Special Music Martes to commemorate one of the all time rock and roll miscreants Ozzie Osborne. Here's Crazy Train by Metalachi. youtu.be/g_5y5KrBoO8?...

Music Monday for real this time. One of our all time favs Six Finger Satellite with Padded Room. youtu.be/qcNEhD0GVp0?...

"Anything time-consuming is on the way out. Truth is time-consuming. Where bits of information come in quick succession, we have no time for truth. In our post-factual culture of excitement, communication is dominated by affects and emotions. As opposed to rationality, these are temporarily..."

We were just reading about Darren Cullen's installation Aparthied Apartments and discovered this gem from his work with Veterans for Peace. Let's all stop doing this war thing for the elites, fighting each other to protect their interests. It's dumb. youtu.be/8KtyMcb86go?...

Thursday already, damn. Here's a song by Agnostic Front that sort of optimizes our feelings about the current American moment. youtu.be/kK7YZYTQbuA?...

Nick Fuentes, ew, as reported by TFN, has criticized the President and his administration for its handling of the Epstein files, saying that "We're going to look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right we will see Trump as a scam artist." 😮

Brilliant. 🔥

We heard that there's a black market moisturizer ring run by the TSA.

What China's hukou enforcement can tell us about ICE (Part 1)

Thank God the Climate Crisis is over. Of course, we have to watch out for that tsunami of philanthropy that's coming once these new tax laws kick in. Soak it up America.

In the zero sum game of American capitalism the logic is if someone else's life gets worse (immigrants, elderly, the poor) then our lives get better. We would never accuse MAGA of logical thoughts, but this is the vibe. Throw in a little sadism and righteousness and the recipe is complete.

The bill just passed the house. Now our only hope is that the President will veto it.

This is truly disgusting. Anyone who buys or wears one of these abominations ought to be punched in the face. Maybe even repeatedly. We're sure Trump and Noem will be sporting this garbage soon, proving again the depths of their sadism and hatred for humankind.

Life has caught us in its jaws and is trying to take us down. We long for a different time when we were care free and a little cocaine wasn't a possible death sentence. youtu.be/2Kha_d3ElX8?...

It's not about claiming correctness, superiority or righteousness. We are in a conversation with life, every day making choices and challenging their motivation and outcomes. And yes, sometimes we're on autopilot and do dumb shit. Not an excuse, just an observation about life.

Musica Martes; today the Wipers, with Over the Edge! Are we there yet? youtu.be/n7SXX4ZXXFE?...

Jesus Christ, lacking sandals, a comb, or a spoon was unable to produce sufficient evidence of citizenship and was subsequently detained by ICE. DHS officials confirm that they've actively been seeking Christ for alleged crimes against the State. Trump says he prefers "baby Jesus" to this one.

Well played Benjie, you got our gullible hack to play into your genocide and broader war. Golf claps all around. All because somebody called the orange goblin a pussy. Cosplay us right into WWIII why don't you. There's nothing good on TV anyway.

Another amazing music Monday, Second Skin, by the Gits. Timeless. youtu.be/-75354hLXao?...

Interesting note about TACOs speech at Fort Bragg, during which he made several mentions of its brief name change and of other forts named for Confederate traitors. Braxton Bragg is considered one of the worst generals of the Civil War. Repeated defeats and heavy casualties. A loser, as he'd say.

Yesterday TACO addressed the soldiers at Fort Bragg, where he repeatedly mischaracterized the LA protests and attempted to dehumanize the crowd and paint them as foreign invaders. He clung to the lectern as he made his bid to the Army, saying in so many words, follow me into fascism! So sad.

Take a break from the doom scrolling to rock out to another music Monday special from Bad Brains, We're Only Gonna Die. The Republicans have suggested that we shut up and die, but we prefer to go loudly, thank you very much. youtu.be/YjuyS3zB_xw?...

