“JESUS DIED FOR SOMEBODY’S SINS, BUT NOT MINE.” -Patti Smith, age 8, disrupts the neighborhood Easter egg hunt.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Some people wish they had a sarcasm font. I wish I had a not-sarcasm font.

I’d like to read an article about how Americans were persuaded that muffins constitute a healthy breakfast, rather than dessert.

If I die and someone checks my browser history, they'll just find "what is fenugreek" over and over.

‘Robbing Them Blind’: Live Nation Employees Joked About Fees

Free link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/a...

"Ticketing employees at Live Nation joked about trying to 'gouge' people for parking and V.I.P. upgrades at concerts, calling fans 'so stupid' for paying the inflated charges and boasting that they were 'robbing them blind baby,' according to internal messages released late Wednesday."

Was the encore "Black Coffee in Bed"?

“Dan,” someone asked him, “does this always happen when you smoke pot?”

“I don’t know,” Dan murmured. “I’ve never smoked pot before.”

The EMS crew that showed up were very cool about it. We got inside just in time for the encore. Dan never became a DJ.

We got to the venue, parked across the street, and headed to the show. At some point, we realized Dan wasn’t with us. Where’s Dan?

We walked back to the car and spotted Dan lying on the ground, next to our car, barely able to speak. Every time he tried to stand up, he had to lie back down.

The four of us loaded into the radio station car and set out for the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. The other two DJs were major stoners, so no sooner did we hit the highway than a joint came out. It was passed around and when it was done, another joint came out. Lather, rinse, repeat until Boston.

*Not his real name.

Dan was an engineer at the station. Like the rest of us, he wasn’t paid, and although he wanted to be a DJ, he was too shy to get air cleared. He kept our 50,000 watt station going, worked hard and never asked for anything, except a ticket to see Squeeze.

Squeeze are semi back in the news, thanks to a new album, and it reminds me of a story from my college radio days.

Our station was offered four tickets to see Squeeze in Boston, which was about an hour away. The PD gave the tickets to me and two other DJs, on one condition: we had to take Dan*.

“Why is it always about the economy? How about the fact that innocent people are dying?”

The difference is, the GOP has never pretended to care about innocent people.

“teens who have very little screen time are actually seeing a greater rise in insufficient sleep than teens with heavy screen use.” This is an anecdotal, self-reported “study,” and doesn’t nearly prove the counterintuitive theory that screens don’t disrupt teen sleep. Junk science.

GOP: “Screw alternative energy, our great economy runs on oil. MAGA!”

Also GOP: “Your oil prices are gonna go sky high for a few months while we do some regime change in this non-regime changing non-war. MAGA!”

The pastor of the church the Trump family attended when Donald was a kid was Norman Vincent Peale, author of the 1952 book The Power of Positive Thinking.

PPV bonanza

MD 20/20, Boone’s Farm, and grain alcohol with Tang.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Better than yours, all in all. 🐶

Hamentaschen: the original Pop-Tart

As the parent of a child with a complicated IEP, I agree. Why would people do this? My first thought: adults are overworked and overwhelmed by, among other things, the 24-hour cycle of work demands. Late capitalism wins again.
