I am finally making time to install #Ubuntu on my private desktop computer as #Windows10 support ends in October and I really don't want #Windows11 at home. It's enough for me to use it at work.

Just found out my kids’ schools say the pledge of allegiance every day, including the words “under god” which both my spouse and I were sure had been removed. Why did we think that? I can’t find any evidence it ever happened. Anyone else remember anything about this?

Just released a new single this morning, everyone: "SHE BELIEVES" is available in all streaming platforms (and #Bandcamp).

It's a revolutionary act to opt out of a culture that's toxic.
Capitalism's never-ending requirements grind us all into dust.
This song is a reminder that we don't have to accept what is.
