If your politics are hating Jews or hating Palestinians, we have nothing in common. Caring about people isn’t a zero sum game.

You have to be a total dummy & a fascist if you think Americans want to watch state run media. GTFO.

Every single person who gets infected with measles and/or dies should have their medical/funeral bills sent to Dummy Jr. He broke it, he owns it.

In memoriam 25 years ago of being pulled from the wreckage on 9/11 by two big strong firefighters who said “hey, we gotta get out of here,” I’m changing my name to Hans America

Instead of lecturing folks on vaccines, Golden Dummy should stick to what he knows about; hiding in catering carts, farting himself awake during cabinet meetings and making everything way more expensive.

There's always going to be one person who writes a posthumous Substack about that one time you were an asshole to them — proof, apparently, that no one should ever say nice things about you or grieve you. Or maybe that person is the asshole.

Been thinking about all the fun stuff I missed out on when I was younger because I thought it was uncool (namely music). So dumb. Getting older has its drawbacks but growing up doesn't.

Real talk; It’s always the biggest cry babies blubbering on about “alpha” this and “real men” that. I’d respect you more if you just wore a dress and stfu.

If there’s one thing painfully obvious about the world, it’s that you have very little control over it. But you can control how you feel about it and how you treat people—and that makes a lot more difference than you’d think

Should be popular opinion: While not ostensibly a movie about music, Grosse Pointe Blank is a better music movie and provably better than High Fidelity in every way. Fight me.

Food for thought; not everyone you dislike is crazy or a narcissist. Besides, they all have one thing in common: you. Ruminate on that, beyotch.

Today is a good day to do that thing you’ve been putting off. You know, like the 25th amendment.

We lost a war we didn’t need to start and it only cost us 380 billion dollars (incl the “peace deal” rebuilding Iran), 13 lives, over 420 wounded & all of our military bases in that region destroyed. Not to mention a new “fee” to use Strait of Hormuz. Nice job MAGA! You make losing look effortless!

Vaccines Save Lives! “Saying "I didn't vaccinate because I have an immune system" is like saying "I didn't go to school because I have a brain". And it shows.”

The amount of horseshit masquerading as news and advice on social media is overwhelming and disheartening. No wonder everybody’s miserable and not getting laid ;)

I’ve said this before but it bears repeating that I view mastering like working on puzzles, only the pieces are frequencies and there’s zero chance of losing any of those under grandma’s table.

It’s another beautiful day in this Armageddon hell hole we call Southern California. Seriously, you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the misery of constant sunshine, 70 F (21 for you Celsiusians) & lots of open minds. The worst!

As I get older, I’m continuously shocked and infuriated by unprofessional professionals — in this case, medical professionals who’ve taken an oath to do no harm, which I believe extends to emotional harm as well as physical.

Lens flares and light anomalies don’t distract me from PDFiles. I’m funny like that. Where are the Trump-Epstein files?

It always amazes me how much of a difference just switching the order of a signal chain can make to the sound and balance of a mix or master.

It's rad when you find that combination of secret sauce that works on an album and just makes the whole thing yum.

I keep wondering what my Iranian friends think about Trump's warning today that a 'whole civilization will die' if the Iranian regime doesn't open the Strait. It no longer sounds like anyone in the admin ever cared about the Iranian people to begin with - & now they've become targets of both sides.

All the folks I know that are great at something do it everyday, rain, sleet, or snow whether anybody cares or not -and they've been showing up and doing it their whole lives. So whatever you're doing, if you enjoy it, don't stop. You are already winning. Most people give up by lunch.
