It Could Happen To You. Recorded a few years ago in my Upper West Side apartment... #music #musicsky #piano #jazzpiano #musiciansky #art

Make America('s Economy) Great(ly Depressed) Again.

Important developments.

Do the Germans have a word for the melancholy that sets in when reality hits you after a good belly laugh? Asking for me.

I hate when Rand freaking Paul is a voice of reason, but broken clocks and all that.

Maybe a nice walk to the coffeeshop will ease my anxiety about the impending collapse of the US economy...

Time to turn off my existential dread to watch semi rich people pretend to be very rich people having existential crises (White Lotus finale)

Whats happening is simple logic: tariff-tarthen.

Best part of the tariffs are the Penguin memes.

I don't feel so good, Mr President.

There will be some crazy vape class action lawsuits in the next 10 years.

I don't mind modern pop country, but the sub genre I can't stand is a song about nostalgic memories from a popular song from the previous generation of artists.

I couldn't devote my day to it: I need the Cory Booker Supercut highlight ASAP.

Many things on my mind tonight, from Booker's record to Val Kilmer's passing: but top of my list is who's this fucking guy singing "Con te Partiro" at Karaoke?

Something tells me that RFK's proposed "wellness" farms will have the slogan "Work makes you Free" on the front gate. Maybe in German.

High art.

This executive order isn’t about election integrity—it’s about voter suppression. Purging voter rolls, restricting mail-in ballots, and tying voter ID to a biometric database are all dangerous attacks on our democracy. Please check out my latest here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

If my brain could ambulate, it'd look something like this.

How it feels waking up in this reality every damn day.

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous fiction novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was written in response to the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, exposing the harsh reality of slavery. She used proceeds from her fame to support anti-slavery causes. 151 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

We really don't deserve dogs, but I'm glad that life isn't fair in this instance.

We can't look away.

Sarah and Angelina Grimke, former slave-owners turned abolitionists, fought slavery through powerful speeches and written works like ‘An Appeal to the Women of the Nominally Free States’ and ‘Address to Free Colored Americans.’ 153 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

It occurs to me that in a modern version of the Producers, Springtime for Hitler would accidentally succeed because of its Ernest support for the Nazis rather than in spite of it.

I think I'll refer to Trumps hate fueled decrees as EDs- Executive Dysfunctions.

Todays illegal EO insults millions of children across the nation and their dedicated teachers.

In light of the madness of the moment, I am celebrating personal progress and a creatively productive morning.

The hearing for US Institute of Peace vs Kenneth Jackson et al with Judge Beryl Howell starting now. I'm listening via phone.

Everybody need to exercise their first amendment rights while we still can. Make noise that can't be ignored.

Today's exercise in patience: waiting for the Guinness to settle.

Battling the blank page in the airport cell phone lot.

So apparently we respect Greenlands right to self determination, as long as they make the "right" choice. This is thug behavior.

Calling for mandatory death penalties? Remind me again how calling this "fascism" is alarmist.

The view from the Oscar's watch party I attended. Not too shabby.

Had to say goodbye to the family dog, Wally. Had a good 17 years with us.

I'm sleepy, but my brain won't stop worrying about the dumpster fire that is... everything. But I get to do a fun thing tomorrow, so I want to be well rested. But what if my anxiety is keeping the whole house of cards from collapsing? Whatever am I to do? Truly a conundrum.

The word feckless has been popping into my head a lot recently. I wonder why that could possibly be happening...

Our "Justice" system needs a LOT of work.

Why is life just so hard to live, now?
