The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

It always cracks me up when somebody says 'Don't get caught in an echo chamber. Be sure to listen to opposing viewpoints.', like I've never gone outside on a day that ends with 'Y'.

And March 27th at Empty Bottle in Chicago! ✨
Great news: Michael Rother plays Neu! + Harmonia & solo works March 25 at Neptune Theatre in Seattle.

Rip Torn is masterful in Daryl Duke's 1973 country music masterpiece, Payday. Well worth seeking out. Reeks of authenticity.

Hell yeah. Been to a few of these.
BREAKING: The NLRB has just ruled that captive audience meetings are illegal nationwide.

These are mandatory meetings where bosses try to persuade workers not unionize, often using coercive tactics.

This feels like 2008 Twitter. I'm into it (so far). Needed the shower.

If I wanna trounce in shitwater, I'll go back 'there'.
POSTING IS NOT POLITICS. It’s not helping. It’s not influencing anyone. Boots on the ground direct action is the only thing that makes a difference. Civic engagement. It doesn’t matter if you call yourself the resistance or the rebellion or a shit sandwich. This is baby brain shit.
