In Trump’s America, billionaire and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is a kind of shadow president. Meanwhile, the Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

I would love to wake up in a world where social media thrives on community interactions that help us be able to find and discover amazing new music, art and the like. Sadly, fascism keeps getting in the way. Fuckers. Pardon my upcoming posts that will veer politically focused… (1 of several)

All the Prime Day promotions were a good reminder to cancel my subscription. ✅

Also, Prime Day? More like Prime Days. Amazon is like a teenage girl who celebrates a birthday week. Is it a day? THAT MEANS ONE DAY.

Happy Juneteenth! The Roots did a Schoolhouse Rock style tribute on Blackish and is worth a watch if you missed it.

“That the ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag is being flown on a government building alongside the American flag should be shocking to anyone who doesn't wish to live in a theocracy,” says Jon Lewis, a research fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
Far-Right ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Flag Seen at Jan. 6 Riot Flown Above Government Agency in DC
The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

I know people like to speculate on burn out and quiet quitting in tech, but really - given data like this, isn’t it obvious why? the work life balance struggle is real and systemic.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Beautiful statement by a gentleman with the utmost integrity.
My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.

When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Rockefeller gave away ~50% of his wealth to build schools, public health, and science. Musk & Bezos? Less than 2% so far—focused on rockets, AI, and climate.

Are billionaires redefining philanthropy—or just hoarding?

Chart below. Thoughts?

If I were to update the lyrics to Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” to reflect my experience driving in Oakland, CA, earlier this week, I would have to change the “Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac” line with “a giant MILF HUNTER sticker on pickup truck.”

Aubrey Plaza would kill it as Natalie Wood in a biopic. Just sayin’…

Who would make a good Christopher Walken or Robert Wagner?

I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.

One week left until we head into the studio to record the new album and the power at the rehearsal space went out AGAIN! 2 out of the last 3 nights… it eventually came back on tonight but we also made good use of the down time

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

Stoked to be heading into record in the amazing Hyde Street Studios next week with @societyofrockets.bandcamp.com . I was there for mixing the last album but this will be my first time behind the kit. Can’t wait!
