In order for fascists to do what they do and believe what they believe they have to kill their own heart every day. It tries to heal constantly so they need to kill it constantly. So when you criticize them they become more aware of this war they are waging on themselves and they lash out.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I need a recommendation for a USB-A midi interface for my keyboard that isn’t super laggy. Please and thank you.

Cruelty is the official state religion of the US. Every system and structure: patriarchal state, political, military, education and law enforcement have a primary doctrine. Humans shall be programmed for cruelty. Humans who are programmed for cruelty will uphold the status quo of a violent system.

Some actors were arrested for protesting outside the UN headquarters in NYC and you KNOW the cops that arrested them gotta have no idea who they are.

I saw a post where someone was commenting on Ed Sheeran’s tattoos and they called them “spiritually Israeli.” I’ve heard this before and I think it’s going to become common language to describe a hollow facade. A poorly constructed and unconvincing facsimile of something meaningful.

I'm sometimes very aware of my shortcomings as an artist but at least I haven't got meal brain like Ed Sheeran.

We speak with moral philosopher Susan Neiman, author of the new book, "Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era." Neiman argues that evil — far from being an outdated religious concept — is a vital way to understand how injustice works in the world.

Fascists are junkies. Addicted to abuse. You can make them “drink” on command by holding up a mirror to their cruel behavior or beliefs. They must then cope by reaching for the bottle. By bottle I mean they cope by abusing people. Mere junkies is all they are.

Zionism is fascism. Israel is carrying out a genocide. If you support Israel you support the starvation and murder of children.

If you’re depressed consider this: you haven’t chosen to be an instrument of the powers that are actively trying to make the Earth uninhabitable. The tragedy of their existence isn’t your responsibility. You process your pain and don’t inflict pain on others. Know I’m proud of you stranger.

I played my song for my 90 year old grandma on the piano and she said she'd never heard anything like it before. Though my grandma may have that response to a lot of contemporary music it's still a nice thing to hear.

When channeling I will sometimes wonder if I just snagged the melody from something I heard earlier in the day/week. Doesn’t really matter if I did I suppose. Here’s some das.

Homework is making a C major chord progression lead sheet and I transposed it to E major which doesn’t sound as good. Currently left on a cliffhanger. Where shall I take it?

So, they're making a Star Trek horror game where you play as Ro Laren voiced by Michelle Forbes and made by the people that did the Silent Hill 2 remake. Cool.

I wrote a really good song last night but since there’s no music to go with it, it would be premature to share. It feels like a blessing when a wellspring of inspiration pours the words truly into a song.

Fascists really do believe that violence, big or small, subtle or spectacular, is the answer to almost any challenge they face, individually or as a group. It’s tragic and unoriginal to see and live in the world this way.

Witch going to the Sabbath botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Witch Going to the Sabbath" by Remedios Varo depicts a surreal figure adorned in a flowing, ethereal garment, its mysterious expression enhanced by a flamboyant crown of red hair. Varo's work often blends mystical themes with a meticulous, fantastical style, drawing on her interest in alchemy, magic, and the spiritual world.

Jimothy is a messenger from the spirit world. We are reminded of nature’s whimsy in these trying times. We are reminded that it’s in our nature to celebrate that which is different. That’s why Jimothy is now a star.
