Nothing against a fun prompt but in reality you have to account for the possibility of resurgence. If The Cure had quit while they were ahead we wouldn't have gotten Songs of a Lost World last year. If Bob Dylan had quit before Empire Burlesque we wouldn't have Time Out of Mind. You never know!

Alysa Liu shares the political issues she cares about most:

“Climate, election things, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, ICE protests... More empathy needs to happen, for sure.”

Eternity and a Day

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

Fascinated that Madonna - arguably 80s pop's greatest icon - doesn't appear in the decade's top 50 most streamed songs. (Cyndi Lauper has two.) Is she dropping off the cultural radar?

The 75 Elections to Watch This March - Bolts The 2026 midterms really are starting. Five states hold all of their primaries for federal and state offices in March, and voters there face high-profile choices. They’ll decide which Democrat... Read...

Polls close at 7:30pm ET in North Carolina.

In Arkansas, at 7:30pm local time. (So 8:30pm ET.)

In Texas, at 7pm local time. (So 8pm or 9pm in ET.)

In New Mexico, also at 7pm local time. (So 9pm ET.)

All I'm watching in these states, on one page—and bookmark it as we'll add results!

It feels like we're losing culture.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Oha.

She's just so good. Everything she does sounds so effortless, and her melodies just flow and flow. #mitski

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Gotta admit, there’s not a single picture online that I’m going to take on face value anymore. Any photo, no matter how mundane, has gotta be treated as AI until proven otherwise. That’s where I’m at with the state of online disinformation campaigns.

Not enough Mitski discourse, if you ask me.

You don’t have to raise your children how you were raised or how anyone else raises their kids.

And also, protect kids. Especially in today’s world. Evil targets the innocent and the magicial.

Brilliant.

IT IS MARCH In the upper leaves, it is already next month. I am still writing yesterday's poems, waiting for clarity to come. But yesterday is clotting, next month won't come down. How do I live in the past but write about tomorrow? Victoria Chang
