I write a lot about how the Biden-Harris administration is working to restore the principles of the period between 1933 and 1981, when members of both political parties widely shared the belief that the government should regulate business, provide a basic social safety net, promote infrastructure, and protect civil rights. And I write about how that so-called liberal consensus broke down as extremists used the Reconstruction-era image of the American cowboy—who, according to myth, wanted nothing from the government but to be left alone—to stand against what they insisted was creeping socialism that stole tax dollars from hardworking white men in order to give handouts to lazy minorities and women.
But five major stories over the past several days made me realize that I’ve never written about how Trump and his loyalists have distorted the cowboy image until it has become a poisonous caricature of the values its recent defenders have claimed to champion.
The cowboy myth originated during the Reconstruction era as a response to the idea that a government that defended Black rights was “socialist” and that the tax dollars required to pay bureaucrats and army officers would break hardworking white men.
This weekend, on Saturday, May 11, Paul Kiel of ProPublica and Russ Buettner of the New York Times teamed up to deliver a deep investigation into what Trump was talking about when he insisted that he must break tradition and refuse to release his tax returns when he ran for office in 2016 and 2020, citing an audit.
The New York Times had already reported that one of the reasons the Internal Revenue Service was auditing Trump’s taxes was that, beginning in 2010, he began to claim a $72.9 million tax refund because of huge losses from his failing casinos.
Kiel and Buettner followed the convoluted web of Trump’s finances to find another issue with his tax history. They concluded that Trump’s Chicago skyscraper, his last major construction project, was “a vast money loser.” He claimed losses as high as $651 million on it in 2008. But then he appears to have moved ownership of the building in 2010 from one entity to a new one—the authors describe it as “like moving coins from one pocket to another”—and used that move to claim another $168 million in losses, thereby double-dipping.
The experts the authors consulted said that if he loses the audit battle, Trump could owe the IRS more than $100 million. University of Baltimore law professor Walter Schwidetzky, who is an expert on partnership taxation, told the authors: “I think he ripped off the tax system.”
The cowboy myth emphasized dominance over the Indigenous Americans and Mexicans allegedly attacking white settlers from the East. On Friday an impressive piece of reporting from Jude Joffe-Block at NPR untangled the origins of a story pushed by Republicans that Democrats were encouraging asylum seekers to vote illegally for President Joe Biden in 2024, revealing that the story was entirely made up.
The story broke on X, formerly Twitter, on April 15, when the investigative arm of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which promises to provide “aggressive oversight” of the Biden administration, posted photos of what it claimed were flyers from inside portable toilets at a migrant camp in Matamoros, Mexico, that said in broken Spanish: “Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open.” The tweet thread got more than 9 million views and was boosted by Elon Musk, X’s owner.
But the story was fabricated. The flyer used the name of a small organization that helps asylum seekers, along with the name of the woman who runs the organization. She is a U.S. citizen and told Joffe-Block that her organization has “never encouraged people to vote for anyone.” Indeed, it has never come up because everyone knows noncitizens are not eligible to vote. The flyer had outdated phone numbers and addresses, and its Spanish was full of errors. Migrants who are staying at the encampment as they wait for their appointments to enter the U.S. say they have never seen such flyers, and no one has urged them to vote for Biden.
Digging showed that the flyer was “discovered” by the right-wing video site Muckraker, which specializes in “undercover” escapades. The founder of Muckraker, Anthony Rubin, and his brother, Joshua Rubin, had shown up at the organization’s headquarters in Matamoros asking to become volunteers for the organization; they and their conversation were captured on video, and signs point to the conclusion that they planted the flyers.
Nonetheless, Republicans ran with the story. Within 12 hours after the fake flyer appeared on X, Republican representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Dan Bishop (R-NC) brought posters of it to Congress, and Republicans made it a centerpiece of their insistence that Congress must pass a new law against noncitizen voting. Rather than being protected by modern-day cowboys, the woman who ran the organization that helps asylum seekers got death threats.
The cowboy image emphasized the masculinity of the independent men it championed, but the testimony of Stephanie Clifford, the adult film actress also known as Stormy Daniels, in Trump’s criminal trial for falsifying business records to cover up his payments to Clifford to keep her story of their sexual encounter secret before the 2016 election, turns Trump’s aggressive dominance into sad weakness. Covering Clifford’s testimony, Maureen Dowd of the New York Times yesterday wrote that “Trump came across as a loser in her account—a narcissist, cheater, sad Hugh Hefner wannabe, trading his satin pajamas for a dress shirt and trousers (and, later, boxers) as soon as Stormy mocked him.”
In the literature of the cowboy myth, the young champion of the underdog is eventually supposed to settle down and take care of his family, who adore him. But the news of the past week has caricatured that shift, too. On Wednesday, May 8, the Republican Party of Florida announced that it had picked Trump’s youngest son, 18-year-old Barron, as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, along with Trump’s other sons, Eric and Donald Jr.; Don Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle; and Trump’s second daughter, Tiffany, and her husband.
On Friday, May 10, Trump’s current wife and Barron’s mother, former first lady Melania Trump, issued a statement saying: “While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.” It is hard not to interpret this extraordinary snub from his own wife and son as a chilly response to the past month of testimony about his extramarital escapades while Barron was an infant.
Finally, there was the eye-popping story broken by Josh Dawsey and Maxine Joselow in the Washington Post on Thursday, revealing that last month, at a private meeting with about two dozen top oil executives at Mar-a-Lago, Trump offered to reverse President Joe Biden’s environmental rules designed to combat climate change and to stop any new ones from being enacted in exchange for a $1 billion donation.
Trump has promised his supporters that he would be an outsider, using his knowledge of business to defend ordinary Americans against those elites who don’t care about them. Now he has been revealed as being willing to sell us out—to sell humanity out—for the bargain basement price of $1 billion (with about 8 billion people in the world, this would make us each worth about 12 and a half cents).
Chief White House ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration Richard Painter wrote: “This is called bribery. It’s a felony.” He followed up with “Even a candidate who loses can be prosecuted for bribery. That includes the former guy asking for a billion dollars in campaign cash from oil companies in exchange for rolling back environmental laws.”
The cowboy myth was always a political image, designed to undermine the idea of a government that worked for ordinary Americans. It was powerful after the Civil War but faded into the past in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s as Americans realized that their lives depended on government regulation and a basic social safety net. The American cowboy burst back into prominence with the advent of the Marlboro Man in 1954, the year of the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision, and the idea of an individual white man who worked hard, wanted nothing from the government but to be left alone, was a sex symbol, and protected his women became a central myth in the rise of politicians determined to overturn the liberal consensus.
Now it seems the myth has come full circle, with the party led by a man whose wife rejects him and whose lovers ridicule him, who makes up stories about dangerous “others,” cheats on his taxes, solicits bribes, and tries to sell out his followers for cash—the very caricature the mythological cowboy was invented to fight.

2024.05.13 06:48 DemienOF 6 out of 10: Icon of the Seas
My previous experience was Harmony of the seas in 2018. Here we go with Icon:
Between Harmony 2018 and Icon 2024, I choose Harmony all the time. Better quality, less people (or at least it seemed like it was less) Main dinning actually seemed like a different option than windjammer. Better activities, better sales, better clothes, better service in general, daily parades and events.
I totally understand that covid affected this industry and somehow they have to make a return of that money, but I wasn’t expecting a huge mall designed to take selfies, I was expecting a cruise experience.

- Quick Check in and out.
- Condescending staff most of the times.
- Almost every waiter and Room assistant seems so desperate for tips, even when we get charged daily per person, per day.
- At Promenade, salesmen seemed to rush their sales, pressing you to buy and even lying about prices and benefits that are already included (like the warranty for example).
- Every single pool was always filled to the maximum possible. Most chairs reserved by towels (people hiding the “don’t reserve” sign with their towels) pretty underwhelming overall.
- The main pool ended up closed at least 3 different days because of “incidents” and “contamination”. Same thing happened in other pools. Snack papers and napkins flying around Deck 15.
- We reserved Chops Grille. 200 bucks only to get the same cuts that we actually got next day at Windjammer (specially Filet Mignon). The premium cuts are not included, Wagyu doesn’t taste that good. We got nice attention but to actually be a 200 bucks premium restaurant, the ambience seemed like a mcdonalds filled with two birthday parties. Everyone yelling and not giving a single crap.
- We also got Izumi Ibachi. Pretty good experience overall and a great service from the staff. That’s what I mean with exclusive items for a premium restaurant. I’m not paying extra to get the same thing I get at the buffet with more screams and yelling from other people.
- Couldn’t really enjoy activities like mini golf or surf cause they were always full, I like to share but I don’t like to get interrupted by two other golf balls. Waterpark was great overall, quick rides and 45 min wait rides as well. Didn’t like to get my feet burned walking up the stairs of the purple ride.
- The events like parties and parades were fine. Staff did their best to light up a boring audience overall, and I really meant it, you are in a vacation, not in a job activity.
