It shocks me that people have their Venmo transactions set to display publicly. I do not get the social aspect. Why do people share this info? It's potentially dangerous. The only people that need to know about a financial transaction are the person that sent the money and the one receiving it.

It’s Always the Right Time to Call George W. Bush a War Criminal If George W. Bush is not going to stand trial for war crimes, he should at the very least stop appearing in public to weigh in on unjustified wars, as he did this week when he accidentally referred to the “wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.”

Neither Bush nor US society has ever really reckoned with the consequences of his imperialist crusade.

You're supposed feel calm & solace at wkend farmers markets by reconnecting with local farmers, but all I want to do is run over cars driving down the middle of the road, taking up both directions & not moving over to let you by & all the self-absorbed ppl walking arm in arm like it's Red Rover.

Been revisiting old BT this week.

Oblivion Remastered is stunning. Does it have bugs? Yes. Does it feel like a 20 y/o game? Sometimes, but the story is enthralling, and the updated graphics are well done. I know I'm going to be spending 100-200+ hrs in this world, and I'm looking forward to it.

So, ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3 Was Bad The White Lotus season 3 was not good. It was bad. Despite some great performances, this script went totally off the rails by the end.

First, the craptastic Severance finale a couple of weeks back and then this one. At least Severance had a good season, overall, before it screwed the pooch at the end, but even though The White Lotus season 3 had a few stand out performances, it was still just poop-dust from start to finish. 📺

Ordered 25lb of flour from a small mill in NC--3 hours direct from me in ATL. It was shipped via USPS on 03/21, & it went all the way to NJ before arriving at USPS in Atlanta 4 days ago, and it still has not been put on a truck for delivery. Calling USPS has been futile. Save USPS from these idiots!

In Focus: Roy Ayers 140325 Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers. Beyond being

This has to be the best Roy Ayers mix ever made. Such a wonderful tribute.

I cannot with the S2 finale of #severence. It was such a great series--up until that dumpster fire of a finale. It was a complete betrayal of innie Mark's character development. Sure he has feelings, but he was never this much of an idiot. I'm just not going to be able to take S3 seriously. 📺

My wallet and I are currently suffering a sparkling #mineralwater obsession. My fridge currently contains Gerolsteiner, Borjomi, Radenska, Topo Chico, Mountain Valley, and Lauretana. I think I'm turning into a #water #sommelier. Let me be clear: this is a problem, because I cannot afford this habit.

MUNDUS SINE CAESARIBUS

Chuck Schumer right now:

He already announced he was running for reelection over a year ago. Also, he's corrupt, oppressive, and anti-democratic. His administration is being accused of mishandling funds, using city property for personal benefit, and union-busting. He also suppressed the Cop City referendum and protestors.

Image of black text on what background that says: Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said." We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized. [Ira Byock, in his book The Best Care Possible: A Physician's Quest to Transform Care Through the End of Life (Avery, 2012)]

What I’m referencing:

I'm about to stop buying records from artists that only tour the N.East, West Coast, & Chicago. The Southeast has a lot to give. Make even 1 stop in Atlanta, Nashville, or Charlotte, etc & I'll buy your stuff. Support is reciprocal. And no, geographically isolated-Miami doesn't count. #music 🎵

Ever Shrinking World Eli Keszler · Ever Shrinking World · Song · 2025

So much respect for Eli Kessler. I first came across him when he did an architectural sound installation in Atlanta for FLUX, in 2012. And Each release he has is just as good and often better than the last. Can't wait for the new album in May. #music 🎵

Liquid Love Roy Ayers, Sylvia Cox · Virgin Ubiquity II · Song · 2018

R.I.P. to one of the best. You've soundtracked so many of my nights.

R.I.P. Roy Ayers, "the Godfather of Neo Soul." Known for classics like “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” and “Running Away,” the oft-sampled vibraphonist, composer, and producer passed away Tuesday in NYC after a long illness. Ayers was 84

I'm convinced most Democrats are dead. Most of those that are left are just Republican lite.

Report: Atlanta inspector general's office refers investigations to state, feds Senior employees of Atlanta's Office of Inspector General detail ongoing criminal investigations in a letter to authorities.

Why is no one running for mayor against Andre Dickens? He squashed democracy with the Cop City referendum & targeting protestors, fired an Inspector General investigating him, bungled the water main crisis, and now this. Why are we gonna let him walk into a second term with no opposition? #atlanta
