I have a new Project 2025 resource. Google has a thing called NotebookLM which lets you load books and then query them. I loaded all 30 chapters of Project 2025 into a Google NotebookLM. You can ask questions and it’ll answer based on the imported documents. It’s interesting that it also generates followup questions.

If you would like access to my toy, please PM me your email and I’ll send you an invite.

Here is what it responded to me when I asked “what about abortion?” This is a copy/paste, except I substituted “the sources” for “Project 2025” and fixed the verb tense. In the original page, each bullet point has links which include which chapter this came from.

=======================================*

Project 2025 discusses the topic of abortion extensively, primarily advocating for a reduction in abortions. Here are some key points made in the sources regarding abortion:

â Abortion is not healthcare. Project 2025 emphasizes this point repeatedly, advocating for the view that abortion intentionally ends a human life and should not be classified as healthcare.

â The government should not fund abortions. Project 2025 strongly opposes the use of taxpayer money for abortions. This includes opposing abortion travel funding, defunding Planned Parenthood, and auditing for Hyde Amendment compliance.

â Chemical abortions pose a significant threat. Project 2025 highlights the increasing rate of chemical abortions and express concerns about their safety, claiming they have a higher complication rate than surgical abortions. They argue for the reversal of FDA approval for chemical abortion drugs and advocate for stricter regulations regarding their distribution, particularly through mail-order.

â Alternatives to abortion should be promoted. Project 2025 suggests promoting adoption and providing educational information about the importance of marriage and family at Title X family planning clinics as alternatives to abortion.

â Research using fetal tissue from abortions is deemed immoral and unnecessary. Project 2025 advocates for prohibiting such research and promoting ethical alternatives.

â Conscience rights of healthcare providers are paramount. Project 2025 stresses that healthcare providers should not be forced to participate in abortions if it violates their conscience or religious beliefs.

Project 2025 calls for a multi-pronged approach to reduce abortions, encompassing legislation, policy changes, and messaging campaigns. The information presented in the sources reflects a specific ideological perspective that views abortion as morally wrong and seeks to significantly restrict its access.

I’ve been watching cartoons lately. Got introduced to Hazbin Hotel first, which is on Prime. Later heard about Helluvaboss (season 2 now available on Youtube).

Both stories take place (mostly) in Hell. Both shows seem to attempt to be at least a little bit true to the original material. The animation is reminiscent of Invader Zim and the voice actor that did Zim appears in Helluvaboss, and the actress who voiced Mirabel in “Encanto” performs on Hazbin Hotel. Kesha played in one episode, I’m sure i’m missing some other guest parts.

An intriguing part of Helluvaboss is the use of Goetic beings as cartoon characters. So far we have met Stolas (a main character who looks strikingly like the classical woodcuts adapted for a modern animation), Asmodeus and Beelzebub. Some reading this might find this a bit troubling: they use the real sigils in the show as design elements.

Another plot point I find intriguing is the demons have a grimoire that they use to access the mortal world. Considering a grimoire is usually used for a person to access spirit things, it’s an interesting extension of the idea.

SEASON ONE BEGINS! When the I.M.P get hired to take out a heroic homicide survivor, things sure do happen. STYLISH OCCULT, a new world of Helluva Boss apparel and culture is here ► http://stylishoccult.com/

54 years ago…. And now.

Written by Chicago trombone player James Pankow and keyboard player Robert Lamm, this song is about the 1968 Democratic National Convention in the group’s hometown of Chicago, where police beat antiwar demonstrators outside the venue in what was later deemed a “police riot.” The violence at the convention was big news, energizing the protest movement. CBS reporter Mike Wallace was famously caught in the fray, getting punched in the face inside the convention hall.

The song starts with a 57-section called “Prologue, August 29, 1968,” which is audio of the crowd at the convention chanting, “The whole world is watching.” This chant returns in the middle of the song. Robert Lamm and Peter Cetera shared lead vocals on this track. August 29, 1968 was the last night of the Democratic National Convention and saw Hubert Humphrey secure the nomination. The famous chant took place a day earlier. This is a track from the first Chicago album, which is titled after the name they were using at the time, Chicago Transit Authority. The group was much more politically inclined at this time, as were many musical acts. songfacts.com

This song is partially blocked on Youtube in Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Syria.

The asymmetry of the presentations during the debate were striking. My favorite was when 45 was asked about education policy, he goes into a rant about something completely unrelated, and the moderator repeated the question. Joe’s performace was kind of messed up, no doubt. 45 has been practicing his technique a lot more, over the last 4 years because what the hell else is he gonna do with his time?

I’m familiar with the technique, where there isn’t any real way to respond so eventually you just shut down. It’s not that much different than a DOS (denial of service) attack when you send so many requests to a computer system that it eventually runs out of memory and just falls over for a bit.

