My life is any two random sounds create a beat which suggests a rhythm which forms a groove which becomes a tune which sings a song and we are flying in the clouds

#TrumpTrial 🧵starts HERE. #Trump #legal

Remember: I cannot reply while live-posting, so plz use NFL (Not For Laffy.. no hashtag) so I can skip your replies. THANK YOU.

Running a little late, so some preamble included here.

1/… Via Rupar: Trump wraps up his morning rant by attacking one of the prosecutors, Colangelo, which is a flagrant violation of his gag order

@GottaLaff

That actually violates the gag order as well and it's no business of Congresscritters to get involved in the legal proceeding of a private citizen and criminal defendant

@georgetakei You can take the white trash out of the trailer park, but...

Glad to see more Democrats, including fellow NJ Senator Cory Booker and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, join Sen. John Fetterman in calling for Sen. Bob Menendez to step down. Corruption can taint either party, though lately, it falls far more heavily on Republicans. The difference is that when Democratic officials do it, we hold them responsible and help push them out. The GOP….Well, George Santos is still in office, so no.

@georgetakei Menendez versus Sanchez is a study and example in political integrity

@georgetakei Highly unlikely to begin with but Airport food is massively overpriced anyway so that's really not an indicator of anything

I used to work with this cool lady and she would always take an interest in my songwriting. Every Monday, she’d ask how the weekend jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. The weird thing was, anytime I had something uploaded for her to listen to, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music” which is fair enough, but it always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making.

One day, I decided to write her a song that she’d enjoy.

Spotify and Apple Music were playing at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.

I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home on borrowed equipment. A mate I regularly jammed with did the vocals for me and when it was done, I uploaded it to my SoundCloud and gave her the link when I got to work.

She liked it.

The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. Even though the recording is rough, the focus on writing a song for one person with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, I think gave me a different perspective than when I was either writing purely for my own enjoyment, or simply going with some random song idea.

I’d love for you to listen to it.

@dgar I know a lot are comparing it to AC/DC and 'dad rock' (music about really bad jokes and long black socks with white t-shirts? anyway...) but I have to say that a lot of the vocal construction and some of the backing chord structure made me think very much of a strong raw and raunchy "Lithium Flower"

@LightningDuck@spoonie.community avatar

@dgar BTW - That was meant as a compliment, if it didn't come across. I didn't mean 'raunchy' as anything sexual but a vibe that's gritty, etc...

The main character is Major Kusanagi, herself a proud and strong...if sometimes internal conflicted...women herself

is anyone else having a hard time sort of reacting to the indictment

its like we all knew it was coming but now we're in shock. just kinda floating here (and waiting for the sedition / treason charges where are those)

feels weird. probably just me

At least one report I saw made the point that lawsuits trying to disqualify Trump under the 14th need to wait for him to be found guilty first

@stevenbodzin @dannotdaniel @Urban_Hermit @staidwinnow

Like the Jan 6th criminal defendants today, I do imagine that there was some frustratingly slow process. That's sorta extreme. For a once and maybe potentially future president I think that the courts would not want to block him for running from a crime not legally proved to have been committed

The funnier part about "Ford Prefect" being "nicely inconspicuous" that gets lost in America is that the Ford Prefect was a model of car sold in Great Britain at the time

It might have been the whole commonwealth, but it was not sold in America so American audiences missed that joke
