@janlankisch on Instagram has fantastic video from our show in Cologne last night on his story. But I am Insta-illiterate and have no idea how to link to it! Can someone help a brother out with a Bluesky friendly link?

Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

I was at the protest today: SPPD was on site when I got there, but their numbers continued to swell. The crowd was loud af but not at all violent- nor were they impeding agents "doing their jobs" or residents. SPPD was in good spirits- many were smiling and laughing. The protesters were told to +

🐙 Tintenfische
Leipzig, Dr. Werner Klinkhardt, 1913.

[Source]
Historical illustration titled "Tintenfische" (1913) showing two cephalopods. On the left, Fig. 1 depicts Sepia officinalis, a cuttlefish with a broad, oval body, textured brown skin with wavy patterns, and several long tentacles extending upward. On the right, Fig. 2 shows Loligo vulgaris, a common squid, with a more elongated, tapered reddish body, large prominent eyes, and multiple slender, spotted arms arranged around the head. Both illustrations emphasize anatomical details and textures, providing a scientific view of these octopus-related marine animals.

Morton Feldman, at his home in Buffalo in 1985, two years before he died. Morton is sitting at his piano, turned facing the viewer. he appears to be working on a composition as he has pen in hand with pages of musical notation on top of the piano. Morton appears, as he often did, rather surly. photo credit: Joe Traver for The New York Times.
