Disco, Unreliable Narrators and Lisa Borders Podcast Episode · Set Lusting Bruce: The Bruce Springsteen Fan Podcast · 10/07/2025 · 1h 13m

I recently had a fascinating conversation with @jessejacksondfw.bsky.social, host of the Bruce Springsteen fan podcast Set Lusting Bruce. We talked about LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO, the music scene in late 1970s New York, and of course, Bruuuuce! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I had a blast creating a playlist for each of the main characters in LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO. All on Spotify. Enjoy!

My book launch last night was a beautiful dream. Could not have been more wonderful! Thanks to @newtonvillebooks.bsky.social and so many others for helping to bring LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO into the world!

Thank you my lovely friend @nassefi.bsky.social!

Yay Burlington! I really hope other municipalities follow suit.

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

Jokes aside this nation is exhausting.

Mind your mental health and surround yourself with folk who authenticity return your love.

Grateful for this terrific review of LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO! 💃 🪩❤️

Thank you so much, Beth! 💃🪩❤️

So happy to see this! I wish I could have been there.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this version of Gavin Newsom, but wasn’t he sidling up to right wing bros a few months ago?

We do actually need to pay attention to the distraction when death and punishment is the way they’re distracting.
