Still recovering from surgery so I had @samrosenthal.bsky.social make me the viral brownie pudding and it was so worth it. Turned out very yummy! Will absolutely be making it again. He also made my favorite garlic soup last night and I’m still all warm a fuzzy from it. 😍

Nice one. I'm going with the archaic definition: "intoxicated; drunk."

Bsky use shrunk in 2025! bluefacts.app/bluesky-user... I wish decent people would leave twitter for bsky. It's so much nicer over here. How can we convince our friends to give that shitsite up???

"Sad that Jon Stewart & friends have become just more white liberals who enjoy punching down at marginalized people who are just doing our best to survive,” Karistina Lafae, a disabled author & essayist said. 😷 Wear a mask! Covid, Super flu! Why get sick? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Spending some time at obeygiant.com/prints/ checking out Shepard Fairey's work. He's best known for the "André the Giant Has a Posse (Obey Giant)" campaign and the Obama Hope image. There's lots more. Here are two really nice Joe Strummer posters. @obeygiant.bsky.social

“We have a minimum wage – why not a maximum wage?” Jello Biafra of The Dead Kennedys asked (in 2003). He suggested no taxes on the first $100,000 of income, and heavy taxes on the rest. “Wealth addiction is way worse than crack addiction." ART: Shepard Fairey @obeygiant.bsky.social

Just sayin...

Comment on a youTube video on how to retcon Dr Who to memory-hole the Jodi + Ncuti seasons: " They should have Capaldi wake up suddenly, shake his head, say 'what a nightmare' and then regenerate properly!!!!!! Then we can go back before doc who storyline was ruined! " For me, the problem was RTD!

Time Zone "World Destruction" (1984) Afrika Bambaataa – John Lydon – Bill Laswell youtu.be/P801hHPNj8M This is a world destruction. Your life ain't nothing. The human race is becoming a disgrace. The rich get richer. The poor are getting poorer. Fascist, chauvinistic government fools.

Reality check from one of my fave writers. From John Higgs's Octannual Manual #64: "...the second quarter of the twenty-first century is about to kick off." 🫠

I think the most illustrative example of why AI is so terrible are those fake animal videos. Sure, let's drain the fucking oceans to create videos of animals being funny, something you can easily experience by being near any given animal for 5 seconds

SomaFM's Drone Zone is playing my track "Isotope (mix 1- from six: thirteen)" somafm.com/dronezone/in... @somafm.com

Today, answered fans from Germany, Saudi Arabia, Manchester UK, Chile, NC, GA. I replied to one: "22? I was the same age as you when I created MESMERIZED BY THE SIRENS. It's nice that the music still connects today with similar emotions to what I felt when I created it."

"Rubio directs diplomats to return to using Times New Roman, undoing Biden-era switch to Calibri" www.cnn.com/2025/12/10/p... It’s like an Onion headline! Calibri is too woke for these assholes! I use Calibri for email & excel because it’s more readable. I'm a woke progressive w/aging eyeballs.

It's the same assholes! Trump, Pelosi, Schumer? They're the same generation of boomer as the hippies, then the yuppies, then the vulture capitalists, and now the OLDZ who won't let America get into the new century. Take your crepuscular grip off of power already! Time for fresh energy and ideas.

Black tape for a blue girl • "Pandora's Box (Live 1997)" youtu.be/G8WyFbJpUms The first live video I've posted with Oscar on vocals! It's a brilliantly dramatic performance from our NYC show at BATCAVE. #darkwave #darkwavemusic

I'm in trouble at home again for framing the fall of Lucifer as a labour dispute. Apparently it's fine in my head, but shouldn't be expressed in front of children.

I was once hopeful they'd develop a nasal vax to prevent catching/spreading Covid. There were promising starts but now I don’t believe anything else will be done re: Covid. Those of us still taking precautions have to find a way to move forward in the reality that THIS IS IT.

I opened my gmail to a friendly reply to a fan email I sent to a favorite writer / Psychedelic therapist, Neal M. Goldsmith. I was as excited as if I heard back from John Foxx or Ralf Hütter! Good day! #Psychedelic #Entheogens. a.co/d/hC61YY6

Trump's an energy vampire, feeding on a hundred million people stressing about every unhinged TRUTH he posts. Just can't keep doing it to myself.

Today, answered BlackTape fan emails from Berlin Germany, Wales, Upstate New York, the UK, Mexico City, Auckland NZ. It's interesting when a 22 year old is listening to MESMERIZED BY THE SIRENS which I recorded when I was 22, Many lifetimes ago in 1987!!! Some moods are eternal, I see.

How do you keep the noise of all the chaos and all those sirens out of your head? I do it with order and anal-compulsion which keeps the noise at bay so it doesn’t overwhelm me. She said that for her, the noise is much closer to the surface. It’s a roar, the Klaxons always wailing.

I like that i don't even know much about Projekt Records aside from Black Tape for a Blue Girl and Area but i can often tell by ear if a band was on Projekt because they have such a distinct sound
