Terrorism on the high seas. Using naval might to keep food out of the mouths of starving children. I wish I believed in hell because then I could imagine that there's a special place in it for Benjamin Netanyahu

An incredible new song and video dropped by some of my favorite musicians Massive Attack and Tom Waits. Spread this far and wide. This is important. Every American NEEDS to see this youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE?...

Crazy, I was born not too far from there at Boulder community Hospital in 1977. Groovy town, Morrison. I grew up climbing those rocks

I fully support this. No single man or woman should ever have that much power. I've always felt that way. Why would it ever come down to just one person? America has a daddy complex that we need to get over. We're still trying to shake off King George and now have to deal with this bloated blow hard

I did. I used to draw and paint so much! I haven't done it in for a really long time. I've turned all my focus towards making music but I really need to bust the sketchbook back out. Drawing and painting is like changing the dust filter on your heart. Mine needs some maintenance

Saw this old songbook noodle I doodled decades ago looking back at me today. It's like she's visiting me through a looking glass from the past saying "umm... hey guys... are you OK? Like… How and WHY did you elect the orange rapey guy again? Things used to be so cool. Wtf happened?☹️"

Here you can really see her crooked face. I can't say enough wonderful things about Vafa animal shelter. They have an entire team of pro bono veterinarians that fix up broken dogs from all over the Middle East to help them find good homes on the I-5 corridor here in the states vafashelter.com

Vafa animal shelter in Tehran has got to be one of the most amazing dog rescues on the planet. They rescue pooches from all around the Middle East and have a team of pro bono veterinarians. Those are the doctors that fixed up our little girl vafashelter.com/vafa-animal-...

I guess now is as good as time as any to introduce our little Iranian refugee Phoebe. Her little body was found broken and battered on the streets of Tehran 11 years ago. After recovering from facial reconstruction surgery, she made it all the way to Seattle where we lovingly adopted her 🇮🇷🐕♥️✌️

Definitely get the big one though. The six way one. It's got the individual on and off switches per channel and that's what the little one is missing. I plan on buying at least two more of his toys when I get my refund check

(2) and then you can set the individual mix and volume of the effect with the two knobs below. Put anywhere on your board for heavenly tones and use like a regular Reverb if you want. But set it up like I did and put it in front of an overdrive and you'll mess your pants

Mat Winkelman @matwinkelman.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
It's really unique compared to the others. That doesn't discount how awesome the other stuff is. Everyone should have a space echo. But the soft focus mixes big reverb, subtle delay, subtle modulation, and subtle shimmer. Set it like I did where you can turn the top three knobs up all the way...(1)

My Linux based recording rig. All the guitars, mics, n' drums sub mixed in off screen. I just use mint but I think there's a Linux flavor specifically suited to audio. But so far so good!

Mat Winkelman @matwinkelman.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
Just saw the last part. Linux is great for audio! There are many DAW's and they work better than the Windows based programs. Linux doesn't route the signal through all kinds of garbage before it gets to the a/d converter like windows does. Zero latency!

Do it! I just did it to both my computers. Each one was Windows 10 unupdateable, but excellent machines otherwise. Now they're Linux Mint machines and they work fantastic and will continue to do so for years to come. Get bent Microsoft!

The soft focus has something really special going. Mix and fx lvl makes for wash control. I put mine in front of my overdrive and it's instant Shoegaze bliss. I have the smallest shoe gazer board on earth because of the soft focus. It's the white one. I paint over my gear logos for reasons

No worries! Seriously though, I've had a couple other gals say "I don't think I like your politics but your name is creepy." It's time. And thanks for the kind words! I actually started a protest here in Seattle every Saturday at noon called "bury the broligarchs" and it's still going ✊

Truth. Super creepy if you think about it. I initially picked it because that's the name of my business. I'm an actual handyman 👨🏻‍🔧 I certainly didn't choose the name of my vocation as it's decidedly sexist but that's how it shows up on the license. Changing it now. Mustn't give the wrong impression 😅

Yeah, and the numbers have been in for quite a long time now. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit a tiny fraction of the crime that "natural born Americans" commit per capita. As immigrants get deported, our overall crime rate goes up.

the Trump administration says that they're trying to kick "illegal voters off the rolls" but they're actually trying to kick natural born and naturalized citizens off. Trump has made it clear. Anyone who doesn't vote for him shouldn't be voting at all. I'm sorry all this crap is happening to you!
