In 1993 my friend tried to teach me to play bass because he wanted me to join his band. He started with "Lithium" which I could kinda get but not really. He said "you're no Krist Novoselic" and dropped the idea. Later he became a MAGA/Alex Jones conspiracy theorist, so I disappointed him once again.
I really need people outside of Seattle to know how much Krist Novoselic sucks
![A screenshot of a Facebook post by Krist Novoselić:
A new proposal would prohibit clearing encampments unless local government provides higher levels of accommodation for shelter. Our state's ruling party is attempting to codify what appears to be a lifestyle. There's no longer any expectation of personal accountability.
Quoted post from Cascade Party Washington:
WA legislature proposal out of touch with worsening chronic addiction homelessness - read now in The Summit (independent press of Cascade Party WA).

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

I was today years old, I am sorry to admit, when I learned dildos can expire. Just one more glorious thing you learn in the struggle against fascism and hey, can a dildo be said to have outlived its purpose when it can still be chucked at an ICE goon?
At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
