…and then the 2025 election happened, proving the electoral impacts are already here.

read and share my deep dive on the bipartisan AI techlash shaping our elections before our eyes!

Reasons Not to Love a Data Center Below are some concerns others have raised about data centers. How convincing do you find each one as a reason to oppose data centers in your area? Very convincing Somewhat convincing Not very convincing Not at all convincing… Consumes a lot of electricity 50% 46% 27% 16% Harms the environment 44% 29% 17% Uses a lot of water 40% 28% 21% Strains local infrastructure 38% 30% 21% Too few permanent jobs 38% 30% 21% Takes up a lot of land 36% 29% 22%

I was unaware of this part of the premise and now am way more interested. Haha.

this is fucking right 👏

we are not a pool that can be drained. we are a million tiny streams coming together into a powerful river that cannot be stopped. we have always been and will always be ✊🏳️‍⚧️

What a time to be alive.

TRUE.

actually doing revolutionary work means you also must contend with present material reality while building a movement for the future. it is hard to hold those two things at the same time without being subsumed by the former but not impossible

Any politician waxing poetic about Cheney and his “family values” is a fucking ghoul and should be treated as such.

Who are the victims? CIVIIIIIIILIAAAAANS!

We bought a box of the “Share Size” and it probably shortened my life by five years. 100% worth it.

Robots stealing jobs from people who write atrocious money grab ballads about world events.

I wrote an entire album about this incident and its ramifications, but (ironically) haven’t had time to finish recording and releasing it.

I see how they would connect in any way shape or form. I felt I was destined to write a whole bunch of singles! But somehow, some way, other songs and ideas sprung out of those original songs and weirdly enough created bridges between them that allowed me to see the path back to another record.

I guess what I'm saying is, this album surprised me... and I hope it surprises you to!

It's honestly kinda crazy I'm releasing "Kaleidoscope" on Friday because well, this guy in the photo never thought it would ever exist.

I started making songs like "Little Self-Indulgent," "Flower Box" and "Pity Party" in the summer of 2024 and just really felt they were all too different

Happy birthday!

New Now, Now now.

My kid (Sam) running sound for the marching band. A six foot one kid with blond hair standing at a digital mixer on a football field.

Final band contest performance of the year.

I still need to watch that… it was filmed here, including some in the mall where our cat cafe is…

Now they’re stupid expensive.

I always wanted the Supernova…

Never seen “but it’s ok” working so hard.

We’ll be back again in May. 🥧 👀
