After 39 years of driving Republicans around the bend, Nancy Pelosi is retiring. I interviewed her a couple years ago in San Francisco for a story on California and she made for a great lede.

Democracy started getting up off the floor last night, so that’s a start.

Well, I was young.
It was indeed a perfect day with @willhermes.bsky.social and a fun reading and event at the @goldennotebkbooks.bsky.social in Woodstock. Great to see old friends and meet new ones, including @joehagantv.bsky.social who took the first photo and had blurbed the book!

Has the Trump administration issued any legal justification for using military force domestically? Trump has put himself above the law in every other respect, so not sure why they would bother, but just curious.

Maybe there’s too much content.

Turns out they actually wanted to hasten apocalypse & now they have their instrument of destruction.

Cameron Crowe defends Jann Wenner from his self-immolating interview comments on female & black artists 2 years ago & then says David Marchese’s questions were of the “When did you last beat your wife?” variety & blames “clickbait” culture for the ensuing furor.

It’s less the destruction of the East Wing that upsets me as knowing the new edifice will be a hideous and permanent tribute to this abominable era. Best case scenario is the next president (🤞) affixes a giant sign to Trump’s ballroom that says “Never Forget.”

I contributed some commentary for this new RFK Jr. doc from PBS Frontline. The full biography really lays out how Bobby made his own personal nightmare into our national one.

Certainly seems like a LOT of people are being abducted and jailed by ICE without habeas corpus.

After I published this story, Bari Weiss complained about my describing her as a “contrarian podcaster.”
“Contrarian podcaster? I run a company with 20 employees,” she texted.
I guess she got the last laugh.

Two album covers side by side. The first is "Keyboard Kapers" by Ferrante and Tischer. The second is "Slanted and Enchanted" by Pavement, for which the Ferrante & Tischer cover photo has been mutilated and painted over to serve Pavement's cover art designs.
Finally scored an original for a buddy of mine who loves the latter.
