Satan. Now more than ever.

A very quiet world with a low-level hum

That charmed, out-of-style feeling

Remembering my pilgrimage to The Village Recorder in Santa Monica, where Fleetwood Mac made “Tusk” - the crazy part is that the police station is right next door - phew, the sheer amount of Colombian that went up noses in that place, not to mention the tones! The tones! The timbres! A holy place.

Antimicrobial militias VS probiotic militant groups.

Super excited to have a new poem in the latest issue of the mighty Zyzzyva!

If there’s one good thing about this shitass year surely THIS is it.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The tap water’s good but it doesn’t have flouride.

This is so true! Thank you Rob! @robmclennan.bsky.social !

Went to London to see My Bloody Valentine. They broke the sound barrier at least three times

I smell it.

Trust in the real glyphosate

Brutalist ergonomics

Q: do you like holding a grudge? Margaret Attwood : I don't have a choice I'm a Scorpio :) I'm sorry I don't recall who posted about Scorpio this morning, this just reminded me of that. Margaret Attwood, not to be fucked with.

“…the wise are devoured by fools with red eyes / Now let wild pigs claim the rest of you.” -V.R. Lang

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

I pulled the eyes out so he wouldn’t eat them

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

75 on November 1st. A nice day, but not good in any way.

Complete insanity. Right in front of her daughter. This thug has no ID or anything. What are we doing?

Could all the university professors in the USA get normal and cool about unions right now please

Back when we staged walkouts at our high school over Bush I’s Iraq war, this was our soundtrack, so I send this one out as a greeting to all you peace loving devil worshippers on this, the greatest day in the calendar: tidal.com/browse/track...

If you have the criterion channel you need to put down whatever you’re doing g and watch “A Chinese Ghost Story” this movie…wow. I have now decided that my aesthetic will only be based on this film, in which a daoist monk fights off hungry ghosts (which take the form of a tree or a gigantic tongue!”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Satan is a friend of mine.

I cancelled this trash long ago because I care about musicians, but this ICE ads shit is yet another reason to remind you that S*otify is a tool of the goddam man.

Israel killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children, in overnight strikes on the Palestinian territory. The attacks came after Israel claimed its soldiers came under attack by Hamas militants, though the group denied responsibility.

Wish I could talk about baseball but a greedy bastard destroyed my team. Fuck all the owners - you broke my heart and I can’t even enjoy other people’s happiness.

Dude can you imagine the cheering that will happen across this nation when that malevolent little fuckwad Miller is arrested? Honestly the thought keeps me going.

This really makes me insane.

This is how you blurb

Can’t do my work because AWS is down. Always Winning Syndrome

It’s cool that I can’t tell if this is about AWS or the US government.
