Yeah, he’s definitely going to try and minimize his strokes this weekend.

The very first thing he says is the most damning.

He wanted to use the death penalty against the people who stood up to Trump’s fascist insurrection.

Dude got what he earned.

It’s so hard to get into it; I’d never played one before I picked it up either.

This is a good entry-level lute. I had wanted one for a while before I got mine, but I was worried about spending so much and having it be unplayable.

I fortunately talked to another musician who had one of these already and he sounded fantastic, so I decided to take the plunge. I’m glad I did! There’s nothing like playing period music on the actual instrument that would have been used (modern convenience like temperament aside) and reading from historical tabs.

I ran into the guy again about a month ago, and he has an incredible luthier-made theorbo that sounds amazing. Maybe I’ll get one of those some day lol!

Unlimited funding from billionaires helps a lot, too.

He’s considered a founder of TPUSA, but he was just a blowhard with a tiny face who could be a good mouthpiece for the worst people on earth.

I play the renaissance lute, which also uses tied frets. I just play in equal temperament because its easier and my ear isn’t that good. I’m merely an ambitious amateur though, maybe I’ll get into it one of these days.

Yup, they use wrapped gut frets. They’re moveable so that the musicians could adjust intonation in the period before equal temperament was invented.

I certainly see where you’re coming from; there’s a difference though.

Charlie Kirk was fighting to overturn the social contract; he didn’t think the country has to accommodate LGB (and especially T) folks, atheists, Muslims, leftists, single women, et cetera. Hell, he loved political violence directed against Democrats.

People who break the social contract should not be surprised when they lose its protection.

Exactly what I’d expect from the billionaire leech class.

I wonder what he thinks about a thirty-eight year old man dating a seventeen year old? Oh wait we know already.

Dude’s been fuckin’ gross for years, nobody should take moral advice from this pedo.

I play early music, and what we call a viol de gamba is a different thing; the viola is fretless and held under the chin like a violin, while the viol de gamba is a renaissance/baroque-era fretted instrument that is held between the legs and comes in treble, tenor, and bass sizes.

Savall plays the latter.

To further confuse the matter, there’s a renaissance-era instrument called the vielle that is played more like a modern violin or viola.

Recorders sound incredible in consort! I play the tenor myself. Glad to see another player of early music around here.

Lots of stuff from I Might Be Wrong by Radiohead. Like Spinning Plates, especially.

My favorite to play is the acoustic guitar, because it’s largely unchanged for a couple hundred years.

You don’t need to plug it in, just strum or pluck. It’s incredibly versatile, highly portable, and it sounds amazing.

My favorite thing to do is playing chord melodies. Basically, I’ll find chords to a song online and then play part of the chord and the melody on top of it. It’s a quick & dirty way to arrange an instrumental version, though I do like to sing and play too.

John Roberts stood in front of the firing squad.

His voice had a slight quaver. “Dammit, I don’t like it, but the president has every right to order my death— it’s the only way to have a true unitary executive.”

And to the staccato of gunfire Roberts died with a serene smile on his face; he knew that he did his duty to the end.

AI you say? Here’s 69 million dollars. Make it happen!

Guess there’s no way to know anything then, so we may as well have a blood sacrifice for the blood god!

Fuck it, let’s bring back gibbets too; that way people will know what happens when they get caught by some pseudoscience quack with a chip on their shoulder and an army of meatheads who get violent when their authority is questioned.

I think people’s favorite is whatever they grew up with.

I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 as a kid. Give me the stompybois.

Isn’t this the guy who could have whipped up support to convict Trump of his impeachment, therefore barring him from running again?

Mitch McConnell can get bent. He did this.

Fascist bootlickers: “We need to increase our population of workers!”

Regular people: “How about this group of people who came thousands of miles to live here and work hard?”

Fascist bootlickers: “Ew, gross. They’re not even white.”

It’s things like this that make me glad that our justice system is perfect, and we’ve never executed an innocent person.
