I love my bandmates. I love playing music for people. I love locking in with the rest of the band. I love executing something I've put the work in of rehearsing...

...but I do *not* love packing up and carrying around a bunch of drums to a show.

Happy Men's Day during Transgender Awareness Week, so a very special shout-out to all my trans brothers out there.
You guys rock and I love each and every one of you!

It's much darker with my human-meat eyeballs, but the phone camera's techno-sorcery makes it really pop out

Any #synthsky folks out there ever jump on Reaper's Ninjam?
You'll catch me from time to time in there and, if you do, say hi.

Stick around and jam

Ohhhhhh... that post-election "victory for Democrats really actually defeat" ticker finally makes sense!

I feel bad for vaporwave artists... it must be really hard competing with all of this AI slop when you have to make your slop by hand.

I don't know why I like sitting directly on stage when playing my sets, but I do.
I usually take my shoes off and have a cushion, but something about it connects me.

Alright... ready for the noise jam tonight.
I'm playing "Oops! All Square Waves" and, if you're wondering what that is, it sounds like some static and an old NES explosion sound had a tender loving threesome with a fax machine.

Beautiful weekend for Sacred and Profane. We went a little early in the day, but still got to see the island.

Followup question: What *would* be a line for you? What is something that federalized troops doing would be too far over the line for you?
What's something that would cause you to use your (fairly substantial) authority as speaker to stop?
Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Remember folks, if you aren't one of the people raptured tomorrow, it means you were just a fake Christian that used religion as justification to be shitty to people you didn't like.

Political violence is bad, yes, but the expectation that you debate every bad-faith, factually incorrect, and illogical piece of propaganda while it is *currently* being used as the basis for policy that causes real harm to real people is absurd.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

It is unacceptable that we live in a society that permits this. The people doing this need to be personally held responsible.
Right now.

there are people who have never earned more than the base decency we are granted at birth; when they go, we mourn the fact that once, somewhere, there was a child that might've understood kindness, but no more.

Trump: "You're gonna see a big change in Washington crime stats very soon. Not the stats that they gave bc they turned out to be a total fraud. The real stats. The stats went through the roof. They had a man forced to put out stats like they were doing better. Crime is the worst it's ever been"
