Seems like an obvious question few are asking:

Why were they recruiting from Mara Lago?

THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA!

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.

Yay! I did it! 🙄

I'm totally going to take all my music off Spotify as soon as I get a chance.

This is a crappy company that is making it more difficult to be a musician every single day.

In case the future wasn’t bright enough for ya:

Spotify plus Chat GPT, why get recommendations from friends when you can let a machine choose for you?

Furthermore, why have friends in the first place?

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Trying desperately to finish Hacks before HBO jacks up the price in November.

Gotta draw the line somewhere. $33/month?

Holy crap, that's outrageous.

More apps are rolling out Liquid Glass look updates and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Why is everyone going along with this? This is the ugliest Apple design decision I've ever seen.

Just got the new ios 26 on my ipad.

Whoooa. Liquid glass? How did this get approved, Tim Apple?

Not only can states prosecute felonious federal officials, it is a tactic that has been championed by some on the right, as I discuss here.
States can step into the breach
Just because Pam Bondi won't hold Trump's thugs accountable doesn't mean they're above all laws.

Are any other artists on @Bandcamp having trouble with the website today?

I don't see the top bar with stats and stuff anymore. I can't still get to it with the right url, but this is weird.

When I got in the car with my dad and he asked me how the drum lesson went, I said "fine." But I knew he could tell I didn't mean it.

I’m in the US for a couple of weeks.

So my stepdad had the tv on and an ad came on for Ram trucks that made me feel afraid for the republic.

No more US tv for me.

Most of my “screen time” is between here and YouTube.

I’ve noticed an uptick in AI videos on YouTube that are actually really well done… I hate to admit.

The one’s I’m seeing are of the quasi-scientific persuasion, which means we should be really worried because no one is fact-checking this slop.

Am I going nuts or is this actually seriously heavy stuff?

I don’t usually watch David Pakman, but if this is true, what is the remedy?

This post by @tedgioia.bsky.social makes clear what I've known in my bones for a while: social media is a dead end for artists.

Even if listeners did want to leave their social feed when they hear music they like, they can't remember what it was.

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.
