Welcome to the new dark age. Guitar, cheap hi-fi, wooden boats, politics, and Lake Superior. He/him. Minnesota. Everyone deserves to be treated humanely. Chinga la migra.
Been working on this Echoplex preamp for a while and finished it this week. Get loud, Minneapolis. GTFO of our city, ICE losers. #guitareffects

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good:
"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

This is what Minneapolis is like right now: City staff in city uniforms are being harassed by fed immigration enforcement for being not white.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

The women of Minneapolis are good and mad.
"Murdering a mother of a 6-year-old child, you're in the wrong place in your soul. God help you! Her son's name is Emerson; Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday!" -Minneapolis ICE protester scolds line of ICE agents ⬇️

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife.
The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

How to write.
When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

Finished a stripboard version of the Chase Tone Secret Preamp. It's based on the AionFX Axion schematic, but uses a 50k trimmer so the JFET bias is adjustable. Once this is boxed I doubt the footswitch will see much of the off position. #guitareffects

When they say Trump calling a reporter "piggy" is "just being honest," they are revealing a key feature of the reactionary mind: it believes, at a deep brainstem level, that *everyone* is awful & selfish & ugly on the inside. Everyone just suppresses it out of fear of social disapproval. Not Trump!

Today I built the AionFX Celeritas, a clone of the Greer Lightspeed. Battery-only for now so I can try it before I label and paint the enclosure. AionFX does great work. I'm floored; this has cured my aversion to soft clipping overdrives. The Lightspeed circuit has some real mojo. #guitareffects

The Bluesky government accounts want unhinged engagement with their accounts to screenshot and provide to Fox News to justify their authoritarianism and I’m not going to do their work for them it’s my day off.

The Trump admin has come to bluesky. These new accounts for gov agencies are not run by anyone we know in the agencies and have all started off with Hatch Act violations.
In true bsky fashion, I'll be blocking the lot of them rather than giving them any engagement.

Breadboarding the Greer Lightspeed, continuing my chase for overdrives that combine well with my home built 18 watt Marshall 1974x. I have the wrong op-amp (Greer uses a costly OPA2134 which I don't have yet) and wrong diodes. It sounds very good though, a simple asymmetric soft clipper.
