Naturally my first post here is to flog my book. Read it - it's pretty damn good!

On this absolutely joyless day, indulge me in a bit of humor. This Emmet Swimming song (produced by Don Dixon) might be 30 years old, but it still slaps.

You should watch the whole video. This is absolutely criminal action from Fed forces and is happening multiple times a day across multiple cities.
We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

It’s time to tap into your internal lesbian anger! Even if you’re straight. Now is the time to fight for your 1st Amendment rights! Let’s go!

you’re all making jokes but the reason Greg Bovino was removed from duty is a safety issue we all need to take seriously

Man, I would love to see this exhibit. So much of our vision of LA (for those of us that don't live there) is based on post-WWII views. The reminder that the LA landscape was dominated by oil derricks and orange groves feels astonishing.

I'm pretty sure that the last time I settled in to watch 7 straight hours of football was this weekend last year. Pulling for Drake "Drake Maye" Maye's Pats and my childhood faves, the Rams.

The people that warned us for decades that the Feds were a bunch of "jack-booted thugs" are now the jack-booted thugs.

Other people go have a drink after a loss like this but Aaron Rodgers is going to go out there and get measles

Chris Hayes jumping up and down on Aaron Rodgers and I'm totally here for it.

Hats off to Terry Gannon - his throw-away "What song is it you want to hear?" during the US Men's Figure Skating Championships before Hiwatashi did his short routine go "Free Bird" was /* chef's kiss */

It's January 3rd and we already have a top contender for skeet of the year. It has everything: the Fed up newscaster, the slamming of papers, the timing with the jingle, and a concise caption that acknowledges a universal mood. Everything comes together in perfect harmony.

More Women Who Rock Day 43

Lots of actors dabble in rock and roll. Some stop acting and just play music (what's the last thing you saw Taylor Momsen in?). Juliette Lewis seems to have been serious about both.

Amyl & the Sniffers make outstanding music, but they're also a 2025 standout for standing by their fans & supporting live music venues; after a free Melbourne gig was cancelled at the last minute, the band turned their performance fee into bar tabs at seven local joints, covering $35K in free drinks

I've been looking forward to posting this one. No, it's not rock - it's just fun! No idea where singer-songwriter Meels is from (pretty sure it's NOT Nashville).
