The law found him guilty 34 times.
Then, instead of enforcing the law with genuine sentencing, they let him walk, dismissed the other charges, let him run for President despite the felony convictions.
He steals the election and we all get to tumble down the rabbit hole of fascism.

WTAF America?

A sewer, not a democracy.

There was a time when the USA at least pretended to be a force for good in the world: now it just leads the decline of civilisation, hand in hand with Russia.

After the cast alloy tailpiece failed on my Eastman mandolin, the company very promptly sent me a replacement part. Now the replacement has also broken (a notoriously common failure) I've resorted to a cheap imported one.

Great mandolins, great customer service, ridiculously shit tailpieces.

This song contains one of the most delightfully inappropriate guitar solos ever. (I don't mean the intro: there's an actual solo later.)

I really only started to remember and recognise Kanji once I concentrated on learning them as I learned new words and sentences.

Drilling individual, out-of-context Kanji with flashcards wasted a lot of my time when done as the primary learning method.

Cards work better for me as self-testing

Depression/futility warning:

Probably best not to watch this unless you are very confident in your abilities as a musician.

So a literal translation* of 動物園 which spells "zoo" in Japanese could be "move-thing park". 動物 is "animal" or "move-thing"!

It's so different to English. So many things seem funny or silly when really they're just unfamiliar. I love it.

( * = A literal translation, not THE literal translation. )

Another album without a single weak track. That's four out of four so far.

Can anyone really say "manosphere" without laughing?

I've literally been trying for 10 minutes and I can barely breathe. One more attempt and I'd pee in my pants.

If I believed in the Christian fairy tale - specifically the cinematic epic that is the Book of Revelation - I'd be betting on that prick Elon Musk eventally being outed as the antichrist.

I don't believe but, annoyingly, that doesn't seem to lessen his potential for negative influence in the world

When the rich routinely buy their way into government, and own the media that define many people's "truth", there can be no democracy and no freedom.

UK TV ads by gambling companies. 😡

A bunch of parasitic, disingenuous, concern-troll scum.

Virtue signalling, despite the fact that the social responsibility aspects of their advertising are clearly only there because they've been compelled to include them, or to preempt action by regulators.