- Food was great overall, nice variety at every place. Went to main dining first night only to get fried chicken with corn, after that we decided to dine at Windjammer to get more variety and eat as much as we wanted without someone faking a smile to get a tip. We got two calls the next days asking why we didn’t come back.
- Shows were awesome. Top quality to every one of them. Aquadome got technical problems the two times we went, the first time was actually suspended and ruined our schedule. Didn’t have hopes for the stand up comedy and they killed it, specially roasting Royal Caribbean. Oz, Effectors and Ice Skating also great.
- The two islands ( Basseterre and Charlotte Amalie) were pretty boring if you didn’t get an activity. Locals seemed condescending and bored with an attitude of “buy our stuff and leave”. Got scammed by a guy that has monkeys, leaves them in your shoulder, you film with your phone or get a photo and get charged 10 bucks per person. Saw an incident seconds after with another group that didn’t want to pay, obviously police are sided with locals. They ended up returning to the ship right away.
- Pretty Lame at Coco Cay should be the actual name of the thing. If you don’t get Coco Beach Club pass, you probably will suffer the same crowd you were suffering the whole week. Oasis Lagoon is impressive, but the amount of people and kids make it stressing. Icon and another ship arrived that day.
- We got Coco Beach Club. The pool is great, Beach is great, lots of birds though. We could finally enjoy empty chairs. Food was bad, I got a lobster cut in half with no meat at all. Also got a lobster sandwich that was partially better with fries and that was it. Filet mignon was the other option and I already got 4 of those at windjammer. Rum cake was great, but please NEVER AGAIN TRY TO MAKE CEVICHE, THAT THING WAS NOT CEVICHE, THAT WAS A BAD JOKE.
- We also tried the famous now infamous Coco Loco, the local drink that is actually like fruit punch juice with a joke of alcohol for around 15 bucks? Their pina colada is also a pineapple juice with a hint of rum. I get it that you need to calm down with the alcohol but charge 15 bucks for fruit punch juice is crazy.
- Sad thing to say that the best clothes were found at Coco Cay since the ship didn’t have many options to get, specially talking about shirts that were like 3 different types in two or three colors. The Messi shirts were like 30% more expensive in the ship than in any other place in miami or probably the world. Don’t buy anything the first 2 days, since they will lower their costs eventually. The commemorative set was 80 bucks and the next day 50.
- Pools: 2/10. Closed for too many times, full to their max. Hideaway pool was a joke, same with every other pool except for Royal Bay that was empty at 6pm (when it was open). The kids pool at deck 7 felt like an only kids pool so we didn’t go there, even when it felt the right thing to do to enjoy the infinite view that was impossible to enjoy at hideaway.
- Shows 8/10. Great shows and great places as well.
- Food 6/10. Didn’t enjoy the forced and invasive smiles. Didn’t like to pay 200 bucks only for the restaurant to run to Windjammer and fill my plate with the same food. Nice dinner and lunch at windjammer, props to Aquadome market.
- Offers 6/10. Not many, not great or unique items.
- Ambience 3/10. Not Royal Caribbeans fault, but it shows how people changed after covid. Manners seem to be dead.
- Other places 8/10. Gym was great, the exterior was cool, promenade and halls were nice, the pearl seemed unnecessary but idk. Casino was okay. Bars were fine, Surfside and the park looked awesome.
- Stateroom 7/10. Good distribution of space. The couch is a couch, not a bed, I still ended up sleeping there (check alternatives when more than 2 people).
- Staff 6/10. Their eyes either said “I need your money” or “Go away”, for the first time I felt uncomfortable while dining and also felt a robotic treatment at times.
Between Harmony 2018 and Icon 2024, I choose Harmony all the time. Better quality, less people (or at least it seemed like it was less) Main dinning actually seemed like a different option than windjammer. Better activities, better sales, better clothes, better service in general, daily parades and events.
I totally understand that covid affected this industry and somehow they have to make a return of that money, but I wasn’t expecting a huge mall designed to take selfies, I was expecting a cruise experience.

2024.05.12 16:53 sigma_male_steve iFlirts.com review - is Iflirts.com actually a SCAM?
 | https://preview.redd.it/vd0w3zlge00d1.jpg?width=1562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5c81189dd3a3119279052e0af776f57e50ace25 submitted by sigma_male_steve to OnlyTheCoolest [link] [comments] Ah, iFlirts.com—the dating site that sounds like it should be all fun and flirty, but let’s just say it might flirt more with your wallet than with potential matches. So, grab a snack, sit back, and let me take you on a tour of the not-so-sweet secrets of iFlirts.com. But first, a quick tip for those who can't wait: instead of spinning your wheels on iFlirts, why not try Ashley Madison? It's the go-to place with real folks and none of those shady tactics that leave you feeling ghosted. Scam 1: Fake ProfilesJump into iFlirts.com, and you might feel like you've walked into an international supermodel convention. Impressive? Sure. Believable? Not so much. These profiles often look as if they've been magically copied and pasted from social media sites or fashion blogs to create a façade of a buzzing, active community. The catch? They’re probably about as real as a unicorn.Scam 2: You Get Messages Instantly from Hot WomenNow, I don't know about you, but my empty profile sporting zero photos shouldn’t be that irresistible. Yet, on iFlirts.com, apparently, it’s enough to get bombarded by messages from gorgeous women within moments of signing up. Odd, isn’t it? The truth is likely that bots are working behind the curtains to make you feel like the belle of the ball—a tactic to keep you engaged and opening your wallet.Scam 3: iFlirts.com Advertises Other Dating SitesImagine walking into a burger joint only to be handed flyers for every other restaurant in town. Weird, right? That's what happens on iFlirts.com. Ads for other dating sites pop up frequently, pushing you towards other services. It’s a clear sign that iFlirts might not be in it to help you find love but rather to serve as a gateway to other, possibly equally questionable, platforms.Scam 4: iFlirts.com Has Appalling ReviewsTake a gander at user reviews of iFlirts.com, and it’s like reading through a list of dating disasters. Common complaints? Bots, scammy tactics, and a general lack of genuine interaction. When “fake” is the most frequent descriptor, you know something’s not quite right.Scam 5: iFlirts.com is Not FreeiFlirts advertises itself as free, but here's the catch—you can barely do anything without paying. Want to respond to one of those instant messages from hot profiles? That’ll cost you. Every step seems to have a price tag, making “free” a very, very relative term.Overall Verdict and RecommendationIn the grand casino of online dating, iFlirts.com feels like a rigged slot machine. My advice? Save your coins and emotional bandwidth and check out a site like Ashley Madison, where the odds are better and the people are real:

2024.05.12 03:28 Federal_Community437 Does my coworker who I helped get hired think I like him?
So it all started before he worked at taco bell. I messed up his order. When he came in the first time ordering a 12 taco party pack. And it ended up being where the 600 lb cook in the back and ended up eating all the tacos. Because there were 12 tacos that were basically unaccounted for. Because I put in the wrong order. I believe or it was the wrong type of taco or something along those lines so he ended up eating them basically. He came in with his cousin. But it appeared like he came in with his husband. And kids. They have lots of kids. Because he has kids and his cousin has kids. So they look like two husbands with lots of kids. My mother had to clock herself out and break out. Because she doesn't serve people who are gay and married with children. She will have a whole fit. Tell them that they're living a whole fantasy and that they're not real and all this nonsense. So it is best for her to just take a seat. Which is why I took their order. And that's their order of accidentally.
After that. I specifically saw him at the pizza parlor. Where he was working at the primm casino. And he was very knowledgeable about the pizzas. Very helpful. And so forth very accommodating pretty much a very good service individual.
A few days later. I saw that he had tried to turn in his application at my job. This was a day when we had two of the co-workers specifically very high out of their minds. At least the two co-workers in charge that day. Because on Fridays there were only two people in charge. A shift lead and a guy who kind of like in waiting. during the that Christmas season DeJean was always high off of his rockers. everyday he came in his eyes were shut and he was slurring his words. and Sam was a heroin addict. so I think him being high everyday like he was. was supposedly on his best behavior. because it was marijuana supposedly. instead of heroin or crack. and these people both ended up cursing out the customers screaming at them to leave the store. and cursing out other co-workers as well. so it was no use in asking them for help basically. yeah that day they were both high out of their minds. And very busy. So I felt like the application was not going to go anywhere anyway. Besides probably in the trash. I tried to put it in the office where Nik could see it. But I don't even know if he ended up being able to see his application.
Anyway what ended up happening was in this city we all lived in the same apartment complex. So I saw him I think two more times and then he came into the store two more times. And one of the times I saw him in person at the apartment complex. I specifically show them when the general manager would be available. And literally set up a time for him. After I had talked to the general manager and told him that I was getting this guy Tyler to him for him to interview.
The reason I tried for him. Was specifically because the prim casino was closing. Meaning that the employees probably didn't have any choice there. And considering he had all those kids so I believed and considering that at that place that apartment complex you have to have a job. In order to stay there. It seemed like it was important for him to get the job. That was my reason. On top of the fact that at the pizza parlor he was a good worker. It ain't nothing to do with me at all liking them in that way. I never liked him. It was just specifically that I felt like well he got kids he's in this apartment complex. That will be evicted in 72 hours if he doesn't have a job pretty soon. and he was a good worker from what I could tell.
