Lost a really great artist with D'Angelo. I'd wish his family all the best. And definitely going to be listening to some Black Messiah today.

I think "why" is pretty straightforward. As is I hope you fucking deliver.

I like AOC. She is what governance if I think governance is doing right. The number of times I've screamed "YO GIRIL!"' is well.... rare in politics. She inspired me day to day.

Better show. Better characters. Better show. And I swear to the gods I've had a few I came out to her confessions.

I love the "fag upon paticipation" of women trope. I highly prefer to be in the company of women. Yet, sexually it's a roll of the dice. I'm rather be asexual if I can help it.

Makes it weird in that I am very gregarious.

When I have protested before we have adopted a light signal reference. Green meant have for the like as fun as your first amendment goes. Yellow is where you test the cops. Red is where you challenge retaliation. So on that, learn what to not say to police

Damn. I didn't either. Thus one. 😆

I do not wish my grandparents would have lived to see the ICE shit just picking people off the sidewalk.

They were partisans in WWII, and were inducted to the US army. This is the kinda shit that resonates. This is the SS.

I really hate the Epstein Files contingent. They are not the ones who insist upon that we show them, I'm full on agreement there.

But to those jackassess who act like everything is a distraction and that nothing else in politics is important, Fuck off.

Per se Trumps so called religion, he was fielded the most softball question: what does faith in God mean to you? And immediately, straight of the cuff, he went onto how Christians love him and adruently pray for him, never ever one tackled once the question that even a basic could have flubbed.

If you want, bearing how pathetic the Trump administry is with this alleged "Antifa" group with no arrests as such, no trails, and least of all one leader. Obama's admin captured and killed Osama Bin Laden.

Trump's intelligence is costumes.

I am very happy to wait a bit, because it meants you are really a super soldier. You're too good at what you did, not your problem!

I preordered it a month ago, and it came back backordered. I don't mind. I'd rather you be blazing shit and I can wait. My impatience has limitedless...

Cheers, I shall stand

RIP D'Angelo. Black Messiah is one of the greatest Neo-Soul albums I've ever listened to.

I lived in Portland for almost the whole of the '10s. Yeah. I have a lot of shit to say about Portland, but my deeply beloved friends that
I meant seem to be still going on and about life as if there was never a catastrophic moment.

For me, I can remain skepticism with hope. It's not a contraction. I am not a New Yorker, but I sure as fuck want Mamdani to win. If he's elected, he can still be criticized as much as any politician can be. And I hope NYC would hold him to the task he promised. That's just democracy shit.

A new Panopticon album and a new Taylor Swift album in one year. Thanks to the gods of fate. And a Goslings reunion. A new Swans.

2025 has been kind to me, musically.

Don't just let these protests be restricted to things you hate, but let them turn towards what you want the future to be. If protest isn't constructive as much as it deconstructs it's fucking worthless.

As a someone who has been "black bloc" for decades, I will see you all on the 18th. And will I be masked up in black and throwing bricks at the cops...? No. I plan to be in bright pink and maybe making frog memes.

The adaptability that we have ALWAYS adopted as protest is why they cannot pin us.

That neighbor, who lives a few houses/blocks from you down the pass, cares far fucking more for the same things YOU do than either Trump or--fight me--someone like Biden ever will.

This disconnection is why our society is fucked up.
