My bandmate and I have been planning this really special night in SF. It's a private show where we're running our own sound and bar and there's amazing art being shown. With the feds raiding SF it feels like both the wrong time and perfect time to be doing this, so I hope you'll join us this Sat.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

You can also do a tremendous amount of stuff using the free tier of Playfab.

Two years ago everyone bullied us into making this... And now it's real.

We're making a Bubsy 3D Sequel.

News article from The Guardian saying Israel has another war in Gaza over Narrative.

News article from The Guardian saying Israel has another war in Gaza over Narrative.

Israel has no "Gaza War" - not for Gaza, nor for narrative. Israel massacres Palestine as its fascist genocidal solution to the Nakba's echoes, and massacres the truth with US/EU support.

Journalists, aid workers, infants, educators, athletes, poets, artists - they're obstacles to extermination.

Palestine is not complicated. Itโ€™s colonized land. Its people are occupied, starved, and bombed. And they are fighting back as they have every right to do. You either support liberation or you support apartheid. Pick a side.

โ€œ.. The news on Israelโ€™s main TV channel had just finished a segment on how hunger in Gaza is portrayed around the world when the anchor looked up and said: โ€˜Maybe itโ€™s finally time to acknowledge that this isnโ€™t a public relations failure, but a moral one.โ€™โ€

Whatever evil you think of when you think "supreme evil", Israel is worse. To destabilize Gaza, they armed the gangs stealing the UN-supplied aid, blamed Hamas & the UN for the theft, then installed shoot-civilians-testicles-for-points Israeli and US mass-murderers to "run the aid distribution".

Man. The fact that the Dow fucking Jones, Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal are more actively combating Trump than bastions of "liberal" media like the NYT, WAPO or CBS shows that institutional liberalism is rotted to the core.
