Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

When Jimi Hendrix was asked, “How does it feel to be the best guitar player in London?” he replied, “I don’t know, ask Rory Gallagher.” #musicsky

Once again.

You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace. #musicsky

Every time I hear this Chrissie Hynde cover of Nick Drake’s River Man I swoon. Her voice sounds so luscious on this album! Released 2019 Air Studios Sarm Studios (London) #musicsky

Cheers

I'm a huge DJ Shadow fan, he's the GOAT for pulling pieces and putting together new, original music. But this piece, from 10 years ago with Run The Jewels, more accurately predicted the Trump political era than any TV pundits. Eerily prescient. #musicsky #politics #rap

The amazing kestrel is capable of remaining almost motionless in the air, stabilizing itself by adjusting the position of its wings and tail according to the wind and air currents. #WildlifeWednesday

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

He's got all the money He's got all the whiskey He's got all the women He's got all the power Bobby Charles auditioned over the telephone and was signed by Chess records when he was still in high school. The backing band on this album was none other than The Band PLUS Leon Russell! #musicsky

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Not too shabby, Montana. Our unseasonably warm winter has brought forth some different dog walking terrain (at least for February)! #montana

A remarkable cover of this iconic song. Karen O (yeah yeah yeahs, where the wild things are and a zillion other projects) and Willie freaking Nelson showing how fearless they both are. #musicsky #underpressure

This Is Not America #musicsky

NEW: In a revelation that undercuts the GOP narrative of widespread noncitizen voting in elections, a Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one apparent noncitizen on the rolls — and they never even voted.

Happy Birthday Dolly! #musicsky

Jangly music about whiskey is kind of my sweet spot 🥃 #musicsky

N.I.C.E. Be more like Canada 🇨🇦

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Tariffs' fingerprints smudge goods prices. #econsky

And to think entire #World🌐 suffers because of one little #Orange🍊Prick from the country🇺🇸 that is armed by their #Constitution in case anything like that should happen. I cant decide if its tragic ,sad-or super funny. #Unbelievable

I've been known to enjoy a nice, aged rum on the rocks from time to time, and picked up a bottle of Flora de Cana over the holidays. I was shocked to read that their labor practices are resulting in an epidemic of chronic kidney disease in Nicaragua. I don't think I'll buy this rum any longer.

The bass in this song is so so so good. Cleveland Eaton is as groovy as it gets. #musicsky

Woo hoo thanks #VinylSanta!! So happy to find Pat Metheny and Dinah Washington in here with Gilda, the Call and Cannard! And best of all, a beloved copy of Pink Floyd Animals, which was literally the first album I spent money on but that was on 8-track 🤪 so I didn’t have it on vinyl yet. Love!

Eat like it's 1976! I grew up on this boozy rum cake, where for a good while the recipe was printed on the Bacardi label. My local liquor store even breaks this out at the holidays for its customers! Works really well subbing bourbon for rum, too! #foodsky #cake

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

A2: OK, the good: I found Salmon Flies on the washed out section of the Gardiner River in July in Yellowstone! Some people think they’re ugly, but I think they’re beautiful. Technically, I broke my back on this day taking what I would call a cartoon fall, which is probably bad? #parkchat

Hey MT holiday shoppers! If you find yourself in SW MT doing some holiday shopping, be sure to to visit The Wax Museum, voted Montana's best record store! Tons of carefully curated new vinyl records and stacks of 99 cent records. Lots of weird stuff! 533 East Mendenhall St., Bozeman #mtnews

Same headline. Seven years apart. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Pete Drake created a functional talk box using a speaker, funnel, and tube, making it a hit with his 1964 song "Forever." He reportedly introduced the device to Peter Frampton during the recording of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass." This clip is downright Lynchian.

Have you been good, or will we be seeing Krampus tonight?
