Extending the health insurance coverage premium credits to maintain affordable access to healthcare?

OK that historical drama about Charles Guiteau and James Garfield was pretty good.

Now someone do one on Czolgosz and McKinley.

“Autumn In New York” hits different today, amirite?

Yes Georgia, yes Virginia, c’mon everybody else, let’s go

This show has perhaps the fastest “Eyes” I’ve ever heard, and follows that later with one of the slowest renditions of “Iko Iko.” Wild tempo fluctuations that would never happen in today’s click-track world!

I just picked an anniversary show to listen to; no real reason to pick that one.

Surprise “Sunrise.” No way!

Watching this interview now, and re-living the moment that Kinzinger dipped his wing at the crew as he flew off. I had tears in my eyes.

It is now time for our annual listen to "Opus 4" by Art of Noise from their 1986 album IN VISIBLE SILENCE.

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃

Some friends in college went to see them in Boston (1986 or '87?), and I didn't go, and I rather regret that.

Nobody:

Not a soul:

Me: 🎵Well I keep rockin’ while I still can
Got a Tupac habit and a🎵

*record scratch*

I still don’t feel right ordering a “Starry” to drink

I’m gonna need you to turn that down

Man, a year ago we were making hot dish and curry, wearing pearls and plaid, and watching TikToks of Republican women casting early voting ballots for the candidates their husbands wouldn’t want them to.

Something very strange and wrong happened on election night. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Reading through the list of corporate sponsors of the Abominable Ballroom™️ (via the venerable @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s daily letter), and I feel trapped. How to extricate oneself from Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon completely? I could attempt in my personal life, but at work? All embedded.

Mandela effect moment: listening to Steely Dan’s “Glamour Profession” for the umpteenth time and he (Donald F) goes “6:05, outside the stadium”

And I could swear that it was “*behind* the stadium” all this time.

More importantly: Rest in power, Anthony Jackson.

Exact same reaction here. Also, the iOS push notification from @nytimes.com said “posing potential ethical conflicts.”

Dear Gray Lady, honestly: we are *so* far beyond “potential ethical conflicts.”

Happy Diwali 🪔 btw

They grow some in Hawaii but yeah, it’s not a lot by world standards

Hey @sallywhite.bsky.social @jfaz.bsky.social this is relevant to a couple of recent conversations

Oh man. Susan Stamberg and Ace Frehley? These are foundational figures from my youth. Susan more so than Ace, if we’re being honest. But still.

May they rest in eternal peace.

Tell Congress: No Troops on Our Streets President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities. Tell Congress: No troops on our streets.

Totally up to you, but here's a link to easily send a message to your congressional representatives to ask them to oppose the administration's use of National Guard and other troops in our cities. action.aclu.org/send-message...

Oh here’s some #TNpolitics news:

I mean, if it was an Eb sopranino clarinet…well, let’s just say that I’ve wanted to arrest a couple of people for assault…😏

But seriously, what?! 😡

Heyyooo, 2006 was nineteen years ago.

I know. It doesn’t sound right.
