Cover to Wet Leg’s new album moisturizer.

Making pancakes for Jillian and her pals. Listening to Wet Leg’s new album moisturizer. Nothing as catchy as “Chaise Lounge” still a really good album.

I’m glad I was sitting down when I read the news.

It’s too darn hot. Not to hot for pancakes and outlaw country. Listening to Waylon Jennings’ album Ramblin’ Man. I’ve had this album on repeat all week.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Album cover to Brian Wilson’s Smile

Pancakes are an easy choice for breakfast. Tough choice on this morning’s album. Landed on Brian Wilson’s Smile. Thirty something years after starting the follow up to Pet Sounds, Brian finally released his vision of Smile.

Feigning death usually works.

Jillian taking time out from her busy weekend of spending all day at Lockport’s Canal Days. Making pancakes listening to The Freedom Affair’s self titled new album. I remain a sucker for new bands that sound like soul bands from the 60’s & 70’s.

Making pancakes for Jillian and her pal Alexa after their late night seeing The Weeknd at Soldier Field, last night. Listening to The Weeknd’s album After Hours. After breakfast they are off to Great America. It’s good to be young.

Cover to the Car Seat Headrest album The Scholars.

Jillian and I making pancakes. Listening to Car Seat Headrest’s new album The Scholars. Best thing they done in a while. Also talked about summer plans. Today is going to be a good day.

It's interesting that Paradise, Severance, and Silo are hit shows about a group of people trapped in a controlled environment by a group of rich people who are lying to them about the basic structure of their reality.

Probably says a lot about where we're at as a people!

Starting Mother’s Day right. Jillian, and our lesser daughter, Gillian making pancakes. Listening to Pearl Jam live in Atlanta from 1994.

Good night 😴

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

If Trump can continue this pace for the whole year, he will save over one billion Americans!

Jillian and I making pancakes as we set the way back machine for 1979. Cranking The Knack’s debut album Get The Knack. Lots of new wave goodness. Now if I can just find my skinny necktie.

The idea of Heaven is class warfare. Offering the poor the promise of abundance in death, is the easiest way to make them gleefully obedient to the men emptying their pockets.

Album cover to Population II’s album Maintenant Jamais.

After a very busy March, Jillian and I are back to our routine. Making pancakes listening to Population II’s album Maintenant Jamais. Enjoying a Canadian band while it is still tariff free.

Smash up derby toy cars with box.

Talking GI JOE with life like hair and beard in box.

Evel Knievel figure and sky cycle toys.

Date yourself with toys that were newly available when you played with them.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
