@nytimes.com has become an epic joke. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

Luckily @kristenwelker.bsky.social has so many questions, she doesn’t have time to push back on your lies on @meetthepress.com

40 minutes into the first Sunday Morning show and @jonathankarl.bsky.social has yet to ask a Republican about the fact that US Intelligence says Iran is not close to a bomb. Nice to know the press learned something.

This may be my personal favorite Dead show of all-time. I’m partial to long jams, and the beautifully written jazz-tinged slow songs. Back in the day, this cassette stood out amongst all the other boots I had. gratefuldeadoftheday.com/06-18-1974/

What time do they open the presents at this birthday party. Can we leave after cake? Or will be shot?

Great doc about the making of Smile. You’ll cry. youtu.be/0SriaRRcA6w

May you ride an endless wave. Thank you for the music 🙏 m.youtube.com/watch?v=esu3...

Beware the man who has never worked a day in his life. @fetterman.senate.gov knows that is quite profitable to be the “liberal” who agrees with Trump. He’s been a sham since day one. www.thedailybeast.com/dem-senator-...

Drawing lines, pointing fingers Cops on the streets with their fingers on the trigger Trying to keep you in line…. Hold tight… Everything’s gonna be Alright mikejune.com/track/127628...

The media is failing the American public

Thank you Sly. youtu.be/g6xhSqz_4m8?...

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

How long until Trump DEMANDS we call LA “The Angels” and San Diego “A Whales Vagina”?

This guy…🔥

Cody Bellinger swings exactly like Paul O’Neill.

The best song you’ve probably never heard music.apple.com/us/album/sky...

It’s June and Yankees with beards is still weird.

Those Dodgers uniforms 🤢

I was feeling inspired by the nature around my house and felt the urge to write a tune about it: Regular Magnolia Blossoms blooming Something something And I don’t care

RIP Alf Clausen, longtime musical director of the Simpsons. Wrote many of the classic Simpsons songs, like “See My Vest”, and perhaps the best 2 minutes in TV history. youtu.be/JlmzUEQxOvA

“Maybe this will be the year” for the 5th season in a row for Fields. He will definitely get a few preseason MVP votes. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Why is @pbsnews.org having Kevin O’Leary on? 🤦‍♂️

Last show of the ’77 Spring Tour. Really good show, but a little less crisp and energetic than some of the earlier shows. But that’s a high bar. They played Estimated Prophet at every show but one, Samson and Delilah and Scarlet>Fire pretty much every other show. music.apple.com/us/album/to-...

On Dylan’s birthday I listened to: Together Through Life Love and Theft New Morning Planet Waves Nashville Skyline Oh Mercy

Happy Birthday Bob Going to listen to some Dylan today…well, more than usual.

@jaketapper.bsky.social remember when Biden woke up in the middle of the night and sent the economy in a downward spiral via tweet? No?

One of the highlights of the Knicks playoff run is the Rick and Morty ads with Sparks’ “Tryouts for the Human Race”. One of the greatest synth songs ever. youtu.be/O-iw3yyLApQ

In my mind, the Tuscaloosa-ATL-FLA run is the highlight of the Spring ‘77 tour. They’ve been on the road for a few weeks. The new songs are settling in. Jerry’s phrasing is more deliberate with more space. Kieth on “They Love Each Other”. Gold. gratefuldeadoftheday.com/05-21-1977/

Pushing the ball carrier, by the tush or otherwise, shouldn’t be allowed.

It’s good to know we finally figured out that it was the poor people and the immigrants holding this country back for so long. And science. And education. And the sick. Definitely not the military or the rich.

Yes, I did get the 10 of 10 difficulty “Name that Yankee” today.

Buried in the lore of the ’77 tour, lost between Cornell and Atlanta, and New Haven, a sparkling, high-energy show. It hasn’t been Dicked or Daved so the sound quality is not as high, and it’s not mixed, but worth a spin, especially the 1st set Scarlet>Fire! gratefuldeadoftheday.com/05-17-1977/

‘73-‘74 is my Dead sweet spot, and I also have a sweet spot for beautiful Missoula. I had one of my best-ever record finding days there: promo copy of Back in Black, the first New Riders album, and Santana/McLaughlin “Love Devotion Surrender” all for $10. gratefuldeadoftheday.com/05-14-1974/

Top ten all-time album for me. HBD Stevie! youtu.be/8o8FVoib92w?...

“What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat, and Tears?” Not only an interesting look at the band, but a really great example of the USAs use of “ soft power” and how effective it is, as we witness inept Trump administration dismantle USAid for no good reason. youtu.be/gdmk7zt0FIk?...
