RIP Jerry "Iceman" Butler, soul singer extraordinaire and long-time Chicago elected official, gone at 85. I was just listening to one of his albums the other day, which makes me fearful to play albums by other favorites...

If you heard this moment that there had been a military coup in the United States, and that Trump had been taken into custody and that Hakeem Jeffries had been installed as temporary executive pending new national elections within 90 days, how would you feel? a) Elated b) VERY concerned

We're only just starting to see the damage of multiple attacks on Democracy because the smoke hasn't yet cleared. And before it does, they'll attack again. If we somehow manage to win this war, it will take years to rebuild what's already lost. We truly need some real heroes from both parties. Now.

The difference between being respected and feared is pretty important: People act to support and help those they respect, but would like to eliminate those they fear.

I recommend reminding Google that the real name is "Gulf of Mexico," and that the rest of the world doesn't have to comply with the whim of a yellow lunatic.

Forget the JFK files — why doesn’t Trump start by releasing the Epstein files? 🤨

And the thing is, the prices of coffee imported from places OTHER than Colombia will match the increase. Why? Because they can, and we will buy it.

I'll be out buying four years worth of coffee today if anyone needs me.

Now that "Furiosa" is on Netflix, you have no excuse not to watch this absolutely brilliant piece of film-making that got stiffed at the box office because backward-hat boys didn't want to see a badass GIRL in a lead role. Watch it, damn it.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

The new Storyville Museum in New Orleans offers an “immersive” experience of the fabled brothels. But is it TOO immersive?

These 10/10 urinal dividers are installed in MRB in New Orleans. We need more urinal art.

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

I realized today that I am more powerful than Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. I can say Fuck You Donald Trump. They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.
