A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Franz Liszt took six of Bach's preludes and fugues and transcribed their organ scores for the piano. Here's Hélène Grimaud playing one of those six, the Prelude and Fugue in A Minor, BWV 543. It's a workout. See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujO9...

If you want to know how to translate trade deficit and tariff explanations into water cooler talk, I got you covered. Here I broke down how trade deficits don't mean we're being taken advantage of & how Americans pay Trump’s tariffs. #reeciewiththereceipts ##reeciecolbertshow youtu.be/aASxccK2XEE

I've got a piece up at @liberalcurrents.com clarifying whether Trump is trying to install merely an authoritarian regime or a properly fascist one in the federal government. My conclusion: we're facing Actual Fascism. www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...

It's charming that the Yamaha company that makes motorcycles uses the same logomark as the Yamaha company that makes pianos, from which it spun off in 1955. (It pictures three tuning forks.) But this will make a certain type of person's eye twitch: the two companies' wordmarks use different M's.

It’s horrifying that Gov. Shapiro and his family had to go through this. I pray he and his family will be free fear and will find peace tonight. Every Gov. no matter their party should have issued a statement of support for Shapiro and a condemnation of antisemitic violence.

the thing is people can and do separate products from their CEO’s politics all the time, mostly because the list of CEOs with good politics probably fits on a post-it note but Elon wants Tesla to be a referendum on how we personally feel about him so here’s our verdict: fuck you, asshole, you suck

This is Cody Balmer, the arsonist that set Gov. Shapiro's home on fire, endangering not only the Governor's life but the lives of his family as well. MAGAnuts are domestic terrorists and are more dangerous than ISIS or the Taliban as they literally live freely among us.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
