The first concert I I ever attended as a teenager was a TMBG show. I thought it was too loud and I loved it. Now I am almost 49 and sitting in the audience watching a much older TMBG rock at The Neptune.
I still love it. :)

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Regressive tax hike on everything you buy plus tax cuts weighted toward the wealthy plus increased deficits plus slashing cuts to all public services and the social safety net... this is a very bad combination.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

(1/X) The next four years are likely to be a disaster in many regards: more plane crashes, more outbreaks of measles and other infectious diseases, snafus with tax refunds and Medicaid payments, terrorist attacks, and probably a recession.
The media will tell us none of it is Trump's fault...

The prologue to this book is one of my favorite pieces of writing anywhere. So sad to hear Tom has passed.
RIP Tom Robbins. A true literary wildman who painted the world in technicolor prose. Still Life with Woodpecker remains my favorite. An absolute masterclass in love, chaos, and the moon.
"Love is the ultimate outlaw"
RIP the world will be a sadder place without

Donald Trump is a bad person and I'm horrified that anyone voted for him. I'm not alone in feeling this way, but it still deserves to be said.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

It is very gratifying to finally have hard data on a phenomenon that we have all suspected to be the case since they started restricting mail and books from our groups.
Those unreliable drug tests jail officials use to justify banning physical mail bc they say people are getting mailed drug soaked letters… turn out to even more unreliable than previously reported
