Funny thing about our latest album, In Retrograde, is that it’s doing better in The Philippines than pretty much anywhere else. Who’s number 2 in the Big Green fan club? Indonesia, that’s who. Could have knocked me over with a feather when they told me that. www.big-green.net/bg/2025/09/w...

Perhaps Trump's most toxic legacy.
It’s horrific and inexplicable. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are objectively pro-cancer. They’re destroying the entire infrastructure that has made so much progress and is poised to make much more. People will suffer and die because of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths.

My new plan is to ask AI how to build the super AI that all these idiots are spending all their money trying to figure out how to build. Then I will ask how to get the money to build it. Then I will ask it to build itself & keep the money. And then it will be dinner time so I will ask it for pizza.