After the interview though my general manager Nik try to imply that I must like him or something. Because why that did I try to push for him to get hired. When it was simply because he was a hard worker from what I could tell and he had kids. From what I could tell. And he was at a job that was going to end soon. Meaning at in the private apartments you have to have a job. They will evict you in like 72 hours. Who wants to see kids being evicted in 72 hours for not having a job. Like realistically to me I didn't want to see that. Considering they were my next door neighbors anyway.
Anyway I ended up quitting. I quit the job. Because it was in the middle of my whole situation where I spent 18 days. Working Day today. And people like my general manager were yelling at me and telling me how terrible I was for missing an hour of work. I ended up putting a quit letter in. And that went sour. Because I put it in speaking pretty crass. Because I was like hey it's over. I can just talk like a regular person. So I started talking about stuff. But I wasn't specifically cursing anyone out. I was specifically like saying what I did for a living outside of this job. Which is in the phone sex industry basically. And saying something about my give a damn is busted. Things of that nature. Which ended up where the message got taken out. And said it was an offensive message. So everybody thought I was cursing them out. Which was the side issue. I remember being a little sad about quitting because I wanted to work with him and I thought he would be fun to work with. And also being like oh well you know I'm quitting but I got you a good one. Kind of thing.
Well I got rehired. A couple months later. During the summer. And I've worked there since. For a year. Never been times where the coworker I tried to get hired Tyler acts like Oddish. He says he's autistic so maybe that's it? For example I was just trying to talk about my ex who was a prostitute. And he got all uncomfortable. But the problem with that situation was I specifically had just talked to Angela and Victor about the same thing. Telling them about how massage therapists are really prostitutes. And how my ex was really a prostitute all that time and I had no clue about it. And how my roommate just let me in on knowing that massage therapist basically means a prostitute.
And like another time I was specifically just saying I didn't like anyone I was working with at the time. And then they got all fussy. When I tripped accidentally said that I did but I wasn't meaning him or angelee I was meaning Lucas who I wasn't working with. After that he started acting oddly too.
For example I had to run late yesterday so I had to take an Uber. On the right there. I took a photo and I was surprised because one of my eyes turned yellow. And I was like what the heck. My eyes are black. So how are my eyes yellow in the photo. Because of the lighting. Flash right on my eye. With the sun flashing in the way it did. It was like a direct lighting. But it was like a strip of light that basically hit my eye. So then that let me to download a color detector and a color picker. Just to determine the color I was looking at. So then what colors came up were fawn tan and camel. I look up these colors. And it says yellow. And then I look up fawn colored eyes. And it literally says hazel. So then I'm confused. Ask you why I have hazel eyes in the sun. In direct strip lighting but I got black eyes every other time. And every other normal lighting. So when I get to work. I basically ask my coworkers. Because all my coworkers have black eyes too. If they also get yellow eyes when they look at the sun. And pretty much it seemed like nobody really agreed with that. And people seem like they're uncomfortable and angry because I asked that question.
He specifically acted like I was somehow doing something or making him uncomfortable especially when I showed him the photo. Very odd because I wasn't trying to say they were pretty. Or anything along those lines. This was the day I didn't straighten my har. I let my hair just stay like stick stuck up weird. Because I didn't have enough time to get ready for work. The photo was taken completely makeupless I mean I washed my face. And put some sunscreen on. That's all I did. And I had hair all over my uniform. This wasn't a flattering photo.and I wasn't trying to imply anything about my eyes. Especially since normally they're black. So I wasn't trying to say they were pretty either. It was just me looking at my picture and being like is this actually brown or is it Amber or Hazel or what the heck is it? That was my question. I only have my pair of eyes. I don't have anyone else's to see if the lighting is different on other Brown eyes. Am I like the one with yellow tint in my eyes. When bright sunlight hits it. Is that a sign of not being actually brown-eyed. Or what? Like that was my question. But he seemed to take it completely differently. I ended up talking to Justin about it. Who explained to me that he had brown eyes all his life and then he found out that he had green eyes when he looked into the sunlight. And that it was a normal occurrence for people with very dark eye color of different colors than brown. Basically. He did not seem like that was a weird question or that was wrong for me to bring this up. To him. So I don't get why the other guy seem to react a little negatively to me but he's done that before with other conversations on other things which is just weird to me.
Personally for me. When it comes to men I like I would never ask that question as I've said before I tried telling Lucas to make me a bacon grilled cheese burrito got stuck in mid sentence and had to go on the intercom to ask Sidney to tell him. I don't talk to people I'm attracted to about simple things I actually need. I stuttered and if I'm friendly I'm whining mostly. No way I'd be talking about my eye color to anyone I was attracted to. I don't even like to look people in the eyes. If I am attracted to them. So I would not be talking about my eyes at all. Because a part of me feels like if they look in my eyes. They'll realize I like/want them so yeah the last thing I'd be talking about is my eyes.
Even thinking back to a past coworker sam who I mildly was odd and about a coworker misty who didn't like to work her job. Barely came into work. And all I ever saw of her was on the crew app. And she had some blue eye contacts in. So then the first time I finally saw her. She didn't have her eye contacts in and I was confused how she was the same person because she didn't have blue eyes anymore. This was in front of a guy I was sorta fond of ever so VERY mildly. And Sam kept trying to tell me to look at his eyes and how they were green or whatever and I wouldn't look/completely ignored him. So even if I have to talk about someone's eye color I still won't reference or look or talk at a person's eye color or talk about it with a person I'm even mildly attracted to. Even if the topic was someone else's eye color I won't talk about it with someone I'm attracted to even if it's mildly.
What is weird he acts uncomfortable about conversations that I've had with other people. Who don't take it that way. Which is why it leads me to think maybe he still thinks that I like him in some way because of how he got here in the first place? I've tried to mention this like a couple times. To different coworkers. That I didn't. Like him. Specifically to just put that out there.
Most of my coworkers know that I only like men who are white. Specifically. And he's not white. Also a lot of other things but I'm not going to pick apart a person.
Anyway if he does think this how do I correct it? Because he acts uncomfortable with many conversations I have just fine with other people.

After that. I specifically saw him at the pizza parlor. Where he was working at the primm casino. And he was very knowledgeable about the pizzas. Very helpful. And so forth very accommodating pretty much a very good service individual.
A few days later. I saw that he had tried to turn in his application at my job. This was a day when we had two of the co-workers specifically very high out of their minds. At least the two co-workers in charge that day. Because on Fridays there were only two people in charge. A shift lead and a guy who kind of like in waiting. during the that Christmas season DeJean was always high off of his rockers. everyday he came in his eyes were shut and he was slurring his words. and Sam was a heroin addict. so I think him being high everyday like he was. was supposedly on his best behavior. because it was marijuana supposedly. instead of heroin or crack. and these people both ended up cursing out the customers screaming at them to leave the store. and cursing out other co-workers as well. so it was no use in asking them for help basically. yeah that day they were both high out of their minds. And very busy. So I felt like the application was not going to go anywhere anyway. Besides probably in the trash. I tried to put it in the office where Nik could see it. But I don't even know if he ended up being able to see his application.
Anyway what ended up happening was in this city we all lived in the same apartment complex. So I saw him I think two more times and then he came into the store two more times. And one of the times I saw him in person at the apartment complex. I specifically show them when the general manager would be available. And literally set up a time for him. After I had talked to the general manager and told him that I was getting this guy Tyler to him for him to interview.
The reason I tried for him. Was specifically because the prim casino was closing. Meaning that the employees probably didn't have any choice there. And considering he had all those kids so I believed and considering that at that place that apartment complex you have to have a job. In order to stay there. It seemed like it was important for him to get the job. That was my reason. On top of the fact that at the pizza parlor he was a good worker. It ain't nothing to do with me at all liking them in that way. I never liked him. It was just specifically that I felt like well he got kids he's in this apartment complex. That will be evicted in 72 hours if he doesn't have a job pretty soon. and he was a good worker from what I could tell.
After the interview though my general manager Nik try to imply that I must like him or something. Because why that did I try to push for him to get hired. When it was simply because he was a hard worker from what I could tell and he had kids. From what I could tell. And he was at a job that was going to end soon. Meaning at in the private apartments you have to have a job. They will evict you in like 72 hours. Who wants to see kids being evicted in 72 hours for not having a job. Like realistically to me I didn't want to see that. Considering they were my next door neighbors anyway.
Anyway I ended up quitting. I quit the job. Because it was in the middle of my whole situation where I spent 18 days. Working Day today. And people like my general manager were yelling at me and telling me how terrible I was for missing an hour of work. I ended up putting a quit letter in. And that went sour. Because I put it in speaking pretty crass. Because I was like hey it's over. I can just talk like a regular person. So I started talking about stuff. But I wasn't specifically cursing anyone out. I was specifically like saying what I did for a living outside of this job. Which is in the phone sex industry basically. And saying something about my give a damn is busted. Things of that nature. Which ended up where the message got taken out. And said it was an offensive message. So everybody thought I was cursing them out. Which was the side issue. I remember being a little sad about quitting because I wanted to work with him and I thought he would be fun to work with. And also being like oh well you know I'm quitting but I got you a good one. Kind of thing.
