This is my dad back in 1987 blowing out the candles on his 40th birthday. I remember how old that seemed back then.
It’s amazing how young it really is.
Happy Fathers Day, dad. I love you.
Before you tell that LAPD officer to go fuck himself, take a moment and memorize California Penal Code § 415, and for what it’s worth, the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution, as it may become pertinent in subsequent conversation.
If you really want to piss off a cop, calmly reduce him to the municipal clerk that he is. Start doing his job in front of him by recording the conversation, asking him detailed procedural questions, and insisting he give his badge number and the name of his supervising officer. Fire with fire, man.
All These Things That I’ve Done, The Killers ~
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone’s lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I have done
Officer Adamson,
Wipe that smug grin off your weak-chinned face you pasty little bitch. How dare you humiliate a person in your custody like that?
Do you want to know why that young man has a “Fuck The Police” tattoo? Because authoritarian assholes like you are nothing but mindless stormtroopers waging an open and unjust war of aggression on the American underclass.
Sure, the politicians help you disguise it as a “war on drugs” or a “war on gangs,” but we know it’s really just an excuse for you to brutally manifest your sociopathic inferiority complex on helpless citizens while feeding the most evil machine ever to have been born out of the modern American nightmare ― the prison-industrial complex.
But fuck all that, Adamson. How about you take off those douchebag wrap-arounds long enough to look that man in the eye. See all that swallowed rage? Yeah. Thanks a lot for subjecting the most oppressed and angry among us to further physical and emotional abuse. Not that you’re self-aware enough to acknowledge your own complicity in the resulting violence that the rest of us have to suffer.
Oh well, when the only thing you protect and serve is your own doughy ass, it’s too much to expect you to understand that when you treat a man like an animal, that’s exactly what he’ll become.
Sure, I’ll admit that this man you’ve arrested may be a fucking animal. He might be a murderous thug who deserves lifelong incarceration. Still, it’s you… you, Officer Adamson, that are the real evil in this picture.
Fuck the police.

As a fun little insomnia project, I layed down Njósnavélin over this gorgeous time lapse of the night sky.

This track is perfect for making out on a leather couch at a hazy afterparty.

Okay, this makes sense… can anybody tell me if it’s accurate?
