A reset, and some housekeeping. The move to hosted Ghost uncovered some irregularities to work through.

This is not what I wanted to write about today, but I guess we're gonna have to go there.

These Fucking Guys: They seems shocked that their vaunted, SERIOUS party has become infested with Nazi's. I swear, they are some dumb fuckers for all their degrees and shit.
Music
A new find, Jazz Sabbath bends genre's melding the genius of Ozzy and Tony Iommi into a small jazz combo, providing ample room for tonal exploration.
Tech
It seems that the powers that be in tech are pivoting from their addiction to crypto scams, to just outright gambling, with the rise of Fanduel/DraftKings, and their battle with Polymarket and Kalshi. We, the users will continue to get fleeced by these ghouls

Needing a quick distraction, the DoJ sloppily dropped almost 3.5M files and documents from the Epstein trove. It's not all of it, but it will drive a lot of news cycles.
Why do farmers vote Republican? Is it a kinship, a belief in hardy conservative values? Nah, it's because Republicans give them more $$$
It may seem like what we are experiencing is unprecedented, but it isn't. The temperance movement culminating in Prohibition is remarkably analogous to what we are experiencing today.
What a fucking shitty day to be alive in America. And for once I am not pissed at French after reading him, but at what he wrote (that is sadly true). We are well and truly fucked...

A killer new guitar, a bit out of my comfort zone, but damn, is it amazing.
It has become exhausting to just exist with all the fuckery happening. But last week something good did come out of the Trumpian chaos.
