Met him several times in Toronto when he was doing traditional jazz. Extraordinarily kind, funny, and generous man. Jeff doesn't get anywhere near the recognition and praise he deserves in Canada. Neither do other Blues greats like Colin James.

I'll always tell people about you, Jeff.🎺🎸🎡

Scream... 7 ?!?!

I'm still surprised the first one was even made.

80 children (at least) killed in Iran is not a solution to anything.

And everyone looking the other way from that is proof that society is a disgrace.

The not having something on your bingo card is done.
It's done.
You've killed it, it's dead, and now it's done. Nobody is clever for using it.

Let's move on.

But even close.
Probably the most uninspired. In fact, the last few Olympics without NHL players were all far, far more interesting and entertaining.

Can we stop with the vocabulary disabling "red flag" and " green flag" nonsense and actually go back to using language to describe things. Or do we all have to distill to just two qualifiers now? Are there pink flags? Aquamarine or teal flags?
Use language. It's incredibly rewarding.

"Home of the brave", indeed.

This is the guy that thinks you don't have to worry about Covid anymore.

Rubio Stresses Shared History to Europeans but Warns of β€˜Civilizational Erasure’ in Munich

I'm so done with Americans, now or ever before, purporting to care, telling European countures what they should and shouldn't be careful of like it's any of their dmaned business. On the right AND the left.
Go home. You're the only one not wanted there.

Champaign Central Chronicle The Student News Site of Champaign Central High School

Proud dad moment.

My freshman daughter is openly masking at school β€” and wrote about it in her student paper.

In a culture that pressures kids to conform, choosing prevention takes backbone.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about care.

No.
Rapper Residente (RenΓ© PΓ©rez Joglar) opens the world's eyes to Puerto Rican challenges. Bad Bunny just makes them dance, plays well to white USA, and opens their eyes just enough to care without having to get involved.

Oh, and he was rapping gross lyrics about women when nobody knew him.

Apparently The Kitchen Cabinet #BBCTKC official compendium (which I wrote in 2021 and very much enjoyed) is out in paperback this year. Double woop from me as a) it's jolly good fun and b) means I continue an unbroken run of something releasing every year since, um, a WHILE. Buy from real shops etc.

This kind of headline is why I cancelled my subscription @nytimes.com. I don't even care if you do better I'm done with you.

For crying out loud, when you can't even trust NBC to be honest about this administration, the wheels have really come off.

Can we please not canonise Bad Bunny because he's the weapon of choice against MAGA for the next 15 seconds, and not forget that this is the guy who writes Epstein-ian lyrics like this:

"TrΓ‘ete a tu bestie, que a la do' le bajamo' el panty"
- Bring your bestie and we'll take both your panties down.

We can post shit like this all day long, week after week. But as I've said for months and months, where are the voices of outrage other than @markruffalo.bsky.social, @stephruhle.bsky.social, and @crockett.house.gov ?
Songs, speeches at awards do nothing, this doesn't need awareness it needs action.
