I had to get this unhinged shirt the LA Metro put out to advertise their new line.
My parents are moving out of my childhood home. While cleaning out, I found a synth I made when I was 11 or 12. 100% reject rate 🤣.
"While both Kelly and Stratton flatly ruled out supporting any additional funding for the war effort, U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi did not."
Raja stopped disappointing me, but only after I stopped expecting anything but disappointment from him.
If straights were healthier Dionne Warwick’s “Don’t Make Me Over” would be a wedding standard instead of creepy stalker tunes like “Every Breath You Take.”
What a shindy they are kicking up!
I cancelled NYTimes not to save money, but because they were being transphobic and Islamophobic. After 30 years it wasn’t a decision I made lightly but principles matter.

Timeline cleanse.
In 1980, Klaus Nomi came to my hometown of Akron, Ohio.

I’m so exhausted by the vote blue no matter who (unless it’s Zorhan) people

Wild part is that the Pee Wee Herman suit fit and those shoes are more cringe than his skateboard handling skills.
Fascinating & very cool find. Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue recorded by an African American orchestra only four years after its premiere.
Leroy Smith's orchestra included trumpets, a sax, a trombone & drums, but also a French horn, a bassoon & a violin. Plus dig how the banjo pushes everything along.
Obama spot on. Jesse Jackson Sr was among first prez candidates to appeal to so many including the gays. My first vote for prez was during college in 1984 at Iowa caucuses and I caucused for Jackson. And learned how weird caucuses are.

That man was a legend
Thank you and rest in peace
All of us Gen X’ers who grew up poring through the liners notes and album credits on vinyl albums, the J cards of cassette tapes and CD’s reading all the names involved with the albums we loved will forever love & appreciate the contributions Bob Power made to the music that was our life soundtrack.

I’m helping my parents down size in their old age. And yes I’m using all their vintage untouched glassware in my home bar. Use it.
Teena Marie (who btw has never even been *nominated* for the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame — how stupid is that?) would've turned 70 today. But at 54 in 2010, Lady T sadly passed on to the great Emerald City/Xanadu/Southern Tip of Spain in the sky. Reviving this piece to honor her septuagenerian milestone.
Raja is an absolutely terrible choice folks.
Damn, even Sesame Street is scoring off me
she also colored "My Blue Heaven", which might be one of the most beautiful comics ever printed

We may not have the best health care in the world but we definitely have the most expensive health care in the world.
That never works for me.
