I’ve learned not to assume that other guitarists already know what has taken me a lifetime of strumming to learn. My first and simplest piece of advice is to always tune your guitar before playing anything, as soon as you pick it up, tune up. It’s like a pre-flight check for an airplane. Tune first.

They tried to silence David Huerta. Instead, they ignited a movement. After federal agents violently arrested him during an ICE raid, unions across the country rose up. This could happen to any of us. That’s why solidarity matters.

American Labor Needed Unity. Then Came Trump’s Immigration Crackdown.
Trump has aimed to turn American workers against their immigrant colleagues. Union leaders say it backfired.

A friend in baseball once told me:
It's amazing how far away spring training feels on Dec. 31 ...
And how close it feels on Jan. 1
Just to prove that ...
The first spring training game of 2026 is 7 weeks from today!
Feel warmer yet?

I haven’t seen many new albums being released in 2026 so far and if this trend continues, it could be a very bad year for music. ☹️

I think @bylinetimes.bsky.social are onto something with their investigation of links between Epstein and Farage.

Thoughts about MTV after its final broadcast on 12/31/25. Hard to convey to the youngs how essential it was to the Gen Xers in the 1980s.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.
