This dude is my kind of people

for my Salon column this week, I wrote about Bruce Springsteen's best protest songs: www.salon.com/2026/02/10/b...

Obsessed to learn about the Paralympic Winter Games mascot Milo, a stoat who is a vinyl DJ "born without one paw, but thanks to his creativity and strong will, he learned to use his tail and turn his difference into a strength." www.olympics.com/en/milano-co...

Billionaire wealth has jumped to a shocking $18.3 trillion in 2025. They're using their obscene fortunes to influence our economies, and politics in ways that benefit them—not the rest of us. One way to turn the tides? #TaxTheRich and make billionaires pay their fair share.

Mark Kelly texts me more than my wife when I’m running late for dinner plans.

Just signed a few books for lucky readers at the Hudson News at Newark Terminal A. I didn’t write any of these books, but still, what a surprise this will be.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, an activist who took part in Stonewall and remained an advocate for the decades that followed, including caring for AIDS patients & pioneering needle exchange & defending the rights of incarcerated trans people on both coasts, passed away. www.advocate.com/news/miss-ma...

I’ll tell you who should get the Nobel Peace Prize: it’s the person who invented the “undo send” button.

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

Dude is my hero.

The Senate tax bill threatens to reverse hard-won climate progress. It would increase U.S. carbon pollution by slashing incentives for clean energy—driving up global climate risks from floods, fires, and storms. 🧵 #ClimatePolicy #CleanEnergy #TaxBill #ClimateCrisis

Had a ball with the @oxfamamerica.bsky.social crew last weekend at #bonnaroo!

Praying that this zebra shows up at Bonnaroo next week

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

Don’t know who here can use this info, but Beyoncé tix for tonight at MetLife in NJ can be had for $50-$60 on StubHub right now.

I was in this documentary too, and it’s always been a ball to tell people “I was in a film with George Wendt”!

Even though the Trump administration is doing its best to destroy climate action, @oxfamamerica.bsky.social shares 5 reasons for hope for the fight for climate justice in the US 👇 www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...

I love all of these amazing stories about, and expressions of love for, Clem Burke. I wish we as a society could get comfortable about giving folks the same kind of love and props while they are alive to hear it all.

If you ask a friend the question “Can I kick it?” And they don’t answer with the exact three words “Yes you can”, are they even your friends? #atcq

Seriously, who else could play me?

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Aww man, such sad news. What an original, what an icon. I’ve lost track of how many times I’d seen David Jo over the years…solo, as Buster, The Dolls, every show was so good. And will never forget a fun little chat that he ended with, “Ok, be good…or be bad, I don’t care.” RIP, #davidjohansen

The first thing I see when I walk into my office every morning is this photo of #TheClash from 1979 in Boston, taken by #BobGruen. It’s a reminder to stay anti-fear, pro-inclusion, and to be the loudest voice in the room when standing up for what is right. Happy #InternationalClashDay, y’all!

Please join me in taking this action. It's SO easy to do.

A devastatingly beautiful record. I’m so lucky to have seen one of the shows on this record’s tour just before the band’s ultimate demise. So intense and awesome.

Really really enjoyed Robbie Williams’ #BetterMan. So bizarre, moving, and wonderful. The insanely fun dance sequence for “Rock DJ” was worth the price of the ticket alone. So glad I caught it in a theatre with great sound.

It's been bugging me for days. I've been trying to figure out who Mark Zuckerberg reminded me of and I finally realized it was Mrs Roper from Three's Company.🤦🏻‍♀️

The first few notes of when “I Need My Girl” by The National at the end of the new episode of #Shrinking today sent me to tears. Brilliant placement.

Did not realize until holiday decorations were up that my wife was such a big Oasis fan

I have 4 drones hovering over my neighborhood in North Jersey as I type this. SO weird and unnerving.

Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands is on BBC Scotland at 22:00 on Tuesday and will be on BBC iPlayer afterwards 🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👩‍👩‍👧‍👧📺 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Is there a greater joy in life than guessing correctly on the right day to cut open an avocado? It’s like winning the lottery but more delicious.

Came here to say the new #SimpleMinds documentary from BBC Scotland is pretty fantastic. Really well done. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

I love that @bsky.app openly encourages users to use alt text and mentions why it's great to use. Another +10 points for Blue Sky! 👍🏽 #Blind #disability #accessibility

Happy 40th anniversary today to Wham!’s “Last Christmas”! www.salon.com/2021/12/25/l...

Got to see the glorious return of Jesse Malin tonight at The Beacon, the first of 2 benefit shows in support of Jesse’s recovery. And yes, that’s Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Butch Walker and Danny Clinch with Jesse during the rave-up finale of The Clash’s “Rudie Can’t Fail”. What an evening.

Can confirm that the new Yacht Rock documentary on HBO Max is wonderful. Really well done. youtu.be/a55pyQsI3GQ

AEG: “Sike!”

So lucky to have been invited to watch the taping of The National Dog Show today. Such an incredible production, and so cool to see all the BTS stuff that Ive always wondered about. I’m sworn to secrecy on the winners but you can see for yourself on Thanksgiving Day on NBC

Had a friend show me his Dunkin Donuts app today with almost 18,000 points saved up and I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed with a human

Just let people like what they like unless they are being hateful or putting other people in danger. We lionize super fans of sports but then mock someone who wants to have breakfast with Winnie the Pooh

I’ve become the guy doing a quick dance with my wife while Sade plays on the overhead in the organic corn chip aisle in Trader Joe’s and I’m ok with it.

I’ve just realized that my wife and I attended David Bowie’s final public performance and my mind is blown. It was in 2007, when he introduced Ricky Gervais at the Theater at MSG in NYC, singing the “Chubby Little Loser” song from ‘Extras’. faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-bowie-...

I love NBC’s ad for the Paris Olympics using Plastic Bertrand’s epic “Ça Plane Pour MoI”, but isn’t he Belgian?

So stoked to see a physical copy of the Vinyl Me Please reissue of ZZ Top’s “Tres Hombres” LP for which I wrote the liner notes! Oh yeah! (thanks @bobferguson.bsky.social !)

For my NYC new waver friends: Never in a million years would I have predicted “Rosanna Scotto interviews Morrissey”. www.fox5ny.com/video/1298882

I feel like Lenny Kravitz owes INXS a few bucks for this new song #suicideblonde
