I’m mainly a singer/songwriter with the occasional divergence into improvised instrumental tone-poem-y kinds of stuff. Along the way, a lot of other interests come into play.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Particularly ironic as the funding for our federal government overwhelmingly comes from states with Dem leadership…
No longer the UNITED States. Democrat led states being excluded from funding and having a voice in governance.
White House excluding Dems from its annual governors meeting
It’s a break from a decades-long bipartisan tradition.

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

Until now, I guess.

When Trump screeches “Nobody understands a word this guy [Bad Bunny] is saying”, he is saying that anyone who understands Spanish is a “Nobody” to him.
That is over 45 million Americans who are “nobodies” to Trump.

This is so true. I mean, if he ever was capable.
Most of Trump's brain is trapped at the 2011 WHCA dinner getting made fun of by Obama. Not sure he's capable of processing time like a normal person anymore

Well now. I think we know where any “professional” protesters might finally get paid.
I can't think of anything I'd want to do less with my time than attending a protest against taxing billionaires. This is an insane amount of bootlicking energy.

This is so true of so many changes we need to our system. The only way to get them changed is if the Party of Grievance gets screwed by them. Once a Dem wins the presidency through the Electoral College without wining the popular vote, it will finally be done away with. But not before.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

Thanks for everyone who picked up my new one yesterday, this record was a true passion project. Lots more coming in 2026, a follow up to my As Time Draws Near story, the Witness Tree film/album, and a whole lot of work related to local folklore and music.

The massive “Pedo Bowl” projection is great — except Trump actually appeared in the Epstein files more than 38,000 times!!!

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
