And Porch Mud!

And.... action.
Some BTS shots from the new Porch Mud video shoot in West Plains MO. With James "Zimmerscope" Zimmerman, Matt "Catnip Cartel" Larson, Anthony "Trashpandia" Mathenia and Todd "West Plains Underground" Goolsby.
Also (and I know this is petty but I don't care)
*too
Hey, look, I made the paper!

Still posting about the relevant issues of the day, I see.
Additionally, dumbass KRock said "Like most people, I didn't understand any of it."
Technically, he is correct. Globally "most people" don't speak Spanish. It is also true that globally "most people" don't speak English either so they are (fortunately) unable to understand his shitty lyrics.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl had 135M viewers.
Kid Rock had 6M for his "alternative" show.
KRock said he felt sorry for Bunny because the NFL had "[put] him that position ... poor guy."
The "poor guy" had 129M more viewers and on Spotify, Bunny has 80M more monthly listeners than KRock.
Poor guy.
Not to disagree with Joe here but, actually, we ARE a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We ARE a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are a nation that tramples the 4th amendment, and others. We ARE. We need to change.
I run a small indie record label and I am exploring how people are responding to AI-generated synthetic music like the song above. I'm not here to judge taste, just polling: 1) Are you aware that this was not made by humans? 2) Does it matter to you one way or the other? 3) Why or why not? Thanks!
I honestly don't know how normal little people like myself can do anything to materially change this situation and it is driving me crazy.
Historically countries that have reached this point wind up being invaded by civilized countries and having their mad despot deposed if they don't manage to do it themselves. Is that the only remaining option?
Decent humans (including ACTUAL Conservative Christians who know what those two words actually mean, not MAGA cult members) need to unify and evict this cancer, but how? 25th Amendment? Will it have to come to war with NATO before that happens? When does the madness and blood in the streets stop?
So what actual options remain? The Fascist Party COULD decide to dethrone their own king by impeaching him (and convicting) for any of the hundreds of illegal things he has done. But they won't. Either because they are evil or cowardly or brainwashed.
Voting is almost certainly non-functional. Like in any fake "democracy" the Fascist and his party of sycophants will somehow magically win all the elections when 2/3rds of the country is against them. Protests don't matter because they just create photo-ops for propaganda.
Legitimate question.
How can we stop this insanity? There has been a fascist coup, an illegitimate and Constitutionally ineligible criminal has been installed as a de facto emperor, multiple impeachments failed, the courts failed, the checks and balances failed. Democratic "norms" are a irrelevant.
I love you, my son. That's all I gotta say right now. We live in a world gone mad, but I love you.
They understand, they just don't care. Laws mean nothing to thugs and criminals.
Yeah, well I can't believe that the Minneapolis of 2025 and the Minneapolis of 1995 are the same city but here we are.
The New York Times states it plainly in display type:
Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
What happened in Minneapolis was murder
MINNEAPOLISβ¦.
We now have more in common now with Germany in 1936 or Putin's Russia or North Korea than anything else since literally our laws no longer matter at all. How do you fight when the deck is stacked, the game is fixed and the opposition cheats at everything?
We allowed an ineligible felon to take over the reins of power and in doing so we stopped living in a civil society of laws and democracy and entered a post-American fascist state. I cannot think of any action of resistance that has even the potential for being effective.
I wish I could figure out how to actually fight. The law doesn't matter, voting doesn't matter, protesting doesn't matter, the government is broken, the checks and balances failed, all the money and power rests in the hands of lawless people. How do you even fight that?
#twitler is an illegitimate "president" (constitutionally ineligible due to insurrection) so everything he does in office is illegal and should be voided the second he is gone. When you put a felon in charge crimes will take place: every MAGA voter is an accomplice and none of this is a surprise
I love you man. Happy new year?
