Just russia pursuing peace, right?
Tonight the logistics center of Novus, a major supermarket chain, was destroyed
It was the company’s only one
The warehouse stopped operating completely, the scale of damage is being assessed

5 people were killed in this attack
russia is a terrorist state
Let it burn in hell

If cricket tests had ended in 2 days when I was a kid, I possibly would have watched more cricket.

Instead we had to suffer through the awful dullness of Geoffrey Boycott.

I have a challenge.

I have a good song, but I wrote the words, and then fed it through an AI music platform.

My words, not my music, not my voice.

I decided which one I liked, and I will be singing it myself later.

It is non-PG language content.

Where can I publish it? #AImusic #nusic

Okay... it had to be done... I guess???

Friends, we're ok
This morning I went to the market in the nearby area
I saw the burnt apartments right beside the house of my late friend Serhiy my son's godfather
This residential building was damaged during the last massive attack
It's about 2km from my house
Poor people without homes 😿

The start of summer is getting more unusual by the year. This is not springtime in November weather.

Seems as if everything was fine until it was her in the crosshairs. But she still believes all kinds of crazy stuff, like Jewish Space Lasers.
We’re truly living in the upside down. MTG just apologized on CNN for her role in spreading “toxic politics” after she received death threats from MAGA supporters.

Well, it's true, NYC must be a wonderful city.

Music history. As in, old old music you might want to check out...

Duane Eddy... he plays the guitar, and his stuff is instrumental. Lots of pseudo party hollering and hooting, too. Check out "Rebel Rouser" (not by Sweet, although their song is good, too.)

TISM... smartarses, and good at it.

Let's celebrate single handed podcast production, and home-made content.

Well, I can say that I got emotional at exactly the same moments the second time I saw #DeliverMeFromNowhere as I did the first time. #BruceSpringsteen

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

I do love driving in the car by myself, but I'm either listening to the radio, or speaking my thoughts out loud. Sometimes I'm pretending to make a podcast or interview... it does give me lines for songs every now and then.

"Deliver Me From Nowhere" is a pretty good portrait of creativity. I guess it hit me that, apart from the music, Bruce is a lot like my Dad.

Just so we're absolutely clear, Americans are massively UNDER reacting to what's being done to their country right now.

Tomorrow I'm going to see, "Deliver Me From Nowhere".

I know some of the background to "Nebraska". But I have my own relationship with the album. "Born In The USA" was my first Springsteen album, and 1986 saw me buying every past album, but shied away from "Nebraska", yet it's the easiest to access

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Hyperlapse from the No Kings rally in Iowa City. Our town has a population of about 80,000 and this is a tiny sliver of the march. #nokings

MAGA asking, "What is the point of 'No Kings'? America doesn't have Kings," and then posting AI generated videos of Trump with a crown and saying, "Dems, here's your King, now bow," is just that right amount of self-own we know and expect from them.

So glad to see the news out of the US today is bright as the #NoKings makes glowing headlines.
