"I Was a Suburban Zombie!" 🧟♂️
A few years ago, when we were still new to town, my wife told me: "You've got to meet Diane's husband Allan. He's the first zombie in history to say, 'Braaaiiiiinnns....!'"
This is his story. And the story of Tarman.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.
My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

I always figured the first man-made thing to become sentient would be more sophisticated, but, no, it seems that distinction has fallen on the humble bathroom wipe.

I've been doing some unhealthy ruminating lately. Waking up thinking about Russia, our next elections, Social Security, and the impending collapse of our economy and society. I finally found something that makes me feel better: "Siri, play some protest music." Fills my sails to hear what I'm feeling

Today’s LA Times: “Creative entertainment occupations, such as writing and acting, are nearly 40% below 2022 levels….” I feel for my friends and colleagues in the industry. This is a bad one. I’ve gone through a couple of downturns and even prepared for a different career during one. Hang in there❤️

I am calling on Congress to reject corporate radio’s cynical Local Radio Freedom Act, a ploy by big corporations to avoid paying musical artists. I support the American Music Fairness Act instead. Please take a minute to contact your representative (below).

If you want to know what my wife and I have in common, as well as how we differ, you just need to know this: My wife and I each discovered the singer Aloe Blacc (who we both think is great) independently. Diane saw him perform at a political fundraiser. I saw him on the broadcast of the Rose Parade.

Fantastic interview about the nature (and future) of journalism. Many original (or at least new to me) ideas for getting good, useful information out to the public in this time of skepticism about legacy media. Merry Christmas!

Visiting Austin and had a late afternoon free. Went to a coffee shop to relax. Ended up sorting all the game cards in the basket. It was oddly calming.
