Fun thing about pivoting to full-time 12-string is getting to develop a second set of rawer, newer callouses and fingertip ditches.

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

This is a really important story. You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI. The children of Shajarah Tayyebah Elementary paid the price

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

A lot of the record labels now put microchips in the LPs. That’s why they need 180 grams. Some of those grams are the microchip. They use it to collect data about if people call the LPs “vinyls”, and when they do, the label tells the artist and the artist gets sad. That’s how they make dreampop.

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.
