Do not let pro-Putin voices exploit current events to launder their own agenda.

You can be against American intervention without dismissing years of documented war crimes committed by the Russian state. (1)

Sometimes there’s a day when every visitor to my studio comments on the same picture.

Today this small Monk picture has been getting all the attention.

Other days, it’s other pictures.

There’s no logic to it…..

So here’s what I want to remind everyone of. The bombing is very bad. But no, it does not mean:
1. WW3
2. Elections are cancelled
3. Drafts are happening.

This is happening because ultra-idiot thinks he can distract from Epstein and can cancel elections. And he’s, as always, wrong. Take some peace

The wisest among us have always recognized religion as nothing more than the ability to control the masses from the time of the cave. It is evil presented as the most desirable good making it acceptable to those without the will or acumen to understand.

Just got this. What a great guitar! New tuners, lower the action, lighter strings, great sound! Might need a new bridge pickup.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Main things helping me with depression/anxiety right now:

1. Taking my Prozac every day (meds might not be right for you and that’s cool, too)
2. Exercise. I hate it, but I break a sweat 5x a week at Pilates or on walks
3, seeing friends. Esp important if you live alone.
4. 7-8 hours sleep

Curiosities in the vintage guitar world aren't restricted to the 1970s and 1980s. Even Leo Fender came up with oddities. The 'hockey stick' headstock on CRAVE Guitars' lovely 1966 Fender Electric XII.

All of this is happening because Donald Trump doesn’t want to lose power and die in prison for raping children, selling government secrets, and money laundering to other nations.

Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.
