j reacts to the term "ableism" as the producerist newspeak that it really is
let's all think about how stupid the concept of ableism is, for a second.
obviously, people with disabilities are as able to perform tasks as anybody else. shame on you for thinking that a disabled person may have some deficit of ability!
it's actually really scary, due to the producerism underlying it. it's an algorithm to discard the concept of being disabled and remove state aid for people with disabilities. after all, if disabled people are just as able as the rest of us (don't say they aren't! that's ableist!) then why should they get state aid?
disabled people can pull themselves up by their own boot straps just as well as anybody else, you ableist pig!
you need to be very careful with this orwellian shit. it's not just some dumb kids. it's organized. and, the ends are pretty shitty.

this is actually incredibly useful for me.
the venue is located on the campus of wayne state university and was rebranded as an electronic club in order to try and tap into the local student market. what was once the go to punk/rock bar in the city was reduced to pushing "sweaty student thursdays" and letting females in without cover. it was a state of affairs that was widely lamented. and, i don't think they ever really found the audience they wanted.
see, the magic stick was always an alternative rock or punk bar. it thrived on it's ability to take in acts that were a little different. it's a carefully built, niche audience. i think that had they approached electronic music with the same mindset, they could have found the comparable niche market. instead, they just saturated a market in a way that didn't make any sense. it wasn't upscale, so it couldn't push the douchey, bourgeois edm shit. nor was it underground enough to throw raves - there would be cops there every night. but, if medium sized artsy techno acts like squarepusher or autechre or aphex twin were to swing through here, this would be the place they should play. they got noisia (although noisia's gone to shit recently). i noticed some other stuff like tycho picked the royal oak. in the end, they didn't cultivate the right market - and detroit just doesn't seem to have it, anyways. i'd have jumped at an idm bar, rather than another edm one.
what i'm getting at is that the tweet is a good excuse to retreat back to what was. i'm not pushing a conspiracy theory; i don't know know the story. but i don't think the management is racist.
the conversion left downtown detroit without a proper small to medium sized rock venue. it was closed quickly when i moved here, but i managed to catch boris, cloud nothings, cymbals eat guitars and bob mould there. boris is through here again this week with earth and skipped detroit altogether. some of this would otherwise have moved to ferndale or a new venue opened in mexicantown - both of which are a lot harder for me to get back and forth from. the magic stick is a relatively safe half hour walk from the tunnel. so, if it reasserts itself that is useful to me regarding transit options...

j reacts to the confusion over who has greater potential appeal to white identity voters
again: let's rewind a second.
you claim that voters in the middle of america want to vote for the person that they see themselves most in. it's not exactly identity politics in the "intersectionality" sense, but it's the broad idea.
and, then you claim they'll vote for the north-eastern liberal (donald trump) instead of the midwestern conservative (hillary clinton)? how does that make any sense?
this is why missouri is going to be so important. virginia is a different scenario: you've got expanding urbanization, migration south and just general....colonization? it's kind of the truth of it. virginia has been colonized by the north. but, missouri is actually deindustrializing..
she can't pull this off everywhere. but, that cluster of states around missouri is the real wild card. i don't think she'll win arkansas, but it very well might be closer than north carolina. i don't think she'll win tennessee, but she'll probably lose it by less than trump loses pennsylvania by. in the case of some extraneous circumstance - the rise of gary johnson? - those states are within striking distance.
i know that the media has been pushing the message for a long time now, but the reality is that hillary clinton is not a northeastern liberal. if she was a northeastern liberal, like bernie sanders, i wouldn't be so revolted by her. rather, she is a midwestern conservative. and, if the midwest really does prioritize their own over outsiders, she will be competitive there - even if missouri is the only state she can actually win.
if she swoops down there and pulls out the drawl...
who are they going to see themselves in more? the distant billionaire from new york with the very dominant foreign accent, married to some european floozy, or the woman they know well through her husband that talks and sounds and acts like them?
your argument just doesn't make any sense.
we've only had one poll from kentucky so far, back in june, but clinton was actually beating trump by 3 points. that's not so crazy to me...
the only poll in mississippi was in march, but trump was only up by 3. again: not so crazy.

and, could johnson split the vote in georgia?
perot did in '92.

that's no fair! why can they get rid of trump, when the democrats can't get rid of hillary? just more proof that the country is slanted to monied interests....

he has exceedingly limited options. the only reason that the media talks about pennsylvania, michigan & wisconsin is that there's just not a lot of real estate on the map. colorado isn't even really a swing anymore. the big wrench for the republicans is that virginia's apparent swing - which they seem to be ceding - leaves them without a viable strategy at any point in the near future.
he's in michigan on monday. michigan? well, do you have a better idea?

j reacts to clinton showing up to work half-drunk, again.
she's not just tired. those are hungover eyes. they've got her on ambien, too. she's sleepwalking through this...

j reacts to trump admitting that pence would really be in charge
he just admitted that pence will be running the country, if he wins. and, that's pretty scary.

could you imagine dubya standing up on stage in august, 2000 and telling everybody that a vote for dubya is a vote for cheney? that would be a historical smoking gun. trump just gave it to us.

water damage from the air conditioner (is that really the best window for it? how about a bucket?)
hi.
brief email....
i'm just attaching some pictures of the damage created by the a/c on the front step, as well as the consequences of it on the space under the step.
i'm currently running two fans in the space to air it out. i've also left the door open and am keeping the window open over night. but, why not just put a bucket on the step to catch the water?
