I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

What's this shit about having to verify my age by giving my face out credit card information to some shady gamer company in the states? I thought this platform was supposed to be better than the others. 🤔

Turns out I'm using this platform almost as rarely as I used the other one. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Anyhow, be kind to each other. Unless the other is a nazi. Down with those assholes.

My dinner, a majestic raven, and Carsie Blanton killing it. What a great night.
Now I'm lurking about the very quiet and mostly deserted airport waiting for the gates to open at 4am for my flight at 6am home.

Some sights as I traveled to the concert venue. Some buildings that look very Irish. Some Tesco with Irish touches. Some posh Irish baby list their dummy. Some Irish clover on the side of the road. And the venue. Now for a nice Irish dinner and a craft IPA at the venue's restaurant half. ❤️ 🖤

Looking lovely, Cork. ❤️ 🖤 🇮🇪
On my way to see Carsie Blanton play. I'm fucking stoked!

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.
