Your honor, I submit that we’re not dealing with a credible witness. He has already testified that he is the eggman. Now he’s reversed himself and claims to be the walrus.
Got this very inexpensive chinese synth over the summer, and yesterday updated it with some 3rd party firmware (undoubtedly AI vibe coded, I know, awful). Now it's a cute little DAW for under $100. Personally I write music and program it the old fashioned way so don't hate me for this.

Back in the day we taped a polaroid camera to a stick. Hilarity ensued.
My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Brian Dewan built this desk for me more than thirty years ago. Since then I’ve taken it apart and moved it five times. It’s now in it’s sixth studio and being readied for it’s fourth decade of service.
Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last yr.AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
Strolling around San Diego today I visited this monument depicting a sailor sexually assaulting a dental hygienist on V-J day. The name of the 25 foot high computer generated kitsch, if you weren’t already creeped out by what it depicts, is “Unconditional Surrender.”
oh yes the same people who acted like they were being murdered when they had to put a piece of cloth over their faces definitely understand the concept of shared sacrifice
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Rep.

Minuteman Statue, Lexington MA Given the ongoing debate about how we commemorate our history I just want to add a shoutout to D. Boon and the Minutemen, punk rock soldiers who deserve their own monument. camera: Argus Matchmatic
Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze. I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies. Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.
