the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

I make only two conclusions watching the Trump team scramble and evade this so hard.
1. There's something so heinous to be discovered that he credibly believes Congress would impeach and remove him.

There's legal and illegal. There's no such designation as "barely legal."
The term "barely legal" comes from the porn industry. It means people who just turned 19, not someone who is "barely of age" because they'd have been shut down and arrested if they published nude pictures of 15 year olds.

My brain just played out the entire guitar solo from Don't Fear the Reaper. Wow. That's a powerful moment. I don't have a lot of favorite guitar solos, but I think this is one of them. So nicely constructed. The drummer is accenting the solo. Brilliant stuff.

I kept hearing that Republicans were keeping the government supposedly shut down (even though they all kept coming to work to do more damage to the country) to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
Well, the government is open. Let's see those damn files already.

I just put two things together in my head.
The "No one wants to work anymore" BS.
and
All the reports that worker productivity has gone up steadily for decades.
I thought:
How dare they say that crap when workers are working harder than ever with no real reward.

One of the best compliments I've received was when a former professor described me as a real Mensch to a mutual friend.
I try to live up to that a much as I can.

I mean. It's not so polished, but I'm fond of the result. The title should be indicative, right? The song is messy.
I programmed the bass bit because I didn't think I could play it, but then I could so I used both for sonic interest.

Andy Willey told me he thought this was an important song to me, like it was a song that related my frame of mind or who I am, or something. I don't know what he was getting at exactly, but I suppose

Christ and a half, do I really have to point out that the point of Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 is that these kids actually do need an education, the problem was they were being systematically abused instead?

Not a one of these conservative blowhards understands how this works, do they? They think, la la la la, I'm special. But if one person's rights are not upheld, then none of them are.
The minute you want one person to have their rights unprotected by the law, you have sacrificed your own freedom.

I really like being an arranger. I like finding the right keyboard sound. I like using household items as instruments. I like deciding that the bass and keyboard will trade off during the verse. I like formatting the drum parts.
I like putting together the puzzle pieces of a song. It's fun.
