Happy #Fediversary to me!

A re-#introduction: My 1st computer was a TRS-80. But it wasn't cool to be a nerd then, so I became a drummer and made a living at that for 10yrs, cruiseship #piano bars for 5. Now I do #songwriting for #art. Along the way I came back to the computer and learned to run my own servers for my website and #livestreaming and do my own #recording and to reclaim power through #selfhosting pretty much everything. Finally escaped Win for #Linux just last year ✊ #Arch btw lol

"if you are someone who really believes that the true power centers in America, the real threats to our freedoms and value, come not from the CIA and the FBI and Wall Street and Silicon Valley [...] but instead comes from fringe groups of fat middle-aged guys in the deindustrialized, decimated, deprived interior of the country cosplaying as militiamen [...] then it makes perfect sense that you would regard this work by corporate media outlets as heroic and necessary."

I'm gonna make a giant soft pretzel. Not like stupid big, but pretty damn big.

Just a man, a piano, and simple music for complicated people. And beer. Featuring the rants, tangents and non sequiturs you've endured since 2007.

Kind of sums up US govt and economy in general. Also works if you swap "businesses" and "residents".

"Businesses have complained that they have played by the rules yet had to pay the price for residents who didn’t do so."

People still concerned about election fraud and counting votes, which has already shown more staying power than it did during the primaries before SC.

You know that creepy cult style of art you see in, like, copies of the Bhagavad Gita they give out at the Krishna temple? Or the laughing Jesus? The official art of North Korea? "The Republican Club" by Andy Thomas?

Funny how it was all candidates running as "centrist" or "moderate" who lost their races, you don't typically hear them using that slogan.

Congratulations to the progressive voters of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky for replacing the corrupt pit bull Mayor Brynneth Pawltro with reformist French bulldog Wilbur Beast.

Yet McConnell enters his 37th year in office.

Greatest Country in the World(TM) courtesy of an interrupted press conference in Nevada:

The man, wearing a white tank top that read “BBQ, BEER, FREEDOM,” yelled three iterations of “The Biden crime family is stealing the election. The media’s covering it up.”

"Watched by rest of the world — deeply affected by who rules the still-imperialist superpower — the U.S. struggles and stumbles and staggers to engage in a simple task mastered by countless other less powerful and poorer countries: counting votes."

BURN IT ALL DOWN

AP Explains: The election result may be delayed. That's OK.

Patience, America. We may not know who won the presidential election on Tuesday night. And if so, it does not necessarily mean anything is broken, fraudulent, corrupted or wrong....
