I like the blue jays. I make music at @primebirds.bsky.social. I rant about stuff sometimes. I am the king of typ0s.
Effective opposition to Trump, at this point, is going to have to get into some grey areas and do some stuff I'd generally not prefer, but so far the only actions that have slowed trump down are radical ones. It might backfire, but at this point, what do we have to lose by not trying?
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Randomly thinking about the first quote that pops into my head for certain jays.
Vlad: I'm a good first baseman!
Jose: who are you and why are you talking to me?
Donaldson it's not the try league...
Muni: BUSH PARTY
Then there's Bo Bichette: "I typically do not speak to my Uber driver"

winnipeg-ass day out there
I really don't want to specifically divert people to my fundraiser over any others so I think this'll be my last post about it on this acct, but today, Bandcamp Friday (where there are no fees to the site hosting my new single), is a great day to pay what you can for some hardcore punk protest music
Thank you to everyone who has purchased my latest single, or my discog, for BandCamp Friday. As soon as I collect another $15USD I will make my second of hopefully many installments to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, funded 100% by your Prime Birds purchases.
🚨NEW MUSIC FROM PRIME BIRDS (and @abovethesnowline.bsky.social) 🚨
"Only Assholes Sign Up For ICE" is now available on bandcamp. It's free to download, but should you choose to make a purchase, 100% of proceeds will go Minnesota Immigrant Law Center

The best AI can ever do musically is create something that sounds good on the first pass. That is its ceiling, in my opinion. Could be useful for elevators and waiting rooms maybe. But it will never make something worth coming back to or talking about for more than a minute.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Another wonderful thing about Buck Martinez is he hated the 2024 team as much as the rest of us did. Hearing him get pissed off every week that none of the pitchers had any velocity and nobody could hit was incredibly cathartic.

Buck was the best to ever do it not just because he was a great broadcaster but because he was an old guy who didn’t get left behind by the game. He always praised the Jays for having fun and playing with joy and he wasn’t above changing his mind. He was the model, not Smoltz.
Buck saying he initially opposed extended netting but came around on it because it’s saved so many people who are “eating popcorn or having a cold beer” is why I love him. Old school guy whose mind can be changed, only guy on earth not citing ~kids on their phones~ there

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I played guitars on this absolute banger of a protest track from @abovethesnowline.bsky.social plus its all-canadian content so the CRTC wont come after ya. Which we're all concerned about these days of course.

Tech bros and oligarchs and fascists push these horrors because it benefits them *whether the tech is actually effective or not*. It literally doesn't matter if it actually works as long as we all think it does. It's through this lens that we should think about AI, ad targerting, face rec, etc.
ICE has used Mobile Fortify to identify immigrants and citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after DHS abandoned its own privacy rules. www.wired.com/story/cbp-ic...

I have a forgetful child but the last thing you can do is remind him
me: "hey 11yo, don't leave your coat there"
11yo: "I wasn't GONNA, I'm just taking my socks off first"
Any parent reading this already knows that had I said nothing, there's a 100% chance he woulda left his coat there.

The spectrum of MSM has become "full-on fascist propaganda" on the right to "boy I wish we could go back to pretending we were good people" on the left. Anybody actually advocating for good things to happen can go start their own newsletter.
This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

I think the band I was in was playing a show that night, which is incredible because in 10yrs I think we played like 5 shows (probably why I remember the date). It was great. Tons family and friends music and having a great time, definitely a better night than getting turned down for the pedo party

Trump used to have this phenomenon where if you read his statements they'd be completely nonsensical, but then if you heard the clip, it was easier to parse what he was going for. That has now changed. No idea what the fuck he's on about.
Trump: "I didn't get 250. I tried to claim it a couple of times. I said, 'I produced 250 year anniversary. It was my deal. I got 250 years.' And the press hit me hard on that one. So I gave it up immediately ... then they rigged the election."

Okay Bezos makes $70m a day, and according to Bernie Sanders, Elon has earned $500 BILLION during Trump 2.0?
I'm not saying I don't believe these numbers, but, I think we need to rethink how we calculate wealth or something because I, simply, do not believe these men have that much Actual Money

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
