Damn it, the hits keep coming, and not the good kind. Glad I got to see Joe Ely — touring as part of the reunited Flatlanders with Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock — back in 2000. RIP to a country-rock legend.
Texas royalty Joe Ely has passed away today.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Our latest wild story.

Please note that this is a set up for denaturalizing citizens and setting up deportation camps for anyone who disagrees with Stephen Miller.

Also please note that these fascists are bound to lose.

Find your organizing home, join your neighbors, and stand up to these clowns wherever you see them.
NEW: 6th Cir upholds the fed law barring undocumented immigrants from having guns.

What's shocking, though, is Judge Thapar's separate opinion arguing that noncitizens lack not only 2nd Am rights, but likely 1st, 4th & other const'l rights! 🧵

this is such a painful loss. my heart is broken.

He is irredeemably broken, morally and mentally. And so is everyone who continues to support him, because of ignorance, hatred, greed, or some combination.

Every day he is not impeached and removed is another grave stain on this country, and to Hell with those in any party who won't even try.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

I'm put in mind of those procedural shows where the FBI shows up and all the locals are like "Fucking great, the fucking FBI is here" except now it's worse because Kash Patel has arrived in a tiny clown suit being carried on the shoulders of a behemoth.
Providence police released a 19-second video showing a “person of interest” walking along a sidewalk.

The video appears to have been recorded about 700 feet away from the hall where the shooting took place.

I think this is correct. Yes, he's always said horrible things, but usually you can glean some kind of reptilian political calculus.

This gains him nothing, and is an repugnant attack on a murdered man whose movies were beloved by the entire political spectrum.

If you were playing Fortnite, it's time to stop. These companies gotta get the message that there are just some things we won't tolerate just for the sake of entertainment.

This is probably accurate and also at this point I can't arsed to do any of that. I decided a while back that I wanted social media to be my recreation, not my job. I could try to be an influencer, or I could write novels and other stuff I actually enjoy doing. I'm happy with my choices.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
