I finally have some time to peruse Man Ray: The Paris Years, a beautiful book I purchased from @mzspress.bsky.social. On this beautiful afternoon, with a chilled glass of pastis, this book is everything.

Did you notice Trump didn't take off his fucking hat when the dead soldiers went by? And, just BTW, what's wrong with Pete Hegseth, calling enlisted men and women just trying to do their jobs "warfighters?" That's comic book shit, man.

It's nice to have a partner that remembers your feast day and follows through with the requisite bottle of fine bourbon as a gift.

(Laura forgot the last couple years and made up for it this year. 🤣)

Today was busy and I didn't have a ton of time to reflect on my mom, who was born today 99 years ago.

However, in true Margery Kopacki spirit, we have Tiki food and drink plans for this Saturday, a day which I decided to name The Palms of March.

I can already smell the essence of rum.

26 years ago today, we lost a legend.

My father still to this day inspires me to be a better person and to be a dad my kids can admire and be proud of.

I needed to stop watching The Mist.

The distress Billy feels as the story progresses is far too palpable for me as a dad, even though my kids haven't been "kids" in a while.

It's not acceptable for me to ingest, especially in a time when distress is far more common than it should be.

I Am the “Kid” in Kid Rock’s Name and I Officially Quit I would like to begin by thanking Robert James Ritchie, aka “Kid Rock,” for the many years of steady employment that he has provided me, the adject...

I tend to keep my harder, louder music on a personal listening level, meaning me and my earbuds.

But, I'm feeling Converge's new release, Love is Not Enough, falls into the vinyl must-have category.

Also, Kreator's newest, Krushers of the World.

Maybe.

We'll see.
