We’re out there. It’s easy to forget that the loudest voices are the bigoted “Christianists” who use religion to justify their own hatred. But the humble folks who are trying to improve their corner of the world do exist, if you look for them
He was the best of us. And an Allman Brothers fan! Fair winds and following seas, Mr President. 😢💔
This game is excruciating to watch
Clearly that’s just woke nonsense from a commie Marxist socialist lib (did I leave anything out?). The Constitution says nothing about CO-President, so obviously it’s just fine. I believe that’s checkmate
Cogent analysis, Mehdi, and spot-on

Given that Trump’s biggest winning margin seems to have been low-info unengaged voters, one can assume that such voters probably decided very late in the process based on whatever social media info they saw
You just need a Tigers baseball cap to complete the full effect
I couldn’t decide between these two
Hello world! Reviving my Bluesky account as part of the Great X Migration. It’s been a rough week, not gonna lie. Finally showered and shaved and ventured out into the world after a week of solitude contemplating … <gestures vaguely> … everything.
It’s Friday, so that means it’s time once again for Forgotten Solos! Something fun this evening: the late great Roy Clark (who could play anything with strings), being absolutely otherworldly. Seriously, how can a human play like this? Utterly amazing performance youtu.be/-xssnp7R51A?...
Yeah, Stanley slapping and popping that big upright on School Days was quite a sight. I saw Frank with Brian Auger a couple of years ago - great show
He’s amazing. I saw him on the Rite of Strings tour with Stanley Clarke and Al DiMeola … not a bad little band
It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for Friday Forgotten Solos! Tonight we head back into the 70s jazz fusion vault for some Jean Luc Ponty, with a great tune featuring a virtuoso bass performance from Ralphe Armstrong. Enjoy! youtu.be/1zE-2H_VJvM?...
It’s time once again for Friday’s Forgotten Solos! Ernie Isley is a truly amazing guitarist who often (and sadly) gets overlooked in the pantheon of 70s guitar greats. His incredible tone and fluid lines are on full display in this classic youtu.be/T88fbHOmvRk?...
It’s time once again for Friday Forgotten Solos! Tonight’s selection will be instantly familiar to anyone who grew up in the Baltimore area in the 70s. It’s Starbuck, with the legendary Bo Wagner on the mighty marimba!

Time for Forgotten Solos Friday! Tonight’s selection is from one of Santana’s lesser-known albums: Caravanserai. This features a great solo from Carlos (of course), but in particular an incredible electric piano solo from fusion great Tom Coster. Enjoy! youtu.be/cPKIle7gSVk?...
The ONLY valid Grinch
It’s time for Friday Forgotten Solos! Tonight’s selection comes from Chicago’s “Hot Streets,” their first album after legendary guitarist Terry Kath died. Donnie Dacus turns in a fantastic jazzy guitar solo in 5/4 on the title track. Enjoy! youtu.be/1i4LqgElgy4?...
It’s time for a new Friday evening series! I’m calling this one Forgotten Solos, featuring great overlooked solos. Tonight, a Doobie track with TWO forgotten solos: Victor Feldman on vibes, followed by the one and only Jeff “Skunk” Baxter on guitar. youtu.be/17PmVEPpSWo?...
