A week ago I was doing this and tomorrow I’ll be doing it some more. And that’s what’s keeping me going.

Every day I have to hear about some asshole

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Could it be because . . .you . . . spent all of the election talking about eggs?

Drop the “with all due respect” preface when addressing Alan Wilson. Respect begets respect.

Sitting in a bar ordering takeout and NBC news is on. We’ve seen: Footage from Fox News interviewing t*mp Bird flu (no mention of this admin) Gaza sympathy story (no mention of this admin) “The war on straws!” with more footage of t*mp Way worse than I imagined. This is what people watch at on TV??

Sunday is a perfect day to listen to Let the Words Be Yours by TenMileRide, an instrumental excursion into themes by the Grateful Dead ☕️ 💀 🌹 open.spotify.com/album/3yp2xc... #gratefuldead #darkstar #jamband #improv #instrumental #scmusic #jam

There's a lot of awful-ass sh*t going on in this country but I'm gonna see Phish on the west coast again this spring!

Amen

Get off substack. Stop supporting it. Tell good writers there are options. JFC

I get texts like this every now and then about a song I wrote. Few things are more validating as a songwriter.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

F* this I’m going to the movies

"They are impatient not just because they are high-handed and avaricious, but because they know that the only future they can rule in the way they want is one that is passive, stupid, small and shrinking"

Fridays are always good days to get the word out! “Whether you’re already a fan of 30-minute versions of “Dark Star” or simply dabble in Explosions in the Sky or Bill Frisell records, you’re likely to come away fully enamored.” – Kyle Petersen, Charleston Scene (Jan 2025) tenmileride.bandcamp.com

Pretty gross seeing an AI-generated sports betting app ad while watching college basketball. But here we are.

Yay phish

The no. 2 ranked South Carolina Gamecocks obliterate no. 13 Oklahoma, 101-60.

Jamband Asheville peeps: we’re coming to play for you! “Whether you’re already a fan of 30-minute versions of “Dark Star” or simply dabble in Explosions in the Sky or Bill Frisell records, you’re likely to come away fully enamored.” – Kyle Petersen, Charleston Scene (Poster by Before the Ink is Dry)

I dreamed String Cheese Incident covered this song of mine. Honestly i think it’s a good fit! open.spotify.com/track/43bMoJ...

JUST started season two of Twin Peaks last night with @majorl.bsky.social. My first time watching the series. We will never have another David Lynch. We need more like him.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Zuck is such a tool. You’re worth 1/2 a TRILLION dollars and this is the best you can do??

Bill Hader is a Zappa fan! (And a fan of lots of other cool stuff) youtu.be/GHPY8icXOnk?...
