only closely following the entire rise of originalism.

President Trump on Thursday instructed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin shutting down her agency, a task that cannot be completed without congressional approval and sets the stage for a seismic political and legal battle over the federal governmentโ€™s role in the nationโ€™s schools.

Surrounded by schoolchildren seated at desks in the East Room of the White House, Mr. Trump signed a long-awaited executive order that he said would begin dismantling the department โ€œonce and for all.โ€ The Trump administration has cited poor test scores as a key justification for the move.

โ€œWeโ€™re going to shut it down, and shut it down as quickly as possible,โ€ Mr. Trump said.

The department, which manages federal loans for college, tracks student achievement and supports programs for students with disabilities, was created by an act of Congress. That means, according to Article I of the Constitution, that only Congress can shut it down. That clear delineation of power, a fundamental component of democracy from the inception of the United States, underscores why no other modern president has tried to unilaterally shutter a federal department.

Credit where credit is due. This is the original Times story reporting on this, and it appears today on the top of page 1 in the paper edition. These are the opening paragraphs, which do a great job of providing legal and constitutional context. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

weโ€™re all for celebrating trans punk bands and obviously celebrate the movement.

but if the only way you can describe trans punk artists is through a punk lens, because youโ€™re incapable of seeing their trans identities as valid, or describing them in an affirming way,

get the fuck out.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to powerโ€ฆ.