I first heard this song on a cassette tape given to me by a workmate. The tape had belonged to his late sun. The tape had broken at some point, and the ends had been tied together (to someone who knows how to fix a cassette tape with scotch tape and an xacto blade, that was an abomination) The tape didn’t include the name of the album, so it was a few years before I found the record it came from.

I was about to post the static album image version, but on a whim decided to look, and of course someone made an animation for it.

https://youtu.be/gEsL493yyoI?si=VCdlg6nVOwMzTaDV

Okay. Backstory time.

I am a huge Frank Zappa fan. I have a few of his albums on CD. At one point, when I was a teenager, his song Watermelon in Easter Hay from his album Joe’s Garage was the most played song on my iPod. But Billy the Mountain is one of my favorite songs of his.

Now, after I got my first computer in late 2011, in April of 2012, I bought the (now discontinued) Toon Boom Studio 6 from Toon Boom. I wanted to make animation. Because even though I love making live action stuff and filming myself and all that, deep down, I’ll always want to be an animator.

So, after procuring Toon Boom Studio 6, I, like a fool, bit off more than I could chew with the first thing I wanted to animate being an animated music video of Frank Zappa’s song Billy the Mountain.

All 24 minutes of it.

I was in my early 20s, I wasn’t as smart, I was still figuring things out, leave me alone.

Well, naturally, I didn’t get as far as the first “Billy was a mountain” and I just gave up. However, you– that’s right, YOU– can still view what little I did manage to animate in one of my older videos titled “Animation Demo Reel 2012”.

https://youtu.be/1_mTJuDN3ec

Okay. Fast forward to the here and now and I have made a slight approximation of what I originally wanted to make all those years ago. It truly and genuinely was fun to make and I hope you like it. I don’t do very much drawing or animation nowadays, so I sincerely hope you watch this and like it. It means the world to me.

Terrified?! Time to Fight the Dictatorship

Trump and MAGA want you to quit. Get Over Your Fear. Harness Anger. Let’s Organize.

MALCOLM NANCE

JUL 3

In Common Sense, Thomas Pain wrote, âThese times that try men’s souls â¦â This statement reflects at least 81 million Americans’ feelings today. We are physically sick, bewildered, and despondent that American Democracy is ending without a fight. Donald Trump being held accountable led to a political backlash by a Supreme Court that decided they were officially the MAGA Court. Trump bragged that he bought the court and that they owed him; the threats, personal pressure, corruption, and conniving finally paid off. They not only ended every case against him, but they armed him with the tools to be the first successful American dictator.

To quote the brilliant Mel Brooks in the movie The Producers, âIt’s enough to make ya heave.â

For those who say, well, it can’t be all that bad. Please recount that in the movie Judgment at Nuremberg, Spencer Tracy played the Justice who had, on trial, the Nazi supreme court. That court had authorized Hitler to legitimately dehumanize Jews and imprison political enemies, which led to a war where 60 million people lost their lives. Every decision Hitler made was because the Supreme Court gave him the authority to do anything he wanted in Germany. Under German laws, they made it all legal. Not just burning 6 million Jews to death in ovens but also legally and quietly executing 300,000 Germans who had a physical disability, mental illness, or any character they felt was not Aryan enough. The completely legal order from Hitler, called Aktion T4, was sanctioned by the German Judiciary because they empowered Hitler to act as he saw fit in his official capacity as Reich Chancellor.

The US Supreme Court gave Donald Trump and any future president the same power. As long as it is official, it cannot be considered criminal. So now you can all call July 1, 2024, American Dictatorship Day.

Just as Hitler had been freed to do as he pleased by a judiciary that acted as the political execution squad of the Nazi party, so has America lost its judicial branch by fiat. Six unelected judges gave away American democracy; at least 70 million Americans cheered it on.

Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean contends that America no longer has a functioning Democracy. Why? Because we no longer have a functioning Supreme Court. He is right; the corrupt Roberts Court has completely and totally lost its legitimacy. No one apart from MAGA loyalists will ever trust it again.

America now has only two functioning branches of government, and they are teetering by a thread. Do not forget that, with the ruling, Donald Trump has absolute immunity for anything he does or says as President. Anything he says or orders, no matter how corrupt or treacherous, cannot be used as evidence against him in any proceeding. America is now essentially a dictatorship.

Embrace Anger

I am also certain you are most likely sick of the non-stop coverage that gives Trump’s insane rantings a pass. I feel you.

I want you to harness your fears, anxieties, shrouds of existential dread, and dark clouds of political doom and turn them into a singular focus: ANGER.

