To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Build #4 in the works. Curly shedua, dual precision, jazz body. Neck will be red zebra on walnut.

So we're calling these guys the "Liquor Cabinet"?

Project #2. Stained swamp ash body with curly maple neck. Triple D'Marzio Relentess pickups going in with selector switches.

Project #3. Zebrawood body with maple neck. Will have 2 soapbar ceramic pickups.

Sorry for being anxious. I know facts and information.

Senior administration officials had to explain to Senile Satan that he’s been negotiating with patio umbrellas at Mar-a-Lago for weeks. “I thought they were Iranians!” he screamed.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

I have played the Virtual Boy so that you don’t have to! The reports from the 90s are accurate and it does indeed cause headaches.

Felt like it took forever, but finished my first build. Ash body, Goncola Alves neck. Antiquity II 50s pickups.

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. -Voltaire

“God damn them all.”

Starting the build on my the next one. Custom ash body by Madland Instruments with grain fill. Custom Goncola Alves neck by Warmoth. It will have dual S-D Antiquity IIs.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Snatched this Epiphone EB-3 from a local shop. I'll upgrade the bridge and order some Curtis Novak pickups. Have to solve the neck dive problem too.

Bass project #2,491,452 is taking shape.

Replaced the stock pickups with a set of SD Geezer Butlers on the Yamaha. She growls 😎

Well

I changed out the stock pups with Bartolini M34CNC's with the HR-5.2AP/918 pre-amp. Oof!

Added to the collection. Michael Kelly Pinnacle and Sandberg Electra TT

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off. I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Truth

A little color never hurts...

Yeah, I did.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

David Letterman on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension: “You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful, or because you’re trying to suck up to an authoritarian— a criminal—administration in the Oval Office.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

I figured out how to annoy my neighbors.

I think I'm done now. Probably.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

New toy arrived today 😬

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned. Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

Someday I'll stop buying basses. Not today, but someday.

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

Sign of the day…

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

That’s a NO.
