This is political retribution—straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Trump is attacking parents, kids, and low-income families to punish states that won't fall in line. He's using our most vulnerable as bargaining chips.
It's despicable and Californians won't stand for it.

Some of the youth have found shoegaze, and I'm here for it. Wisp's current tour finished in KC last night at a sold-out recordBar, with more than a few minors out late (for a school night), dragging along a parent. The kids are alright.

I was feeling meh, as tends to happen, but Shonen Knife at the recordBar made me happy for a while. It had been 7 years since their last KC show, but I last saw them on Christmas Eve 2022 in Tokyo.

Can't believe I'm not seeing the Jayhawks tonight, but (1) Grinders, (2) expensive, and (3) they're sandwiched between two bands I don't care about. Three strikes, guess I'm out.
