I love Todd Snider’s music and deeply enjoyed the few times I got to talk with him, including one early afternoon at a music festival when we were both just wandering around. I’ll write something soon, the first opportunity I can find. But here’s a quote from a 2012 interview I did with him. RIP.

Trying to imagine being in this room and hearing Decoration Day live for the very first time. Then having to wait an entire year for the album to come out to talk to folks about DD and Outfit.
Gives me chills.

For $10, you can buy Madi Diaz’s cover album of Blink 182’s Enema of the State, with all proceeds to the Defending Our Neighbors fund for immigrants and their families dealing with ICE’s bullshit.
Unsurprisingly, the tunes jam.

"Scared of Charlotte" is a whole new level of "scared of cities" that I'd never even considered possible
Rep. Pat Harrigan: "I have asked Josh Stein, our governor, to consider working with President Trump to allow the National Guard to come into Charlotte ... use the National Guard as a force multiplier and they can a lot of load off the Charlotte PD."

On Friday, Mick Fleetwood surprised fans by playing “Tusk” with the Trojan Marching Band. But Dr. Bartner, the 85-year-old band director who helped bring it to life and earned USC two platinum, albums also surprised Mick. Inside the very L.A. story of the iconic “Tusk.”

The idea initially sounded so far-fetched band directors thought it was a prank. But the collaboration became a sensation.

Kyrgios has a history of belittling women and plead guilty to physically abusing his partner. Pitting Sabalenka against him in the name of empowering women doesn’t make sense.
And if she wins, it’ll get brushed aside because he’s 652nd in the world.

Entire offseason to go, but “the Braves aim to be a top-5 payroll in baseball” and “the Braves decline to spend a combined ~$11M on 2 good relievers for next season” both doesn’t mesh and doesn’t give a ton of optimism.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."