I want you to adopt a phrase from the Jedi Yoda not as a warning but as orders:

âFear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to Suffering.â

If you were like me, you are not just terrified; you are getting angry. Good. That’s what I want to see. I want to see you not just angry but ANGRY! Nothing comes to you in life until you have been adequately motivated to see the threats to your own survival. So, I want you to harness that anger, which we are going to turn into action and reveal our hatred of what has happened and arrange some political suffering for MAGA, and give it to them â¦ hard.

So, are you angry that America has changed from a democracy overnight?

Good BE ANGRY.

So, are you afraid you could be arrested for criticizing Trump?

Good BE ANGRY.

So, if you are upset that the America you know has just validated dictatorship and the courts you thought were moderate and fair are dangerous and corrupt?

Good BE ANGRY.

So, if you are worried that words and actions by a President cannot ever be used as evidence against them, but women who want birth control might be arrested as enemies of the state next year?

Good. BE ANGRY.

So, if you are frustrated, could Trump’s NY fraud trial, which resulted in his conviction on 34 felony counts, be vacated because the Supreme Court wrote the new ruling specifically to free him from every charge he was accused of?

Good. BE ANGRY.

So, if you are finding out the news media is utterly unfair to Democrats and call for Joe Biden to quit but ignore Trump’s Project 2025 and NEVER call for him to drop out?

Good. BE ANGRY.

Well, by now, you have picked up on the theme. For decades, the Republicans have been organizing to carry out their plans to change the face of America into a dictator-led autocracy, and that day has arrived.

Many of you were waiting for someone to arrive to save America. Some of you still think it will be Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Others believe it should be someone else, but here are the facts, Jack: No one is coming to save us. We are the Rescue party.

Embrace that because it will be helpful to remember the Democratic elite pundits who claimed insider information on what is good for the party, especially their breathless exhortations to get rid of Joe Biden. These are the same people who say dump the first black female vice president because they have determined she is not good enough. These are the same people who attacked Hillary Clinton. These are the same people that supported Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg over Joe Biden. These are the same people who constantly enable Donald Trump by assuring us he would never get too far. These are the same people who feel they make the decisions for the Democratic Party because they have a blog post or popular podcast or they sit on MSNBC and pontificate all day. Ignore these people. They are nothing more than media elite surrender monkeys. Remember, the only person coming to rescue us is ourselves. So, let’s organize.

For decades, I have studied how small groups of common citizens organized into effective teams can have a historic effect. After the 2016 election, small groups started forming using the Indivisible manual, which helped communities do outreach and assist in focusing their opposition. It had a good effect amongst the grassroots but was no more than a name. The Republicans had billionaires donating money to groups like Turning Point USA and Heritage Foundation, while liberals had â¦ Twitter? Even that has gone MAGA Republican as Elon Musk endorsed Trump. Every Democratic grassroots group was left to do whatever they could. There was and still is no central direction.

But I fear years of waiting for direction from a non-existent national leadership have made some indivisible groups weary. At the time of the 2017 Women’s Pussy March, many thought this would become a political powerhouse in America. It immediately fizzled out as individual groups vied against each other for donors, while Republicans set themselves to eliminating a woman’s right to choose. In 2023, many of our most motivated activists set themselves literally on fire for the free Palestine movement and swore to bring down the administration of Joe Biden. As we teeter at the end of American democracy, many activists still demand you boycott the vote or vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They are essentially trying to get you to elect Trump. They don’t realize that their heads will be on the chopping block first. Yes, the leopard will eat your face as well.

So, let me offer you some encouragement and some direction. We need everyone who is concerned to stand up and become a leader.

   Organize into groups of no more than five People. Let's call you something from the American Revolution, like The Committee of Five, which drafted the Declaration of Independence.

   Organize a Weekly Community Action.  Indivisible NY-19 (Upstate New York) had an event every Friday called Faso Friday.  They met outside the empty office of a lazy republican congressman and represented peacefully and with fun.  Take your Committee of Five, give it a cool ass name, and then meet up with flags, signs, and anger. SOMEWHERE YOU CAN BE SEEN.  Sounds like MAGA, right?  That's right!  Why should we let them steal American public discourse?  Show America you are ANGRY.

   Let's call our actions Freedom Friday: Freedom from Fear. Freedom from Dictatorship, and Freedom from Trump. As many of you Fivers get together, please protest, party, chant, and BE HEARD.

That’s it. That’s the baby step that will be seen and change the dynamic. MAGA thinks Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans are as weak and feeble as they make Joe Biden out to be â¦ they’re wrong. We are the proverbial Sleeping Giant.

