There’s something tragically beautiful about this. 30.000 ISK is something like 200 Euros or 250 USD.

@nluewmist / I’m finally reading Dune. This quote which in the first few pages hit hard; “once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only let other men with machines to enslave them.”

I am getting to be known for my extremely short sound checks. My sound engineers usually really appreciate my no hassle and no fuss approach to soundchecking. My ethos: in music, as in love making, If I can’t be the best, at least I can be the quickest.

It’s so funny when people say “we have more billionaires than ever before!” Like it’s a great thing, a shining merit of capitalism. When I hear it, I just hear “The vampires have been brooding new spawn and they are overrunning the city!”

I wonder if anyone has told Peter Thiel and his ghoul friends that they will never upload their consciousnesses into a computer. They will die sad and alone and no one will mourn them or remember them with love. Their vast wealth will evaporate into nothing.

Each and every @deutschebahn.com train I’ve boarded today has been delayed quite severely. Because of this, I am currently 4 hours behind schedule… :-/ Good work DB… Good work Gerhard Schröder, former german chancellor that made DB a “for profit” transport company, rather than public utility.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Það segir svo mikið um Snorra Másson, og með hverjum hann samsamar sig, að ÞETTA mál sé það sem ógni málfrelsinu skv. honum. Ekki þegar almennir borgarar eru drepnir í BNA, þegar blaðamenn eru drepnir á Gaza, eða þegar þingmenn Demókrata eru skotnir heima hjá sér.

„Svartur dagur fyrir málfrelsi á Vesturlöndum“
„Enn annar svartur dagur fyrir málfrelsi á Vesturlöndum.“ Þetta skrifar Snorri Másson, þingmaður Miðflokksins, í færslu á samfélagsmiðlinum X í kjölfar morðsins á bandaríska íhaldsmanninum Charlie Kir...

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

When a person tries to defend a Genocide by saying that what’s going on is actually more an ethnic cleansing, it reminds me a lot of the people that try to defend a pedophile by saying that “technically” they are a “hebephile”.

If I were an ICE agent, I’d be embarrassed as hell that they were filing assault charges against mild mannered politicians in their 50s. Just how fucking soft are these little man babies? They seem like they’d burst into tears at the sound of a slammed door.

A couple of times in my career, I've run into wealthy people that either want to buy my guitar or make me play in a setting or way that crosses my boundaries. When I've refused and say my guitar is not for sale or the idea is not appropriate for me, they smugly answer: "Everything has a price." WTF?

True story: When J.K. Rowling visited Iceland on her yacht, she stopped by Ísafjörður, a beautiful seaside town in the West fjords. And instead of trying the cuisine of their legendary local restaurants, she ordered takeout from Reykjavik by helicopter. That was before her anti-trans arc.

There’s an infinite number of pairs of numbers that have both these qualities: A: Not “Zero sum” B: One is very high and the other one is negative. People that justify capitalist exploitation by saying the economy isn’t a “zero-sum game” are full of shit. Whether they are evil or dumb is a question

Troubadour luck is getting bad pollen allergy, visiting a pharmacy to get allergy pills, the pharmacist warning you about “drowsiness”, taking a pill, falling asleep on the train and waking up an hour after your destination, but it’s ok because it’s Deutsche Bahn and the train was 90 mins late. :-)

I shiver at the thought, but in all the chaos of #signalgate I am pretty confident that the only real consequence of the whole thing will be Elon Musk going bananas about not being part of a group chat and demanding to be included in the future, making everyone cringe squared.

I have two days off on this 35 day long European tour. Tonight, I’m spending one of them in Nürnberg, drinking a very nice beer and generally just zoning out. This morning, I woke up at 6 a.m. like almost every morning the last three weeks. Tomorrow I will try to sleep until 9. The little things ❤️

Average bootlicker: “Musk has 500 billion dollars! What have you done?!? What are you worth?!? Loser!” Me: “I have four children, all of which I love unconditionally and they love me back.” They seem to be laboring under the misconception that normal people give a shit about being a billionaire.

Trust is a piggy bank. Once you break it, it’s shattered and you can’t just pretend it’s still there and keep putting money in. It’s broken and it will take a long time to rebuild. That’s why the situation with the USA is so serious. The trust is broken and it will take a very long time to fix
