In addition to feeling utter rage, it’s beyond dismaying to learn what these men in the Epstein files really think of women. I want to smite them all with my flaming sword.

Unhinged

Dancing music notes, giant composer heads, paint tubes descending from the sky, technicolor caffettiere, cute gladiators, futuristic winter coat dresses. Italia!

Gosh it’s a beautiful world

@hcrichardson.bsky.social on Trumps disgusting and calculated racism. ‘Later tonight on Air Force One, Trump said that he had posted it himself. When a reporter asked if he would apologize, he said, “No, I didn’t make a mistake.”’

WTF

“Your mountainish inhumanity”

This 26 minute chat is wonderful, but I implore you to scroll to 22 minutes to see something truly *astonishing* Shakespeare’s poetry is ageless, and perhaps it is the power of the arts which might save us all from our current nightmare youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag?...

In a small win, a federal judge has released Hussien Noor Hussien, who runs a cab company in Burlington VT and was kidnapped by ICE at while waiting in his cab at the airport.

On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

How I learned about Libertarians: Yrs ago, a single mom in our village lost everything in a fire. There was a fundraiser and I sent it to a friend. He replied, why didn’t she have renters insurance? Why should her lack of responsibility be ours? Flabbergasted, I moved him off my friend list.

I am like a fish going around the bowl looking for and then rediscovering the search bar at the bottom of the iPhone screen, over and over.

This morning I skated to an island

Magnifique journée bleue à Montréal. Do I have to go home?

It’s my birthday on Monday. Do you know how old I am? Old enough that today, in a vintage store stocked with the fashions of my youth, my teenager asked me not to come in because I MIGHT RUIN THE VIBE

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE MUPPETS

I’ve granted permission to an ice skater and to a horse dressage team to compete while playing my music, and I bet these skaters are scrambling right now because they didn’t clear the music rights. I am sure there are rights owners who say no, or who say yes but only for huge $$$$.

Happy 89th birthday to Phillip Glass!

Is there something wrong with me that I get all excited and happy when it drops below 0F or is this just how you know you’re Canadian?

This. Remember they cut healthcare for this.

Ugly things are happening but it’s still a beautiful world. Call your Senators today and tell them to vote no on any more funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and to demand restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol and accountability for their actions.

Many moons ago I was 5 minutes into my performance before the Oracle World keynote when Larry Ellison heard me playing and apparently demanded someone go out and stop me. I got paid anyway but it’s the only time I’ve ever had a performance cut. I love for him that so many people are deleting TikTok.

To answer this question I asked “What should I do?” I’ve decided to help by supporting mutual aid networks - in my community and communities that are being targeted. Financial, organisational, logistical, whatever is needed. Build where they are trying to destroy. Love what they want us to hate

Mutual aid is an expression of love Love is an act of resistance

So sad and alarmed about what is happening out there but meanwhile, this arctic weekend followed by a foot of powder has been pure magic in Vermont. Thanks for that, universe.

I’ve called my reps (Sanders, Welch & Balint), again. What can I do next to stop ICE, impeach Noem, Hegseth, Bondi, release the Epstein files, stop tariffing and attacking sovereignty, restore gutted fed departments, remove the Insane Orangeman from office and bring criminal charges against him??

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

“Denial is the secret sauce in this town,” he said. “It’s the flavor that holds all the other ingredients together. Here’s what I tell the newly elected: the truth is going to get out – it always does – but it’s going to blend in with all the lies.” 1/2

Silver lining about the upcoming weather, I won’t have to do the mental conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit because at -40, they are the SAME

I remember a giant snow storm my senior year of college. Woke up to 2ft of snow on the 1st day of spring break. Campus dining was closed and it wasn’t possible to walk to town. I went in search of other students and we pooled our ramen supply. In contrast to today, we had NO IDEA a storm was coming.

I just learned the Muppet Show is coming back, for my birthday week. Best present ever, thank you!

I’ve had contractors working inside my house for months now and I have absolutely had it with feet, inches and EIGTHS

Hey Vermont peeps, the northern lights are still happening. 10 mins ago on the south end of Burlington VT

One remarkable thing about my 2 times at Davos, in addition to me just being there to begin with, was I had an all-access pass. Spouses and press were not allowed in the inner levels, but I was. I think being “just an artist” made me safe to talk to and I talked to some fascinating people.

He’s the king…the king of distraction

The northern lights, captured incredibly quickly so as not to get frostbite, at 5:50am at Perkins Pier in Burlington VT

I heard someone ask someone else “what radicalised you?” and I thought quietly to myself, what has NOT radicalised me?
