Music is basically a detective novel where the musicians are the suspects/criminals, the listener is the detective and of course the music is the crime. The listener tries to determine what happened and what was the motivation, while the musicians try to obscure this, so they can get away with it.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

I have never met an artist who's said "sigh, I wish a computer could do this for me." Not artists? sure, all the time.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

If you think we can’t afford school lunches and cancer research, but we CAN afford concentration camps and tax breaks for billionaires, congratulations you’re an idiot with reprehensible values

Heath bar, listen. I love you. I really do. I see what you’re going for and I am here for it. But let’s get one thing straight: you’re no Butterfinger

The most depressing part is that it is going to get so much worse than this. This is the first three months. We got YEARS of this on the way. Constantly ratcheting up the crazy. Enjoy today. As bad as it is, it won’t be this good again for a long time.

“Good thing we have all these leftover N95 masks from Covid, they’re great at blocking out the wildfire particulates” is, incredibly, a thought I just thought in 2025

I am so tired of this relentlessly dire world. I just want to move into one of those retirement villages in Florida, I don’t care how hot it is. Someone just tell me when dinner is and what time matlock comes on

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

It really feels like a few hundred thousand low information voters locked America in a room with an abusive stepdad and a box full of hammers for the next 4 yrs

Of the many painful repercussions in unavoidable holiday music, the one that stings the most this year is being forced to wonder what the world would be like if the guy who sang ‘war is over if you want it’ survived his bullet and the guy who said ‘grab em by the pussy’ didn’t

Hot take: if Jesus Christ were ever in a wrasslin match his walk out music would def be the chorus from ‘O Holy Night’. That thing is electric.

Now that the holiday music deluge has begun I must restate my strongly held belief that ‘We Need A Little Christmas’ is more aggressively oppressive and problematic than ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside.’ It sounds like it’s being sung by someone holding a knife to my throat. ‘Right this very minute?’ Jeez.

A few months ago I released my cover of ‘Doll Parts’! 🍷 This was also my first collab with Michael Flynn of @slowrunnermusic.bsky.social. This has been my biggest year of collabs yet and I love it

I’m gonna need more than 6 followers if I’m going to keep tirelessly churning out the high quality content that this platform demands. Food observations. Pithy, incisive political commentary. Depressing music. These things don’t grow on trees (well I guess technically the food does)

Can we please put up a glass ceiling for sexual predators? So that young aspiring sexual predators have to dream of a world where their value is unquestioned and their ambition is limitless and the doctors that care for them are safe and plentiful? Fucking hell.
