This article helps explain why I enjoy listening to the Grateful Dead.

Sad news

@kamalaharris.com told us exactly what would happen.

A poem by Amanda Gorman For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE on January 7th, 2026

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Trump is clearly lying. Again.

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

Hey Siri - give me an example of double-speak

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

I sure wish we had a functioning congress right now. My representative, Bill Huizenga, is worthless and he has yet to stand up to Trump over anything.

This is so heartening.

I've seen others ( @primarily_prog ) list one top album from each of the last 25 years so I thought I'd give it a try. Notes: 1) this is today's list, tomorrow might be different. 2) I give precedence to studio albums and to groups who were not on the list previously.

Donald Trump has effectively started a war with Venezuela. The media just asks "can he do that?" while Congress ignores the question.

Having watched the recent Taylor Swift stuff, I'm beginning to think she is perhaps a Bob Dylan-level lyricist.

It sure would be nice to hit 1000 followers yet this year!

I really enjoyed this book.

I try to listen to albums that were released 60, 55, 50 etc years ago and as I'm making my 1971 playlist I'm blown away by the number of albums that were absolutely formative for me that came out that year, the year I turned 17. A partial list: (1/6)

The DOJ is not even trying to hide that it functions as Trump's personal law firm

The corruption is staggering.

Hey Deadheads, help me out. Of the four Dave's picks from 2025 I have the hardest time getting into #53. Hello me out - what am I missing? #gratefuldead

The thing about RFK jr. being a terrible head of health and human services is like…yeah. Yeah, he is literally the worst possible person for the job.

Congressional Republicans just made health care more expensive for millions of Americans.

Trump can't even put aside his poor-me attitude for a second in the wake of a senseless murder.

Sorry guys, I know I’ve been quiet this week, but I’ve been recovering from shaking too many hands

The RFK, jr effect.

I have really enjoyed Pluribus and then this latest episode was just so good! What a long run up to a brilliant last 30 seconds.

Priceless youtu.be/k-XBpm1uJII?...

It is almost impossible to keep up with the fraud and corruption of this administration

perfect

One of the things I like about advent is that I get to do music based on the Song of Mary and say all these anti-MAGA things out loud in church and get away with it.

I've been listening to the Grateful Dead ever since a friend bought Europe '72 soon after it came out when we were in college together. So I wasn't on the bus right away, but I've been there for a long time.

Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican Party. Where fear and intimidation rules.

I don’t live in TN but I have friends who do. Please vote for Aftyn.

Hooray for Bohacek

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Release the MRI results

Maybe, just maybe, instead of stopping everyone from certain parts of the world to come to the US we should do something about the guns that are used to shoot people. But no, we'd rather put an additional 550 troops in DC than do a single thing about the gun problem. Lunacy.

Reflection on episode one of the Beatles Anthology 2025: The picture is amazingly clear, the sound is wonderful and the edits and additions make the story easier to follow for non-fans and the pacing is better. A big win from my perspective.

Possibly unpopular opinion: I think the Grateful Dead’s Harper College 1970 show (Dick’s Picks 8) is over-rated. One of my least favorite of the series.

@carmenjoyimes.bsky.social Your profile popped up on my Facebook and I noted that not only do we have some people in common but you attended Denver Christian Schools. I taught there for 11 years and could not resist reaching out.

This sort of incompetence happens again and again in the Trump administration because he makes appointments primarily because of allegiance to him and a willingness to do what he asks rather than experience and a proven track record in the field.

Looking for a fun read? Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers is on sale for the Kindle for just $1.99. I really enjoyed it. www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4513BR...

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?
