Seems to be a good argument for founders to avoid building anything truly world-changing, since the government could just come and take it away because it's "too important".

Just a quick moment of thanks to Castle Face & No Quarter for their respective Laddio Bolocko LP box sets. Essential listening.

Hmm, well, you should know! πŸ˜‚ Maybe Grawer knows where the recording is. Time for a new KFJC compilation release!

Good point. I have a DVD of the Seattle one! I recorded our set in SF but I don’t think I recorded any others. It’s surprising there wasn’t a full one done.

Haha with that lineup I’m certain we were not the draw!

I'm getting Paylocity emails for someone else, and while they may say "This email is only for the person(s) addressed," that doesn't help much when I can find absolutely no way to inform Paylocity about the issue. @paylocity.bsky.social any help?

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY
WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET.
MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS
YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.

DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING."

DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.

TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
"WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON."

NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.

PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.

UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE
IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS.

STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM."
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.

YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO
"HEAL THE LAND"
IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.

THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.

THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.

IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD.

GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Also, it's very easy to completely ignore crypto, whereas the forced intrusion of AI into everything is impossible to ignore.

Thanks PG&E I didn’t really want electricity tonight anyway. No, I’m lying. Stop screwing up please.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Not to mention that "opting out" is not how copyright law works. Good luck to them in court.

Yeah that’s a given. After all, when we’ve printed books ourselves and distributed through Ingram in the past it’s not that different a calculation.

Looked into print-on-demand using IngramSpark, to avoid Amazon. Sadly if you design your own book and upload PDFs for interior+cover, you CANNOT SEE ANY PREVIEW without submitting it & waiting days for an eProof between every change. Say what?? That's absurd. So, nope.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

Whether it's John F. Kennedy saving thousands of children's lives by founding the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ending thousands of children's lives by limiting access to vaccines, both Kennedys impacted children's health.

Quick note for studio folks that while the Audix A150 headphones sound great and are very comfortable, the ear cups are not replaceable and start to fall apart very quickly. Can’t recommend them at this point especially at this price.

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

If I may, I'd like to gently note the irony of using Substack -- a company with awful policies -- to publish this. Please consider an alternative; I'd be interested to read this but I boycott Substack. I understand the pain of switching, though, so not finger pointing, just noting it.

This whole thread is fantastic. In the first-ever issue of @typebarmagazine.bsky.social, we had @simonm223.bsky.social come to a similar conclusion and everyone went berserk lol

Hey - if you're creating something yourself, be it a wood carving, a sewing project, a painting, a 3D model, a music piece, a clay sculpture, or anything else:

I'm proud of you. Keep going. You've got this. Don't listen to the bad voice; listen to mine. You're important. Keep at it. Head high.
