I accept that we hurt ourselves, but I despise that we hurt others. Trump aligning with Russia is for me on par with child separation at the border in his first term. I weep for what our nation has become. We are truly monstrous villains now.

There now appears to be a non-zero chance I’ll see REM in my lifetime. youtu.be/qZOgPcnTbZ8

“The adult human brain today contains about a disposable spoon’s worth of plastic — roughly 50 percent more than eight years ago.” This is a great summary of research to date. Sorry if you can’t get around the paywall. NYmag does great work. #plasticispoison

😂 Inflation - Yeah… that’s what everyone is worried about. Definitely that and not gutting federal programs, laying off workers, alienating allies, and pretty much giving everyone in the world the middle finger.

With everything going on and needing a distraction that makes me feel good, I’m wearing this one out. It’s like Sugar + Foo Fighters + Beach Boys. 🎧 #rock

This is a fascinating summary and analysis. At a time when so much of what’s happening feels counterintuitive, I’m especially interested in takes on what we think we’re doing compared to what we’re actually doing. www.aei.org/op-eds/is-wo...

Work hifi v1 begins today. Airpods weren’t cutting it for daily listening. Let’s kick things off with some Ted Leo! #CDs #Rock 🎧

Sad as the stories are, I’m encouraged by the accountability angle here. We have many tools to reduce violence and harm. It is our responsibility.

Change your thinking: What if there’s an easier/better way to reduce gun violence? youtu.be/fbT97-zWxTY?...

I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life and I’ve never seen anything like this. #birds #nashville #nature

@celiasgregory.bsky.social that spiritualized track was perfect for your space theme. 👌 Every time I hear it reminds me of the first time I heard it. Beautiful.

I know times change, people change. When I was in college, a lot of us looked at actions of companies like Walmart and Coca-Cola and said, no, f that. More recently many said we should boycott Chic-fil-a and Home Depot due to owners’ politics.

I just wanna say how special it was to have Peter Cornell’s coffee shop in the Nashville area. I’m sorry I never got to meet him. His work here will be sorely missed. #soundgarden

If looking for new TV, Silo is great. 8/10 so far. The game of thrones sort of chess match nature elevates season two, where plots often run out of steam. And the acting is strong. Tim Robbins is excellent. The unknowns (to me) are also very good. Steve Zahn is in one of his best roles ever.

I’m gonna yell at clouds some more to point out how practical and user friendly it would be for corporate streamers to separate different artists with the same name. They have the resources and capability - they just don’t care. #music #spotify #apple #youtube

Pay your respects by learning about those who came before. #nashville #music #inmemoriam
