Nick Gamer ( @bootywhite.bsky.social ) at the Starday Tavern last night. (July 12, 2025)

That teeny tiny piece of paper by his chair is his set list. In addition to sounding like Gerald Collier fronting Whiskeytown, the man has good eyesight.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Putting together a feature listing as many Spread Eagle show dates/venues as I can manage to find, for a future issue of the comic/zine. I found 12 +/- Portland dates by searching Spread Eagle/The Go-Downs on The Mercury website.

But any help with other Eugene and on the road dates would be great!

Tonight I was adding some more Girl Trouble to my phone, and was thinking about the funny anecdote Ryder mentioned, & realized my mistake.

The documentary is STRICTLY SACRED: THE STORY OF GIRL TROUBLE (2014).

When I interviewed Ryder Greene, for PLAN 9: THE RECKONING, he mentioned a documentary about Girl Trouble. When I was editing the interview, I forgot to research/footnote the documentary.

Just how racist is Stephen
Miller? Even if you think you know, this timeline is wild www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjtrkpqr/

Stephen Miller is the architect behind Trump’s immigration policies — and he’s widely recognized as a white nationalist.

Be safe, everyone. Take care of yourselves, take care of each other.

A playing deck ‘king card’ with the 47th president’s likeness in place of the king, the card suit is a dollar sign. He’s wearing a cartoonish gold crown, holding cartoon bags of money, the American flag is draped over his shoulders. There’s a rough red ‘x’ drawn across the card, the words ‘No Kings’ are in the upper right and lower lefthand corners.

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.
