Yesterday I finished tracking the last song for my new album. It was a dreary day, but as the rain lightly fell outside everything for a moment was in its proper place. It’ll be a while till the record comes out, but just know I can’t wait to share these songs with you. 😌❤️

Working on my parts for my band's new album today, This album goes so hard, Admittedly, my parts are basically none, just some hits and post FX for the most part, but It's still sick and I can't wait for everyone to hear it

no haha it's actually fine I love being held hostage by the dumbest people on earth

Who Killed Hannibal meme from Eric Andre except there's 4 panels and the first one appears 3 times. the first panel labels hannibal in his chair, being shot by eric, as "leftists giving 3 years advance notice that gavin newsom is shit, that he's not a solution to fascism when he also treats marginalized people as disposable, they won't vote for him, and that we need someone better, also democracy or whatever." Eric, who is shooting Hannibal, is labeled "liberals". this panel repeats 2 more times with the number of years reduced in each panel to 2 and 1. the final frame is finally the one when Eric turns to look into the camera and is labeled as saying "this is the left's fault". an image of a street corner with a car and building on fire has been overlaid in the background behind Eric.

Far too many people are unable to shake the nationalist rot in their brains and incapable of realising that criticism of America is not of them, but at the same time, that in failing to meet the moment, they do deserve scrutiny

A deeply frustrating thing I'm running into across the board is the number of people who simply can't believe that America is like this and that Americans can be this evil, They really sincerely believe we are different and better than that, and are unable to confront the fact that we are not

COUNTING WORMS MOSH CALL @hyenablood.yeen.world · 1d

Exhausted w people acting like comparing modern fascists/their underlings to Hitler/his is hyperbolic. Do you think humanity isn't capable of that level of cruelty again or do you just not want to confront the fact that you were suckered into a mindset you were told your whole life is absolute evil?

Public official removes Flock Safety camera that the city unilaterally agreed to remove, gets arrested.

This is what it looks like when a data broker startup has more power than your justice system.

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 1d

A county commissioner tried to take down a License Plate Reader in his jurisdiction where elected officials had ended their contract w/ Flock. Police arrested him.

Who really runs these counties? Politicians gave blank checks to police and are now learning the genie is out of the bottle.

Tolkien was born during the Alaska gold rush and lived to see The Beatles break up, the first human flight all the way to a man on the moon and before electricity was found in the average home up to rock and roll, early disco and the synthesizer.

Your stuff is so good, but don’t forget, you are allowed to be sad or angry too, you are entitled to that in your own work, and sometimes we all need something sad or angry to relate to as well, thank you for making awesome art

The battle for Portland looks terrifying, I often think of my father telling stories of the people dressed as unicorns when he was in Iraq, we couldn’t even go to the carnival anymore without him experiencing a crippling PTSD episode

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

We will not waste energy entertaining blue MAGA, and will not entertain swapping Trump fascism for Starmer fascism, learn from England and see that vote blue no matter who still leads to the place we are now, bring forward a real candidate, or leave the Dams for a real party, that’s it, period.

Northern Lights Audio @northlightaudio.bsky.social · 1d

Going to keep reminding Dems so they don’t waste time getting hopeful for another candidate who will lose, if your candidate is sacrificing any value table group, homeless, immigrants, trans, disabled, BIPOC, they are not electable and not earning our votes, and this can not be negotiated

As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

Disabled people have been trying to explain this for years and are still ignored

Mega💖Dragonite @squishynezui.bsky.social · 1d

I think there needs to be a wider discussion about how badly disabled folks are treated in political spaces. Conservatives and liberals both have an ableism issue. I've seen/have been told by folks all over the political spectrum that my death is acceptable collateral. Unfortunately, I do not agree.

Korg has updated the Microkorg 2 to include support for the LogueSDK world of roll-your-own oscillators and effects. Did a video covering that and my favorite aspects of the synth that's out today:

Yeah, and it’s not like they have to go crazy either, even doubling the team would still leave you with a shockingly small team, it is still amazing what they have done, but a few more people really won’t hurt

To this day the best song lyric I’ve ever heard was Fear Before The March Of Flames with “Where do you go when nowhere feels like home?” And that has been an eternal mood. Let us wonder together, it’s been great having you around

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

To be absolutely clear: if ICE or DHS says something happened, it almost certainly didn't happen.

And even if it did, at this point, the burden is on them to produce evidence. Anybody who gives them even the least benefit of the doubt hasn't been paying attention.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
