What a total wet shit stain this guy is. Pathetic! I prefer when he is off on one of his frequent family vacations, so I don’t have to hear his voice.

I have a core group of 5 or 6 people that I have been close friends with for most of my life. I definitely feel lucky to have them!

preferably extreme violence.

Thanks so much!

I really liked that Silver Haze record that they put out a couple of years back!

An Orgin Story (of sorts...) A music newsletter/blog?  In 2025? How original.  I know. Right? Not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Not trying to reinvent anything.  This is total self-indulgence, nothing more, nothing less.  ...

So I've been doing this thing, very sporadically.
Still a work in progress, figuring stuff out, finding its footing and such. But it's out there. I guess that's something.

Do with this information what you will.
Gently, please.

One week from tomorrow! In DC!!

A new piece of mine commissioned by ensemble Nikel gets premiered.

Say hi if you're there. I'll probably be the only person in a mask and obviously I look like a bass player.

It's not famine, its GENOCIDE.

Don't let semantics deflect guilt.

A beach scene. Sand stretching to the ocean. Gentle rolling waves with whitecaps. Other beachgoers in the distance.

Current situation. Recommended.

It’s the avocados. It’s the avocados.

Our public school helped us immeasurably through a family tragedy.

They brought food, teachers showed up round the clock, and they helped kickstart a fundraiser. I understand precisely what this writer means when she says public schools "are the beating heart of many communities."

Okay. I think the time has come for me to admit something to all of you guys…

I really don’t like guacamole.

I’ve tried most of my adult life and it’s just not happening.

I feel better getting this off my chest.

Thanks for your support.

It’s truly a listening pleasure. Thank you for creating and sharing!

The company that paid trumps extortion money is getting rid of Colbert for “ financial reasons “
Strict bullshit - I suspect .

“Christianity is merely a system for turning priestesses into handmaidens, queens into concubines, and goddesses into muses.”

― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

Wow, not cool at all!

Death and pain and careless disregard are the entire operating premise of this administration. And of course extorting as much money as possible for the oligarchs, from said death and pain, whenever possible. It’s not ineptitude, it’s intention.

Alien Enemies | Brandon Shimoda The torturers have been revising, the gestapos have been busy, and the prisons have been full for generations.

During World War II, the U.S. government disappeared more than a quarter-million Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans under the Alien Enemies Act. Now, Trump is reviving the law. @brandonshimoda.bsky.social reflects on the horror of history repeating.

Israeli plan for forced transfer of Gaza’s population ‘a blueprint for crimes against humanity’ Military ordered to turn ruins of Rafah into ‘humanitarian city’ but experts call the plan an internment camp for all Palestinians in Gaza

A “humanitarian city”?

The white house wants to cut off access to crucial records of the country's history

these are archives created by the American public, and they ought to be much more reasonably accessible to the public
