Yesterday Todd Snider passed away. Tonight I poured myself a drink and pulled East Nashville Skyline off off the shelf. Inside was a hand written note I swear, cross my heart, wasn’t there before. Honest to god. Then I sat in front of my speakers and cranked up the volume for “Play a Train Song.” 💔

True political art.

What’s that old saying? Something like “if you repeat a lie enough times people will believe it.” I don’t believe that …

For those of you unfamiliar with David Graeber now would be an excellent time to familiarize yourself with his work. You won’t regret it!

That’s the New York City I know and love ❣️

Bomb threats reported in New Jersey. Has everyone already forgotten this ?

If you are unfamiliar with Jess Piper I wholeheartedly recommend you look into the marvelous work she is doing!

This is Lyric. A more wondrous, loving thing never touched the earth. She brought joy and happiness everywhere she went and put a smile on the face of everyone who saw her. Truly the ultimate super power for a true super hero. The world is a lesser place now. The goduverse much, much greater.

Definitely reposting this sometime around Halloween …

This seems like an important thing to remember right about now:

Spectacular ❣️❣️❣️

It may not seem like it to you but getting beans like these in the mail is a big exciting deal in this household. Lots and lots of good eating in our future!

At first I thought this can’t be real. No way this is real, right ?!? I mean, this is just sooooo stupid …

I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Turns out Martha Stewart is more gangsta than Snoop!

What an amazing, inspiring human being❣️

I’m a possum, and I’m not here to cause trouble. In fact, I help more than you think. Every night, I can eat up to 2,000 ticks, along with other bugs that carry diseases. I also help control snakes, even the venomous ones.

10 years old … Absolutely horrifying.

One of the great things about Punk and early Rap/Hip Hop was how mad some people would get when you told them how great it was. Good times indeed. I asked Robert Christgau about the Angry Samoans, the most outrageous band ever and he answered. Pretty cool!

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

Sadness in the air this morning with the passing of Terence Stamp. Mid 60s London seems unimaginable without him. Pictured here with Jean Shrimpton his girlfriend at the time.

Fascinating read. More about human behavior, our relationship with food, and how that permeates every step of our interaction with it right down to the scientific level. It’s not exactly rocket science but if we try hard enough we can make it appear to be.

The beautiful woman in this fabulous photo is Thelma Bynem (aka Linda Martell) an American rhythm and blues/country singer. She released singles, a full length record, and played the Grand Ole Opry a dozen times. After music she took a job helping teach disabled children. A life well played.

The Queen of Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms just once a year at night and only for a few hours.

In case you’ve been wondering:

This is incredible reporting by Jon Karl. I wish we saw more of this kind of questioning

Hey Texas remember when yall said this? Yea me too by the way they took the money and used it to upgrade their police force

To recap: The people covering up a pedophile ring, who sent armed, masked men into our cities to abduct and incarcerate people in concentration camps, while gutting healthcare to pay for tax breaks for themselves and friends… …told you to blame DEI for our country’s problems.

Ok, so I’m not easily shocked but this has left me stunned. I mean really, WTF !?!

The accordion hands make yet another appearance …

Or even if you’re having a good day ❣️

And to think people said it didn’t exist …

Been looking forward to this event for weeks and it did not disappoint. Fave quote courtesy of Steve Keen: “Neo classical economists know as much about the climate as they do about the financial sector which is a small fraction of fuck all.” Well said!

Amazing!

149 years ago, members of the 7th Cavalry attacked what they though was a small group of unarmed Natives. Most of the US troops died with their leader, Lt Colonel George Custer, who is believed to have been killed by this woman, Buffalo Calf Road Woman. People will fight, when they must. #RFA

This what all the smart and cool people will be doing on their lunch break.

This is as beautiful as it is cold blooded and lethal. Not to mention honest and 💯 % accurate.

This can’t happen soon enough. Seriously, like an hour from now. Please.

Lyric, my beloved fur elder, can barely stand let alone walk. Yet every day when we go out for her morning constitutional she summons the time and effort to share her treasures in a perfectly straight, equidistant line. If only humans were as fastidious. She is the kindest, sweetest, being.

This week’s TYLS pic is the inimitable James Honeyman Scott, guitarist for The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde’s songs get more attention but what would “Brass in Pocket” or “Kid” be without James’ fret work?!? His guitar breaks are the stuff of legend. He is much missed but not forgotten.
