This is comically bad. Just unbelievable bullshit.

False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful. The countries may change — Venezuela, China, Italy, Cuba, Iran — but the purpose of the lies remains the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Jeffrey Sachs on Netanyahu and Trump: “Psycopaths” youtu.be/V13sGGF3bU8?...

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing. they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran. for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

I keep seeing calls to stop Trump by drawing attention to the illegality of his actions against Iran… “Legal” is not, and has not, been a restraint. This truly is pissing in the wind. Congress cannot control this monster. The Supreme Court cannot control this monster. Try door #3.

Repugnant warmongers, Trump and Netanyahu chief among them, are destroying the spirit of the earth. Or, what’s left of it.

Trump and Netanyahu are deranged, warmongering fuckfaces who are destroying life on earth.

And here is our opening Coffin Prick set opening for Steven Brown before accompanying him for his set: youtu.be/M2AFLwLgTUA?...

Myself and band (Coffin Prick) recently had the great pleasure of backing Tuxedomoon’s Steven Brown on series of live dates. We played music from his solo LP’s, as well as a number of Tuxedomoon tracks. A real thrill. Here is the full Los Angeles show on video: youtu.be/FmAX6sIMIRs?...

That Democrats continue to sit in the house after Trump calls them crazy, says they’re ruining the country (while the GOP house members stand in ovation, no less), and he spits in their faces while degrading all civility is so unbelievably cowardly and shameful.

And it's not a secret! "Last week, G Elliott Morris, the data journalist who publishes Strength in Numbers, found that among people who don’t pay attention to politics (they don’t know which party controls the Congress), the president’s approval on the handling of prices is negative 40 percent"

It is absolutely insane to me that friends of mine believe that the Trump administration is not actively attempting to rig and sabotage the midterm elections because that would be a “Too crazy”. He and his cronies tell you everything they are intending to do…And they have told you this.

I’ll be doing two things in Los Angeles this coming Friday and Sunday:

A new Republican House bill proposes sweeping changes to US toxic chemical laws that would gut protections for consumers, workers and the environment, public health advocates mobilizing against the legislation warn.

To attempt to distract people from your rape and pedophilia with your extreme racism is definitely some major 5D chess.

Incredible. These morons didn’t bother to secure the domain name…and this is what they get: www.trumpkennedycenter.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

I somehow missed this meeting of the broken minds, but this @theguardian.com piece about an insane conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson nearly broke MY brain. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thank you, Gavin! Check out their top ten list for 2025.

The smear campaign against Mustapha Kharbouch -- falsely accused of the Brown shooting and MIT murder by powerful politicians, pundits and plutocrats -- is a prime example of how pervasive racism has become. It's also a story largely ignored by the mainstream media www.thenation.com/article/poli...

#BestOf2025: Ryan Weinstein (Coffin Prick) tells us why the new Repetition Repetition compilation was his favorite record of the year

I’m not one for year end lists, but was flattered when asked by Annie Fell at @talkhouse.bsky.social to come up with some words on a release I enjoyed in 2025. I chose a reissue/compilation of music by the fairly obscure Los Angeles group, Repetition Repetition. www.talkhouse.com/best-of-2025...

Rob Reiner and his wife’s death is very, very sad. People who contribute to the arts and humanities offer the world work that transcend time generationally. I just saw This Is Spinal Tap for the umpteenth time on the big screen for a reprieve from the daily madness. A full theatre laughing.

In our time, it's easy to shut your mind, driven by fear or misinformation. This year, NPR Music's pop critic found the antidote in music that encouraged exploring n.pr/494BlEe

This is truly incredible and appalling. Bennie Thompson asks the exact correct question…To which they cannot answer, obviously.

Bari Weiss/CBS News is holding a “Town Hall” with Erika Kirk. This is just all too goddamned stupid. This isn’t the “moment” (there are too many to pinpoint just one)… But we are so far over the edge it’s almost impossible to ever see anything returning to what passed as “normal” ever again.

NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Tennessee… youtu.be/mQwRnGRoMgA?...

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Trump’s America is a deregulated nightmare pigpen overseen by a criminal terrorist regime.

Wrote a whole chapter on Van Dyke in my Proud Boys book — described him as the physical manifestation of a human hand grenade. Should be an interesting campaign. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

If you’re Donald Trump or one of his supporters, you get to crime with impunity knowing that anyone who attempts to hold you accountable for your criming will be punished.

I despise these people in a way I hadn’t really considered.

I find @davidpakman.bsky.social ‘s insight here to be of value.

Why are our collective safeties and lives, and the lives of our families and loved ones being handed over to a cadre of sociopathic morons? youtu.be/r_9wkavYt4Y?...

George F. Will on this administration: “A moral slum” The best description I’ve read yet.

Frequently I’ll comment on something in someone’s thread here only to find myself feeling like it was a complete waste of mental energy to have done so hours later.

I’ve written it before, and I’ll write it again… The most dangerous immediate threat we face as a species is AI. One day Trump will be gone, Putin will be gone, etc.. These tech maniacs will kill us all in their quests for a perceived omnipotence. And I do not think that this is hyperbolic.

This is a parade of the horribles.

Also, this Coffin Prick album I wrote about last month is (finally!) out today:

Now Playing on Eardrum Buzz Radio: Theme From Other Peoples Lives by Coffin Prick

I think this must have been from my show with Melt Banana in San Jose a few weeks ago. Thanks for posting, @aldorado.bsky.social

There is an unceasing knot in my stomach concerning how unbelievably fucking terrible so much of the modern world has become, particularly post-Covid. I frequently feel that I’m living in some waking nightmare alternate reality that dug itself in overnight while we were sleeping.
