Keep in mind that it was as Trump was nominating a potential Secretary of Defense who appears open to supporting an auto-coup in 2028 that he began talking about arresting blue-state governors who defy him over... ...“immigration,” supposedly. But he was moving a key auto-coup Overton Window, too.

They keep saying to me that freedom ain't free, But I pay through the nose for nothing I see. They rise high and I get low, But at least we observed the courtesy.

Oh it was before that, they cued up this argument in 2009 against the ACA. Somehow every right winger was convinced that every health malady was because you ate the wrong food and got fat, so why should they pay for it, you dirty pig. Then they kept eating KFC.

Turned out I'd made the mistake because I had mistakenly believed I'd flown across the International Date Line the week before. I hadn't. Instead I'd spent The Entire Week believing it was one day forward from the day it was.

This was before smartypants phones so to have my argument with the gate agent, I had to go print the ticket email with the full information on it from a kiosk. This flight was also to move out of a country forever so I didn't have anywhere to go for the 24 hours.

I went to the airport 24 hours early once, arriving at 5:30 a.m. for a 7:30 international flight with my confirmation number and flight number in hand.

Cock Up Your Beaver. Had this song stuck in my head the other day. It's about a dude with a new hat that's just a bit too slick. I enjoy the name AND the fact that there are a lot of Scottish trad songs about hats. youtu.be/caq63ZHO0Og?...

If somebody is still insisting on bad ideas after being presented good countering evidence, they're irrationally obstinant, a cynical grifter with financial interest in misleading, or dumb. Tldr you're right but it only works in a good faith situation and I think we blew that popsicle stand.

Anna @latelyanna.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

You're not wrong, but I do tend to think that most of the people who get called dumb for having bad ideas have had NUMEROUS opportunities to put their ideas up for discussion.

I've got so little but you take so much A silly plan, but you got so rich What ya gonna do when my money's gone You got my cash now you want my bones It's thinning here, out by the edge One drama and it'll surely crack An infinite approach to ruin But your priority needs are on my back

New song in dev: Money and Bones. About capitalist rent-seeking practices. I gave lyrics to Husband at his request and obviously it sounds amazing already. Now to come up with some harmonies and fiddle fills.

I really enjoyed the stuff that got suggested to me in the early days of filesharing. There was a platform pre-Limewire and post-Napster that did a great job suggesting unknown bands to me I bought a lot of CDs that way. Can good sharing algorithms do that?

Omg new followers and SO MANY ARTIST PLAYLISTS! If I haven't followed you back, it's because I'm slow; if I haven't liked your latest tracks, it's because I haven't got there yet - but I WANT to and I love this!

Especially when medicine for chronic conditions is so tightly gatekept. I swear, in the 2010s I watched the road get paved from "I have recalcitrant adult acne" to "I am a Paleo tradwife raw milk antivaxxer."

Anna @latelyanna.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

I'm not sure that's entirely a self thing - we're awash in social messaging that health is under YOUR control via fitness/self-ok improvement, right? It's so tempting when there's a chronic issue to get rigid, get orthorexic, get control, and still your body betrays you...

The chronic-condition-to-toxic-wellness-to-fash pipeline is pretty real and terrible. I guess it's not surprising that this is one of the options.

I keep tailspinning between "it's normal to have my hair on fire because NONE OF THIS IS FINE" and "I must be defective because look at all these people being normal and going about their day." Anyone else?

OH MY GOD NO. It's been increasingly obvious since Me Too that the proportion of men (and women) who are toxically patriarchal is waaaaayyyy higher than I thought. This is like, oh my god it's well past the majority mark.

Dunno if it's top shelf yet, definitely some collective trauma warfare content, but I just stuck a new song on YouTube if there's interest.

Getting repeatedly smacked with the lyrics bat this week. I managed to finish one and turn it over to Husband yesterday. Quite pleased to have worked "oligarchic upward flow" into a verse.

@danielmesse.bsky.social hey! I've just followed your songwriting starter pack, and I'm also looking for an SP that's for indie first-timers. (That's me! Long time fiddle, short time song.) But I haven't been able to find one yet. Any other SPs you recommend? 🫶
