Musician, teacher, Brewers fan, Michigan graduate and fan. I'll complain a lot about Brewers baseball, Michigan sports, the music business, and, maybe, right-wing-nut-jobs.
Tell ya what, MAGA. I'll start calling it the Gulf of America when you start calling our transgender citizens by their chosen names and pronouns. Deal?

Savage!
I don’t believe AI could ever successfully recreate something akin a real human musician, but I do think it could recreate Michael Bublé, who sounds like if you taught a text to speech algorithm to sing Dean Martin covers

This. So. Much. This! Dems need to start fight back. Hard. And NOW!
@kenmartin.bsky.social, however much is going on behind the scenes, the visible response from Dems as a whole - some exceptions - has been too quiet by several decibels. I would like to see consistent messaging on
1) The effect of tariffs. I got a 10% tariff on my heating oil now, at -9F.

Sometimes, the perks of this job are worth it. Listening to the Midori play a sublime Mendelssohn from my perch where I’ll be playing Ives sure doesn’t suck.

Yup. This confirms it. Dems have no fucking idea what to do. Zero willingness to fight corruption at all levels. Probably because so many of them are corrupt in some way also.
embarrassing. I am embarrassed. The fight is about everything they do hurting the American people. It’s about every facet of this fascist, shadow Musk administration.
saying no is the least you can do, what do you not get about that

![Screenshot of Punchbowl newsletter reading:
“Vote on Vought: Schumer prefers zeroing in on a handful of problematic nominees rather than blanket opposition to all of them. Schumer's strategy is to focus on Russell Vought, Trump's nominee for OMB director and a key architect of Project 2025. Democrats boycotted Vought's Budget Committee vote Thursday and held a press conference instead.
"We're not going to vote no on [all of them] - some people get up there and say, ‘vote no on everybody!' No," Schumer said. "This fight is over the executive orders—this is at the heart of what they want to do."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oowadmoqzsurleedpzoi2jgg/bafkreigy7rryuxsaszevjc72arrt4nmc23iqwhx4zafzgmim2qynznisxm@jpeg)

Wow. Do the Democrats not get it, or what?! Their base is pissed off at their lack of fight and this kinda shit ain't helping.
Apparently 31 Dems have decided to forgive their traitorous coup planning colleague Rep Doug Collins for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election.
They voted to advance him forward for VA Secretary.

FFS. Dems really have no f*cking idea what to do now, apparently. Time to go back to being an independent voter.