Well I got rehired. A couple months later. During the summer. And I've worked there since. For a year. Never been times where the coworker I tried to get hired Tyler acts like Oddish. He says he's autistic so maybe that's it? For example I was just trying to talk about my ex who was a prostitute. And he got all uncomfortable. But the problem with that situation was I specifically had just talked to Angela and Victor about the same thing. Telling them about how massage therapists are really prostitutes. And how my ex was really a prostitute all that time and I had no clue about it. And how my roommate just let me in on knowing that massage therapist basically means a prostitute.
And like another time I was specifically just saying I didn't like anyone I was working with at the time. And then they got all fussy. When I tripped accidentally said that I did but I wasn't meaning him or angelee I was meaning Lucas who I wasn't working with. After that he started acting oddly too.
For example I had to run late yesterday so I had to take an Uber. On the right there. I took a photo and I was surprised because one of my eyes turned yellow. And I was like what the heck. My eyes are black. So how are my eyes yellow in the photo. Because of the lighting. Flash right on my eye. With the sun flashing in the way it did. It was like a direct lighting. But it was like a strip of light that basically hit my eye. So then that let me to download a color detector and a color picker. Just to determine the color I was looking at. So then what colors came up were fawn tan and camel. I look up these colors. And it says yellow. And then I look up fawn colored eyes. And it literally says hazel. So then I'm confused. Ask you why I have hazel eyes in the sun. In direct strip lighting but I got black eyes every other time. And every other normal lighting. So when I get to work. I basically ask my coworkers. Because all my coworkers have black eyes too. If they also get yellow eyes when they look at the sun. And pretty much it seemed like nobody really agreed with that. And people seem like they're uncomfortable and angry because I asked that question.
He specifically acted like I was somehow doing something or making him uncomfortable especially when I showed him the photo. Very odd because I wasn't trying to say they were pretty. Or anything along those lines. This was the day I didn't straighten my har. I let my hair just stay like stick stuck up weird. Because I didn't have enough time to get ready for work. The photo was taken completely makeupless I mean I washed my face. And put some sunscreen on. That's all I did. And I had hair all over my uniform. This wasn't a flattering photo.and I wasn't trying to imply anything about my eyes. Especially since normally they're black. So I wasn't trying to say they were pretty either. It was just me looking at my picture and being like is this actually brown or is it Amber or Hazel or what the heck is it? That was my question. I only have my pair of eyes. I don't have anyone else's to see if the lighting is different on other Brown eyes. Am I like the one with yellow tint in my eyes. When bright sunlight hits it. Is that a sign of not being actually brown-eyed. Or what? Like that was my question. But he seemed to take it completely differently. I ended up talking to Justin about it. Who explained to me that he had brown eyes all his life and then he found out that he had green eyes when he looked into the sunlight. And that it was a normal occurrence for people with very dark eye color of different colors than brown. Basically. He did not seem like that was a weird question or that was wrong for me to bring this up. To him. So I don't get why the other guy seem to react a little negatively to me but he's done that before with other conversations on other things which is just weird to me.
Personally for me. When it comes to men I like I would never ask that question as I've said before I tried telling Lucas to make me a bacon grilled cheese burrito got stuck in mid sentence and had to go on the intercom to ask Sidney to tell him. I don't talk to people I'm attracted to about simple things I actually need. I stuttered and if I'm friendly I'm whining mostly. No way I'd be talking about my eye color to anyone I was attracted to. I don't even like to look people in the eyes. If I am attracted to them. So I would not be talking about my eyes at all. Because a part of me feels like if they look in my eyes. They'll realize I like/want them so yeah the last thing I'd be talking about is my eyes.
Even thinking back to a past coworker sam who I mildly was odd and about a coworker misty who didn't like to work her job. Barely came into work. And all I ever saw of her was on the crew app. And she had some blue eye contacts in. So then the first time I finally saw her. She didn't have her eye contacts in and I was confused how she was the same person because she didn't have blue eyes anymore. This was in front of a guy I was sorta fond of ever so VERY mildly. And Sam kept trying to tell me to look at his eyes and how they were green or whatever and I wouldn't look/completely ignored him. So even if I have to talk about someone's eye color I still won't reference or look or talk at a person's eye color or talk about it with a person I'm even mildly attracted to. Even if the topic was someone else's eye color I won't talk about it with someone I'm attracted to even if it's mildly.
What is weird he acts uncomfortable about conversations that I've had with other people. Who don't take it that way. Which is why it leads me to think maybe he still thinks that I like him in some way because of how he got here in the first place? I've tried to mention this like a couple times.

With the West Virginia primary election on Tuesday, May 14th, I wanted to do a brief reminder about some of the folks that are running for office whose names might sound familiar:
Derrick Evans - briefly elected to the WV House of Delegates before resigning, now running for the Republican nomination for US Congress in District 1 Likely the first member of the WV House of Delegates elected while having an active restraining order Invaded the Capitol on January 6th
Eric Porterfield - former member of the WV House of Delegates, currently running for the Republican nomination for WV State Senate in District 6 Blinded in a bar fight Compared the LGBTQ+ community to the KKK, and implied he would drown his children if they were gay
Tricia Jackson - running for the Republican nomination for State Auditor Posed with two members of the Proud Boys for a photo Recently arrested for failing to show up for meetings of the Jefferson County Commission
Doug Skaff - running for the Republican nomination for WV Secretary of State He was the former House Minority Leader for the Democrats in the House of Delegates, until he wasn't He's also a convicted casino cheat
Mike Maroney - current WV State Senator for District 2, running once again for the Republican nomination, which is the de facto election as there is no one else running for this office in the fall Mikey likes hookers
Randy Smith - current WV State Senator for District 14, running unopposed in the Republican primary, and will only face a Mountain Party opponent in the general election in the fall Randy thinks we should offer reduced prison sentences for drug users if they agree to be sterilized
Let me know if there's anyone I missed!

How Al Jourgensen Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Ministry's First Album 'With Sympathy'
Al Jourgensen. DERICK SMITH*
IT TOOK A conspiracy to get Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen to come around to his band’s debut album, the proudly commercial, synth-pop juggernaut With Sympathy. The vocalist has spent the last four decades separating himself from the LP, since he alleges his label at the time, Arista, and its founder, Clive Davis, pressured him into constructing a surefire Billboard hit. He has felt so embarrassed by the whole thing that he left the label and has charged fans $1,000 just for him to autograph copies of the record. Now for the first time in decades, he’ll be performing songs from With Sympathy again at this weekend’s Cruel World festival in Pasadena. He just needed a nudge.
“The guys in the band know I don’t like this record,” Jourgensen tells Rolling Stone on a Zoom from his Los Angeles home. He’s sitting outside, wearing a witchy wide-brimmed hat and mirrored Lennon sunglasses even though he’s in the shade. “They came up with all these new versions of all the old songs and then sprung them on me one night on the bus while I was on ‘shrooms. I actually wound up going, ‘Hey, that’s not bad.'”
Jourgensen’s psychotropic revelation led to talks with Cruel World and now he acknowledges mixed emotions about revisiting the material — which Ministry will perform alongside songs from the group’s second LP, Twitch — on Saturday. He says he’s finally ready.
“The reasons I don’t like that record are not really so much for the music as much as the surrounding dynamic of it,” he says. “It’s literally a label-appointed producer, label-appointed engineer, label-appointed background vocalist, label-appointed lyrics, label-appointed looks or management-appointed looks. I had to sue to get off this label as soon as that record came out. I was so unhappy.”
With disco drums, glassy synthesizers, and Jourgensen’s fey British accent, With Sympathy became an easy hit when it came out in May 1983. Lead track “Effigy (I’m Not An)” has an icy cool about it that still resonates (it was featured in an episode of Euphoria’s second season) while the singles “Work for Love” and “I Wanted to Tell Her” have a funky club feel that could fit easily between Duran Duran and Bronski Beat songs on an Eighties pop playlist. Rolling Stone recently rated the album’s “Revenge” the 42nd best song of 1983, likely much to Jourgensen’s chagrin. It was so commercial that at the time, Ministry opened for the Police, Culture Club, and Madness, and the album was Ministry’s best-selling LP until 1992’s Psalm 69. Jourgensen was so unhappy, he spent years trying to expiate the success.
The new versions of the songs, however, will sound more like the Ministry that achieved fame in the late Eighties and early Nineties, leaning into rigid rhythms and crushing guitar. The only With Sympathy redux song they’ve performed live so far, “Revenge,” features chugging metal guitars and Jourgensen’s now-guttural vocals replacing his once slight croon. The changes in the rest of the songs, which will require two keyboardists, three backup singers, and an orchestral string trio, are even more dramatic. For Jourgensen, who’s planning on sunsetting Ministry’s career with recordings of these new versions of the songs and another album with his estranged bandmate, Paul Barker, later this year, it’s a full circle moment.
