Before discussing politics, I like to administer The Test.

The Test is simple, and should be easy to pass:

"Which is more important:
1. Human Rights
2. Property Rights"

There is one unambiguous, simple, correct answer. If they fail The Test, I don't talk politics with them.

I just made this my phone wallpaper and lock screen in the event I do get hassled by CBP agents when go thru Immigration/Customs in HOU this afternoon.

And I’ve made the five-clicks-on-the-side-button action a muscle memory.

Do it if you’re going out today.

Still haven’t figured out a good way to connect with other creatives and people interested in electronic music of all sorts. I’ve almost completely severed myself from commercial social media; I’ve deleted InstaGram becauce Mark Fuckerberg is a fascist. So without meta, Bluesky is the last bastion of commercial bullshit.
