Many typos in that record, best not to look at it too closely. By coincidence, IIRC this was actually the one and only Phish show I had on tape, back in the day

And as an aside, we should not let anyone quietly remove Trump's name from things.

Removing his name from each and every building, demolishing his stupid monuments, melting down his dumb gold decorations and FIFA prize, each should be a televised national event.

Had a brief fantasy about a prankster changing the WaPo masthead slogan to "Democracy Dies in Darkness, and Jeff Bezos Has Decided to Help the Process Along"

People are skeptical if you say "the media likes Trump." But if you say "the media bosses like upper-class tax cuts, public service cuts, and having every policy they want just a bribe away, and they don't want Trump's unpopularity to ruin it for them," then it doesn't sound crazy at all.

I was at a show once where the organizers admitted to me privately that they booked the wrong band, based on the name. It wasn't even the same genre, though fortunately one with an overlapping audience (goth vs metal)

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Though there's a downside to everything: keeping it from being built will deprive us of the pleasure of seeing it get demolished.

RFK Jr. says there’s not enough evidence to prove vaccines don’t cause autism.

There’s also not enough evidence to prove RFK Jr. doesn’t have a fetish for watching people die of infectious diseases.

And there never will be because you can’t prove a negative. See how that works?

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

How about we keep all the workers but replace the executives with AI? Is there anything your average tech CEO does that AI couldn't do?

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Another minor example of this is our inability to change the faces and images on our currency, or get people to use dollar coins
