Good morrow, friends. Saint Valentine is past; Begin these wood-birds but to couple now?

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Today I become a film star. Well, hardly, but the documentary based on my 2022 London theatre presentation Beatles/Evolver:62 is available from Amazon Prime, 108 minutes of surprising and engaging cultural history for the price of a coffee. In the UK the URL is www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/det...

These lovely pieces, by @solexposure.bsky.social, are going to be heading my way soon. 😊 They remind me of (mini) Rothkos, while remaining entirely their own thing. Anyhow. Support artists, fuck AI.

Just made the “Tropical Waters” painting available in the store!

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

Hop in the time machine. We're going back to February 5, 1977 for another Casey Kasem American Top 40 flashback #AT40. Who will be #1? Listen to Casey on SiriusXM 70s on 7, and follow this 🧵 to find out.

Go to, sir, you were beaten in Italy

I rarely post about life in Portugal. Here’s your social media cleanse Invited to meet some Portuguese neighbors at a favorite hangout for music. Seems a bit dodgy from the street. My SLC peeps will understand when I say it’s very much like Kilby Court back in the day It oozes creative energy 1)

Into the light, my boy and I & Silent night in Holmajärvi. Acrylics on canvas board. Trying to learn.

Don’t worry About a thing Every little thing Is gonna be alright

It really do recommend making your shitty day the problem of your shitty senator's voicemail every night, it doesn't have to be a chore. It is a actually cathartic

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels. In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

Not knowing who she was, I asked Marie Osmond if she wanted to meet me at a bar later for drinks. She said “no”, but in the nicest possible way.

Some more more random hares.

It's even dog o'clock for Xmas!

I haven't been very active here for several months, because I've been working on a new book. Soon I will be able to tell you about it. Is anyone out there interested?

3) As a result of these two things, in 1971 John Lennon and Yoko Ono write "Happy Xmas (War is Over)", with a melody inspired by Harrison's song, and Spector produces it. It's released in the US too late to be a big hit, and only charts moderately.

I think it's actually down to the way in the 1960s Britain caught on to American culture at a bit of a time-lag, plus the breakup of the Beatles. I shall explain in a thread.

a few skeets from this year... a retrospective

Okay, as promised, here are my 25 boardgames that would make good presents for historians or the historically-inclined. - I've played them and enjoyed them - They have to have a historical theme or be related to the practice of history - They were within the first 25 I thought of...

Thei did a studye and founde out who ys awesome and capable of great thinges and worthye of love and the newes ys that it ys you.

The coordinates are set... #fanart

Do you think Sundance has a pretty smile 😍?? @ataokennel.bsky.social

One quick note, the antihistamine protocol will not help most people with anything other than the COVID vaccine. For shingles, the preventative is to be INCREDIBLY super hydrated! Like, "peeing waterfalls" levels of hydrated.

Same headline. Seven years apart. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Have you ever heard of Reginald F Lewis? Probably not, and I believe that's by design, as Black erasure is endemic in America. Reginald F Lewis was the first Black person to build a billion dollar company, TLC Beatrice. It was also the first Black owned company to crack the fortune 500. short 🧵

Great thread! Ebony and Jet magazines chronicled his every move when he was at the height of his career. 🧵

I have planned & hosted these ceremonies at two different jobs, and I can 100% confirm that @kevinmkruse.bsky.social is 100% correct. And I would guess that probably 90% of people born in this country couldn’t pass the citizenship exam that new Americans have to pass to be naturalized.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

And if you have 10 minutes to spare, you should absolutely go watch the last 10 minutes in the life of live cam 3. Riveting.

It was one of the best rides to the airport I've ever had. There are very few things in life more inspiring than the patriotism of people who want to be American Citizens. Anyone who wants to take that away based on race, identity or country of origin isn't half the American these people are 2/2

The only real job I’ve ever had other than what I’m doing now was teaching piano, which I absolutely loved. Here’s a three-minute piano lesson that I recorded back during the pandemic. In good times or bad, these simple notes can bring you lots of creative joy at the keyboard.

I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

We just accept it because it’s always been this way but ‘Ringo Starr’ is a bonkers thing to call yourself when the other guys are John, Paul, and George. It’s like having a band where everyone else uses their real name and then the drummer goes yes please call me Crackers Creamsworth

OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them: Ford CEO Jim Farley Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa General Motors plant manager John Urbanic National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota Transportation Sec Sean Duffy Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury 1/2

Has anyone got a list of the people who attended this event? I think it should be noted who stood there.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

This may be the most interesting skeet of Election Day. #Omar