“You’ll be able to recognize the songs, but we’ve certainly put the stamp on it of Ministry 2.0,” Jourgensen says during a rare interview about the album that lasts about the time it takes to play With Sympathy. “It’s not your grandpa’s Ministry.”
So what makes the new versions of the With Sympathy songs special?
We turned them into arena rock songs. People at Cruel World are going to freak out. I feel empowered and it’s very cathartic for me to finally be able to own these songs instead of run from them. This Cruel World thing is going to be literally a public exorcism.
What was your state of mind around the making of With Sympathy?
I was living in a squat where literally I had a hole in my roof. I had plugged stolen cables into a building that actually had power. And somebody offers me a record contract, I’m like, “Hell yeah, man. This sure beats a kick in the balls.”
If you’d had your way, what would With Sympathy have sounded like in 1983? Would it have been more like “Every Day Is Halloween”?
Yeah, I think so. It would have been a lot more keyboard-oriented. I was going through my keyboard phase because everybody was. As a matter of fact, Arista turned down “Halloween” and “All Day” and a bunch of other songs because Clive Davis pretty much wanted to write my songs. I mean, basically they wanted to make me a whiter shade of Milli Vanilli.
What do you mean?
On “Work for Love,” I was recording in London, and Clive Davis would call from New York and read me lyrics over a landline phone. And I’d have to jot them down and sing those, and he’d accept those. He rejected all these songs that I had done already. He wanted things like “Say You’re Sorry.” He would just call up on a whim and say, “I want you to do this.” And after living in a squat, shoveling snow out of my living room, I was like, “OK, man, whatever you want.”
So all the song credits should say, “By Clive Davis”?
No, not all of them. But even the versions I had of things like “Revenge” and “Effigy” were cleaned up by the appointed engineer, producer, and Clive and made more palatable to a pop audience. Basically, I think they signed me for having high cheekbones and being a skinny little white guy that was playing pop and funk.
What do you think they wanted you to be?
The flavor of the month that year was the Psychedelic Furs. So they appointed [the Furs’ drummer] Vince Ely as producer of [With Sympathy]. And Vince is a great guy and all that, but he’d never produced before. It was all about the look of it.
And damn it, they made me cut my hair, and that pissed me off the most. I’m an old hippie, so it’s like Samson losing his hair. I felt powerless, naked, vulnerable. It was horrible.
Bob Roberts, who played keys on With Sympathy, gave an interview a few years ago where he said you “certainly seemed to be into it at the time, more so than anyone else.” But he added that the record didn’t really reflect how you sounded onstage.
He wasn’t in London fielding the calls from Clive Davis, OK? And yes, he’s right: It did not capture us at the time because we did a lot of varied material that eventually got rejected. I really don’t know what he’s talking about because he wasn’t there. Maybe the band and him couldn’t twist my arm on things, but Clive Davis on the phone can certainly twist your arm. You pretty much do as told.
Was Clive Davis scary back then?
When you’re 21, 22 years old and you’re just coming out of a squat and now you’re living in London and fancy hotels, I’m recording at AIR Studios, George Martin’s place, with Queen’s engineer, I’m like, “Whoa.” Of course, it’s overwhelming. So you go along with everything.
The credits for With Sympathy say you not only wrote “Should Have Known Better” but recorded every instrument yourself. Is that wrong?
That one’s all mine. And yeah, there’s some real pop flavor to a lot of that stuff that I was writing back then. I’d just found keyboards and fell in love with them, and so a lot of the stuff I was doing was getting away from my roots.
Before that, I was in a metal cover band, oddly enough, called Slayer. It came before Slayer, back in ’78. And by ’79, ’80, I was in Special Affect, which is very Gang of Four-ish. And then keyboards came out and I started writing poppier stuff. But all that stuff like “Every Day Is Halloween” was written in ’81, ’82.
What were you listening to around the time you wrote With Sympathy?
My taste is completely wacko, off the charts. I listened to everything from Yma Sumac to Gang of Four to Thelonious Monk, and then into Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks. Then Killing Joke came out, and that sealed the deal for me. It was just like, “No, I’m throwing out the synthesizers and I’m going to do a lot more guitar.”
I found an interview with you from 1982 where you said, “Chic is the best band ever as far as I’m concerned.”
Oh yeah, absolutely. I still feel that way. But like I said, I’m all over the map. There’s only two types of music: There’s good and there’s shit. I was hoping I was listening to the good shit.
You also described Ministry’s music by saying, “If you can’t dance to it, you’re either a cripple or disinterested.“
Well, back then I was DJing as well, so that was important to me. You had to make people dance and buy drinks, otherwise you’re out of here. So at the time, that was a much more important factor in my songwriting than it is today.
When is the last time you listened to With Sympathy?
About 40 years ago. I still haven’t. I’ve listened to the songs my band ambushed me with on the bus but the actual original versions, no. I burned those tapes on a barbecue. We had to start from scratch on doing this show because we had no stems, no guide to go by. I didn’t even know what songs were on the album, to be honest.
I was going to ask what you thought of your vocals on the album.
I’ve listened to some songs but not the whole album. I was singing in this high key register that I couldn’t pull off now at gunpoint. It just sounds so naïve to me.
On “Effigy,” you had a British affectation, singing about “me mom and me dad.” What was that about?
Well, I was living there. You’re obviously influenced by your environment, so I don’t feel bad about that. That’s how I spoke on an everyday basis when I was living there. By the time I was done with Twitch, I’d lived there two years.
“Effigy” was used in an episode of Euphoria a few years back. What do you think about how it appeals a new audience? Do you still ask fans to donate $1,000 to charity to sign it?
I’m happy to sign it now because I’m ready to own it. I’m ready to stop that haunting me.
You left Arista after With Sympathy. What happened?
I literally had to go to court and sue to leave. They offered me a lot of money to stay, and I was just like, no, no, no, no, because I couldn’t look into a mirror anymore. I didn’t feel like I was myself anymore.
What strikes you when you look at the photo of yourself in the album art for With Sympathy?
What strikes me is anger that my management was in literally cahoots with Arista. The record company basically said, “You need to cut your hair.” Then they took me to some place on Melrose here, flew me out, and picked out a bunch of sharkskin suits.
It makes me angry at the exploitation aspect of it. I just wasn’t down with the program: that particular photo shoot and that particular “Revenge” video, which is done by the guy that did all the Cure videos, because that was the flavor of the month.
Ministry’s drummer at the time, Stevo, is the only other person in the photo. When’s the last time you spoke with him?
About 35 years. And I haven’t talked to Bob Roberts in 40 years. Just went our separate ways and I decided to just forge my own path. I’ve been known to do that with Ministry.
Yeah, you’ve had a lot of band members.
Right after Filth Pig, I took a couple of years off to live with Timothy Leary and just do acid. I was sick of it. I was sick of Paul Barker, and now I’m working with Paul Barker again on our final album.
How did you two patch things up?
Well, we realized it was both of our ex-wives suing each other instead of us. He just moved close to me here. I have a recording studio in my house, so we’re going to start the final album together in June. We’re best buddies now. We should have always been, but literally it was two other people suing each other in our names. It was really bizarre.
Have you and Paul Barker talked about the final album?
Yeah, I just heard some of his ideas. What Ministry is doing now is kind of like arena rock — it’s just much more simple and guttural — where Barker is much more ethereal and it’s more like a Brian Eno–type. So the two styles combined is what makes Ministry “Ministry.” What he played me the other day was just extraordinary.
Will Paul be joining Ministry’s live band again?
He’ll be on the last tour without a doubt.
So the plan is to do Cruel World, re-record some of the With Sympathy songs and then do the final album with Paul Barker. Which songs from With Sympathy will you never play again?
“Say You’re Sorry,” “She’s Got a Cause” — yuck, just drips with just fakeness, sugar-coated pop. Those are the two that stand out right away. I’m sure I could come up with more, but I think there’s some solid ideas on there. I just think it was just sanitized so much that it was almost beyond recognition.
Have you run into Clive Davis at all in the past four decades?
Hell no. I don’t go to his [Grammy] parties and stuff. Trust me.
You’re cool with Paul Barker now, are you sure you and Clive —
No, Clive and I aren’t going to happen.
When do you plan on re-recording the With Sympathy songs you like?
As soon as we’re done with Cruel World, I go right in the studio. And most of these songs are already done because we had to re-record them just to know how we were going to sound. So they basically just need to be mixed. It’s just going to take me a couple of weeks. Then we shop it to the highest bidder, whoever wants it. And then at that point, I start working with Barker.
Since you’re planning Ministry’s final album, how are you seeing the end of the band?
I’m 65 now. I was hoping to retire at 65, but two years of Covid made it so I can’t afford that yet. So I’ll do another couple years, and then that’s it. There’s no point in touring. And touring gets harder as you’re older anyways, and I don’t really want to do the whole casino circuit.
All I really want to do is film scoring. I get to stay at my house, and I work out of my house. And so I’m just trying to wrap everything up with a nice little bow, exorcise all demons, and put Ministry to bed.
