And then I read the interview and laughed at him some more. Seriously, he's always wanted to be regarded as the purest, finest artist while waving the fury over music industry business decisions flag harder than anything else. He's been so angry at pop stars! Grrrr! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I am as amazing an artist as Vincent van Gogh and also I require that 7-11 pays me a licensing fee to put my face on Big Gulp cups. And also the Pledge of Allegiance in schools should be to *me.*

Translation: "The American people, most of them, are paying a little higher. Maybe more than a little, even. But it's worth it because rich people like me are making a killing."

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

That’s a radiant Mrs GD in the foreground, with Leary beside and slightly behind her, looking grabby, which he definitely was.

I draft a whole screenplay for HBO, and then they just blurt it out.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

I’m no foreign policy expert but no one should have this much power. “Starlink provides a lifeline for Ukrainian forces on the front lines attacking Russian troops and defending themselves from strikes. With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict.”

The new press secretary looks like a poorly designed NPC in a Baldur's Gate game. I see her face and immediately I'm wondering how many lines of dialogue I have to click through before combat begins.

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

This is a significant worsening of our current state of constitutional collapse. I know it feels like there are so many, and there are, but in terms of crossing the Rubicon moments this one's up there.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Jen Hernandez, and people like her, may just decide who controls Congress this year. Hernandez, 43, is Mexican-American, millennial, married, and lives in a small city in Colorado. In 2016, she voted for comedian Roseanne Barr. In 2020, she backed Biden, and in 2024 Jill Stein. 🧵

If you’re interested in buying one of these Model 4 prototypes, keep an eye out here. The Trump economy is shitting in my salad, so I’m getting a few guitars cleaned up for sale.

Natural one is African mahogany body (1-piece) & neck. Gemini Mercury One humbuckers in soapbar form. Also reasonably light with chunky neck. Another great rock machine with those cool humbuckers.

The thin body with high playing surface makes for a kinder break angle for your arm over the body, which is easier on the right shoulder, if you have shoulder problems. I almost called this design the Safety Guitar (SG), but you might put an eye out with those pointy horns, so I didn't.

The Model 4 is a thin-bodied guitar, thin as an SG, but the neck, bridge, and pickups sit up at a higher plane above the body than on an SG, making it feel like an archtop in some ways. The design esthetic was "what if Teisco was crushing on Wandre and hired Giorgetto Giugiaro to design a guitar?"

Orange one is an alder body & African mahogany neck. USA Bigsby tremolo, Duncan Custom Shop Seth Lover soapbar humbucker, Lollar P90. Pretty light. Neck has a pretty chunky C+ profile, similar to a 50s Gibson. The Lover & Lollar P90 combo is super cool with lots of drive. Rich & thick. Rock machine.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.
