  • it’s insane that in his decades-long career, no one has come remotely close to matching him

    There are surely plenty of other people out there who have similar humor & talent & charisma & intelligence & musical panache and are able to put it all together in brilliant art, but you know how the musical industry is rigged, weird Al slipped in during the late 1970’s at a fortuitous time before the music industry became rigged & proprietary. He is indeed a national treasure.

    There are billions of people all over the planet. Everyone has talents that most people will never see on a large scale via the media. Because the media is rigged & gatekeeper’ed these days.

    I for one used to inadvertently entertain my family as I went about the household chores by singing well-known tunes but substituting the words for what’s going on in our daily lives and we all found it hilarious. That was kinda weird al-esque, he’s so relatable, we all have our quirks & sense of humor and he taps into something that we can all relate to.



  • As someone who lives in a van/RV, my perspective is wondering how ICE might approach any of their targeted people who might happen to live in vans/RVs. I wonder if the targeted individuals could just keep moving and keep evading ICE. You can’t really forcefully enter a moving vehicle to kidnap the occupants, right?

    I suppose if the van/RV/whatever is parked or stopping for fuel or oil changes or vehicle maintenance or stopping to sleep or go to work to be able to afford to keep rolling, (can’t keep rolling forever) then ICE could get em in those vulnerable moments, but everything about ICE is disgustingly dystopian, terrifying, and unacceptable.
