  1. We're fucking broken. I don't know what else to say. The shitheels in control have made politics so repugnant that no ethical or moral person would ever consider running for office. So we keep going to the polls and casting votes for shitheels, and surprise surprise -- things keep getting shittier and shittier.
  2. What I don't think people fully appreciate is that while yeah, there are some dumb fucking voters out there, there are a lot of voters who aren't dumb but love Trump. I know a few of these, and they have kind of given up all pretenses if they trust you. They think the federal government is fatally flawed and needs to be broken and rebuilt no matter the cost. They know completely well that Trump has some horrific traits competing for dominance -- narcissism, sociopathy, stupidity and criminality. They do not care. They view his hatchet-man governance as the opportunity to remake the federal government to be something from before the New Deal and all the progressive measures enacted in the last half of the 20th century (civil rights, gay marriage, etc...). That is their vision of a better America. And they don't sport swastikas tattoos or shaved heads. They are directors or VPs at companies whose names you would recognize in Austin, Dallas and Denver. They are some of the parents of the kids that your kids are friends with. You've sat next to them at little league games, maybe even laughed together at a (non-political) joke among the circle of dad's at the neighbor kid's birthday party.
  3. Takes South Austin's mom less than that.
  4. Peak Surly. Bravo.
  5. So funny how different areas are... different. In my part of rural Colorado, there were large amounts of MAGA/Trump stuff displayed everywhere in 2016 and 2020. Not nearly so much now. I still hope it means something.
  6. What's that?
  7. Yeah, that was quite the protest to stop the certification of the 2020 election. But worse than the protestors were the people who organized the whole event and incited people to riot in an attempt to stop the transfer of governance. Anyway, good on you for having those convictions, and I am sure they will help you make the appropriate decision of who to vote for in November given your core values.
  8. He's the capitol police officer that shot Ashlii Babbit.
  9. Dude, when Gronk gains sentience, we are all fucking doomed.
  10. So, you are a Michael Byrd fan, eh?
  11. Countdown to the estimable Mr P.Diddy running as a republican for New York's 13th congressional district.
  12. I wish Billy Duffy was my spirit animal.
  13. Thanks, a used Para might work at my price point. I've got an acoustic gig set up for Friday's Memorial Day through Labor Day, so putting together a minimal pedalboard for it, with Pigtronix Infinity 3 looper, a TC Helicon Mic Mechanic and some pre-amp pedal. Not much room for additional stuff, so ideally the preamp would have a reverb knob but I could perhaps add a mini reverb pedal if the preamp were small enough. The Nux Optima Air has the perfect feature set for me at a pretty cheap price, but I am not sure its worth a shit.
  14. Any recommendations on a pedal-based acoustic guitar preamp? The smaller the better?
  15. https://www.nme.com/news/music/robert-plant-and-david-gilmour-lend-support-to-steve-marriotts-children-in-battle-over-ai-music-with-estate-3755985 Robert Plant and David Gilmour have expressed their support for the children of Steve Marriott, who are currently in a battle with his estate over AI-generated music. The children of the late Humble Pie and Small Faces frontman are currently in a dispute with the singer’s estate to prevent the release of music made by artificial intelligence in his name.
  16. So what says the Surl on 12 strings? Acoustic or electric?
  17. Those duds wouldn't be complete without some Mexican pointy boots.
  18. I guess Joe Theismann will be voting for the good guys.
  19. I want to know about the open season on killing christians. Is there literally no bag limit?
  20. That the 2020 election was not stolen. You asked me how Biden got 80 million votes. Here was my response. So I'll ask you again, on what basis do you believe the 2020 election was stolen? Tell me how you arrived at that informed opinion, because Donald Trump is indicted and will be going on trial for his efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
