It's bugged me since I was a kid. The stupidity in our culture. I feel like so many more people see it than when I was young. What's wrong with Gen X? I'm guessing it was breathing leaded gas fumes in our formative years. Sigh. Thanks Capitalism.

I didn't have any hand in creating current human society. No one even asked.

The job is you protect Our Democracy, and that was that was the mandate every Democrat in office right now was given when they were elected and I expect them to do it fucking right now. I don't want to hear that they waited too late. They must act now platform or not. We're paying them. Dammit.

I kind of think President Biden needs to use the powers given to him by the Supreme Court. Post haste.

Cheaters are going to cheat so long as no one arrests them for cheating, oh look, the Supreme Court just said it's not allowed to arrest him for his crimes. This needed to be day two priority, right after Covid and they waited all four years, and no one did a damn thing to fix the tainted court.

Was there a theme or just random trivia?

It's not democracy if every single election is a choice between the Democratic Party and Fascism. They had four years to drive the criminals out of Our government. I'm glad to help them try again, but I'm not sure they'll get it. Trump's still free. He and his cronies don't play by the rules.

My brain went from Anne Murray (Snowbird) to @tmbg.bsky.social (Sleeping in the Flowers) to the end theme of Way of the Househusband (Kiwami Meoto Kaidou Performed by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai Written by Osawa Atsushi). Now, it's going to bed.

😳 That list of losses is horrifying. We've lost so much life and so many rights to this man, why is that FREEDOM? How is he permitted to run for President? Why isn't he rotting in prison already? I'm soooooo tired. Why doesn't someone with power in this county do something to stop this travesty?

I thought there was a system for when a branch of our government was being shady. Honor the contract, or it's time for a Constitutional Convention. Start from scratch.

It's great that President Biden Dissents from the Courts' absurd ruling, but he and Congress need to use their powers to stop Justices who won't recuse themselves due to a conflict of interest. It's nonsense that any judge would sit on a case involving the person who gave them the job.

I think it's part of the flow, I might have a rational for a certain part or instrumental. I'll fiddle with theory sometime, but ultimately each part gets worked until it just sounds "right." I wish I understood where it comes from. How is the silent part of my brain is making these decisions?

Why? I don't know, and though most of the time it feels childish and silly, yet when I can work on it, I feel that flow feeling. I'm excited by my improved skill at coming up with parts, and how the arrangements are coming together.

I've been at it for a couple years now. I can't tell you why I chose the songs I did, they all just seemed right, though a few have changed since I started. I thought for a while I'd keep the track number lower, but it just kept climbing.

It's the same with music. After I finished my last album, I said to myself, albums are no longer the thing, it'll be better if I just work on a song at a time. Singles. I did a couple, but as I finished the second, I'd started a new song and something on me said, make your white album.

The placement of the pieces though, those choices were like an instinct, like getting the answer to an algebra problem, but skipping over the steps. I moved everything until it looked "right".

Isn't it weird how we decide to make something? Like one day I decided to make a collage and I don't know why? I made several for a while there. After the first couple they had themes for the must part, choosing a theme was often practical, one could follow the logic.

Justices with a conflict of interest have refused to recuse themselves, why are the still allowed to remain on the Court. Do we have no rules at all?

Justices with a conflict of interest must not be allowed to remain on the Court. This is some bullshit.

I'm glad she's saying something, I hope someone is listening who can do something to stop it. Justices are supposed to recuse themselves when they have a conflict of interest, why is no one with any power doing something to force them to do their sworn duty. Don't we have checks and balances? 😔
