Singer-songwriter guy who uses a plastic pumpkin as a tip jar. Once a burly barkeep shook my hand and called me a “mother%&ing bard.” Best compliment I ever got.

Why yes, I listen to @andrewhickey.500songs.com… Why do you ask?

Record shelf with four albums propped up: The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Flying Burrito Brothers’ “Gilded Palace of Sin,” Sly and the Family Stone’s Greatest Hits, and The Incredible String Band’s “The Big Huge.”

Appreciate it! One of my musical projects is writing songs that sound like they could have been around for decades. And not just because I’m closing in on 50.

I wrote this song for our local No Kings protest on Saturday. I kept it simple and catchy, and offer it up to anyone who needs something to say or sing. Take it, change it, rewrite it, remix it. Write your own song. Ribbit loud!

I was in a Glaswegian night club in December 1995 and when this song played, it hit HARD.

Even the “on the other hand” part is an indictment of A.I.: “absent the AI boom we would probably have lower interest rates [and] electricity prices, thus some additional growth in other sectors. In very rough terms that could maybe make up about half of what we got from the AI boom.”

Someone just found out the No Kings protests are still gonna happen.

Two posts: one from Indivisible, declaring that the October 18 No Kings protest is going to be big; and one from Homestar Screens, of the King of Towns sweating profusely.

Thomas Paine: pens a 25,000-word blockbuster pamphlet inspiring British colonists to demand independence and changing the course of world history.

69Patriot420: posts the Pam Beasley meme comparing Biden to a shriveled potato.

Local GOP committee: These are the same.

Schuyler GOP Facebook page posts a meme where one guy says “You won’t fix anything by posting memes” and another guy replies “The American revolution was mostly planned in pubs and was popularized using pamphlets.”

You can always tell an A.I. virus because it has the wrong number of spike proteins.

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

Count me among the “book is better” crowd. The movie is a fine secondary experience, but it almost works better if you’ve read the book. I’m mostly done with Clown in a Cornfield 2. Worth reading!

Sounds like a BEAR. She definitely has a legitimate BEEF.

CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading
