Grass

My country is burning and there is nothing I can do. I feel powerless. I feel impotent. Our neighbors are being murdered in the streets for the crime of having the wrong color skin, more neighbors are dying of a plague that should be simple to avoid but isn’t because so many of my neighbors feel that their comfort is more important than other people’s lives.

I need to feel like I have control over something or else I’ll loose my mind. The grass. I have control over the grass. It’s way too long so I’m cutting it all even though doing so makes my back hurt like you wouldn’t believe.

It is an absolutely gorgeous day here in this place that used to be called America.

Widget Hope

The United States is literally crumbling around us. Americans are being murdered in the streets by law enforcement officials who have sworn to protect them, and the so called president is pledging to sic the military on those who speak out against it.

And yet there are glimpses of hope buried in the chaos. Americans have flown into space on American vehicles for the first time in a decade.

And earlier today the WordPress widget on my iPhone did this:

Attention all planets of the solar federation…

We have assumed control…

We have assumed control…

We have assumed control.

May Music: Finished

Well, February, March, April, and May all have 10 song RPM Challenge style recording projects (February and April actually are officially RPM Challenges) that were all finished on the 29th day of the month.

May has 11 songs. I just finished mixing the last two.

Is it good?

Nope.

Do I care?

Nope.

White House Lockdown

I am trying to find live video coverage of this but I can’t (other than the typical trump cult youtube channels). Apparently a crowd of people protesting the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis gathered outside of The White House tonight. The reports were that the Secret Service instituted the lockdown. I saw a tweet a minute ago from a reporter who was stuck inside The White House grounds stating the lockdown has actually been lifted.

Yesterday… or this morning… whenever it was, the fascist in chief, cheetolini tweeted that the military was ready to stand with Minnesota, and “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

The fucking president of the fucking united fucking states said that. The nazi in chief. The racist fuck in chief. The fascist in chief. He said that the military was ready to start shooting US citizens.

Of course he’s trying to spin that tonight because he’s a liar and is incapable of speaking (or tweeting) words that aren’t either evil bile or flat out lies.

I don’t condone violence. Ever. But you people out in the streets. I get it. Just be safe. Don’t forget about COVID-19. Don’t be like those fucking trump cultists and ignore the pandemic.

Sick of This Shit

Everything going on in Minnesota. I tried to watch the video but I couldn’t. The behavior of those cops was just too evil for me. Too disgusting. How they weren’t arrested on the spot is beyond me. It’s evil. Pure and simple. Oh, they were fired. Yippy frickin hooray. I just read that the owner of the offending knee was finally arrested. I don’t have any verification for that. He better have been, and all of the other cops who are accomplices to the murder need to be arrested too. Arrested, arraigned, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a very long time in a cage.

And the shit stain in the white house. I can’t deal with this anymore. I can’t deal with evil like this anymore. It’s too much for me.

George Floyd.

Slow Motion

I feel like the universe is moving in slow motion tonight. I stayed logged in to work to monitor something. I’m not actually working, I just want to keep an eye on things until it finishes. Three hours past quittin’ time and counting. Come on, go faster.

As noted in the previous post, I am setting up a new MacBook Pro. I loaded up the most recent backup from my old MacBook Pro (from about 5:00 this evening) and it took hours and hours to finish. Once I finally got it up and running it prompted me to take a MacOS update. Ugh. 42 minutes still to go…..

Slow…. Motion….
