When an artist says they're working, they might be reaching for the perfect buzz. This might be through a bit booze, of a mix of music, a piece of politics...a smidgen of self-indulgence and openness. It helps if a muse is in their ear. It's a tightrope with no safety net, yet it sires real art.

Anyone wonder why the Black-bodied Rep Al Green
was censured by Congress for shouting truth to evil during Trump's SOTU while the white-bodied Rep MTG was not censored for screaming LIAR during Biden's SOTU?

Shame on Democrats for not only failing to support Rep Al Green during The State of Dysfunction, but for voting to censure him.

And way LESS maga.

Drunk text to my soulmate while she sleeps:
Bug, the universe has been guiding me for some time now. It really has, and I'm finally seeing it. I'm excited for the future, even as I see how bleak the outlook is for our nation and the world at large. I was born for this shit.

How are you doing, mentally, with the state of our government? I've found a way to stay informed about everything the assholes in power are doing or trying to do, but I doesn't put me in a bad place; it inspires me to be a better man. A man who will fight for every good person, or die trying.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
