With a great effort, the rug is moved to one side of the room, revealing the dusty cover of a closed trap door.

Stand Up —

Listen America: To Trump, and to those who follow him religiously (including some in Congress), there’s no differentiating between the ones he hates. He’s going to go through his list one by one. Many of the people above are part of MAGA families. He’s starting with the ones that most people may not involve themselves […]

I kinda get podcasts now —

I’m just riffin’ daaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwggg….but podcasts are kinda like virtual friends that talk to you about stuff you both like. You don’t get to talk back, but there’s still a connection because it feels like they’re talking to you. There are so many out there, it’s a different social ecosystem than any other. There is commercialization […]

MAGA….Again? —

“Make America Great Again” 2024? Wasn’t the whole compromise in 2016, “Give Trump a chance” ? We did that. Remember what happened? He had 4 years to accomplish it. What did he do instead? Well, he complained, deflected, completely mismanaged a global pandemic which ended up killing millions, got impeached twice, incited violence hate and […]

Stalker – New Layer —

I haven’t played this song in decades but last night I was listening to some old tracks on my Soundcloud. Interestingly enough I didn’t play this song, but this morning I randomly started playing it (I haven’t picked up my bass in weeks =( ) I started recording and came up with a cool and […]

Don’t Forget Last Time —

Ok. At least at the moment, the future of the United States looks promising. But we need to talk about something. Last time, people got lazy. They didn’t vote. They thought it was a sure thing. And look what happened. When it comes time, get your fucking asses out there and VOTE. I don’t care […]

Maybe Something.. —

You should be able to password protect any software program on your computer. In Linux, the solution could be a simple zenity and/or bash hack to encrypt + decrypt your user config and data for said software program with gpg or something. You could provide your passphrase with zenity or another utility for the [de]crypting. […]

Happy 250th, ya filthy animal —

“The former president routinely promotes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.“ I never thought this would become ‘normal’. Not even for this short period of time. I sure hope that all of this is just a decades-long orchestrated narrative that’s supposed to pump us all up for USA’s 250th anniversary.. you know, as in a hero comes […]

Curse of Consciousness —

I wouldn’t recommend the pursuit of consciousness to anyone. I would not have chosen it for myself. I didn’t. It chose me. If it hasn’t called your number yet, don’t worry. It will, eventually. It will draft you from your small life and make impossible demands. You will say, “No”, “It can’t be done”, or […]

ToTD —

That quote in red defines how I feel music should be treated by every true artist at its core — a foundational, instinctual motive to create music not for profit, but for expression. Everything after that is just icing on the cake.

Makes Sense to Me —

This seems to make sense. Not for *all* people, but many I’m sure are too prideful to admit they were conned or taken advantage of. Embarrassing. I want those people know that nobody’s judging them and there’s no reason to feel any shame. Cut your losses; you found him out—leave it at that. We’re all […]
