##NowWatching Psycho II, 1983 A very underappreciated film, not the Hitchcock masterpiece, but we'll worth a watch as Norman Bates tries to adapt to life outside the institution. The presence of a young Meg Tilly keeps it grounded and I don't think it would have worked without her.

I'm really disappointed that i never found this before and that I'd never even heard of it. Trans punk singer and performance artist Jayne County of Wayne County and The Electric Chairs. As equally brilliant as ignored, and still doing it at 79!

If someone shows up for an interview with 34 felony convictions and a civil court finding of liability for sexual assault would you hire... nevermind, I guess you fucking would.

There are an estimated 2.17 million known species, and as many as 8.7 million total species, on this planet. There are about 100 billion planets in our galaxy and about 2 trillion more galaxies with about 100 billion trillion more planets. We still only have 2 political parties.

Post an obscure song lyric you love, maybe just a line to see if anyone knows it without looking it up, and if you don't know one, look it up and maybe you'll have a nice flashback or discover something new! Here's mine... "It's too late to fall in love with Sharon Tate."

A man walks in a bar and asks the bartender, "Want to hear a maga joke?" The bartender said, "I'm maga, the waitress is maga, the cook is maga, and those four cowboys playing poker are maga, still wanna tell that joke?" "Well, I guess not. I didn't bring enough crayons to explain it seven times."

#NowWatching Dark Shadows Continuing this watch of the original series from the beginning. It's really incredible, so simply done, such eerie moodiness. I can't help but be struck by Alexandra Moltke as Victoria Winters and how stunning she was in that shadow laden b&w.

The politics of a bowling league in the 1990's was enough for me to let the birds fly and walk out. Now, in the 2020's, if you have a dream in which you ask me to join a political party, you should probably run!

Seems a lot of celebs are saying divisive shit, good! Say that fucking shit, with intention, with your chest. That way, we all know who the fuck you are and can decide if we support you or not. That's not cancel culture, that's the free market, that's capitalism. That's what you wanted, right?

Imagining myself running for office and I get asked this question. "Do you think men should be allowed to play in women's sports?" "Do you have a question about the hungry, unhoused, or uninsured? Because until you do, you're asking the wrong questions! But since you asked, I don't give a fuck."

Before I heard punk, there was Billy Joel. One of the few musicians my religious mother would allow. It was nice because he wore a tie behind a piano. I was listening to the words. Captain Jack, Movin' Out, The Stranger, Only The Good Die Young, My Life, You May Be Right. It primed me for punk.

#NowWatching THE DOLL SQUAD, 1973 An unabashed rip off of early James Bond films that trades a single British misogynist for a squad of women super spies. Should be lovely trash!

Someone came to my door yesterday, I was busy watching old horror movies so I didn't answer. Today I found a John Husted for US Senate flyer on the porch. I'll be watching for their return. Going to try and pick a fight.

Arnold Poindexter once asked, "Would you rather live in the ascendancy of a civilization or during its decline?" Well, as it turns out, we get the decline.

So happy to have had the opportunity to visit our lovely neighbors to the north again before Orange Julius Caesar degrades our relationship into ruin. Really hoping to visit Vancouver in the next few years, if that remains a possibility.

I won't say what, but someone tried to sell me something today. The final line they got to run by me was something about what will happen in 20 years. I told them that I doubt there will even be a functioning human society in 20 years, maybe not even a planet. Then it was over!

While I truly love so many forms of Rock & Roll based music, there is something magical still living in the music of the Pre-Rock & Roll era. Like the lovely Hadda Brooks. youtu.be/Z8DSi3BJDXg?...

I have a lack of outrage. I see so much that I know should furiously anger me, but does not. I must ask myself why. My truth is that I never expected anything other than to live in a world of misery and horrors before dying alone and forgotten. I've already exceeded that departure window.

Stopped at Dunne's Ice Cream in York, ME last night. The young lady at the window had a tip jar that said she was saving for a guitar. I told her that as an old punk musician I couldn't not contribute to that. She asked for some advice about getting a guitar, I gave her some. Good luck Molly! ❤️ 🎸

Forty years ago I was acting as an informant inside neo-nazi groups in the army. Forty years later the neo-nazis and the zionists are on the same fucking team?! These motherfuckers lost their own plots. If I knew it would end up this way, I wouldn't have put myself at risk or wasted my time.

This is Hubert, Hubert the rooster, not the saint who saw the stag. We had an interesting discussion about how capitalism has already collapsed and we are now in the era of neo-feudalism while I was waiting for my pizza. He's a pretty cool dude.

1986 I am patrolling the Czechoslovakian border. There is a sickening foulness in the air. The body of someone killed trying to escape has been left to rot, as a warning. 2026 I might feel more like those on the other side of that border did 40 years ago, trapped, comply or die, awaiting my turn.
