rip to a real one.

life's the same except for my shoes

seems the only thing that can get me onto social media is music. just want to yell into digital nothing that "Moving In Stereo/All Mixed Up" still makes me pretty despite ... you know, all of this ~this~ ::waves hands at window::

anyway, "Breaker" and "On the Edge Of" still make me cry and the fucking feedback section in "Everybody's Song" is like manna from heaven, give me that shit all day long.

"And I soon had a song
I played it around
For some friends but they all said the same

They said music's for fools
You should go back to school
The future is prisons and math"

goddamn, man. here we are 20 years later, right?

the only thing that has gotten me to log in forever is this intense desire to tell everyone how fucking much I love Low and how listening to "The Great Destroyer" and "Drums and Guns" today has made me feel just the tiniest bit less alone in this fucking awful world.

holding up, The Void. thanks for asking. just needed that therapeutic scream, know what I mean?

big mood

been forever since I logged in. and I'm only logging in because I feel like screaming into the void. fucking Internet discourse is the goddamn worse no matter what you're talking about.

it took so much energy just to look at social media of any kind today. just gonna crawl back into my Linux hole and pretend I'm doing important shit I guess.

honestly, if you live outside the US and were thinking of visiting any time soon: don't. your rights are more at-risk here than is being reported.

hey check it out, the United States is now threatening judges using funds provided by the federal government. totally not authoritarian at all.

so now that we're floating the possibility of sending American citizens to foreign prisons without due process, are the arguments about whether this is ~technically~ fascism worth having? still trying to figure out who benefits from that debate.

you're assuming the average Dem is capable of a bare-minimum level of introspection and analysis. their allegiance to other interests makes that real hard (and what makes them so much like Republicans!)

YOU GOTTA ATTEND TO THE DETAILS
YOU GOTTA WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN
YOU GOTTA PUT UP A BIG SALE (?)
YOU GOTTA CLEAN YOUR DASHBOARD CUPHOLDER

Alan Sparhawk for-fucking-ever

this picture of Chuck "it's best to act like a possum and emit an ooze from your anus" Schumer makes me think of someone trying to decide whether it's a fart or a shart and what they should do about it. he's a middle of the road guy even in bowel movements.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

With Trampled by Turtles, by Alan Sparhawk 9 track album

it's 2025 and I'm happy about something at least: alansparhawk.bandcamp.com/album/with-t...

Watashi Dake?, by Keiji Haino 13 track album

#listentothesounds: keijihaino.bandcamp.com/album/watash... - tonight's album is "Watashi Dake?" by Keiji Haino. 44 years old and still fucking bizarre af.

being online feels more and more like a task than a thing I want to do... "guess I better log on and get even more angry for a bit"

trying to imagine President Hegseth and all I can see is an even more misogynist Don Draper type collapsed over the desk in the Oval Office, lit cigarette still in hand, lines of cocaine everywhere and like... a random prostitute on one of the couches with a handle of JD spilled across the floor

this shouldn't be so funny to me, but it's Saturday and I'm tired and I'd pay good money to see someone come to blows with Chuck in the parking lot of a Home Depot

@chuckschumer.com out here doing his best to make sure everyone understands just how pointless the Democrats are; remember to vote him and other cowards out for people who will actually oppose the Republicans. Chuck and his ilk are the definition of useless.

Democrats are the most useless fucking cowards. Where are all the dorks that wanted to defend them now?

ok sorry . my lawyer has advised me to say that drinking israeli diarrhea is good actually no matter how many kindergartners they murked

Akoma, by Jlin 11 track album

#listentothesounds: jlin.bandcamp.com/album/akoma - tonight's album is "Akoma" by Jlin.

Painful Enlightenment, by Jana Rush 11 track album

#listentothesounds: jaru.bandcamp.com/album/painfu... - tonight's album is "Painful Enlightenment" by Jana Rush. heavy shit here. is it sound collage? footwork? ambient dub something or other? doesn't matter, but it's confusing & uncomfortable & those are nice feelings to have listening to an album.

Double Cup, by DJ Rashad 15 track album

#listentothesounds: dj-rashad.bandcamp.com/album/double... - tonight's album is "Double Cup" by DJ Rashad. Chicago/Indiana/Footwork/Footwork-adjacent music on the brain.

flabbergasted anyone could flip a Republican on anything, much less this issue. Rep. Zephyr out there doing what no Democrat at the federal level seems capable of.
