Okay, so the performances of the National Anthem and God Bless America were terrific. But, damn, I could do without face-lift Tom Cruise.

Cmon GOP leaders, listen to Oberst:

"It takes a lot of gall to try to please
These dehumanizing entities
I befriended all my enemies
They had my back against the wall
Oh, a coward is what a coward does
I suppose maybe I always was
But I'm sick of it, I've had enough
And now I'm ready for the war."

I made this over the weekend and it was terrific...and vegan! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024...

Hey @jay.bsky.team, how about producing a Facebook alternative? We’d love you for it! :)

Now that Zuckerberg has decided to go the way of Musk/X, does anyone know of any decent alternative to Facebook? I really like the idea of the platform -- it's a great way to interact with old and new friends, have good conversations, share photos, etc.

This series of interviews with an articulate, energetic eight-year-old living in Gaza is wonderful. The contrast between what this poor girl is living through and her otherwise normal interests and concerns for a child her age is remarkable.

We could make it happen!

While I'm happy that Bluesky is having such success, I confess to wondering if we've not created a liberal/progressive bubble. A serious problem with our current climate is that we tend to only hear voices that reinforce our own views. What do you think? Is Bluesky broader than I'm thinking?

Not sure how many of y'all Blue Sky friends are interested in Americana music. But if you are and you haven't listened to Jason Isbell's Live at the Ryman, Vol 2, you might oughta correct that. It's one of the best live albums I've ever heard.
