Watch for:

-Insurection Act in Blue States to intimidate midterm Voters
-renewed push for a Super SAVE Act in the Senate that will disenfranchise 100M Voters
-renewed attack on mail in ballots by USPS
-renewed attack on Blue State Voter Rolls by our DOJ
-Red States NOT Counting ALL Ballots

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott? Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Yup! It's the same assumption the US had since the War of 1812. Some things haven't changed...

An ICE agent shot a woman to death in her car as she attempted to drive away. He was not in danger. She was not trying to hit him. You can watch her killing in multiple videos and judge for yourself.

Meanwhile, at least 30 Asian immigrants died in ICE custody.

In spite of the uncanny valley that are the CGI humanoids and the silly ways they tried to make the movie longer, The Polar Express is still a fun Xmas classic for me! It feels ominous and tragic yet still purely hopeful and wholesome at the same time 😊 🎄 #thepolarexpress #Xmas #xmasmovie

A green sticky note with written text that reads, " To doubt keeps our smarts, To sprout keeps our hearts, For you can be wary, And still be merry"

Some #wisdomwednesday advice I wrote myself as an overthinker myself 😪🧠

I find being skeptical keeps you safe while optimism keeps you motivated.

The two don't have to cancel each other out AND can help one another.

Claude, an American alligator with albinism, lounging on his favorite heated rock.

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

"What [people] want is meaningful work in free association with others, these associations regulating their relations to one another within a framework of just basic institutions. To achieve this state of things great wealth is not necessary. In fact, beyond some point it is more likely to be a positive hindrance, a meaningless distraction at best if not a temptation to indulgence and emptiness."

From John Rawls' A Theory of Justice.

Just saw #samanthafish live! Amazing #bluesrock guitarist and singer with more feminist-minded lyrics (plus, her iconic cigar box guitar)!

Got her albums Belle of the West and her latest Grammy-nominated work Paper Doll - my favorite albums from her! 😎🔥🎸

Yup! Such an underrated blues player who inspired folks like Robert Johnson and even Jack White of The White Stripes. Not to mention his song Death Letter Blues was what got me down the rabbit hole of classic blues and getting a resonator guitar. One of the OG rockstars b4 rockstars even existed

Some underrated musicians who play blues I recommend:

- Cassie Taylor (a melodic bassist and LGBTQ+ activist)
- Vicki Huang (Taiwanese folk player and DJ)
- Reverend Robert Jones (country blues player, teacher, and educator)
- Samantha Fish (Grammy nominated rockstar)

Anyone else you'd add?

My Favorite Robert Johnson Songs:

1. Kindhearted Woman Blues
2. I Believe I'll Dust My Broom
3. Come On In My Kitchen
4. Terraplane Blues
5. Cross Road Blues
6. Preaching Blues
7. Stones In My Passway
8. Drunken Hearted Man

The amount of AI slop I constantly run into on YT can get demoralizing fast. Not to mention it's often vapid and manipulative generated content. Then again, it's only amplifying what it sees in our already hyper corporatized "pop culture" where everything's a product to sell w/o a soul

A black and white CD cover with photo of a young mid 20s African American man named Robert Johnson smiling while wearing a black tuxedo and holding a guitar. Title of CD is "Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings"

Got CD of all of #RobertJohnson 's songs. A trailblazing Delta Blues player that inspired future #blues musicians. Wild fingerstyle & slide player doing bass + melody at same time! 😲🎸

A rebel for his time who died young, yet still lives on in blues

Will check Memphis Minnie next so stay tuned 🤫

💯! He was raised to be a "killer" so brute force is all he knows, plus it covers up what he lacks. I think of what Mamdani told Cuomo in the 2025 NYC mayoral debate: "What I lack in 'experience', I make up for in integrity. What you lack in integrity, you can never make up for in 'experience'."

*w/o right wing base

Wildly enough, it was my first time seeing that type of guitar and what planted the idea of getting one later. I will say there are country/folk/blues reso players online w/ right wing base. Just that those genres sadly swarmed by elites who want the look, not the spirit + reality of that life

Nice! Gretsch is decent as a brand despite the price (tho not as much as Nationals). What kind of resonator are you looking into? Depending on the sound, there's lots of types you could get like metal body or wood body, single cone vs tricone, biscuit vs spider vs t bridge, etc

My favorite songs from Son House:

1. Death Letter Blues
2. Grinnin in Your Face
3. John the Revelator (cover)
4. Preachin' Blues
5. Walkin' Blues (cover)

Overall, Son House is an intense Delta Blues player and resonator guitarist who inspired many blues players.

The cover of the CD reads "Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues - Son House" and features a picture of an older African American man aka Son House with his straight face, thin mustache, hat, white shirt, and his hand resting over a metal resonator guitar

"Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues - Son House" gives a good overview of the work of Son House - one of my favorite Delta Blues players. While he sometimes lack in variety, he makes up with his aggressive singing and guitar playing, especially in the iconic "Death Letter Blues".

A picture of me as the character Deadpool in Detective outfit rubbing his chin where I have a black top hat, red mask with black eye holes and white slits where my eyes would be. I have a tan trench coat with black gloves on, black tie, white dress shirt, black vest, black pants, and black dress shoes.

Amazing! Heard some sound demos and they sound pretty good. How do these pickups sound when run through pedal effects say distortion? Curious if you have tried any.

Also, tried looking them up and can't seem to find them. Seems like their website's down, but unsure if they stopped selling.

Nice biscuit resonator! It's similar to my own and even parlor sized too! 😊

What pickup are you using for yours? It looks like you have a slim humbucker type with volume and tone knobs, but Im unsure. Plus, I'm trying to get mine amped up too so exploring options to do so

With the rise of AI artists online, I feel it'll make live performances more valuable.

To me, AI artistry's an effort to not pay human artists and have more control over the artist (and the art itself).

I wonder if there are alternatives to Spotify out there. Heard of Quboz, but I'm all ears.
