This is exactly why I hate the Republican party, So much of their ethos is based on the idea that anyone who needs help is lazy or a crook. The "Welfare Queen" lie is the classic example. It will never change. They will never change. They are loathsome in their superiority and faux piety.

Right before what's expected to be the worst US flu season to date. Plus Covid. And RSV. And...

I’m catching a matinee of Bugonia. When I ordered popcorn, the guy asked if I wanted butter. When I said no he said, “Good. You get the stuff I just popped. The butter people get yesterday’s because they can’t tell the difference. Lesson learned.

If people want a his-res 12x12 version of the Skull Valley Sheep Kill band flyer, I can put up a PNG for download. Let me know.

By the way, for folks who haven't figured it out, the name Skull Valley Sheep Kill comes from a real incident that occurred in Utah.

To relax between big projects, I play around a lot in Photoshop and sometimes make imaginary products. If you've read Sandman Slim you'll recognize the band. I took the sheep skeleton shot in the desert somewhere east (?) of LA.

Good morning

Holy fuck, Youtube. I start a video to watch Woody Harrelson eat increasingly punishing hot sauces and am instantly jolted into a HOT UKRANIAN WOMEN WANT TO MEET YOU ad. When did you start dabbling in human trafficking? And is this just a hobby or an investment strategy because my 401K is shit.

It's not a deal; it's a surrender.

Vote these Democrats out of office:
Tim Kaine- Virginia
Angus King- Maine
Dick Durbin- Illinois
Jacky Rosen– Nevada
John Fetterman– Pennsylvania
Catherine Cortez Masto- Nevada
Maggie Hassan- New Hampshire
Jeanne Shaheen- New Hampshire

Charles Schumer- New York

Chuck Schumer is the death of hope. The democrats better figure that out and get rid of him or MAGA will hammer them until there's nothing left.

Thank you

cider in my Satanic Temple mug

a pile of new books including Italo Calvino, Thomas Pynchon, Eric LaRocca, Giorgio de Maria, etc

a big pile of new blu-rays including Orson Welles' Macbeth, Repulsion, Masque of the Red Death, Performance, etc

The first mulled cider of the season was a success. I used Aspen spices and a shot of dark rum. For those who always ask, here are the books and blu-rays on the coffee table. Lots of good titles in both piles.

Warren Zevon in a suit

I've been thinking about Warren Zevon. He's all over Sandman Slim. Here are 3 important songs.
DISORDER IN THE HOUSE is about Stark’s entire wild and messy life.
KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART is Stark’s song to Candy when he’s gone.
For me, DESPERADOS UNDER THE EAVES is the best song ever written about LA.

That's an amazing idea

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamp Benefits

This is genuinely psychotic behavior
"The Trump administration told states to undo any steps to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if the states do not comply. It was unclear how that would affect the program."

Great idea.

That's one of my favorite Calvinos.

YouTube video by Warren Zevon - Topic Desperados Under the Eaves (2008 Remaster)

Last night, Warren Zevon was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His work was a big influence on Sandman Slim and there are a lot of very obvious references to his work in the last couple of books. Warren also wrote my favorite song about LA.
