"I told the nurse I jog three days a week, play soccer, lift weights, and take spin classes. She just giggled. Honestly, I’m used to it. It was kind of annoying when she took my blood pressure four times, though." buff.ly/bcx3OS1

From 2024: “Pogue takes photographs that are open-eyed and unblinking views of what many would rather not see.”

Why did I have to find out about this on TikTok?

This is a song that has been stuck in my head since I was a child. I was a huge Electric Company fan! I didn't know it was Tom Lehrer until I was in my 50s. What a funny, quizzical, smarty-pants fellow he was. RIP 💔

This week on The Africa Express I'm back with records that I picked up on my travels including Balka Sound! You can tune in right now at KOOP.org or click on the archive on our show page to listen later!

In limbo at the Tax Office in TX for car registration and I miss the Danbury, CT DMV. Snack bar! Signed celebrity photos! One time waiting I sat across from Willam Styron who was getting his licence renewed!

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, though this sign is an apt metaphor for my current health status.

I got to catch Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas (seen here wearing my dream shirt) last night and it was fantastic. The band was 🔥. If they come 'round your way, go see them - the band alone is worth it. Taylor/Thomas deep dive next Friday on The Africa Express!

My totally badass friend Janet needs your help to fund her next comic book project, which is also totally badass. Take a look!!

I'm not a random out-loud laugher, but hearing tell that they're starting to look for a new defense secretary got me so bad that I was getting concerned looks from adjacent drivers. 😂

Is this anywhere in Dan Patrick's legislative priorities list? Haha no. But numbers 10, 11, and 13 are hanging the 10 commandments and mandatory prayer time in schools and banning books, respectively. Prioritizing children, indeed.

I don't think anyone pays attention to me on here so I'm going to tell a little story. 🧵

I've spent most of today coming to terms with the CRM I use at my job can't produce the data I need "organically" through their interface. The result for me is manually going through our data and compiling my own reports making my job exponentially more difficult. Meanwhile, have a meme.

I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

Trump FTC getting ready to go after social media companies (I'm sure it will skip ExTwitter, and possibly now Meta) for their First Amendment protected editorial discretion. www.regulations.gov/document/FTC...

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

Spot on. I am 30 seconds away from proper dissociation from (waves hands) all of this.
