I’ve been a jacquard textile designer for over 35 years, but my true interests are food, drink, music, television, movies, books, comic books, science, and space exploration. I believe in facts and truth, and in peace, kindness, and compassion.
Lately I've been receiving one or two emails each day from Spotify, offering me one free month of a "personal AI DJ." As if that's something I might want.

* his many minions will claim to have "always opposed" him and demand sympathy for their suffering at his hands
* dancing in the streets, worldwide

Sydney Sweeney needs to be canceled, and it's disgusting that the Republican Party supports her.

Following yesterday’s passage of the Rapist-In-Chief’s budget, I’ll take the opportunity to repeat my mantra about America:
Always remember that we can NEVER afford to feed the hungry or heal the sick, but we ALWAYS have unlimited money for killing people and blowing shit up.

I've almost stopped taking photos at shows, but I felt like maybe if I'm seeing a Beatle I should have a pic to commemorate it.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things:
1. The US is not a trusted ally
2. Zelensky is a hero

A great article about a great show, but it goes farther than that: Many of us have a rough ride ahead. Don't forget to take enjoyment where you can find it. Stay inspired. Experience art. Create. And, to quote Valerie June, "Don't let motherfuckers steal your joy."

Every day, for the rest of recorded history, these United States will be a country that willingly and knowingly elected a rapist to the highest office in the land.

So our convicted felon of a prospective Rapist In Chief thinks he was treated unfairly, and I completely agree: Anyone else in his shoes would have been locked up long ago, and for a long, long time.
As I've said many times before, turns out some people *are* above the law.
