Sturgill Simpson, aka Johnny Blue Skies, did his thing for 3 hours last at a steamy Knoxville hockey barn last night. My clips don’t do him just justice but here’s a bit of ‘Living the Dream’.
Casey’s brief anecdote about the Staple Singers reminded me of this wonderful book purchased in Memphis. #AT40

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.

This is mad king shit.

A torpid talk-up for an all-time terrible #AT40 tune.

How long will it take to refute the reams of garbage science pumped out by the pedophile president and his mutant minions?
Let's start with the Tylenol bullshit, from today's Sydney Morning Herald.

“Donald Trump is an extreme illustration of this dynamic. From a psychoanalytic perspective, his narcissism is malignant in the sense that it is organized around a profound inner emptiness.”

As someone who made a living as an advertising copywriter for 15 years, I’m awestruck by the unsung lyrics forever tattooed in my brain throughout “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.” #AT40

It is truly insane to me that our system has the means to end this insanity but the people who can effect it refuse to…even though we are now at a point where in cannot possibly be in their own interest to keep supporting this shitshow

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

In Melbourne, I worked with a woman who'd fled Venezuela with her husband when the nation's economy tanked. The plight of ordinary Venezuelans is the last thing on the orange fuckwit's mind, but this article details why many Venezuelans are happy Madero's gone.

Hilarious to hear whoever's sitting in for Scott Simon on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday criticise Maduro as a "bad guy doing bad to his people." HOW IN THE FUCK DOES HE THINK THE WORLD LOOKS AT TRUMP?

"But the one truth in Trump’s unhinged messages, as in so many of his statements, is that the United States is now led by someone who cannot contain his thoughts or emotions, and who still thinks of the men and women of the U.S. military as little more than his own toy soldiers."

Nine months ago, the perpetual dumpster fire known as MTG called NPR a "radical left-wing echo chamber" and "Communist propaganda machine." Today, NPR's Morning Edition referred to her "take-no-prisoners approach" like she's a courageous firebrand. This is how 'normal' dies in a democracy.

Slick, one of the two ‘community cats’ I’ve been feeding since June of last year. He struck this pose on a 25F/-4C morning a couple hours ago. He and his sister are TNR (trap/neuter/release) cats. Tougher than any humans I know.
