What gets me is that if Israel swapped out leadership, said "We're sorry," in English, and stopped building the wall of dead kids for a bit, what little negative press the mainstream Western media gives them now would blow away in 6 weeks, tops. Israel just doesn't want to stop killing kids.

So many haters in the comments. This is proper American bipartisanship, in which both parties co e together to stand strong against the vile scourge of the working class.

One quick guitar line fix and album art and the new EP is complete.

RISE UP, POETS. RISE UP AND BECOME WARRIORS.

The CDC has proven to be compromised by capitalists since the start of the pandemic. Now it's compromised by anti-science extremists, too.

I cannot stress the importance of nudging vocals onto the beat. It's tedious as hell, but it makes a massive difference in the end result of a song. Especially if your vocals are as sloppy as mine. Even with a metronome and me physically keeping the beat with my hand, a little extra nudge helps.

Reminder that Microsoft boasted that between 20-30% of its codebase is AI generated. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

WATCH: Jeffrey Epstein survivors release PSA calling on Congress to release the Epstein files

Nothing like finally, FINALLY getting some time to record some vocals, listening back the next day, and hoo boy are they bad, just the world's most unusable dogshit.

Huh, I didn't know Megyn Kelly was a libertarian.

I can't get over how good this album is. It's the perfect balance of modern feel, new wave dance, and no wave noise. skinner97.bandcamp.com/album/new-wa...

I've reached a point where nothing gets me ready to sleep quite like making new synth patches. Send help.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Last bit of lyrics are written for the new EP. Now I just need quiet time in the house to record them.

Health insurance is about to get even more expensive for artists. Even bands you’d assume are doing well financially will likely struggle to afford healthcare. If you can, buy yr favorite artists’ records. If you can’t, add their stuff to playlists, follow them on streaming services, spread the word

Skinner's New Wave Vaudeville is an absolute must buy for any fan of the titular genre. This is the best stuff I've heard in ages! skinner97.bandcamp.com/album/new-wa...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

The Republicans will kill you, and the Democrats will let you die. An explainer on enablers from last year -- and before: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

The 10 Senate Dems caving tonight shows again that liberals will not save us. Liberal ideology is based around the oersonal comfort of the individual and as soon as that comfort is threatened, they will jettison anyone to get it back. "Socialism or barbarism" isn't a threat. It's a prediction.

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

This and the air travel issues. Nothing, I mean NOTHING, will get between Democrats and their holiday vacations.

I just spent an hour beating my head against a wall because the bass in one song isn't fitting cleanly, so I completely scrapped my previous chain and re-EQed it, and if there is one thing I'd love to do professionally for the rest of my life, it's this. I love music production.

Wow! Just discovered a high-quality recording of Kraftwerk performing Autobahn live on the Midnight Special in 1975. Watch it here 🚘📺▶️ youtu.be/UYi30uTkYHU?...

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

As INCREDIBLY stressful as my personal life has become due to illness and job related shenanigans, at least I'll have Save Ferris blasting when I pick my kid up from school today. She's really into woman-led ska now.

The one claim communists can't argue with.

These are crimes against humanity. None of us is capable of truly internalizing suffering at this scale. Elon Musk and many other members of the Trump Administration should be put on trial at The Hague.

I'm pretty sure the East India Company has a good claim on that title.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

My kid got into the Wayside School books and found the short-lived cartoon. She really likes the ska theme song, so we introduced her to Save Ferris's cover of Come On Eileen. I think that may have dethroned Taylor Swift in her musical pantheon, at least temporarily.

Remember the 5th of November, the day my album dropped 🥰 you can buy vinyl at elasticstage.com/solinga/rele... and you can buy the digital album at solinga.bandcamp.com as well as patreon

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

His existence has made the world a worse place and will continue to do so for generations. Millions are dead because he lived. Tens of millions more displaced while he ruled from the White House. Keep a close eye on the people who mourn him. They value their own comfort over the lives of others.

I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste. sufficienttotheday.substack.com/p/the-federa...

Watching Terrified (2019) and it really hits home that we need more dick out ghosts in horror. Dick Out Haunting of Hill House Dick Out Babadook 13 Ghosts, All with Their Dicks Out Ghostship, But with a Giant Dick, and You Better Believe It Is OUT

And the wealthy have the absolute gall to call US lazy.

My rear neighbors are outside just BLASTING Goo Goo Dolls' Iris.

Hell yeah brother

This is why we need to fund the humanities.

This Cosmo article is a better profile of Trump supporters than any written by mainstream news sources. If you want something truly terrifying this Halloween, read this! www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

It's late nite server updates time, which means I'm up making sure SCCM doesn't screw up anything and playing game demos. Scaravan 66 is incredibly promising and already feels chaotic enough to justify it's psychobilly theme. store.steampowered.com/app/3238240/...

Microsoft's Azure Front Door has been alternating between slow and down for hours, and I'm hearing reports of AWS and GCP are having issues, too. Wild how these services providing the backbone of the internet are having so many outages after the companies who own them went all-in on AI programming.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

$83.90 for a 10 minute telehealth video call to get antibiotics for a sinus infection. America has the greatest healthcare system in the world for generating profit.

hi, musical artist here! please replace your streaming with plays on a different platform or buy the artists’ music on bandcamp instead of just canceling your spotify and then consuming less music! the latter only hurts artists. k thanks

TIL that Utah is building an internment camp "where the unhoused will be subject to forced labor." www.commondreams.org/news/utah-ho...

Garth Marenghi has a YouTube channel and I couldn't subscribe fast enough.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago. masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets. this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

The important thing is that the right people are making a LOT of money.
