If we continue to throw people in jail for nonviolent offenses it will only exacerbate the prevalence of and undermine the mutual desire to prevent serious violent crime.

I lived in Florida most of my life and spent several years residing in North Carolina as well until moving to Portland in 2016 after a bad year that convinced me that staying in the South would kill me one day. Corona shows my intuition was correct. So glad I left when I did.

Imagine being concerned about the rise of socialism in a country that only tries to implode any socialist programs that help people while also openly crushing unions and making life hell for most workers. I think this "threat" that they speak of is already very much neutralized.

Those "endless acts of violence" (aka graffiti) against the Portland fed courthouse are presently being cleansed away with pressure washer and solvents. It's so obvious now that all those violations of civil rights and use of chemicals against citizens were totally justified.

Looking back at my formative years I'm pretty sure the main source of all my anxiety was never being sure about whether I was truly fucked or not but these days now that it's less ambiguous I can just take it easy and relax in my doom.

Gee I wonder why? It's almost as if all this bluster about violent leftist extremists was all just high level political chess for influencing the elections! https://t.co/sQI8Y0q8L4

Gee, I wonder why I didn't fare better in a system like capitalism where sociopaths and psychopaths typically thrive? There must be something wrong with me. 🤔💸

Spotify CEO's advice is the pro musician's modern day equivalent of having a corporate label manager that is always compromising your artistic integrity, pressuring you to release unnecessary live albums and licensing your music for toothpaste commercials to make them more money.

I hope every state that is subject to this invasion of racist shock troops sues the shit out of the federal government. The constitutional violations that were signed into law after 9/11 were NEVER supposed to be used by a loser president to win elections but here we are! #repeal

Cost of protest's damage to the fed properties is $50,000 and maybe $75,000 for Portland facilities. Portland has spent $7+ MILLION in overtime and you know the feds will spend even more. Thus the cost of forces is at least 100 times the cost of any damage from the protests.

I guess Trump's traitor troops failed to incite the Reichstag moment they wanted in Portland and are moving on to Seattle and other target cities. What a pathetic and insulting display of brutality. Stay safe out there people!

@MollyArmour: Hello friends! I’m your neighborhood criminal defense attorney, here w/ some friendly advice. If you’re arrested, grabbed, or stopped by police or fed law enforcement . . . Say: “I’m going to remain SILENT, and I want to speak with a LAWYER.” Then — actually remain silent.

@Elias_Error It's funny you should mention that. I have had this site bookmarked since the 90's and it sounds pretty similar to what you're describing. I remember originally learning about memetics a couple decades ago from this page: https://t.co/e2mvltjCFQ

@Elias_Error It's all good. I've been in that headspace a lot because making a track blurs the line between writing and mixing when you're going for certain concepts. I just treat it like a process now and make mental notes for later changes as I go. Always smart to get out of your own way.

@Elias_Error Sometimes you just need to give your ears a rest to get a fresh perspective on the mix. That's why I try not to record and mix in the same session.

Plugins lack the phantoms of analog that give vintage gear their charm but since I don't have enough space or cash for the real stuff and can effortlessly learn how to program it all virtually they're still pretty fun and useful for my studio factory. 🎵🎹🏭

Get yourself unfucked. Move to Portland. Don't buy a loft. Start a modular night. Find 6 or 7 comrades. Eat trash with them. Perform at drag shows. Graffiti. Smoke weed. Listen to nu metal. Start some kinda CBD company.
