I mean, there is a lot of other stuff for Americans to worry about (being replaced by robots at work, losing health care, going broke, being evicted, being caught in a mass shooting, getting disappeared by a masked government agent) so I get being reluctant to add to the list.

If my name was Markwayne I’d probably just go by either Mark or Wayne
Agreeing to an interview with Isaac Chotiner is like feeding oneself to a woodchipper
Okay but at least we killed 50 - 150 little girls
Eva Woods is a tireless community leader in Los Angeles who has, for years, spearheaded care for our neighbors in MacArthur Park. She was recently assaulted and needs help to pay for extensive medical bills. If you can support, friends have organized a GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...
More than a little devastating to me that this film is 30 years old already, but the score is without question a classic.
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
RIP Eliane Radigue.
“Oceanic” is an excellent way to describe Radigue’s work, which has become essential brain-regulating listening for me in recent years. elianeradigue.bandcamp.com/album/feedba...

Bringing TurtlerBase to Bluesky is still on my list, but it’s a long list and there’s a lot on it I may not ever get to, so I’ll gradually add to a thread of old setlists for the heads who may be interested.
Someone tell Hillary that this is her husband’s legacy too
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
I still think about Gene Shalit’s praise for Roberts De Niro and Duvall in TRUE CONFESSIONS.
Duvall with cue cards on his chest while James Caan and Brando rehearse
& always a team player, as seen in this Godfather outtake shot, where he's the cue card man for Marlon Brando
Kilgore (Robert Duvall) speaking on the beach as bombs are falling in APOCALYPSE NOW
Duvall was behind so many iconic moments in cinema, but the one that I thought about first upon hearing the news of his passing is when Kilgore wistfully goes, “Someday this war’s gonna end,” and you think for a second he’s going to say more, but he doesn’t. RIP.

Happy Valentine's Day ❤️
There truly may be no form of reading material I enjoy more than the setlist from any jamband, particularly one I’ve never heard. May have to bring TurtlerBase to Bluesky, but here’s an oldie from Twitter.
Hahaha - funnily enough, I was looking at this setlist this morning and thinking it reminded me of Turtler, but there were no cops, so you’ve got me beat: bsky.app/profile/neig...
Brewster in the air, from one of Altman's oddest but most endearing films. RIP Bud Cort. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kc1...
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
What if they do “Samba in the Rain”?!
At least they seem to know how to pronounce her last name
Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
I guess he wasn’t watching Kid Rock
