I don't know who needs to hear this, but AI background removal tools are trash, they look like shit, and you shouldn't be making videos with them.
OBS is free. Half a bolt of green fabric isn't going to break the bank. Maybe $30 on some good cool white LED drop lights, and boom.

It's pretty clear that Christians in Nigeria are far, far more valuable to the Trump Administration than, say, Kids in American Schools...

My parents, my teachers, they all tried to tell me: "Being a rock star isn't realistic."
That's weird, because my t-shirts are in Hawai'i, the United Kingdom, and a whole bunch of places in between. If being a rock star isn't realistic, then rocking stages and selling shirts can't be... Right?!?

I genuinely don't understand K-Pop fans. If they knew what was going on, they'd be demanding each and every act be released from their contracts, not supporting such a vile system by buying records.
Seriously: The K-Pop system makes Japan's IDOL system look warm and inviting by comparison.

On cruise control for the remainder of the day. Each year gets a bit more stressful, but I always seem to manage it and get by. I started participating in 2017, so it's been quite the journey...

Bari Weiss doesn't seem to understand the Internet all that well. Doesn't matter how many takedowns she has her legal schmucks file - they can't take down every copy that's already been made.
And there will be more made, promise...

Only one obstacle remains: Tomorrow, I absolutely need to go to the grocery store. Gonna spend the afternoon foolproofing my playlist and making sure my cans are fully charged...

Video Title: "2025: The Quiet Death of Wrestling."
Quiet? Really?!? It started with the fall of Vince McMahon, the TKO merger with UFC wasn't exactly under the radar, and TKO itself is shouting to the heavens and anyone who will listen that they're pricing themselves out of wrestling fans' wallets.

One thing I pretty much never do is use my performer status to get on anyone's guest list. Number one, there just isn't enough notoriety to what I do to warrant it, and number two, I'm the kind of guy who supports his friends rather than ask them for favors...

That's a wrap on my house gig season. Next remote gig? December 26th. The only remaining threats are gas stations (which I shouldn't need until Friday) and the grocery store, which is what ANC cans are for.
Looks like Year 8 is in the bag. Still haven't been sent to #Whamhalla, not even once...

Getting the Wing up and running has brought on a mild case of GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome. For starters, I need to upgrade my stage monitors, which will be the first target for 2026. I also wouldn't mind developing a fairly sizable touch device for general house gig applications...

Just got back from the last gig of the season at a venue where I have zero playlist control. Needless to say, I survived. Gig tomorrow at the home bar, where the playlists have been pre-altered. Next outside gig is December 26th... A day over.

When I graduated in 1996, there were 120 of us in Band.
The most recent version of it I've seen has maybe 30.

When my Oldest graduated in ‘21, his band program was down to 8 kids due to administrative decisions made when he was in 5th grade that discouraged kids from being in band.
There are now 19 kids in the high school band and 21 in junior high.

Pete Hegseth's entire scam has relied on one premise: That his "reforms" will appeal to a segment of the military chain of command that misses the "old way" of doing things.
His problem is, nobody misses the "old way" of doing things, except day drinking wank pheasants like Pete Hegseth.

Reality: That's called being a professional and doing the job on the way out. Like we didn't know this would happen the moment he announced his farewell tour.
Everyone's a mark now. It's not an exposè.

I know it's a problematic record for a few reasons, but Dennis Leary's "No Cure for Cancer" is still infinitely quotable, and the NyQuil routine remains among the album's best. "NyQuil, NyQuil, NyQuil, we love you, you giant fuckin' Q!"
Being sick makes you think less. I went to the grocery store in search of knock-off Big Fuckin' Q products, and forgot to take my headset.
Thankfully, the Christmas playlist at the store did NOT include "Last Christmas." Still here. Still undefeated. #Whamageddon
