If anybody out there has a copy of the 2002 CD “The Ticket,” by New York subway performer Ron Raffel, please contact me! I’ve been searching for this album since 2008 when I realized my disc was badly scratched/unplayable. It’s an obsession! I want to hear it again!

The outcome of many years of corporate America's political activity is this: an unpredictable strongman government that will destroy the conditions that allow business to flourish. Smooth move idiots. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-busine...

Why did it become normal on a web page to have an opaque block that drops down arbitrarily, getting in the way of what you're reading? It's both unbearable and ubiquitous.

I used the Dylan movie as a good excuse to read Joan Baez's mid-1980s memoir, And a Voice to Sing With.

It’s completely surreal (and corrupt) how much reality TV pseudo-experts are increasingly intertwined with the Trump admin. Dr. Phil embedding himself with ICE to make deportation content. Dr. Oz selling supplements on TikTok Shop as pending head of Medicare/Medicaid
