Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.
The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.
America really is dystopian as fuck.

Said goodbye to our sweet Gordy (Gordianus, The Gord, Gordon T. Pussycat) after 15 years. He was the most lovable gentleman and we miss him so much.

Sinners is such a treat of a film. Clever, layered, deep, creepy, and also fun. I love a movie that feels like it was made by someone who loves movies, and Ryan Coogler must have had a ball spinning Get Out and O Brother Where Art Thou into this meditation on binaries and the spaces between them.

I play solo sets of my own songs just infrequently enough that every time, I’m shocked by how long ago I wrote the bulk of my catalog. “No way are you ten years old now!” I’m like a divorced dad with intermittent custody of my own music.

Did not have “Pam Beesly talking about my band and their song” on my list this week, but I’m blown away. So much appreciation to @jennafischer.bsky.social and Angela Kinsey for sharing “Second Drink” by Pocket Bandits on @officeladies.bsky.social !

Sometimes, usually a few weeks to a few months after my wife starts pointing it out to me, I start to go “hmm, I wonder if I’m burned out?” Anyway just a random thought from my office chair after 15 minutes of blank staring.

This is the thing. In a world with a livable universal basic income, minimal IP rights would be fine.
In the current world, copyright is necessary to protect creative people against Disney, Amazon, and the rest.

My uncle is a big time IP lawyer in NYC. I cannot stress enough how taking away IP laws would benefit the wealthy who would steal and then out produce any ideas they find useful. Thus destroying all creatives and their livelihoods.

Can’t leave a voicemail for @schumer.senate.gov because the mailbox is full. Are y’all on a Sprint Mobile plan? Anyway, Musk and his goons need to be forcibly removed. Show some backbone for once.

Every day, I’m finding one thing that makes me hopeful and motivated for the future. Helps me stay grounded and active instead of despairing. Usually it’s something like a new setback to fascism, or an action I can take to resist.
Today, it’s my wife’s Randy Newman impression. #itsajungleoutthere
