I deeply resent the current regime has me writing protest songs. It’s pretty good though, imo. You should watch the video and do the YouTube interactions (like/comment etc.). First song I’ve written on the baritone ukulele rather than the piano.

I learned to cook turkey in self-defense. My grandma’s view was, the bird is done when you can braid twine from the breast meat. A few holidays later she said, “Try not to undercook the turkey this year, Jim.” So my plan worked.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

Okay. Yes. We’re bored now. We’re all bored. But has it ever occurred to you, Charlie Brown, that the process which creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money?

Everything's in ruins, Charlie Brown, everything's been degraded, but I could say that they've ruined and degraded everything, because this is not some kind of cataclysm coming about with so-called innocent human aid, on the contrary, it's about man's own judgment over his own self, which of course–

I’d suggest offering more than one thing- hey can I get you something? We have beer, coke, lemonade and water!
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Anyone calling for a return to normalcy without consequence needs to have their career ended immediately so we can get people in office willing to do what is needed, which is to build a new and better normal, having disarmed and defunded the corporatist fascist occupation of our government.

Also, America doesn’t do slick regime change now, if it ever did. What it does is: it collapses the government then leaves the country to fall into violent anarchy, so that it’s ripe for domination by friendlier countries in the region. You can decide whether that’s by accident or design.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism.
It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.

WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them
