#introduction

Hello new server! I’m a musician/artist in London, UK. The most recent time I had to describe what I do I said it was ‘acoustic and electronic improvised music, experimental composition, and DIY publishing.’

I improvise on baritone saxophone or live electronics, and my band Sloth Racket has been together since 2015. I make zines as tools for improvised performance, co-run the Luminous label, have been known to organise gigs, and lead the City University Experimental Ensemble.

My friend made https://amtrack.live/ and it's neat!

If you take Amtrak and want info on train status/delays, it's annoying that the official Amtrak website is slow to load & doesn't have train status perma-URLs to bookmark/share. https://railrat.net/ is pretty good but has ads. amtrack.live is faster & has no ads.

The D.C. Bar's board of Professional Responsibility recommended Rudy Giuliani be disbarred. Significantly, to me, they mention his effort to get election results in PA thrown out.

This is significant to me because much of my family live in PA and in 2020 they each worked methodically registering friends and family, and getting people to the polls.

it's literally their votes that he thought should just be thrown away. I take attempts to mess with my dear elderly mother voting PERSONALLY.

Rich people like the Tesla baby keep saying "if it can happen to Trump, it can happen to you." What they really mean is it can happen to them. The rest of us knew it could happen to us long before Trump got indicted. They are just scared now.

One of these is not like the others.

I just want us all to take a moment and reflect that it has been a couple of women that brought you this at great personal cost.

Of all the things that could bring down Trump, it has been a couple of stubborn women he felt entitled to that did it.

All of this "Democrats should worry about tit for tat" is beyond hypocritical. Democrats did not do tit-for-tat against GWB after the ginned up Clinton Impeachment. Democrats didn't do it to Trump after GOP tried the same thing with Obama nor when they refused to support legislation they normally would under Obama. Trump already tried to make the US AG and DOJ his personal law firm. He directly interfered with investigations against cronies and his family. Meanwhile Democratic congressional members and the Biden's own son are under active investigation and criminal cases for stuff that was shady as fuck, in the case of Menedez, or wouldn't normally have gone this far in the case of some of Hunter's charges. Republicans were already going to use these things without the pretense they are presenting here because one of their own was finally held to account. #uspoli #rant

This figures.

Peter Thiel is exactly the sort of lunatic billionaire who fantasizes about dressing up in rubber fetish gear and beating up poor people at night.

Imagine for a moment what the news would sound like if the Democratic nominee for president was a convicted rapist and guilty of 34 cases of fraud.

Now pay attention to how the news discusses Trump in the coming days and ask yourself why it’s different.

When deciding what sentence to impose on a convicted #felon in New York State, does the judge take into consideration the defendant’s contrition or lack thereof? Does anyone know?

Asking for no particular reason.

tristansnell, 13 days ago to random

The Manhattan DA’s office earned this win. This is not over yet — there will be appeals — but they’ve followed the playbook for how to beat Trump. Be bold. Ignore his distractions. Focus on your case. Grind it out.

This is the way to take down Trump.

Not gonna lie, I'm enjoying Convict the MFer more than I enjoyed Impeach the MFer

Accountability is pretty satisfying.