Your recent film score was for something related to Killers of the Flower Moon.
Yes, it’s called Long Knife. It follows up on Killers of the Flower Moon. Leo DiCaprio is narrating the documentary of this. His dad is executive producer, and I think Scorsese might be involved in this as well. It will come out next year.
Other than composing film scores, what does the Ministry retirement plan look like?
That’s it. If I’m not scoring, it’ll just be activism. Everyone knows my views are pretty left. I’m not divulging my medical records, so there might be underlying reasons why it’s also time to go. I’ll just put it at that.
In the interview you gave from 1982, you said: “A few things are for sure. It’s a fairly safe proposition. I’m not going to turn into a junkie or move away or have a girl ruin my life. I don’t want to do anything else. It will be Al Jourgensen and the music business till the death.” What do you think of that now?
As far as being a junkie, yeah, I blew that one. But everything I’ve done in my life has been ass backwards. I was born premature, yellow, completely jaundiced with liver failure, and 60 percent hearing loss. So what do I become, a drunken producer? It’s been 22 years since I touched any of that shit, coke or heroin or pills or any of that shit. I don’t touch that stuff. I watch people do it in front of me and just never relapsed either, never.
So yeah, I’ve lived a pretty backward life. Everything that I wasn’t supposed to do, I did. Everything I was supposed to do, I didn’t. I’m just as confused as anyone else is on this planet and just wondering why I’m even here. So when do I get my next assignment in the universe? When do I get a new planet to go to? Because I think they keep sending me back to this one on purpose just to piss me off, but here I am.

“The guys in the band know I don’t like this record,” Jourgensen tells Rolling Stone on a Zoom from his Los Angeles home. He’s sitting outside, wearing a witchy wide-brimmed hat and mirrored Lennon sunglasses even though he’s in the shade. “They came up with all these new versions of all the old songs and then sprung them on me one night on the bus while I was on ‘shrooms. I actually wound up going, ‘Hey, that’s not bad.'”
Jourgensen’s psychotropic revelation led to talks with Cruel World and now he acknowledges mixed emotions about revisiting the material — which Ministry will perform alongside songs from the group’s second LP, Twitch — on Saturday. He says he’s finally ready.
“The reasons I don’t like that record are not really so much for the music as much as the surrounding dynamic of it,” he says. “It’s literally a label-appointed producer, label-appointed engineer, label-appointed background vocalist, label-appointed lyrics, label-appointed looks or management-appointed looks. I had to sue to get off this label as soon as that record came out. I was so unhappy.”
With disco drums, glassy synthesizers, and Jourgensen’s fey British accent, With Sympathy became an easy hit when it came out in May 1983. Lead track “Effigy (I’m Not An)” has an icy cool about it that still resonates (it was featured in an episode of Euphoria’s second season) while the singles “Work for Love” and “I Wanted to Tell Her” have a funky club feel that could fit easily between Duran Duran and Bronski Beat songs on an Eighties pop playlist. Rolling Stone recently rated the album’s “Revenge” the 42nd best song of 1983, likely much to Jourgensen’s chagrin. It was so commercial that at the time, Ministry opened for the Police, Culture Club, and Madness, and the album was Ministry’s best-selling LP until 1992’s Psalm 69. Jourgensen was so unhappy, he spent years trying to expiate the success.
The new versions of the songs, however, will sound more like the Ministry that achieved fame in the late Eighties and early Nineties, leaning into rigid rhythms and crushing guitar. The only With Sympathy redux song they’ve performed live so far, “Revenge,” features chugging metal guitars and Jourgensen’s now-guttural vocals replacing his once slight croon. The changes in the rest of the songs, which will require two keyboardists, three backup singers, and an orchestral string trio, are even more dramatic. For Jourgensen, who’s planning on sunsetting Ministry’s career with recordings of these new versions of the songs and another album with his estranged bandmate, Paul Barker, later this year, it’s a full circle moment.
“You’ll be able to recognize the songs, but we’ve certainly put the stamp on it of Ministry 2.0,” Jourgensen says during a rare interview about the album that lasts about the time it takes to play With Sympathy. “It’s not your grandpa’s Ministry.”
So what makes the new versions of the With Sympathy songs special?
We turned them into arena rock songs. People at Cruel World are going to freak out. I feel empowered and it’s very cathartic for me to finally be able to own these songs instead of run from them. This Cruel World thing is going to be literally a public exorcism.
What was your state of mind around the making of With Sympathy?
I was living in a squat where literally I had a hole in my roof. I had plugged stolen cables into a building that actually had power. And somebody offers me a record contract, I’m like, “Hell yeah, man. This sure beats a kick in the balls.”
If you’d had your way, what would With Sympathy have sounded like in 1983? Would it have been more like “Every Day Is Halloween”?
Yeah, I think so. It would have been a lot more keyboard-oriented. I was going through my keyboard phase because everybody was. As a matter of fact, Arista turned down “Halloween” and “All Day” and a bunch of other songs because Clive Davis pretty much wanted to write my songs. I mean, basically they wanted to make me a whiter shade of Milli Vanilli.
What do you mean?
On “Work for Love,” I was recording in London, and Clive Davis would call from New York and read me lyrics over a landline phone. And I’d have to jot them down and sing those, and he’d accept those. He rejected all these songs that I had done already. He wanted things like “Say You’re Sorry.” He would just call up on a whim and say, “I want you to do this.” And after living in a squat, shoveling snow out of my living room, I was like, “OK, man, whatever you want.”
So all the song credits should say, “By Clive Davis”?
No, not all of them. But even the versions I had of things like “Revenge” and “Effigy” were cleaned up by the appointed engineer, producer, and Clive and made more palatable to a pop audience. Basically, I think they signed me for having high cheekbones and being a skinny little white guy that was playing pop and funk.
What do you think they wanted you to be?
The flavor of the month that year was the Psychedelic Furs. So they appointed [the Furs’ drummer] Vince Ely as producer of [With Sympathy]. And Vince is a great guy and all that, but he’d never produced before. It was all about the look of it.
And damn it, they made me cut my hair, and that pissed me off the most. I’m an old hippie, so it’s like Samson losing his hair. I felt powerless, naked, vulnerable. It was horrible.
Bob Roberts, who played keys on With Sympathy, gave an interview a few years ago where he said you “certainly seemed to be into it at the time, more so than anyone else.” But he added that the record didn’t really reflect how you sounded onstage.
He wasn’t in London fielding the calls from Clive Davis, OK? And yes, he’s right: It did not capture us at the time because we did a lot of varied material that eventually got rejected. I really don’t know what he’s talking about because he wasn’t there. Maybe the band and him couldn’t twist my arm on things, but Clive Davis on the phone can certainly twist your arm. You pretty much do as told.
Was Clive Davis scary back then?
When you’re 21, 22 years old and you’re just coming out of a squat and now you’re living in London and fancy hotels, I’m recording at AIR Studios, George Martin’s place, with Queen’s engineer, I’m like, “Whoa.” Of course, it’s overwhelming. So you go along with everything.
The credits for With Sympathy say you not only wrote “Should Have Known Better” but recorded every instrument yourself. Is that wrong?
That one’s all mine. And yeah, there’s some real pop flavor to a lot of that stuff that I was writing back then. I’d just found keyboards and fell in love with them, and so a lot of the stuff I was doing was getting away from my roots.
Before that, I was in a metal cover band, oddly enough, called Slayer. It came before Slayer, back in ’78. And by ’79, ’80, I was in Special Affect, which is very Gang of Four-ish. And then keyboards came out and I started writing poppier stuff. But all that stuff like “Every Day Is Halloween” was written in ’81, ’82.
What were you listening to around the time you wrote With Sympathy?
My taste is completely wacko, off the charts. I listened to everything from Yma Sumac to Gang of Four to Thelonious Monk, and then into Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks. Then Killing Joke came out, and that sealed the deal for me. It was just like, “No, I’m throwing out the synthesizers and I’m going to do a lot more guitar.”
I found an interview with you from 1982 where you said, “Chic is the best band ever as far as I’m concerned.”
Oh yeah, absolutely. I still feel that way. But like I said, I’m all over the map. There’s only two types of music: There’s good and there’s shit. I was hoping I was listening to the good shit.
You also described Ministry’s music by saying, “If you can’t dance to it, you’re either a cripple or disinterested.“
Well, back then I was DJing as well, so that was important to me. You had to make people dance and buy drinks, otherwise you’re out of here. So at the time, that was a much more important factor in my songwriting than it is today.
When is the last time you listened to With Sympathy?
About 40 years ago. I still haven’t. I’ve listened to the songs my band ambushed me with on the bus but the actual original versions, no. I burned those tapes on a barbecue. We had to start from scratch on doing this show because we had no stems, no guide to go by. I didn’t even know what songs were on the album, to be honest.
I was going to ask what you thought of your vocals on the album.
I’ve listened to some songs but not the whole album. I was singing in this high key register that I couldn’t pull off now at gunpoint. It just sounds so naïve to me.
On “Effigy,” you had a British affectation, singing about “me mom and me dad.” What was that about?
