disc 2 (immediate post-gabriel outtakes disc):
- squonk, robbery assault and battery, ripples, trick of the tail,

i'm continuing to work through the genesis mega discography and have created two post-gabriel collins period genesis salvage discs that i'm going to pause with for a bit and i want to draw attention to the end of this track, which is a very slick and professionally written pop song.

it's barely noticeable, but do you hear when phil does the call and response with the horns in the fade out? this is 1980/81, before autotune, but phil doesn't need it, because he has absolutely perfect pitch. and, he completely nails it, beyond the slightest microtune. it's inhuman.

it's a triviality. sure. almost anybody could do this, in truth, but the ease and perfection in which he does it is a clear demonstration of why musicians of successive generations just won't let phil go. he was a truly singular talent, whether the douchebag losers of the era, who were mostly talentless wretches, realized it or not.



donald trump has no remote interest in white or black south africans.

what is going on?
what dirt does elon musk have on donald trump?

this is becoming a serious national security concern. russiagate was nonsense; elongate is real, and elon poses a much greater threat than putin ever has or ever will.

it would seem as though the reason elon musk is shutting down us aid actually has to do with a right-wing nwo conspiracy theory about population control. 

i was actually going to suggest that a major part of the blowback would be unchecked population growth, which would severely threaten american hegemony, and to argue that, at the least, a skeleton family planning section should be kept running.

this is quickly turning into a worst case scenario that only those with trump derangement syndrome saw coming and everybody else thought was crazy. who'd have thought that qanon would take control of the white house via elon musk, who appears to have captured the president in the worst sense, perhaps via some kind of blackmail?

you don't normally see the very wealthy behave like this because they generally aren't retarded. make room in the dei space, as musk may be the first retarded billionaire. i don't know if that's true and actually suspect it isn't.

but this can't continue. shutting down us aid for these reasons is incomprehensible and the question on everybody's mind should be "what next?". the correct answer should be no. this is over; either some kind of barriers need to be erected to keep musk out, or he needs to be taken out, and the latter is increasingly looking like it might be the right answer.
