One good thing about any society in a real existential crisis... the music gets good real quick. youtube.com/shorts/4Riyd...

Shrink the numbers down and it becomes doable. 1: The whole mess is because of 1 guy. 20 and 8: It takes 20 Republican senators and 8 Republican congressmen to fix this problem and restore the rule of law. Not to mention decency and honesty. #handsoff 3: 3rd time is the charm.

2 sides of a new bookmark to give away at the Tucson Festival next week. What do you think? #books

Try this for yourself: Ask Perplexity, "What is the definition of a constitutional crisis?" Follow up: "Of the 4 things you've listed, how many are happening right now?" 😳 #trending #crisis

I used to hike in #RunyonCanyon every day. Lived about 50 steps to the right of this corner. This is heartbreaking. LA, we're with you from Arizona. Sending our Hotshots. God bless every civil servant working this disaster. We see you. ❤️

I quit paying them for a subscription last October. Quitting when they are paying you is a lot braver. Thank you, Ann.

This song on repeat for days. Always great when Michael Stipe gets fired up. "We fly to carry each his burden, we are young despite the years, we are concern, we are hope despite the times. All of a sudden...these days...happy throngs take this joy wherever you go." www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIqQ...

Better vibe here for sure, but I have a question. Is it simply because one group of people left X and came here? Or if the left-behind followed us here would Bluesky be able to defend its space against lies and hate? In other words, are the rules different here? Or is it just the people? #bluesky
