heavy coding today, so digging on some melancholic ambient/techno while i work. usually it stays in the background, but this popped up and I had to stop what i was doing and turn it up. found some greatness starting at around the 1:40 mark.

wow. not Karen Carpenter but reminds me of her luxurious contralto.

it's "No-One in the World" by Locust.

#Texas National Guard said that since the #SCOTUS ruling, they've been continuing to add razor wire to the border. The ruling doesn't prevent the addition, it only gives Feds the right to cut through it. Texass is appealing the ruling of course.

Texass needs an ass kicking. Razor wire is horrific both for humans and for wildlife. Pure cruelty.

The usual campaign and election coverage is not suited to navigating it, fails to appreciate the seriousness of the moment, reinforces and celebrates Trump’s worst tendencies, and leaves voters ill-informed and under the illusion that this is somehow all normal.

Parsing Trump’s margin of victory in New Hampshire is absurdism. As my colleague Josh Marshall put it yesterday: “We’re talking about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin when there actually is no pin.”

I should confess that I have no real idea how to cover a presidential campaign where the nominee is a former president who auto-couped, faces criminal indictments in four jurisdictions, promises to abuse the powers of the office he seeks to exact retribution against his perceived enemies, has no real policy interests or platform, and is bent on strongman rule if re-elected.

This is uncharted territory.
