If the tariffs on the order of Cardputers isn't confiscatory, I may have found a small side gig.

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

So. The world has shifted.
I am artist who relies on SNAP benefits to feed myself and help to care for my mother.
I don’t like asking for something for nothing, so

Commissions are OPEN!

Art makes a great gift.

I might have ordered a few of these.

I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

This is my radio show. Tonight's show is dedicated to the music of Zach Mason, who recently lost his battle with ALS. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I wanted to be in the right frame of mind to do it justice.

I hope you'll give a listen.

just a reminder that usps was actually revenue positive (on a non-gaap basis) in q1 2025 and the vast majority of this shortfall has to do with how usps must pre-fund pension obligations for like 30+ years-something no private company has to do.

Mainstream Media seem to forget there's a reason that Iran became an authoritarian surveillance state. It was because of the number of Mossad and CIA operations and operators in Iran.

Ronald Reagan said the most terrifying words in the English language were: "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."

I think "I'm from the government, and I'm going to shoot you in the face, you fucking bitch" is worse.

Teya from the YouTube Channel "Strange Aeons" standing in front of a microphone in a white-collared shirt with a black tie and vest, and a paper hat with colored tassels on her head. Behind her are projected the words: "The greatest research skill you can have is being a nosy bitch who wants to find out."
