If you MUST pan the drums, audience.

Just thought I'd pop in.... been a while!

BIDEN and Harris WON! And didn't get assassinated before being sworn in!

Hopefully thing will be better now.

It's 2021, so yes, we survived 2020. The question is whether we've survived 2016. Well, it looks like we probably have! Pretty amazing, really. Maybe I can stop worrying about fucking politics for awhile. I was worrying that the "opposition" was going to bomb the inauguration podium, but ...

Have we?

Is anyone else watching the news? Is this not EXACTLY what I've been warning about for the last 4-5 years?

Armed traitors taking over the Capitol?

Shit, meet fan!

big ol' yikes from the USA over here. Honestly not sure what is happening. It feels like two completely different countries. Well, I've been warning about this crap for HOW MANY years now? What it feels to me is like Germany in the later '30s with the Brownshirts and the SS. The count today is some...

If you're in the USA and you haven't voted yet, PLEASE VOTE! Don't put it off till the last minute because you never know what might happen. Do it NOW, while there's still time. And do it in person, so Mr. DeJoy's (what an ironic name) screwing with the post office can't disenfranchise you. We voted...

I just bread a statistic that about 85% of Americans think politics are about 2 parties that just argue all the time. I think it's a stupid country. If Trump loses he could probably still doom the country in the 2 1/2 months he would remain in power. Hell, McConnell and the GOP senate can probably ...

My only real hope is that the US military,who do still maintain SOME credibility, will abandon their "apolitical" stance and move against fascism after the election. I am not holding my breath. And then they need to relinquish the power to the real winners. Which would be noth a very surpr...

A couple of years ago I advocated that "liberals", meaning right thinking people, stop advocating stringent gun control because the right wing militias WILL NOT give up theirs and when it all comes down we will be lambs for the slaughter, with no defense. That time has OBVIOUSLY come. And ...

I just plugged in my DX7 for the first time in a while. Paid $30 at a thrift store a couple years ago. So far it's all tines, tine variations, and sounds which might as well be tines. I'm not even sure what a tine is. Alright, apparently it's the pokey bit of a fork. That's nice. Tines are also the...

Well, I guess everybody knows it by now - Rump's got the virus. I guess that proves that Rump is an ass!

If he dies and Pence gets it and dies that makes Pelosi president.

I'll be interesting to watch McConnell's health, as well.

Take care and be well, my friends!

I'm voting. I still feel like we're fucked. It has been one hell of a wake up call of a year for this country. But it is hard to know if everyone feels like that, or will do anything about it. I'm currently extremely worried about the way the media is handling current events, possibly leading us to...

Is anybody watching the news? Y'all here know that I've considered myself a bit of a paranoid for a long time. Recent events have made me reconsider. The pandemic, after a short reprieve, has become MUCH worse, and in portions of the country that were not affected much previously. Half (or more) the...

So just recently my interface stopped responding and 'interfacing' with my computer. When I turn it on [with my computer off] it starts making this clicking sound through my speakers that seems to coincide with the from panel screen flashing - which would normally just stay lit up when I turned it ...

Clicking synced with screen flashes? I could be way wrong, but it sounds to me like an electrolytic capacitor that's shorting out when it reaches a certain charge. Probably PS, but could be elsewhere. Worth taking a look for swelling and/or leakage. Can't hurt. I'm not an "electrical engineer&q...

I'm OK. I just haven't been here for a while, dealing with family issues. I'm glad to see the usual inmates still kicking. Life is pretty normal for me. We, as a country, went hard from the beginning with total lockdown and closed borders. We now get our reward with no community cases for nearly 3 ...

Watching the TV News tonight (NBC) and I'm reminded of my warning many months ago of the potential for the growth of Fascism here.

Invasion of cities by armies of anonymous masked warriors from who knows where? On TV News?????

Nobody believed me.

I'm mostly OK myself, but my mother passed away exactly two months ago due to the combined effects of recovering from liver surgery for cancer and a chronic heart condition. The epidemic was blessing to me as I could be with her in her final days. She was strong and kept a positive outlook up to he...

"Exciting" week.... One is reminded of the ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times"...

It appears that some of my paranoid predictions have come a little too close for comfort. I hate it when that happens.....

OK in the USA?

No.

This may very well be the moment that I've been warning about for months, even years, when Donald Trump makes s serious move to install himself as dictator.

It's right out of Adolph Hitler's play book from the 1930s.

Well, in my case I share a house with my lead guitarist, Bob Clic, and we've been working a bit most days to work up more "country classics" for the band when things improve enough for us to get back together. So far we've got an additional set worked out with more on the way, including a ...

You were warned to stay away from the brown acid, but you didn't listen. Actually I didn't go to Woodstock. I was about 75 miles away with the drummer in my college band and his family in Endicott,. but we decided that it looked like waaaay to big a clusterfuck and decided not to go. And, famously,...

I hope that you are all ok. We have it pretty much under control here at the moment. New York sounds pretty grim. The pictures of mass graves they dug with bulldozers on Hart Island are about the most shocking thing I've seen so far. Stacking coffins 3 high. Rolling_beat is in Italy. I think Knastr...

Coincidence or conspiracy?

Obviously in need of Weedy lessons.

One of my more paranoid ideas about this is that the virus very well be at least partially artificial in origin. No, not by the Chinese as so many (mostly right winger) propagandists have been spreading. The Chinese are victims just as we are, and are also major US trading partners. No, it's someon...

They need the dixiecrat vote to stay in power. It's all about corruption using religion as an enabler. Of course. Religion has ALWAYS been an enabler for corruption, going way, way back to the days of Babylon, if not long before. You should have heard my daddy, who was a scholar in such matters, go...
