The guy who removed the only analytical chemist from the Air Products Lake Maurepas Monitoring Project. "a routine adjustment" lol

I was on a Cocteau Twins jag after a Felt one, but after seeing a clip of the talentless dopes Adam Carolla & Jay Mohr call Lou Reed a poseur- lol. Time more for Reed. Velvet Underground alone secured his legacy.

My Rick Veitch book came in. Until his Swamp Thing run was collected, I'd forgotten he was a favorite writer, in addition to artist, because all of my comics are boxed up, stowed in a closet.

Trump's bullshit might get LIGO shut down. Even some of the local MAGA chuds are proud of that project. This won't go over well. www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

Apparently being on the ICE payroll isn't the payday they wanted.

Masters of disguise.

Rod Dreher needs to shut the fuck up.

Realizing that the next Tom Waits album won't have Larry Taylor on it at all. This sucks.

I don't want to go to work today. I want to go to the Land of Chalk Drawings.

Lol. I threw on a "new" album. Overproduced. Slick. Thick. I wasn't into it. It doesn't belong in 2025. It sounded like an Obama era album- it turned out it actually was. Lol

I must've head Tronics before because I wallowed in the Messthetics compilations from Hyped 2 Death yet I don't recall them at all. This rules.

New York Times editorial board doing a lousy job of sheepdogging. They just love his presidency too much, no matter how embarrassing they find him.

"If you meet Elon Musk on the road [tos violation]."

The Verlaines chanting "Verlaine. Verlaine. Verlaine. Verlaine." in Death & the Maiden caused my brain to get stuck again.

I often mull on the the white secessionist city breaking away from Bayon Rouge is named after Christofascists' favorite saint.

The apartment of a cool and normal guy.

Penguin didn't think through what happens to new white covered books sitting on shelves for any amount of time. They get smeared with dirt & ink. Now I'm excited for the number of cool remaindered books in the coming year.

Rubythroats loving the new Van Remsen salvia in yard.

*Enshittification intensifies*

I'm in a vein of Stereolab, Broadcast, Belle & Sebastian, and Electrelane- somewhere between 1997 & 2005.

I don't believe we'll have real elections anymore but this is still an extremely good & funny post to read with Slotkin fuming at the word "oligarchy" & going anti-woke.

Today I tried data processing while listening to Datapanik in the Year Zero. It did not go well.

The new monochrome editions of Penguin Classics? You'd better believe that's another symptom of fascism. Yup.

Check out all the toadflax seeds I've harvested.

Yglesias is praising himself on alts here. What a loser.

Back at LSU AGcenter spring plant sale.

ICE in Lafayette, Louisiana

Jfc did the "AI: The New Aestheics of Fascism" article call it newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

“She is now being held in an ICE detention facility, in a room shared with 80 other women.”

Who the hell said that? They're obvious idiots. Name the names. They need to be ignored forever.

Kid got to part of Tom Sawyer where he meets Huck Finn. Now he feels he needs a dead cat. The kid doesn't even have a wart. He wants a conversation starter.

Pig pig pig pig pig pig... Pig Moon.

Does anyone have Billmon news?

Dolts online will regurgitate, "Social Security is a scam," without once considering not compensating someone for the actual value of their labor would be a bigger scam.

Remember Jennifer Kerkhoff, the former DC US Attorney who tried to lock up #J20 protesters mass arrested at Trump's inauguration for 80+ years? She goes by Jennifer Kerkhoff Muyskens now and her ethics trial at the DC Bar starts today - she could get disbarred: www.youtube.com/@d.c.bprhear...

Searching for the unironic use of "thoughtcrime" to see what they're posting about Mahmoud Khalil is kinda predictable.

Because I've been reading Palo Alto, to be reminded of Stanford's roots in eugenics, I've pulled out some Stephen Jay Gould collections I've not read in decades.

I had no idea Mickey 17 would play in my town. Damn. By the time I scrape together money & time it'll be gone though probably.

ICE attempted to enter her residence without a warrant.

Hearing this morning that NASA has just laid off their chief scientist, among others….

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building

Burn twitter, burn.

John Caine, Trump's pick for chairman of Joints Chief of Staff, went from Defense Department Black Programs to the CIA, then recently to this military contractor Voyager, which is partnered with Palantir on AI for national security programs.

It still blows my mind that Big Balls Coristinex is the grandson of rat fink exKGB spy Valery Martynov, who turned traitor on the USSR, working for the FBI & CIA. t.co/DUEoWUp87w

incoming commissioner of the Social Security Administration Frank Bisignano is 100% hatchet man. Nothing in his career is administration of existing assets. He only knows how to cut. t.co/gzmd2WwzFX

When DOGE is mentioned in news posts that go viral on Twitter, it appears Elon Mus has those posts suspended for moderation.

Don't get hopes up. They're looking forward to the next fascist who'll stabilize their markets. They're not done with their wrecking ball.

This foolishness made its way to Twitter. Knock it off. The Nazis stole gold teeth from corpses & hoarded the hair of concentration camp prisoners. Our current fascists are plenty dangerous. People are dying from rapacious greed & delusion.

I think looking at NRx (neoreactionary movement) is probably the best starting point, and most obviously (to my eyes) what it looks like Musk and Co are trying to accomplish with DOGE

Peter Thiel's flunkies hoovering up yet more data for his new incarnation of the Phoenix Program. Everything's fine.
