Oh shit! Thanks for reminding me I need to get mine! (FWIW A’s initial pathology results were no further cancer found, so so far, so good; I am free to be able to have side effects now.)

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Megyn Kelly criticized Jane Doe at Cornell for taking three weeks to come forward. But Megyn herself took 11 years to come forward about the sexual harassment she experienced. There’s a stark contrast between the grace she seems to think she is owed and how she is treating Jane Doe.

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

I'm glad to be focusing on original work, and happy with RAGE and the songs I've written since then. I've mostly taken a break on new covers. The Halloween album I'm posting tonight is all things I originally recorded pre-2025. I'm mooching off my parents' estate so money isn't dire for me, luckily.

How dare the National Museum of the American Indian refer to George Washington with a name that he was given by the Iroquois in 1753, a name which he himself used in his correspondence! So glad to see Fox News taking a stand against the politicization of history. s/

Smithsonian museum labels George Washington a
"town destroyer" while omitting why he ordered the attacks.
The National Museum of the American Indian's exhibit describes the destruction of 40 Iroquois towns but leaves out that the campaign was a direct response to devastating raids that crippled the Continental Army, destroyed frontier settlements and took prisoners.
The Trump administration has threatened funding cuts over what it calls the Smithsonian's push to reframe America's founding as "a deeply flawed creation of the country."

Treating this a little bit seriously, one of the nice things about works in the public domain is that every age gets to approach them differently, find the parts that resonate with them and bring them to the fore. Nolan's Odyssey is deeply different than the one made in the 90s, 70s or 50s would be.