Well, I was living there. You’re obviously influenced by your environment, so I don’t feel bad about that. That’s how I spoke on an everyday basis when I was living there. By the time I was done with Twitch, I’d lived there two years.
“Effigy” was used in an episode of Euphoria a few years back. What do you think about how it appeals a new audience? Do you still ask fans to donate $1,000 to charity to sign it?
I’m happy to sign it now because I’m ready to own it. I’m ready to stop that haunting me.
You left Arista after With Sympathy. What happened?
I literally had to go to court and sue to leave. They offered me a lot of money to stay, and I was just like, no, no, no, no, because I couldn’t look into a mirror anymore. I didn’t feel like I was myself anymore.
What strikes you when you look at the photo of yourself in the album art for With Sympathy?
What strikes me is anger that my management was in literally cahoots with Arista. The record company basically said, “You need to cut your hair.” Then they took me to some place on Melrose here, flew me out, and picked out a bunch of sharkskin suits.
It makes me angry at the exploitation aspect of it. I just wasn’t down with the program: that particular photo shoot and that particular “Revenge” video, which is done by the guy that did all the Cure videos, because that was the flavor of the month.
Ministry’s drummer at the time, Stevo, is the only other person in the photo. When’s the last time you spoke with him?
About 35 years. And I haven’t talked to Bob Roberts in 40 years. Just went our separate ways and I decided to just forge my own path. I’ve been known to do that with Ministry.
Yeah, you’ve had a lot of band members.
Right after Filth Pig, I took a couple of years off to live with Timothy Leary and just do acid. I was sick of it. I was sick of Paul Barker, and now I’m working with Paul Barker again on our final album.
How did you two patch things up?
Well, we realized it was both of our ex-wives suing each other instead of us. He just moved close to me here. I have a recording studio in my house, so we’re going to start the final album together in June. We’re best buddies now. We should have always been, but literally it was two other people suing each other in our names. It was really bizarre.
Have you and Paul Barker talked about the final album?
Yeah, I just heard some of his ideas. What Ministry is doing now is kind of like arena rock — it’s just much more simple and guttural — where Barker is much more ethereal and it’s more like a Brian Eno–type. So the two styles combined is what makes Ministry “Ministry.” What he played me the other day was just extraordinary.
Will Paul be joining Ministry’s live band again?
He’ll be on the last tour without a doubt.
So the plan is to do Cruel World, re-record some of the With Sympathy songs and then do the final album with Paul Barker. Which songs from With Sympathy will you never play again?
“Say You’re Sorry,” “She’s Got a Cause” — yuck, just drips with just fakeness, sugar-coated pop. Those are the two that stand out right away. I’m sure I could come up with more, but I think there’s some solid ideas on there. I just think it was just sanitized so much that it was almost beyond recognition.
Have you run into Clive Davis at all in the past four decades?
Hell no. I don’t go to his [Grammy] parties and stuff. Trust me.
You’re cool with Paul Barker now, are you sure you and Clive —
No, Clive and I aren’t going to happen.
When do you plan on re-recording the With Sympathy songs you like?
As soon as we’re done with Cruel World, I go right in the studio. And most of these songs are already done because we had to re-record them just to know how we were going to sound. So they basically just need to be mixed. It’s just going to take me a couple of weeks. Then we shop it to the highest bidder, whoever wants it. And then at that point, I start working with Barker.
Since you’re planning Ministry’s final album, how are you seeing the end of the band?
I’m 65 now. I was hoping to retire at 65, but two years of Covid made it so I can’t afford that yet. So I’ll do another couple years, and then that’s it. There’s no point in touring. And touring gets harder as you’re older anyways, and I don’t really want to do the whole casino circuit.
All I really want to do is film scoring. I get to stay at my house, and I work out of my house. And so I’m just trying to wrap everything up with a nice little bow, exorcise all demons, and put Ministry to bed.
Your recent film score was for something related to Killers of the Flower Moon.
Yes, it’s called Long Knife. It follows up on Killers of the Flower Moon. Leo DiCaprio is narrating the documentary of this. His dad is executive producer, and I think Scorsese might be involved in this as well. It will come out next year.
Other than composing film scores, what does the Ministry retirement plan look like?
That’s it. If I’m not scoring, it’ll just be activism. Everyone knows my views are pretty left. I’m not divulging my medical records, so there might be underlying reasons why it’s also time to go. I’ll just put it at that.
In the interview you gave from 1982, you said: “A few things are for sure. It’s a fairly safe proposition. I’m not going to turn into a junkie or move away or have a girl ruin my life. I don’t want to do anything else. It will be Al Jourgensen and the music business till the death.” What do you think of that now?
As far as being a junkie, yeah, I blew that one. But everything I’ve done in my life has been ass backwards. I was born premature, yellow, completely jaundiced with liver failure, and 60 percent hearing loss. So what do I become, a drunken producer? It’s been 22 years since I touched any of that shit, coke or heroin or pills or any of that shit. I don’t touch that stuff. I watch people do it in front of me and just never relapsed either, never.
So yeah, I’ve lived a pretty backward life. Everything that I wasn’t supposed to do, I did. Everything I was supposed to do, I didn’t. I’m just as confused as anyone else is on this planet and just wondering why I’m even here. So when do I get my next assignment in the universe? When do I get a new planet to go to? Because I think they keep sending me back to this one on purpose just to piss me off, but here I am.
2024.05.09 18:16 dindyfrin Yabby Casino Review: Crypto-Friendly RTG Games & Instant Payouts
 | If you're in the market for a new online casino, look no further than Yabby Casino. This Curacao-licensed site offers solid gaming options powered by Real Time Gaming (RTG) software. While it may not be a top-tier operation, Yabby Casino stands out with some nice perks like instant cryptocurrency payouts and a decent selection of games. In this comprehensive review, we'll take a closer look at what this fun and quirky casino has to offer. submitted by dindyfrin to GambleWorld [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/h4owow3iefzc1.jpg?width=1915&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e40c78891504825ae169a8ebe745b1e53cb4822 Casino Background and HistoryYabby Casino came into existence in 2020. The name "Yabby" comes from a type of crayfish native to Australia, which is represented by the casino's blue crayfish mascot decked out in a croupier's suit.Don't let the odd name and mascot fool you though - Yabby is actually operated by the experienced Anden Online N.V group, which also operates many respected brands. So while new, Yabby has some veteran experience behind it.
Licensing and RegulationThe online gambling platform operates under a license issued by the Government of Curacao, a reputable regulatory authority that supervises the activities of numerous online casinos globally. The company implements rigorous security measures, such as state-of-the-art SSL encryption, robust password protection, and the aforementioned verification procedure during the registration process, to ensure the safety and integrity of its users' personal and financial information.Registration ProcessGetting started at Yabby is about as easy as it gets. The sign-up process is straightforward and can be completed in just a couple minutes. Here's how it works:
The one additional step comes when you go to request your first withdrawal. At that point, Yabby will ask you to upload some documents to fully verify your identity and age per standard Know-Your-Customer protocols. Typical items like a photo ID, utility bill, and proof of payment method will likely be needed. But as long as you have those handy, your account should be approved for payouts within a few business days once they review your documents. Mobile Compatibility and AppYou can easily access the full Yabby casino directly through your mobile web browser. The site automatically detects your device and presents the interface formatted for your screen size and operating system.The mobile casino provides the same account access, games, banking options and customer support as the desktop site. We spent quite a bit of time playing both the standard video slots as well as live dealer tables games during my review, and the performance was smooth across multiple iOS and Android devices. Game LibraryYabby definitely offers a solid games library. It covers all the major games you would want from an online casino, as well as a few niche categories.Software ProvidersThe games at Yabby are powered by two main software providers - Realtime Gaming (RTG) and Visionary iGaming.RTG is the veteran supplier handling the vast majority of the games including slots, table games, video poker, and specialty titles. They've been around for over two decades, continuously expanding their libraries and modernizing graphics/gameplay along the way. Visionary iGaming is the more recent addition, solely providing the live dealer platform for Yabby's live casino section. While neither provider is considered top-of-the-line industry-leading software, they more than get the job done by offering fully functional, fair games with solid production value. Slot Variety and QualityFor most online casino players, the slot selection is likely the biggest draw - and Yabby doesn't disappoint on this front.Their slots library currently weighs in at over 190 real money video slots spanning all sorts of themes and styles. You'll find traditional 3-reel classics, exotic 5-reel adventures, licensed titles based on movies/characters, progressive jackpot games, you name it. Some of the most popular slots include:
Table Game SelectionTable game fans are also well accounted for at Yabby with quality options for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, casino poker, and more.The blackjack selection is particularly extensive with over half a dozen unique variations to explore:
Baccarat, craps, casino poker variants like Let 'Em Ride and Caribbean Stud round out the table games. It's a comprehensive list that'll keep even the most ardent table gamers engaged for a long time. Live Dealer OptionsSpeaking of live dealers, Yabby's live casino section powered by Visionary iGaming allows you to experience the ultimate authentic casino environment from your computer or mobile device.You'll be able to pull up streamed tables for:
