At this point, at least 50% of the reason behind me watching any sports is to give me the context to read more @defector.com and watch more @pablo.show.

Finally put my finger on what works so well for me about Wednesday’s lyrics: Karly Hartzman writes each new stanza like an individual – yet interconnected – bit of flash fiction. But with full-throated emotion and a grasp toward connection, rather than the distant observation of, say, David Berman.

Thanks for sharing this – really great.

The organ that comes in at 2:50 on “New Grass” is always the best sound I’ve ever heard… and then the violas come in a minute later. Incredible.

CPB made me who I am. I grew up with PBS, and by my teenage years, the KC NPR affiliate ( @kcur.org ) shared my car’s dial with a local alt rock station and @kjhk907fm.bsky.social.

I’m as upset as I was about USAID.

They are stripping our nation for parts. The Private Equity Presidency.

Correct.

Ornately, right?

An exceptionally fun morning read with your cup of coffee.

Relax, Sufjan.

It is unbelievable to me that our news media is STILL so ill-equipped to handle Trump, Netanyahu, and their ilk – those for whom personal desires and vibe are the wellspring for fact, and truth itself is meaningless.

HOW do you quote them as if they are telling the truth or speaking in good faith??

Thanks for seeing it and (presumably) writing and thinking about it!!!! No kid gloves on my behalf. 😅

I’m always a short short shortie, as you know, but I really like #1 here! Effortlessly handsome. #3 my second fave.

White Asparagus truly one of the greatest foods.

Whoever you are, if you think the fascists won’t turn on you, too, you are a hopeless rube. Fascists are for crushing, not debating.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Mayor of LA: someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my city is dying

Strongbad sun, Coach Z moon, Cheat rising.

Once again: The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.

LMAO. Now that I have actually seen the movie, this bad-faith complaint is even funnier, and rhymes with the film’s themes!!!

Every time I start to think about this again I begin to feel physically ill.
