if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

👌 So good I’m willing to look past the Scientology

Watched this “news/promo” on the big screen in my local pizza shop where I know we’re on Sinclair and it wasn’t gonna air.

My favorite part of the Tylenol news cycle is that the anti-vaxxers have a whole ass pie on their face after decades of Autism bullshit. This was their big moment, the dream team was assembled, and it collapsed under the weight of its own stupidity. I love this for them.

I have a new song up on youtube. Written in Hawaii and part of my new collection in the works, it's short and sweet and I've ben wanting to share it for a while now. 🤙 youtube.com/shorts/ly64B...

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

On a lighter note, the new Nine Inch Nails album drops tomorrow!

Some people are punk when they’re young and grow conservative with age. Apparently I am becoming (slightly) more punk from my innocent hippie roots.

An hour from my hometown.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Yesterday, when it all became too much, I disconnected from the world and reconnected with my guitar. This little song came out of me, and I tried it out with my jazz band last night. I think I’ll call it “Blues for Humanity”. #jazzsky #jazzguitar #blues

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ONE YOU SERVE YOU’RE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU DESERVE

So good.

Baritown Any major dude could tell you that Dr. Weiss is more show biz kid than journalist, so what’s the pretzel logic behind a network hiring her to do their dirty work? One thing’s for sure: CBS won’t be where I get the news. by Maureen Dowd

Are they called anti-depressants or pro-depressants?

Making demos for my new record. When the band is busy doing life you do what you gotta do…

This reminds me of a form I need to fill out.

I mean c’mon. GOAT, evergreen, no contest.

Gives a whole new meaning to the old Reagan bit, “we’re from the govt and we’re here to help”

I say he has to run a mile first to qualify

A Richter 8.6 Earthquake Is Menacing Hawaii With The Threat Of A Devastating Tsunami, But Zohran Mamdani Has No Solutions. Tomorrow in the New York Times

There is something very satisfying about translating the scribbles in my notebook into a Google doc with tabs for my new batch of songs. I know, it’s only data entry but I like it, I like it, yes I do.

In other news, I’m opening for G.Love this week! Looking forward to seeing what kind of solo energy I can level up

Back from vacation means back to work. Which means learning the Crazy Train solo. #ozzy #RandyRhodes #guitar

IT'S LIVE

Fascism is here. You can say you don’t care, but you can’t say you don’t know.

Story time. (Summer 1993) I had been playing guitar for exactly one year. Time to head to the Cape for our annual family summer trip. I had graduated from acoustic to my first electric guitar, and had one of those tiny battery powered Marshall amps.

Fascism For First Time Founders Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who…

I was going to make Coca Cola go back to cocaine and now i’m just going to look like a copycat

It begins. Even just a few weeks ago, I didn’t know what my new music would sound like. I just knew I was ready for the next thing. Then, just like that, the flood gates opened. Great timing to get together with my rhythm ace and see what some of these things sound like outside of my head.

I love this record.

I once made a rule for myself to only sing the Dan at karaoke. Started with Haitian Divorce because “life stuff”

The Liver King's arrest after threatening Joe Rogan isn't just a "news of the weird" story. It's a stellar example of how MAGA masculinity defeats itself. All these supposedly "tough" guys are invariably weak. www.salon.com/2025/06/27/j...

This is the scary part

There ain’t gonna be any middle anymore
