Poor Jolene didn't even know My Man existed. Jolene was just being nice, not flirting at all, and My Man thinks she's throwing herself at him. Justice for Jolene.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

There is a parallel timeline somewhere out there where John McCain got the 2000 republican presidential nomination and i want that timelime for us.

Happy International Clash Day! Shoutout to KEXP radio. Which album or tracks are you listening to on repeat today? #TheClash

The day after he publicly announced he was retiring from Pearl Jam, I saw Matt Cameron in the produce section of my supermarket. I stared, like "is that matt cameron in the produce section?"

Sinners, awesome movie and modern-day retelling of The Blues Brothers. In both films, the brothers spend the first half getting the band back together for a killer show, and the second half they fight Good Ol'Boys and Illinois Na*is. Not to mention both films have a sweet soundtrack.

What ever became of the Ronny Spector biopic that Zendaya was supposed to star in? Getting a bit tired of the glut of male rock biopics.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

People who call a band or an artist a 'one-hit wonder' aren't listening to enough music.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

The irony that Native people, original inhabitants of this land, now are forced to prove we are legal citizens of this land! The SAVE Act is bullshit for that reason alone, but also because tribal IDs do not meet the requirements of the bill stating “place of birth.”

Amidst the millions of corrupt, unethical, mean, and inept actions of the current admistration, arresting people without due process is flat-out unconstitutional. Get them out of gulags and bring them all back now.

Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell et al should have Joy Ann Reid and Alex Wagner and Lester Holt and the rest of the fired msnbc squad as their guests in every single show until the end of time. Every. Single. Show. #joyannreid #thereidout #rachelmaddow #trms #thelastword

The United States is a totally different country from the right's imaginary "America", and I wish that "America" would just secede from the United States already. Take their America First stupidity and leave us our U.S. Constitution, since they don't believe in it anyway.

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Nancy Leftenant-Colon, who became the first Black nurse in the U.S. Army Air Corps after President Harry S. Truman desegregated it in 1948, has died at age 104.

Seeing a lot of blueskiers having fun with Rednote now. Amid all your new exchanges and fun mooncake videos, keep in mind that no matter what you hear on that app: TAIWAN IS NOT CHINA.

All this time, we've been assuming that our Star Trek future would eventually happen. I'm realizing now that it never will. RIP utopian future.

Zuckerberg and the other tech oligarchs aren’t bending the knee to Trump and Musk. All these “moderation programs” and “statements of principles” were just PR campaigns meant to hide their antidemocratic actions. They’re not scared, they’re overjoyed. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/what-they-...

Responses to Trump that suggest Canada should acquire US states are indicative of colonial, imperial, and genocidal acts that shaped these countries. It’s not ‘taking land is bad,’ it’s ‘we’ll take yours instead’ as dispossessed Native people and displaced migrants watch the spectacle.

Musk, Bezos, Zuck, et al... they want more than just tax breaks. Real question: What is their billionaire endgame?

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Visited the locks and the salmon ladder. Spun the wheel of salmon destiny. So many metaphors here.
