Music- do you ever put on something slow or soft and beautiful or funky and just dance and move and stretch? Sometimes Nina Simone, Allison Russell; sometimes Saltillo, John Coltane, Charles Mingus...

I just want to languish in bed... with a cat and a good book.

This is a good idea.

Ooooh well played.

Mum is turning 93 on Sunday. Got her two different kinds of cheesecake from Gregory's (if you're in the Bay Area, this is a gem), and a hydrangea 😊 gregorysgourmetdesserts.com

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that there’s “no market” for a career as the eccentric yet mysterious owner of a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh that doubles as a café, triples as a bakery, and quadruples as a cat rescue.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

I'm working on serenity. The kind of inner peace that visibly radiates outward.

An #Anonymous message to the people of the United States and Trump. #3E (part 1)

This is insane.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

They've been playing the long game.

Along with physically going to the Treasury, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee (Durbin) should refer the matter to the DOJ for investigation and formally request that the FBI arrest Musk. When DOJ declines on orders from Trump, explain the gravity of this to the American people.

Folks the single number one thing you should demand from your Senators when you are making calls is that they start objecting to unanimous consent. It only takes a single Senator to do it and if they start objecting, it will grind Trump's fascist takeover to a halt.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel

hey question, is this bad?

Excellent post

Feeling a bit discouraged and sad. This year is gonna be hard. I'm ramping up my workouts and digging deep to do all the things I must to prepare. How does one prepare for grief?

Please don’t even talk to me in the morning until I’ve had my coffee, 27 hours of alone time, several months by the seaside to ease my agonies, and many decades to wander the earth until the fabled blade of my ancestors can finally be reforged

Gotta love the British press.

Run.

It was 28°F when Barack Obama was sworn in at noon on January 20, 2009 before a crowd of nearly two million people

All month, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see with the naked eye in the first few hours after dark. This weekend, Venus and Saturn get especially cozy.

Can we talk about Irish hips?
