We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

If you get skunked, don't over spend on resale. Resale prices always go down as the show gets closer and the are more tickets that get released. Keep on checking the site every day

And how good of a guy is @rossraihala.bsky.social? It's his birthday and he got ME a gift by personally booking this Boss show. Happy birthday, brother.

My best friend Bruce is coming back to Minneapolis with all his band buddies. 42 days until Bruce show number 25. Not sure I'll get any sleep between now and then.

I remember seeing that movie with an ex. The whole theater walked out in stunned silence about how amazing it was.

Her: "So..."
Me: "Don't ask me because I'm not sure either."

I hope Team USA Hockey keeps remembering and honoring the legends that paved the way for them to be in Italy today.

The Minneapolis brass band bringing joy amid grief: β€˜When people see us playing, it gives them hope’ Brass Solidarity was formed after George Floyd’s murder, and now also marks the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at its weekly meetup

If you're not in Minneapolis, in addition to the real work of patrols and food drops, this is what the resistance has looked like:

You too were some of my favorites from Twitter. I still have the recording of Dana, Ben, and Giselle calling my wife for me for valentine’s today. So fun! Thanks for being good people.

The de-aging aspect of the Jurassic Park ad was frightening, but I actually found it funny because I feel it spiritually incorporated some of my Jurassic Park bits with @danawessel.bsky.social

If anybody ended up with an extra ticket for the Tom Morello show at First Ave on Friday, I will do absolutely anything in return to join you. Anything. Make a giant donation in your name? Done. Upper-deck your boss' executive toilet? Done. Just name it. DMs open

We have a big event at CHS Field this Saturday morning during the Farmer's Market. Is parking going to be absolute nightmare? Any tips?
