The people running the US government are at best worthless cowards at worse they are collaborators. Regardless, none seem concerned enough with the health and well being of the American people to step up and stop this madness before it leads us into another forever war or worse another world war.

Reposting a review I wrote for the Start track blog on the LFDH blog. It take a look at The First Year by Brooklyn band Here For You. I really enjoyed this album. I think you should give it a listen if you haven’t already.

It's ok guys, simply post that this wasn't on your bingo card and this will all work out

The US is really good at removing governments from power. We are really horrible at the transitional phase that comes after. And that is the most dangerous part for civilians.

Plenty of circuses, no fucking bread

If I was the rest of the world I would be extremely leery of the United States right now. It’s operating as if is not accountable to anyone and has been threatening to invade and annex its allies. NATO might could turn a blind eye to what just happened in “normal” times but they’re on the menu too.

Take that fucking L loser.

Next up are these lyrics by @emdashreed.bsky.social . I think an argument could be made that these aren’t even lyrics per-say,but as I said in my review of the album this song takes atmospheric storytelling to the extreme.

I don’t do album of the year picks, but I will share w/ you the lyrics I have probably spent the most time thinking about how awesome they are. The vocal delivery is great the visuals it paints are just objectively cool & the metaphor it provides fantastically supports the meaning of the song.

Last book I read was a reread of My Side of the Mountain so I guess my new job guy living the land in the woods. Honestly can’t complain.

My wife buying me the special edition of @superdestroyer.diysky.xyz and @leavenelsonb.bsky.social ‘s Nelson Comes To Visit albums has become somewhat of a Christmas tradition at this point. No pressure for next year, though. Seriously slick looking retro media concept for this one.

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

My third oldest (over 18) just told me that YouTube asked him to verify his age by either submitting a scan of his id or letting them take a pic of his face so he looked put a picture of an old man on the internet and showed it to the camera and that totally worked. Lol the kids are alright.

A security guarantee with an expiration date is real just a chance for Russia to regroup.

The government didn’t want to talk to us about the crimes against humanity that we discovered they were doing so we shelved the story is a hell a moronic take @60minutes.bsky.social way to demonstrate that you ain’t got what it take anymore. Might as well be state controlled media at this point.

This video goes so fucking hard, I had to gather my family around the tv and make them watch it.

First was promised the doge dividends (still unpaid) Then was promised the tariff dividends (still unpaid) Now we got the warrior dividends Hopefully no one in the military holds their breath waiting for these checks. Everyone passing out and dying is going to negatively affect military readiness

I wholeheartedly believe down to the pit of my soul that Alan Turing invented and he Turing test to stop the dumbest people imaginable from repeatedly asking him if a computer has achieved “intelligence”. The test doesn’t really prove anything other than…..

I mean in all fairness ever since they tore down the east wing I imagine practically anyone so inclined could just saunter past the rumble and directly into the WH through the gapping hole.

What’s the over under on Trump announcing his version of the Hunger Games?

Jim Cramer thinking this is a sure bet that more people need to invest in is frankly the largest red flag I’ve seen demonstrating that AI is fixing to shit the bed.

An absolute fucking moron who can’t imagine doing something that has been successfully done countless times over the last 150,000+ years with out AI thinks you too should use ChatGPT to raise your baby. Someone needs to make sure this man’s kids are ok, assuming he currently has custody of them.

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

If you ever wonder why I don’t talk about Jesse Welles or promote his stuff despite him being a folk singer that focuses on politics which is definitely something I fuck with. Well this article written by Grayson Haver Currin pretty much sums up my feelings on Welles.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

She needed a hand towel. Apparently what she actually said was “can I get a hand towel up here” Alexa be wildin out I swear. lol

My wife sent this message over our smart speaker system. I’m pretty sure this is a trap but I’m willing to risk it.

My love for the music of the Smashing Pumpkins is at constant war with my disdain for Billy Corgan. It truly is the Yin and Yang of my life.

A woman who exponentially benefits from the labor of others doesn’t believe you can have anything in life other than a slave like devotion to work. Can’t say Im surprised. I’m willing to bet this woman takes multiple weeks off every year for vacationing around the world. Probably on a mega yacht.

New blog post hit the blog this evening. It’s a collection of reviews of single tracks I’ve written the Start-Track blog feel free to check them out if you don’t religiously follow me over there.

The greatest anime betrayal of all time is Toph Beifong becoming a cop.

My two year old just brought me a sock monkey wearing a sock. The question then became is the sock monkey wearing the skin of another socket as foot wear or when does a sock become a monkey??

The totally chad Department of War has opened and investigation into Senator Mark Kelly for the very seriously allegation of……. Check notes….. telling services members to not break the law. Very normal not at all fascist this to do.

Y’all I’m starting to think Elon might be a moron. You have to be the saddest most pathetic unimaginative person ever to require an earth scorching plagiarism machine to roast someone.

My review for Troubadour by Tiberius just hit the Start Track blog. It an album the blend aspects of country with emo and indie rock. It’s quite good and y’all should definitely check it out.

Get yourself a lover that looks at you the way a dementia addled racist looks at Mamdani

They shut the government down for 43 day. Attempted to starve Americans for a week+. And have so far given the finger to citizens who need the ACA tax credits to afford healthcare and 1 of the 1st things they do is pointlessly condemning socialism. Fam idefk know what socialism but maybe we need it?

So serious question folks. I know a lot of ska people follow me. So like my kid started playing tenor sax this year and I would like to look into getting them a saxophone so they don’t have to use the one the school provided which is in rather poor shape.

I just had to get a pair of channel locks out of my garage to open up a bottle of Maple Syrup. Canadians must have the grip strength of god.

I personally would find it hilarious if Trump vetos the Epstein bill. Doing so would be utterly pointless (veto proof majority) but it would be the biggest dumbest flex ever. We all know he in the files but doing that would remove all doubt.

Remembering Joe Hill on the 110th anniversary of his murder by the state of Utah. Paul Robeson singing "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" to Scottish coal miners in 1949.

So if you’re wondering why I have posted on my blog the last week or so it’s because my wife and I had a kid the other day. So like I’ve be busy and shit. Sure hope to have things back to relative normal soon.

Yesterday was international men’s day as well. And shockingly tomorrow is also international men’s day. As is the day after and after and after…… 😐

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Maybe this was the reporter ever consider that?? Trump has been filling the press pool with puppets after all.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I really really hate to have to go to bat for Trump like this but in all seriousness giving Bill Clinton a blow job is probably the least terrible thing that man has ever done. Full stop.

My review of The First Year by Here For You just hit (yesterday I’m a little late) the start-track blog. I enjoyed the album quite a lot and I think y’all should check it out.

Mainstream country is gonna have to have a reckoning about itself, cause when the stuff you put out is so benign & meaningless that an AI artist unironically singing about how rugged and authentic it is makes the top of the charts. What that really illustrates is the art you make is soulless & empty
