I think this does not require an Instagram account to see. It does require a strong stomach, though.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

I think experimental improv music would be better if nobody used looper pedals. And maybe no delay pedals at all.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This may be a Hudson Valley thing, but trying to find a therapist who does not spend half their bio talking about woo-woo stuff is...a challenge.
I'm not looking for experimental dance therapy or shamanic soul retrieval. I'm just sad & anxious in a crazy world and would like some fucking science.

I hate Facebook for many reasons, one of the smallest being how it shuts non- account holders out of local info
My parents are cut off from so much info in their village because everyone puts events, news, council admin on Facebook.
Social media shouldn’t be public infrastructure

Went to 2:00 anti-ICE march in Kingston. Seemed well attended, but organizers told us speeches at 3, marching at *5*.
It's like NO fucking degrees out there.
I stuck it out through a bit of speechifying & left when inevitable folksinger arrived. County Exec Jen Metzger was there with NO HAT ON.

You go to war with the martyrs you have. This is now a pro-Don Lemon propaganda account and he is to be considered an unstoppable ubermensch until such time he is once again a free moron. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

Guy at Sunrise Bagels helped me get my card unstuck from their busted ATM. Then he said "so I guess you needed cash huh?" and told me to just get whatever I wanted and pay him back the next day (they are cash-only).
If you need me, I am blubbering like a baby on the floor at Sunrise Bagels.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.
Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Designed the new Joe Jackson album, Hope & Fury, out Apr 10. Thanks to Joe for brilliant concept & photo & for being a pleasure to work with. LP is fantastic.
I managed to get through several phone calls with Joe without gushing about learning bass by learning every song off his first few albums.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?
CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer
AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Pro tip from a book designer: If you think your prose's change of register requires changing typeface or running a whole passage in italics, I am here to say that 99% of the time the answer is "No." *Maybe* a space break. Possibly not even that.

Two thing I don't really like: Podcasts and long things.
One thing I like, but with *many* reservations: The Grateful Dead.
So I'm as surprised as anyone to recommend Deadcast, the official GD podcast, produced & narrated (and I assume written) by @bourgwick.bsky.social 1/2

Hardboiled nerds, word nerds: in Raymond Chandler’s THE HIGH WINDOW, Marlowe says, “the Lombardos are still doing all right,” seemingly to mean “cry me a river” or something. (There are no Lombardos in the story.) Anyone familiar with this expression, its meaning or source?