Bonuses and PromotionsFor many online casino players, the bonus offers and promotional incentives can be just as important as the game selection itself. After all, who doesn't love scoring some extra free value to extend their bankroll? Let's take a look at how Yabby stacks up in this crucial area:Welcome BonusTo attract new players, Yabby Casino offers a $70 free chip sign-up bonus for players from the United States, Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. Players from other countries can claim 70 free spins instead, with a $50 maximum cashout. The $70 free chip comes with a 40x playthrough requirement before any winnings can be cashed out, and is only valid on slots and keno games.Ongoing PromotionsOnce you've exhausted the welcome offer, Yabby aims to keep you engaged and playing with a steady stream of ongoing promotions. These can vary frequently, but some examples we noticed during our review included:
Overall, their promo game keeps things exciting with new value-added offers hitting your account on a regular basis. VIP Program / Loyalty RewardsFor those players sticking around long-term at Yabby, there is a multi-tiered VIP program that doles out increasingly valuable perks and benefits based on your overall level of play.The VIP levels start at the basic "Rookie" tier and progress through "Pro", "Star", "Prestige", and finally "Hall of Fame" status. Higher tiers unlock benefits like:
Banking and Payment OptionsHaving flexible and reliable banking options is crucial when it comes to financing your online casino game and hopefully receiving your winnings. Let's dive into how Yabby Casino stacks up in this important area.Deposit MethodsTo make a deposit at Yabby, players have access to a variety of methods beyond just standard credit cards. Of course, Visa and Mastercard are accepted for convenient fiat deposits.But one area where Yabby really shines is the ability to deposit using cryptocurrencies like:
Withdrawal MethodsThe withdrawal situation is a bit more limited, with cryptocurrencies really taking center stage as the preferred cashout method at Yabby.For fast digital payouts processed within minutes in many cases, you'll want to use Bitcoin or Litecoin as your cashout method. For larger wins, your limits may be higher if withdrawing to those crypto wallets versus traditional fiat payouts. While credit cards are accepted for deposits, there is no option to withdraw back to them. Players using non-crypto banking methods for cashouts will likely have to go the check by courier or bank wire transfer route. Payout Speed and ReliabilityOne of the biggest advantages of playing at Yabby Casino is the incredibly fast payout speeds - especially if you are a cryptocurrency user.The casino's terms clearly state that cryptocurrency withdrawals are processed instantly once approved and released by their payments team. And indeed, many players have reported receiving their Bitcoin, Litecoin or other crypto payouts within just minutes in some cases. Customer Support and SecurityOn the customer support side, Yabby provides several reliable channels to reach out through:
For more complex issues or non-time sensitive matters, Yabby's email support was also reliable with turnaround times typically under 24 hours. In terms of technical security, Yabby does use standard SSL encryption to protect all data transmitted through their site and cashier. This ensures your personal and financial information is scrambled and unreadable to any potential hackers or thieves. Pros and ConsTo summarize the overall appeal of Yabby, let's run through the key pros and cons that stuck out most during this review:
FAQsHow fast can I receive my withdrawal?If withdrawing via cryptocurrency (Bitcoin or Litecoin), payouts at Yabby happen almost instantly - often within just minutes after being processed.

2024.05.08 07:20 outlookindia04com Coronavirus hasn't slowed Hoiana's pre-opening
 | A major investor in Macau junkets at Vietnam's Hoiana Casino Project (artist rendering photo) said he did not expect the current coronavirus health warnings to affect the plan's "free soft opening." submitted by outlookindia04com to u/outlookindia04com [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ncpmsaxl05zc1.jpg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=501111bea6ba069539da38ae783b0ac60f53b9df SunCity Group said in a Dec. 31 press release that it expects Hoiana's Phase 1 project in Quang Nam, off the central coast of Vietnam, to be completed and opened within the first quarter of this year. Hong Kong-listed SunCity Group Holdings will manage the game at the site, according to a May 2019 filing. The latter company is controlled by Alvin Chow-Chukwah, SunCity Group Junkit President. On Tuesday, in response to GGRAsia's inquiry about the timeline of the plan in light of coronavirus warnings, a Suncity spokesperson said: "Our market positioning in Hoiana is quite different from Macau." The official added: "We believe [coronavirus alert] will not have an impact before the soft open if we secure [local] licenses on time." 메이저 토토사이트 The spokesperson also said "part of hotel rooms and casino operations will be ready" under the "free soft open" phase of the Hoana plan. Given the Suncity brand's strength in serving Chinese VIP gamblers, some industry watchers expected Hoiana to have a strong appeal to Chinese customers as well. The resort will not be able to accommodate local gamblers as expected by some casino plans under the current pilot project by the Vietnamese government. A December note from brokerage Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd on the pre-coronavirus outlook for the Macau market in 2020 said the agency did not expect the Suncity Group brand's China VIP business to "migrate" from Macau to Vietnam upon the opening of Hoiana. On Saturday, Vietnam's Civil Aviation Administration banned flights from China until further notice, in a move seen as an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Initially it included flights from Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the ban was lifted on the other three by the following day. On Tuesday, Vietnam reported that nearly 1,000 Vietnamese nationals returning from China had been placed in quarantine under the supervision of the Vietnamese military. Vietnam has confirmed a total of 10 coronavirus cases as of Wednesday, according to local media. More than 24,500 cases and 492 deaths have been reported globally as of Wednesday morning. An interim report from Suncity Group Holdings, released in September, said Hoana noted there would be seven phases to be developed over 13 years on the roughly 985.5-hectare (2,435 acres) site. The first phase will include more than 1,000 hotel rooms, casinos with 140 game tables and more than 300 slot machines, and golf courses, according to the filing. |

They meet with casino officials and shopped for land to build a casino, hotel & theme park complex in a joint venture with multimillion-dollar developer Barden Development Inc. of Detroit. They met with members of the Casino Control Commission and inspected a 600-acre site on the west end of St. Croix, one of the main islands in the U.S. Caribbean territory. Michael says he was considering investing in St. Croix because of "my love for this beautiful island and its people" When asked if the development would be similar to casino-hotel-theme park complexes in Vegas, he said he was still working on the concept "But it will be something very special for the people" 2000- Michael takes Prince & Paris to the famous Knie Circus in Zurich. Per reports (translation from German is a little off): Sunday evening, just after 5:30 p.m, the phone rings at Freddy Knie Jr. "A man asked if we still had short-term seats for the evening performance for Michael Jackson and his children, son Prince (age 3) and daughter Paris (age 2) and five bodyguards?" says Freddy Knie. "At first I thought it was a joke, said he shouldn't be the clown." The man said Jacko wasn't a clown. But he wanted to see clowns. Shortly after 6 p.m., two Mercedes limousines with dark windows pull up. "It was Jacko," said Franco Knie. Minutes after the start of the performance, the entourage scurries into the tent. During the break, the star and his entourage refresh themselves in the air-conditioned Knie caravan. Freddy Knie junior: "Jacko wanted nothing but popcorn for himself and his children. He is very personable and especially interested in animals. He wanted to know how we train the zebras. He was also very impressed by our family business. And that we will visit more than 50 cities in eight months" "From where? Where to?” Blick calls out to Jacko when he leaves the tent with his entourage three minutes before the end of the performance. "I'm from Kenya and I'm on my way to Monte Carlo," are the pop king's only words. Then he waves, gets into the limousine with his children - and he's gone.From Director Franco Knie: "During the break, Michael came to our trailer with his two children. He immediately took off the face mask. You can see the many operations on his face. Especially the nose. There are some patches on it. He wears the mask because of the microbes and because of the sawdust dust in the tent. Michael is rather shy but very personable. The elephants interested him the most. He keeps three African animals himself on his ranch in California. He wanted to know everything about the different characters of Indian and African elephants. He asked my son how he managed to keep his head under the foot of the elephant in the ring. Isn't he afraid? Three-year-old Prince Michael and two-year-old Paris Michael appear to be perfectly normal kids. Paris cried a little, probably because she was too warm. Jacko scolded her, told her to be quiet. He explained to us that the little one was very spoiled. He kept apologizing. Little Prince proudly showed me his shoes. Prince is blond and Paris is a dark-haired girl. Both of Jacko's children are white and have blue eyes.w w/Geraldine Katharina Knie 2003- Michael returns to Acapulco for a 3-day stay https://preview.redd.it/mqcm6tlzsmyc1.jpg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=545497e81889ce060cf2bfb40bc21cd5c5227df7 https://preview.redd.it/f6k27ta1tmyc1.jpg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e4428036f176ddf67887b4027f75e8bdea01a57 https://preview.redd.it/amjqatf2tmyc1.jpg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d263c2a998f4df8bc34a6778bca92e85ae120fdc https://preview.redd.it/goanalk3tmyc1.jpg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bca348e6ae12bf35c99b859964c338a2dde3c9be https://preview.redd.it/e6khha25tmyc1.jpg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3402e9534cd65fc34dc02697c48c894455db610e 2009 - Rehearsals for This Is It tour in Burbank, California. 2013- Day 6 of the Jackson vs AEG Live trial |
