I saw him for the first time at the Opry a year ago and he played a new a new anti billionaire song. Janis Ian wrote a sweet remembrance of him on her FB page.

How 50 years of climate change has changed the face of the 'Blue Marble' from space The "Blue Marble" was the first photo of the whole Earth and the only ever taken by a human. Fifty years on, new images of the planet reveal visible changes to the Earth's surface.

Fascinating story of the 1972 ‘Blue Marble’ first complete photo of Earth from space taken by the crew of Apollo 17 on a Hasselbad loaded with 70mm film. There are definite changes seen now, the shrinking of polar ice caps and expanding desertification.

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Let him use the toilet, maybe it's still got the magic.

Or in the case of Eno's Third Uncle, post-punk actually existed pre-punk.

On today’s episode of Cartoonishly Overt Sign We’re the Baddies: they’re taking the olive branch off the dime because it presents peace

as a music listener you will be rewarded tenfold spending $15-$20 to see a local act at a local venue. make live music a regular thing, not one more unreasonable facet of our profiteering corporate hellscape

It just became available on Kanopy. I felt the mock biopic was the weak link.

Recently read Shadow Ticket, and this has been sitting on my shelf for several years. Thanks for the impetus for finally giving it a read.

I slogged through Lincoln in the Bardo, but I had a bad feeling about this one. The concision of the short story form puts a damper on Saunders’ worst impulses.

Hey, Democrats, go ahead and attend the State of the Union, but only if you react in real time with this silhouette as your spirit guide.

New Jersey lawmakers introduced a bill called the Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered, the acronym of which is FUCK ICE.

And if you're bragging today about how you killed your WaPo subscription a while ago -- which is legit -- but you still have Amazon Prime because you just gotta watch, I dunno, Fallout, or Fleabag, or, fuck me, Shiny Happy People, of which I was a part, then you've chosen yr side, & its Bezos'.

Abolish ICE.

I have just one question: What’s Andy’s take on Jim Belushi playing Ken Kesey in the new film The Chronology of Water? I’m anticipating some strong feelings on the subject. #TestShow435

I take this as a positive sign that morale is zero within DHS, that they're all afraid, and that Miller is doing this publicly for the same reason Himmler made all the SS chiefs assemble to hear they were doing the Holocaust: you can't say later you weren't in this, and weren't empowered.
