Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there. Miss you dad!

Seen in Eaglerock. Anyone know anything about these?

The only thing I ever bought from a comic book ad—besides Sea Monkeys—was this: a Lincoln-Kennedy Penny. This is how we entertained ourselves with conspiracy theories before social media took over. Just thought it might give you a laugh. Enjoy!

The Japanese Village and Deer Park was a Japanese-themed amusement park in Buena Park, California that operated from 1967 to 1975. It featured traditional Japanese buildings, shows, and a deer park inspired by Nara Park in Japan. The Asner family enjoying the park.

I can’t believe it has been six years since you left us. I think of you every day. I miss you mom.

This is heartbreaking. Clem Burke was one of those rare drummers who stood out not just for his incredible talent, but for his vibrant personality as well. His influence on music will resonate forever. Rest in peace, Clem Burke.

What a nice way to start my day. Hi dad.

Adolescence on Netflix is simply amazing. Raw,Real, Brave, heartbreaking television. My highest recommendation. Must watch.

As Education Department Slashes Nearly Half Its Staff, Special Ed Worries Mount The U.S. Department of Education is firing almost 1,400 employees raising questions about how the federal government will uphold its obligations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

“This downsizing will be the end of any enforcement over the IDEA 2004, Section 504 and the ADA,” she said. “Parents will be panicked.”

Villaraigosa looked at my father and declared“Of course not!” Never a dull moment with my father.

As we were leaving to go to a party we saw Antonio Villaraigosa entering the Governors Ball. My dad yelled out to him in his gruff voice. “Antonio! How the Hell are you. “ that was met with a “Hi, Ed.” To which my father said. “You look great. Have you had some work done?”

15 years ago my father and I went to the Oscars and had a hell of a time. UP! Won best animated film and score and was nominated for Best Picture. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. My dad loved getting a rise out of people.

If you look at the body language. It’s definitely the other way around. Vance and Trump are playing to the cameras. Zelenskyy is besieged

Time will tell whether or not they were successful. If they are successful you will see concessions from Zelenskyy and Russia taking some land. Hard to watch. To see a man/leader that has given his country everything through a long war that he didn’t start be put to the screws.

It was a total set up. An ugly scene. They planned to ambush him to get him out of power. He rightfully won’t go forward without security guarantees and these two bullies went after him to either shame him out of office or publicly accept a deal that he can’t stomach

If you have never had the treat of watching Gene Hackman act, do yourself a favor and use this tragic news to look at his largely brilliant work as an actor. From The Conversation and Bonnie and Clyde to The French Connection and Unforgiven. He was a master.

I am heartbroken. My dear friend and my father’s best friend, Peter Jason, passed away today. What a loss He was truly one of the sweetest people on the planet. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. Peter, I hope you and my dad are up there laughing your asses off.

Just heard Rick Buckler, The drummer of The Jam, passed away. they were one of my favorite bands as a teen. They were also the loudest band I have ever seen in concert. When I saw them at Santa Monica Civic in 1980 the sound system lost power for about 3 seconds. What a shock. RIP

Congratulations to the surviving members of Joy Division and New Order on their well-deserved induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. @joydivision @neworder

Here’s 18-year-old me, alongside Nick Geber, Randy Ralston, and Steve Weisburd, doing our best to channel that inspiration. We were just kids—half the band was still in high school.

Though their career was brief, their influence has been immeasurable, inspiring countless bands, including The Cure, Echo & The Bunnymen, U2, Interpol, The Editors, and many more. Insect Idol proudly counted Joy Division among our biggest influences.

To me, Joy Division reshaped the landscape of punk, proving it could be something bigger, darker, and more profound.

When I was 17, I first heard Joy Division. At the time, my band, Insect Idol, was a punk band, and my friend and guitarist, Nick, played me a tape that instantly became essential listening—something that could never be turned off.

Why is Trump talking about the hiring of disabled people in connection with the air disaster. Can someone please enlighten me?

Happy heavenly birthday to my dear mother, who would have been 95 today. You are so missed. I hope that wherever you are, you are walking on a beach with all of your dogs and enjoying a martini.

How I miss this face. Probably my favorite picture of him.
