Our daughter made this cake for us. The taste? Out of this world!

I received my copy of Jim's book, and I read several chapters right away. He writes so well. It feels like being told a story, and not a fact by fact presentation. I am blown away by the craziness behind this album. Definitely grab a copy for yourself and for fellow music fans in your life.

“People feel it in their guts, on the streets. Abolish them, because otherwise they will execute us.”

Happy birthday, Henry Rollins.

Yes, and unfortunately a lot of us really want to be told what to do without realizing it. it's one of the big bummer side effects of being socialized in this hellscape!

Someone recently uploaded the complete George Lucas’ Super Live Adventure. And what, you ask, is that? It was a short-lived arena show that combined Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, American Graffiti, and everyone’s favorite Lucas film: Tucker: The Man and His Dreams. It’s as nuts as it sounds.

Just over 750,000 people in the U.S. are getting infected with COVID every day. The risk of developing Long COVID goes up with each infection. The upper bound for developing Long COVID after three+ infections is 47%. The average American has had over 5 infections. www.pmc19.com/data/index.php

collaborators suddenly realize that they could cancel their contract for a concentration camp after insisting it wasn’t possible. a world of fascists who have never felt pushback once in their life, suddenly stunned to see everyone hates them. makes you think! kansascitydefender.com/justice/plat...

The first recipe in this rock star cook book is from Ray Parker, Jr. and I had to laugh because the description says “this is actually his wife’s recipe.” Taking credit for other people’s work again, Ray?

With the new York times blocked I often go weeks without seeing an NYT headline and each time I do they are more and more indistinguishable from something the weekly world news would print about bat boy

huge "there's no COVID if we don't test for it" energy

RIP to Bud Cort. We loved him in "Harold and Maude" but he also made a movie where he played the son of Hitler. It was directed by the guy who made the Garbage Pail Kids movie. I watched 5 minutes of it and felt like I was being poisoned. Here's a piece I wrote about it.

I know that there is just so much going on in every direction, but it does really feel like we've reached a point of class divide where the people making Big Money Decisions are an alien species who can't imagine what the rest of us are thinking at any point.

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe. They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

The vast majority of law enforcement agencies in this country are also corrupt gangs who murder with impunity, you fucking moron. Abolish ICE, abolish the police, that's the bare minimum!

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

My colleague, out sick with her third cold of the school year: "Maybe I should go back to masking full time." Me, wearing my mask, still COVID free, and having gotten only one cold in the last 6 years: "Um, yeah, no shit."

Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.

I don't know why conservatives complain about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish. They never listen to lyrics anyway. They think "Born in the USA" is an upbeat patriotic song. They played "We will rock you" on Trump's rallies to rev up the crowd. Trump jerks off two invisible dicks to YMCA.

reminder that scientology isn't just a billion dollar real estate scam, subsidized by american tax dollars, but it's also an international human trafficking cult that covers up sex crimes

The Super Bowl? I prefer to listen to Cheap Trick.

the answer to his hypothetical about a five year old American citizen is his party would like to deny it food and healthcare if its parents are working but poor and that the party would like to tear gas the American child if the parents take the kid to do free speech incorrectly

It's prom night for people who love to watch guys give each other CTE. Can't wait to watch all the rich white guys kiss the trophy at the end, yelling, "We did it! We did it!"

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

I've already had convos with foreign publishers who want to translate MAGNUM OPUS where they say "we can't afford to do this unless we use AI" and I say "no AI, I'll take less $ so you can pay a translator" and they say "AI or nothing!" and then I look the pub up and they're raking in 70 mil a year.

My book MAGNUM OPUS would have been out a few months earlier but the publisher outsourced the copyediting to an AI company and they fucked up the manuscript to an insane degree. The index had listings for the n word and the f slur because I mentioned that Axl Rose sang them in "One in a Million."

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Saw a guy at the grocery store today wearing a Trump shirt. First time I’ve seen that in a while. These shirts used to be real aggressive, like “Trump that bitch!” or whatever. This guy’s shirt said “if you don’t like Trump you might not like me and I am okay with that.” Uh okay, evil Mr. Rogers.

For every dollar we would spend on this stuff, we'd save twice as much on healthcare costs. Year 6 of an airborne pandemic and we still send children into poorly ventilated virus factories while our ERs are short staffed because they're all off sick again. share.google/jEgb05P68chR...

hmmm, sounds like this guy is a little bitch who is living in a constant state of fear

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Ever wanna hear some real loosey-goosey versions of Stooges classics with very pronounced keyboards and the unmistakable backup vocals of David Bowie? Then you gotta check this record out. You can almost taste the drugs. Iggy sings great, though.

Great to see! Wish this was the same in doctors' offices and hospitals. Mindblowing to see how few medical professionals wear masks right now.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

I own the translation rights to MAGNUM OPUS: THE UNBELIEVABLE 15 YEAR SAGA OF GUNS N' ROSES' CHINESE DEMOCRACY and I would love to get it published in other languages! If you live outside the U.S. and UK and know of a publisher who might be interested in such an endeavor, DM me please!

Hmmm, interesting

against you! this bike is a pipe bomb (planted by antifa) reversal of rights

When this is over, and it is warmer, please consider a trip to the Twin Cities. It’s a gorgeous, generous place with great museums and cultural spots, and a walk/blade/bike around the lakes cannot be beat.

A Brazilian Guns N' Roses YouTuber named João Feijó invited me on his channel to interview me about MAGNUM OPUS. Check it out!

having trouble seeing the problem here.

Hey, I was on TV Guidance Counselor! Not a lot of talk about GNR in this one but plenty of early '90s sitcom cheese as Ken and I flip through a vintage issue of TV Guide!
