Starting this Thursday March 12 I'll be doing a monthly punky DJ night at @apolloexos.bsky.social
No cover, drinks at the bar, and records you can buy!

About to play some punk rock on the radio ...

Fact-Checking Trump’s Justifications for Attacking Iran

LIES! “three of his key claims — blaming Iran for a terrorist attack in 2000, characterizing its nuclear program as destroyed by previous American strikes, and warning that its weapons could soon reach the United States — were inaccurate.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

we haven't even been properly lied to about why we're doing this

Man-Thing has some goons in hand, to rescue a maiden.

Man-Thing’s giving Al E. Gator the business, to protect a maiden.

There was a giant-size Man-Thing adorning the covers of Monsters Unleashed 3 (1973) and 5 (1974).

I'm back in DJing punk junk on this weekends 2/28 Sonic Reducer on KEXP -
I'm hungry for REQUESTS!
What punk should I play?

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Washington State folks -
An elections going on - my ballot had 2 school funding measures on it, which I support.
Please VOTE!
The trumpys are trying to make it harder to vote - hell, they'd prefer our right to vote was gone completely.
It's easy to do - it's a bare minimum action a citizen can take.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so sports are canceled," is the point we have reached.

Multiple citizen reports today of ICE deployed near Climate Pledge Arena, staying at the Stay Pineapple hotel at 5th and Bell.

If you're planning on going to the Torrent game tonight and you've got a higher risk profile (i.e., if you're brown), be extremely vigilant.

You're paying for this.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.

Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

Wonder Woman defends herself from a Nazi as portrayed by Lynda Carter.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention The detained tribal members are experiencing homelessness and living under a bridge in Minneapolis.

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

“Let me repeat: the Department of Homeland Security is lying to the American ppl about a shooting committed by one of their agents in broad daylight. The Trump Administration and Secretary Kristi Noem are treating U.S. citizens as disposable casualties in their lawless mass deportation campaign …”

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

12/31 9pm Sonic Reducer at the Laser Dome.
I programmed 22 songs for an hour long show.
Starting with the Buzzcocks and ending with the Damned, and a bunch of old and new stuff.

This is gonna be fun!

I just watched Berlin Express for the first time last night - not classic Ryan ( he's the hero not the villain) but a solid post WWII thriller and worth a watch
