"Pig after pig, Cao after Cao..."

Gotta admit, I'm torn over who to cheer for here.

I'm shocked. Shocked to learn that another lying toady has been appointed department head under the Trump administration.

Enjoyed moderating a conversation at the NAB Show on the First Amendment and broadcasters' freedom of speech.

What we heard was clear. It's time for broadcasters to stop turning a blind eye to this administration's campaign of censorship and control and find the courage to push back.

World In Changes YouTube video by Dave Mason - Topic

I said the world nearly see
What you really mean to me
I'll tell the truth cause I can't pretend
Find yourself a real friend
And then you nearly reach the end
Of all of this runnin' round we do

Farewell to a fab songwriter-singer-guitarist. RIP Dave Mason.

So when all is said and done regarding Trump's little Middle East "escapade", what he essentially will have accomplished is making the Iranians feel more confident about their place in the world and Americans more uncertain about ours.

A present for Earth Day!

"Oops Wrong Planet" is one of my favorite Utopia albums.

She was on FIRE today. I love it when she goes into professor mode and completely stymies the student who didn't do his homework.

*cough* COINTELPRO *cough*

One of my favorite road movies. Definitive '80s.

Manon of the Spring.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Letter to WHCA dinner organizers

FPF joined >250 journalists in a Monday letter urging the organizers of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner to forcefully oppose Trump’s attacks on press freedom.

The press shouldn’t stand up to applaud the man who attacks them daily.

Ah...so Zuckerberg is into The Method.

True story. The one time in my life that I took a hot-air balloon ride, it crash-landed. Haven't set foot in one since. I was doing a remote radio broadcast to promote the business, which was a sponsor. I had ended the feed before landing-so I missed my golden opportunity to say "Oh, the humanity!"

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Ok, this prompted a "coffee through my nose" moment. 🤣

It's lonely out in space...

All those safety guidelines they were advising...work from home, avoid crowds, social gatherings, movie theaters, restaurants, etc.? My reaction was, "Welcome to my preferred lifestyle, everybody!"

His "O Lucky Man" soundtrack is killer.

"Our father whose art's in heaven

hollow be thy name

unless things change

Thy wigdom come and gone

thy will will be undone

on earth as it isn't heaven."