It is time to embrace the anger and the hate for those who have brought this disaster upon America. Donald John Trump and his MAGA followers must be defeated resoundingly at the ballot box; They should never be allowed to show their faces in public again without being called out for embracing dictatorship. Trump is the living embodiment of a traitor to our Constitutional Republic. He engineered a Supreme Court that is loyal only to himself with a mission to keep him out of jail and grant him future powers to act as a dictator. This decision is not just unacceptable; it is reprehensible and disgusting.

So, you have a choice of how to express your anger. You can stay home and dread the future or get out and organize voter registration and pizza parties, drive people to the polls, and organize early voting phone banks. We do not want a Blue Tsunami this year; we want a Blue Ocean of votes. As Rev Al Sharpton says, âAre you going to be whining or winning?â I choose to win.

Now get the fuck to work.

My channel & my comedy are all about laughing at life. Hit subscribe to keep the fun going! Here you will find standup comedy, storytelling, voiceovers, and random stuff that makes me laugh. My comedy material is about parenting, marriage, relationships, family, aging “gracefully” and the humor of everyday life.

Despite the name, this seems to have come from the ZPZ tour about 2008 because it includes Terry Bozzio and Steve Vai (i expect that I’ll see Napoleon Murphy Brock soon because he was in that tour).

Most folks think of Vai as some kind of guitar deity, which is accurate, but not everyone knows that he was a graduate of the FZ Finishing School for Hot Musicians (my name).

My mom would have been 82 today. I rave that this is a cliche, but she was taken too early. She was ready to be a happy widow: got her sewing guilds, embroidery guilds, she was one of the nice ladies who make sure the flowers on the altar at church are always fresh and topical. I didn’t have much use for church by the time I learned this, but I honored her dedication to what mattered to her.

I didn’t always agree: in the mid 1970s, Mom took calls to counsel women against getting an abortion. I wasn’t allowed to pick up the phone on Thursday evenings because of this.

Mom invented “blinging your cubicle” before it was cool. She had a wicker chair in the corner for people to come and talk. She had a copy of “Yertle the Turtle” on her desk because she thought it typified the culture in her office. I ended up with “The Sneetches” on my desk and I’d tell anyone who’d liste about my mom and her Seuss cubicle decoration.

She was the glue that kept our family together, both locally as well as in her generation. As far as I am concerned, she was part of “healing” a rift in her family. It still has been scattered and distant, but she helped some folks find closure to old wounds.

She was endlessly creative. One year, for the office halloween party, she took a big piece of green fleece and made a costome where she was a football field. The following year, she was a pool table. There was another one but I can’t remember right now.

She could appreciate wit, even if it came from a 12 year old. We were shopping for a car, and in those days for reasons that i’m not gonna explain here, car dealers in the detroit area weren’t open in evenings or weekends. When you shopped, you either ordered your options or you picked one off the lot (the latter is MUCH more common now, I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone ordering a car custom in a lont time) so we kept going to car dealers to see the options. Jean, about 4 at the time, asked “why haven’t we gotten a new car yet?” and I said “it’s because we keep going to car dealers that are closed”. Mom said “that’s an astute observation”. Not “stop being a smartass”.

She got cancer when she was about 65 and spent the next 2-3 years in chemo and endless “studies” and finally they said that they were at the “keeping her comfortable” stage. She had made it clear that she didn’t want a bunch of flowers when she died. When I got there, she had just gotten her hospice bed. I looked around the room, there weren’t any flowers, so i went to the yard, picked some weeds and put them in a vase. Before the evening was done, I went to the store and bought a living flower, made sure she saw it. She was gone that night.

I broke my ankle in 2002 and she came out to visit me and help that first week, including footing the bill for the surgery I needed because I live in USA and that kind of thing isn’t always assured. We didn’t get out much, i was whacked out on pain killers a bunch of the time, but we had a lovely lunch at the Stanley Hotel the day before she went home. I never got to talk this out with her, but she knew she was coming to a house full of pot smokers and she came anyway. We had an extra room, and she’d go to sleep early and as soon as the door closed, the stuff came out. We didn’t do it in front of her.

I never got a “last conversation” with her where I acknowledged how much I loved her and i had no idea how much I would miss her. My fault, no question, but I do miss you, Mom, and I love you.

I’ve joined a number of groups on Facebook for weirdos of various kinds, and my feed is much more entertaining. Best part of this group is they post pictures of weird LPs from times gone by (“In Living Stereo”!) and you can usually find them on youtube.

I’ve been wanting to build my own Cajon or box drum for quite some time. This instrument is great to have around the house, especially if you’re a musician. I ended up making two Cajons, one of which I made a little bigger, and it’s amazing what a difference in the sound a few inches made. I like the sound of both. Hope this video helps you out and inspires you in making your own Cajon. Thanks for watching!
