The time for a spine
Democrats who censured Rep. Al Green are as clueless as they are feckless.

Today for @ianpoweromg.bsky.social’s birthday, I’m finally sharing this pic from 2023. Ian asks, “Why did you share this to stories when your other friends go on the grid??” It’s because this is a bad pic of me imo (check the alt text), but objectively the power of friendship wins out. HBD IHP!!

The band Third Eye Blind was underrated and I don’t care who I offend in saying that, whether it’s the fatcats in Washington or the bigwigs on Wall Street

When Bush and Cheney crashed the economy and occupied a Middle East country, they did so with civility. Now, as Trump and Musk prepare to do the same, I fear that same civility is nowhere to be found.

Mr. Rogers said "look for the helpers," but his advice was for CHILDREN.
If your ass is grown your role is to BE the helper.
I wish I could find the person who said this originally, but it's been too long.

In 1594, Thomas Nashe wrote this truth of the ages: ‘This trick is worth noting, that those whom he dare not united encounter, disjoined and divided he will one by one assail in their sleep.’ He was talking about the Devil, but the point stands for an awful lot of politicians. - #DICallaghan

absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Susan Alcorn, an incredibly gifted improviser, arranger, and musician who bridged so many musical worlds. We just hung out last week at her show in Baltimore with David Grubbs. I am in shock at this loss but grateful to her for her work and her example.
