THE BIRD IS ANGRY

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nick Lowe & Los Straightjackets were fantastic at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass on Sunday. #HSB2025

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

We see it every day.
47 needs to be removed from office for all our safety.
Yet they feel no urgency to report that.
The thrill of fascism is their drug.
Their failure makes them even more defensive.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Compact disc jacket for Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire, released today August 22, 2025. The opened shrinkwrap is pictured with a sticker that says “Produced by Jason Isbell & Gena Johnson.” The sticker also includes a NPR quote: “Edwards’ lyrics resonate long after the music stops.”

Loving Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire. I’ve had it on repeat for a few hours. So, so good. If you like Americana, Alt-Country, Folk Rock, and the like, this is your jam.

Check it out on your preferred streaming service—or better yet, pick up her album at your local record store.

No worries. I’ll hit up Amoeba Music in San Francisco next Friday. Really looking forward to your new album. Just picked up Kathleen Edwards’ new one there today.

Plus, it gives me an excuse to stop by my favorite ice cream shop. ; )

Do you have a US or North American store? If not, I’m happy to hit up my local record store.

current issue:

It’s like when I tried to grow a hockey playoff beard years ago. My friends got a good laugh out of it.

LIVE: Tsunami warning issued for Hawaii after M8.8 earthquake off Russia The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the earthquake struck at 1:25 p.m. HST off the east coast of Kamchatka.

Be safe and get to higher ground, Hawai‘i ohana and friends. Mālama pono. Check on kupuna and help out if you can. #tsunami #hawaii

France gets the assignment. #TourdeFrance #TDF2025

Will be curious to see if the ASO & UCI will take the ham fisted approach and enforce the time cut.

Left a word out. Please *post* something once you’ve successfully crossed the border so we know you’re both safe.

Just make sure Colleen leaves her phone at home. Might wanna do a sweep/purge of the spicier social media posts you’ve done.

Also, please something once you’ve successfully crossed the border so we know you’re both safe.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

It’s not too late to take action. Call your representative at 202-224-3121 to tell them to vote no.

Sick fucks

Freshies. They just bottled that batch. Down to my last two bottles of Younger. Brought six to Honolulu the other week to share.

This is reprehensible. Trump has deployed 500 marines to fight Americans in LA. Trump is using thug war criminal Putin’s playbook.

This is what happens in Russia

That Ron Sexsmith and his music aren’t more popular and well known is absolutely criminal.

His new song Don’t Lose Sight is pure Sexsmith gold. I’ve had it on repeat since it came out. His new album Hangover Terrace will be released on August 29th.

Can’t believe this was already one week ago. Lantern Floating Hawai‘i is a beautiful, heartfelt event hosted by the Shinnyo-en Buddhist Church. It is inclusive of all faiths.

Watch the event in its entirety: www.youtube.com/live/8nSycQy...

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity.

Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities!
