For 30 years now, I’ve listened to REM ‘Sweetness Follows’ on almost every flight I’ve taken, hundreds upon hundreds of flights across time & space. And for me, the message is the same “It's these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and thunder”

Roberta Flack was one of the 20th century's greatest artists. So much more than the songs that crossed over and became universal, though those songs alone earned her immortality. RIP to a woman who changed the sonic landscape. Here is my long essay on her genius www.npr.org/2020/02/10/8...

At first blush, like the Butler trade fine for both sides. GSW gets 2nd banana w/o giving up Kuminga/key young guys. Think there is enough combined passing/cutting/smarts/ physicality to make the Draymond/JK/Butler trio workable on O. Maybe not quite a contender, but good team for Steph twilight.

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.

we are so damn lucky to see Herbie Hancock, whose first appearance on a Grammy-nominated album was in 1968, and Stevie Wonder, whose first nomination was the year before that, performing marvelously at the Grammy Awards in 2025

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.

Some on the other side are threatening to withhold disaster aid for California unless vague conditions are met, even tying it to the debt ceiling. Using the suffering of Californians as political leverage isn’t leadership — it’s shameful.
