Bringing TurtlerBase to Bluesky is still on my list, but it’s a long list and there’s a lot on it I may not ever get to, so I’ll gradually add to a thread of old setlists for the heads who may be interested.

I still think about Gene Shalit’s praise for Roberts De Niro and Duvall in TRUE CONFESSIONS.

Duvall with cue cards on his chest while James Caan and Brando rehearse

Kilgore (Robert Duvall) speaking on the beach as bombs are falling in APOCALYPSE NOW
Duvall was behind so many iconic moments in cinema, but the one that I thought about first upon hearing the news of his passing is when Kilgore wistfully goes, “Someday this war’s gonna end,” and you think for a second he’s going to say more, but he doesn’t. RIP.

There truly may be no form of reading material I enjoy more than the setlist from any jamband, particularly one I’ve never heard. May have to bring TurtlerBase to Bluesky, but here’s an oldie from Twitter.

Hahaha - funnily enough, I was looking at this setlist this morning and thinking it reminded me of Turtler, but there were no cops, so you’ve got me beat: bsky.app/profile/neig...

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Respect to Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny for speaking out against ICE at the Grammys, and not just because it definitely pissed off Bill Maher

Regardless of their level of involvement, one thing that’s clear is there’s not one person named in the Epstein files who believed those girls were people.
