I like good music, movies and old comic books.

All I wanted was a Pepsi.

Aja is back from South America. Jillian and I are making pancakes. Listening to Abacab by Genesis. It’s a good Sunday.

Trump doesn't care about high prices or your healthcare. He’s making money for himself and his rich friends. MAGA got played (again). 🤡

Jillian and I back to making pancakes. Listening to Ace Frehley’s solo album. The only KISS solo album worth listening to.

Making breakfast listening to Steve Earle’s terrific album The Revolution Starts Now. Cover art by Chicago’s Tony Fitzpatrick who passed yesterday. I first became aware of Tony when he did Drive In Reviews with Buzz Killman I’ve been a fan ever since. Rest In Power

I have never committed to anything in my life the way boomers commit to flooding Facebook with AI slop like it’s their patriotic duty.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

Taking a break in our busy weekend for pancakes, bacon and Bob Vylan’s album Humble As The Sun. A good mix of hip hop and rock.

Kicking off Sunday the right way: pancakes sizzling, sausage crackling, and playing The Magic of The Majestic Arrows. In the early 70’s, The Majestic Arrows had a regional hit in Chicago with “The Magic of Your Love”.

A debate is when two people argue but are not at cross-purpose. Kirk’s last argument was the 2A shouldn’t apply to trans people b/c he accused them of being more dangerous. His opponent came with real data that empirically shows otherwise. Calling it a debate implies Kirk was there to be swayed.
Clay Travis: "They couldn't out-debate Charlie Kirk, and so they tried to kill him."

Jillian and I starting Labor Day with a long drive followed by pancakes and Star Collector’s new album Everything Must Go. These guys are consistently putting out good tunes.

Starting our day with pancakes and the album Los Angeles, by Lol Tolhurst (formerly of The Cure). I tried to get a dance party going but Aja & Jillian weren’t having it

Now that Jillian is home from summer camp we return to our new routine. Driving lessons then breakfast. Pancakes and bacon paired with Butter08’s album Butter.

Making pancakes for Jillian and her pals. Listening to Wet Leg’s new album moisturizer. Nothing as catchy as “Chaise Lounge” still a really good album.

It’s too darn hot. Not to hot for pancakes and outlaw country. Listening to Waylon Jennings’ album Ramblin’ Man. I’ve had this album on repeat all week.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Pancakes are an easy choice for breakfast. Tough choice on this morning’s album. Landed on Brian Wilson’s Smile. Thirty something years after starting the follow up to Pet Sounds, Brian finally released his vision of Smile.

Jillian taking time out from her busy weekend of spending all day at Lockport’s Canal Days. Making pancakes listening to The Freedom Affair’s self titled new album. I remain a sucker for new bands that sound like soul bands from the 60’s & 70’s.
