Arnold Schoenberg and That Ol' Atonal Music: A Conversation YouTube video by Merle Hazard

The audience for this is probably extremely limited, but I got a kick out of it.

I said earlier that they are picking a fight with an institution that’s:

1) 8x older than the USA
2) Has survived countless wars, schisms, and scandals
3) Has over 1 billion adherents worldwide

They won’t know what hit ‘em

do you take crypto?

A couple of friends sent me these pictures of damage in Ann Arbor from last night’s storm.

The post office is not a fucking business. It is a fucking service that our fucking government is supposed to fucking provide for us. It's not fucking supposed to fucking be fucking profitable it's supposed to be our fucking tax dollars benefiting us

*stomped across the street.

bsky needs an edit button, dammit.

Our CEO, to his credit, took that to heart and rented space across the hall that was reserved only for developers. And he respected that restriction.

The Swalwell thing and the 'its known in CA politics' of it all is how people lose trust in politicians, parties, and journalists

A watched pot never boils. An unwatched pot boils all over the stove and onto the floor.
