I recently remembered Joe Frank and now it's kinda all I think about. That & D&D. & the Portland Timbers and soccer broadly. And books. & gardening & cooking. Work at SAG-AFTRA. He/him. During Orange Interregnum 1 I wrote http://trimptromptrump.com

Today's character Kent Straith appears to live in Detroit and sell Medicare supplement insurance. You can just block him. Or, you can rest easy knowing that his opinion of the NYC mayoral race is of little relevance to New Yorkers. Or, even if he has moved to NYC, you can still block him.

I spent a non-negligible number of seconds trying to figure out why Tom was a human right.

My new standup special "Positive Reinforcement" premieres ONE WEEK FROM TODAY on Blonde Medicine's YouTube channel!!! (The album version with a little bonus material will be out on 7/11!) Here's a little clip (the first one!)! If you like it, maybe tell somebody about it! :)

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

In other "federal government is going great" news, the new public records system for copyright.gov has been down for a while. A tiny drop in the bucket given *waves hands around* but grrr. publicrecords.copyright.gov

Trump parade is a boon to prop houses. Report notes that the lateness and volume of the orders meant that many vendors charged premiums. Seems in line with the "poorly planned" reports. deadline.com/2025/06/trum...

Thanks to @lowcarbonkev.bsky.social for the excellent graphic. There don’t seem to be that many of us, but, you know, it’s the birding community, so manage your expectations. 🤣

High-fived Roy Hodgson outside a hotel in downtown Portland when his lads were there to play the Timbers in an exposition match.

This ICE shit is so crazy that it has New Yorkers openly complementing LA

ICE and CBP now part of security detail for the kick off game of the Club World Cup. Another opportunity for the Trump administration to launder the idea that they are acting legally and for the safety of fans

I think I said this before, but I have the new Beach Bunny album on pretty heavy rotation. Anxious, tight, and occasionally dreamy songs that face adulting with wit and charm. I'm reminded of Saba's "you just take the negatives and make a witty bar" line from "Big Picture."

Penny is such a good dog who's come such a long way. Let's get her adopted, y'all. 1YO, 45 lbs, spayed, house trained, good with other animals, loves doing surgery on stuffed toys and sproinging around outdoors. Thrives on routine. Gives sweet, gentle kisses.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

We stand with our union brother #DavidHuerta and with unions across the country in condemning this violation.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. We are not descending into chaos and lawlessness. We’re a great city full of good people. We don’t need the National Guard.

I put this on IG but it’s worth saying here

Hey look at that someone read the statute! Just to put a sharper point in it, this means everything that’s going on with the national guard right now in Cali is illegal as well as horrifically unnecessary and harmful
