Imagine being known for getting the end-of-the-world prophecy wrong. How do you pivot from that?

Today is Bandcamp Friday. 100% of sales go to the artists. My new album is available for pre-order on digital and vinyl (and a bundle) and is VERY Kentucky, with liner notes by Jessica K. Whitehead, album design by Sarah Flood-Baumann, and the whole thing was recorded by the legendary Dave Chale.

Cover art for my album called Piano Trio No. 2/winterloops. The artwork is by Harlan Hubbard and is of the Ohio River in shades of brown and blue gray

not true

Kyle Kulinski on Twitter posts an illustrated image, where Laura Loomer tells Hasan Piker "WE'RE DEPORTING YOU BACK TO TURKEY." In the drawing, Hasan Piker replies: "I was born in New Jersey."

Laura Loomer replies to Kyle: "The left has no sense of humor."

On September 6, 2024, Laura Loomer posts a video, where she eats dog food. She writes on Twitter: "I just ate dog food. It's human grade. Which means you and your dog can share a taste, nutrient dense treat together. Order yours today at [link]"

I post a screenshot of this tweet and write: "i setup a fake dog food company last month, bought purina at the pet store, and paid laura loomer $100 for this post."
