I'm feeling increasingly annoyed that there is a film out called 'Is This Thing On?' a GenXers romance, and this Less Than Jake Song isn't central to the big emotional beats of the film, or literally anything to do with it. Wtf.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Aerial photos from Gaza this past week reveal the horrific scale of destruction Israel has inflicted on the 25-mile strip. The devastation is reminiscent of Hiroshima. Israel’s war crimes continue to mount by the day.
