(1/n) It appears Alphabet (in the form of Google's AI and YouTube) has been systematically deprecating my videos (along with other content).

"Every Rebel Statue" (released during the BLM protests) didn't accrue any advertising till recently. Sadly, still relevant:

@therealjamestalari.bsky.social Hi, thanks for following me! I volunteered for Beto's senate campaign, and I'd like to help with yours. I'm retired, on a low fixed income, in rural Caldwell County. (1/2)

I'm coming up with chants for Saturday's protests. Please repost and add your own. (1/2)

No kings! No liars!

No climate-change deniers!

No kings! No killers!

Fire Bondi, Noem, and Miller!

No Kings! No crooks!

Give students back their books!

Why was the paper withdrawn after condemnation in the House of Lords?

It failed peer review.

The POTUS was at Mar-A-Lago
With a dog-killing soulless virago
They thought our great nation
Deserves occupation
So they sent Texas troops to Chicago

I believe the immediate future will be a watershed moment for the arts. All of them.

It's impossible to predict the direction, but *there will be a direction,* unlike the random drift of the past quarter-century of Postmodernism.

How much fun is it having a home studio and recording myself every day? It's as much fun as having a colostomy every day. Hopefully the results stink much less.

Award winning video by a friend of a friend. The true story is that of my friend Letha (also a singer-songwriter) and the artist/filmmaker based this on her life.

I wonder if there's an online betting market where one can wager on the number of U.S. mass shootings over the next 24 hours.

My latest piece imagines Kristi Noem's advice column answering questions from ICE agents:

Trigger warning: This might be the sickest satirical column I've ever written. Sick times call for sick humor.

At this point it's within the realm of possibility that ICE itself shot detainees in a false-flag operation, so they could spin it as "ICE is under attack" and seize even more power. I wonder if those shot were considered troublemakers in some way.

For those of us of a certain age, Trump at the U.N. evokes Khrushchev at the U.N. Enough said.

For artists and writers, the road we're on leads to a future where you won't be allowed to publish, perform, or post anything not approved by your local Trumpenkommissar. Even if your material is totally inoffensive, do you want to have to have the Party approve it? What if they demand a bribe?
