Hawaiʻi just passed a new law that limits corporations' ability to engage in political campaigns. Let’s see this in other states.

Yo! #PaulMcCartney's new album #DungeonLane is great! I reviewed it for #GoldmineMagazine: www.goldminemag.com/reviews/albu...

This story has a quote from me that was completely made up. I reported that to the website who did — absolutely nothing. Beware! #Memesita www.memesita.com/donna-jean-g...

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

Whoda thought that film crews had so many interesting stories? I reviewed #CinematicImmunity for #BookAndFilmGlobe bookandfilmglobe.com/books/in-cin...

Such a delight to attend Film Noir's Face the Music series earlier this year in Seattle. It'll be playing in other cities as well. My story for #BookAndFilmGlobe @noirfoundation.bsky.social bookandfilmglobe.com/film/with-no...

I did not know Epstein on a boat I did not know Epstein with a goat I did not know Epstein in the air I did not know him anywhere!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth. My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

Well goodness me, I will be "in conversation" with #MelissaAufDerMaur when she's in Seattle on 4/24 @townhallseattle.bsky.social! We shall chat and take your questions. Hope to see you! townhallseattle.org/event/meliss...

Earlier this year, the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital became the Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital. The country icon might be all glitz and glam, but her contribution to the health center goes far beyond an applauding namesake. Details: rollingstone.com/music/music-...

BREAKING: Federal judge rules Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable.”

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to pause construction on its White House ballroom pending congressional authorization, throwing the $400 million project’s future into question.

He's cute, too! I'll bet he likes kitty cats.

my salon column this week!

See, this what you miss when you skip school.

Kitty sez: "Ha ha! My ploy for sympathy worked!"

So, I almost never use dictation software. But I was in a mood today and tried for bit. “Strait of Hormuz” came out “street of hormones,” which kind of makes sense …

Well, another week has passed and I have yet to use the word "jejune" in my writing. #ThePowerOfJejune

Haha, it's great that we're all waiting to see if the sitting President of the United States destroys the global economy tomorrow for no reason, right? This is fun. Love the suspense of all our lives hanging in the balance on the whims of an unstable, raging narcissist.

#StandardTime please come home! We miss you!

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Are your goals truly yours or shaped by what others think you should be doing? Don't be afraid to start over. This time you're not starting from scratch. You're starting from experience.

So let me get this straight: We can’t find the budget to pay our actual TSA agents, but we’ve got plenty of cash to bus in ICE agents with zero experience to do their jobs? Efficiency at its finest. What a slap in the face to the people who actually know what they’re doing.

“When the very rich so controlled the means of communication that it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions and so democracy would then be broken…” - attributed to Albert Einstein We have been here before, and we know what to do. RESIST!

Is it happening again?

okay i thought I'd write a few words and then I was up until 1am going through the book Townshend & Richard Barnes wrote about the making of the film: jukeboxgraduate.com/fun-facts-ab...

I wrote about the Elvis concert doc EPiC for #GoldmineMagazine: www.goldminemag.com/reviews/retu...

Imagine if instead of spending $1 billion a day on forever wars, we actually invested in one of America's oldest and most popular public services. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/17/nx-s1-5750419/usps-running-out-of-money-postal-service-david-steiner

While Dems are working to end this gov. shutdown by funding critical parts of DHS (TSA, FEMA, and cyber defense), Republicans are choosing chaos and fear instead. Thank you, Sen. Patty Murray, for standing strong and demanding accountability.

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday May this Monday bring small wins, kind moments, and a reason to smile when you least expect it.

OT: A few months ago the Threepenny Review asked me (along with others) to write a short essay on living in New York. It’s up now: threepennyreview.com/kr… But one passage I was pleased with reads a bit differently than when I wrote it:

I did a couple of articles on the Ono/Lennon Power to the People box set that came out last year for Goldmine's print issue. Now some of them are appearing online: www.goldminemag.com/reviews/box-...

Apologies, there seems to have been a communication error. What I heard was: “George, what flavour treatos would you like?” What apparently was said was: “NO George, you can’t have more treatos.” Easy mistake. Tuna please. 🐟

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Yes. ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.
