Still of the three times I've seen them, this was the best show. They left everything on the stage. Jon King deserves his retirement, but damn am I sad they're all done.

Gang of Four are on their final tour ever right now. Gang of Four has been a band fighting Fascism, denouncing war, and critiquing consumerism a couple years longer than I've been alive. Of course, given their long tenure, there's only one remaining OG.

I'm having an excellent birthday weekend courtesy of my awesome wife, who also shot this series of photos at one of our stops #vinylsociety

I deleted my Goodreads account and uninstalled the app. Independently owned and black woman invented StoryGraph for me from now on. I'm going to stop supporting the oligarchs as much as I can moving forward.

The only thing I bought today was Mexican food from a local spot. This has been my favorite kind of protest.

Wise words from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny. "Make sure you are talking to people and doing something. The logic of 'move fast and break things,' like the logic of all coups, is to gain quick dramatic successes that deter and demoralize and create the impression of inevitability. Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone & do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire & join them."

(Btw, I've called my reps, too)

I found this message to be optimistic and realistic. Hearing it was a salve in the chaotic time.

A screenshot of a social media exchange. Eric Alper (@ThatEricAlper) asks, "What thing from your teenage years do you think should make a comeback?" Geraldine (@everywhereist) replies, "The prevailing belief that Nazis are bad."

Sometimes my home office smells like farts and I have no recollection of farting recently and there aren't any cats near me.

Is my house haunted, you guys?

Last night I dreamt I was running through the Capitol yelling at Democratic leaders to do something, anything, to stop this coup of America. So that's fun.

I like presidents who don't seep deep into my subconscious.

I like political leaders who vigorously oppose those who would destroy the US.

Art is important.
