This weekend, I also finished reading @rockingbob.bsky.social's Let's Do It, in pop music during the first 50 years of the 20th century. I loved it, even more than I expected. I thought I wasn't really into early jazz or swing (I was wrong) and that the book would be too Anglo-American centered.

I just finished Greg Grandin's America, América, a history of the new world (that is, the Americas) seen as a whole. (Thanks to @lenazun.bsky.social and others for the recommendation.) It is a great and very timely book. I learned a lot from reading it. I want to learn so much more.

I miss the days when all we did on Bluesky was getting worked up about some guy mansplaining the apparent need for LLMs to the Signal president.

I know everyone is talking about this being unconstitutional and unprecedented and I get it, but this sucks so, so much for the people in Iran.

with no plausible claim of self-defense, joining in a two-country effort obviously directed at regime change, this is not only a violation of art 2(4) of the UN Charter. it very much looks like aggressive war.

When I say I sometimes miss the old Twitter, I don't mean random people popping up in my timeline suggesting that bombing Iran is in the interest Iranians who hate their government.

NEW: Iran's government has now admitted it took down the internet in the country, arguing it was to protect against Israeli cyberattacks. I spoke to two Iranians who live abroad and can't communicate with their loved ones back home. "I haven’t heard from them in two days," said @ammir.bsky.social.

Small thread announcing a new book: So, for the last five years I've been working on this book. It's a lyrics collection, but there's a lot more to it than that, because just printing up my lyrics for sale would not be my style. thisyearbook.com

I need servers/VPSes/cloud credits to run VPN service for Iranian people. If you’re in tech industry and can hook me up with a non-US provider or if you can make a donation to help us pay the bills that would be appreciated. www.paypal.com/fundraiser/c...

Occasionally, me (a white person) and my partner (not a white person) have an argument after I analyze geopolitics by saying "they wouldn't do that" and tonight I really hope that for once I am right.
