Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists.
The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

Who doesn’t enjoy a sonorous Bach lullaby in the evening? Perhaps the world would be a better place if it travelled at the elegant pace of this Andante movement...
A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: A live performance by Augustin Hadelich of the Andante movement from Bach's Sonata No. 2 for Solo Violin in A minor.
Tell me, do you hear what one famous violinist heard in the eighth notes accompanying the melody throughout: "footprints in the snow"? See you around.