From Marcus Rediker's book Outlaws of the Atlantic:... Just have to point out the obvious, that the State alone doesn't have a monopoly on sanctioned violence. And that our very foundation as a nation was an insurrection. Brings us back to the idea of a credible threat. "Stand down and stand-by"

Fox News reports that the President has mobilized the national guard to protect the citizens of Los Angeles! They ignore the fact that the protests are being undertaken by the citizens of California, and that Trump rarely if ever thinks of anyone but himself, unless it is to blame or defame them.

From "Make Germany Great Again" to "Make America Great Again"... Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. --Voltaire

And venomous.

Our decision is simple, do we want to be WE THE PEOPLE, following a creed of universal equality and liberty, or do we want to settle for wee the people, a divided, systematically disempowered collection of tribes who can be easily manipulated and controlled by corporate media trolls and demagogues?

💥 BREAKING: ICE tries to raid Home Depot located at 6400 Alondra Blvd. Paramount, CA Protesters are able to successfully stop them. 6/7/2025 @12 pm #ice #raids #losangeles

Random dollar we received upon reentering the US.

Spent some time in Buenos Aires. The city is vast and sprawling and only got a chance to sample a small portion. Went to a protest in front of Congress on Wednesday. This we were told is a regular occurrence. They are under attack like here but face it with persistence and a certain joy.

Maybe the last Argentinian flagged vessel after Milei and company gutted protective policy for their merchant marine, threatening their maritime jobs, industry, and potentially their national sovereignty! The triumph of "Free Trade" comes at the expense of labor and the average citizen. Always!

More ROCAMBOLE, or Ricardo Cohen. Not sure of the biography yet as it needs to be translated and mi espanol es malo.

We missed it again folks, going to have to start calling this thing music martes. We are in Buenos Aires for a visit and recorded this short video in the contemporary art museum in La Plata. The place was being renovated but they had a ROCAMBOLE exhibit. Powerful stuff.

Oh fuck, it's music Monday and we forgot again. Well, never fear, here's a track from the Smiths, How Soon is Now. We are human and we need to be loved, just like everybody else does. youtu.be/hnpILIIo9ek?...

On Memorial Day let's remember not just the fallen men and women of the armed forces but the countless civilian dead; men, women and children who are killed in armed conflict. It has become more and more permissible to designate and then eliminate civilians as combatants and collateral damage.

Billboard Hwy30; Person sitting on the edge of bed holding their head in hands. "Anxious? Jesus can help." Jesus was known for performing miracles and saving souls. Can he forgive our medical debt, get our transmission fixed so we can make it to work, or keep ICE from deporting us? Sadly no.

It's #BitcoinPizzaDay , commemorating this one time a guy used Bitcoin to order two pizzas (using a surrogate with fiat currency), and then regretted it. We can only speculate what those pizzas cost him at today's valuation. But this is exactly why this is not a currency. No one will use it FOMO!

And for good measure, the original by Devo! youtu.be/xJFndSJVSYA?...

We've been telling you how bad we are at this social media thing, well, here's proof. A better late than never Music Monday post. So poignant to this day, Turnaround (covered by Nirvana)! Take a look at what you are, it's pretty scary. youtu.be/Ikx21ATqMd0?...

Our elderly Mother recently fell in her assisted living facility and the staff was unable to get her up so they called emergency services. The Portland fire department turned up and got her off the floor no problem. Heroes, right!? A couple weeks go by and Portland Fire sends a bill, $850! Heroes?

Just finished up the cateo, guess it's time to start working on those guillotines. We realized during this project that we aren't a very good carpenter, and some of our measurements were off. May not get the cleanest cuts from the guillotines, but we're willing to take the risk.

Good morning !

Come on, people. The bosses can’t fire us all. The slumlords can’t kick us all out onto the street. Let’s organize. We can’t wait much longer and still hope this ends well. generalstrikeus.com

Check out our latest substack, it's the free one, well, they're all free, but this one is maybe at least dangerous. Read at your own risk.

A better late than never Music Monday post. One of our favorites, Into the Wayside part 1/ sick, by Ceremony. youtu.be/bmfR9r1oSrw?...
