Available at every Tower Records, every Barnes and Noble.

A Paul Simon loving hippie kid like me would’ve loved Willing and Able unconditionally.

Sometimes it’s just too easy to hold yourself back.

I have to remind myself of that more often, I tell myself.

I have to admit that as a youth I did not allow myself the opportunity to appreciate the awesomeness that is Prince.

And it was not that it was hard to find, I’m literally just listening to 1991’s Diamonds and Pearls and it’s blowing my mind how revolutionary a song like Get Off is for the time.

A quote from 2025 Superman where Lois tells Clark, β€œMy point is I question everything and everyone. You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like... beautiful.” And Superman replies,Maybe that's the real punk rock.”

I will also say that if you've ever had a problem with Airbnb and needed to deal with Airbnb's customer service: that person is now running the design of federal government websites.

What do you say chat, can we rely on the AI to give us reputable numbers?

Trying to construct a mental model we can relate to (β˜•οΈπŸ”Œβš‘οΈ) vs β€œasking grok β€˜x’ burns 5 trees” which just feels intentionally disassociating.

Then there's the reporter who starts with, "You've got the drivers worried about increased traffic."

Why is this the frame for the story? Why not start with something about the safety of these lanes for walkers and pedestrians? That's the real impact!

Legacy media is really doing everything in its power to ice the Trump/Epstein story.

It's so obvious and wild for anyone who lived through the wall-to-wall daily coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal

Good morning to everyone who wonders why they didn't just use paint and plastic flex posts to protect this fire hydrant.

Our only hope is to draw the line now. To stick up for our friends and neighbors, our co-workers and loved ones, who are undocumented and being hunted.

If morality or empathy for them is not enough to motivate you, fine. Then let this be your motivation: if you don’t draw this line, you are next.

We burn rubber β€” exchange force plus traction for momentum β€” in the hope of outrunning whatever it is that’s chasing us, knowing we can never succeed.

Ah, summer.. open the windows on a cool night to hear the sound of tires squealing on the nearby parking lots and intersections, on the county highway and frontage roads, across over passes and into roundabouts.

I’m glad you mentioned incentives, Billy. Let’s talk now about how much better the quality of life could be for everyone if, say, billionaires just paid their taxes. I personally believe the incentive of lifting the world up with your largesse is vastly underrated.
