Thank you, @stephenrodrick.bsky.social for being a witness. Your crucial and rigorous reporting is so important. I could not put this article down. It took me an hour; I read slowly when the storytelling is superb.

Belated post about a successful 14 miler last weekend on a beautiful day. By successful I don’t mean fast, I just mean I completed it and felt good. I probably heard Road Runner by the Modern Lovers. #RunningPunks

#RunningPunks, I did not run today or listen to music, but I give you Brando, 2020 and 2026: β€œShow me the puppy and I’ll show you the dog,” to paraphrase the documentary series Seven Up.😊

The 1939 version has always been my favorite, but I have not seen the new one yet. I read the book decades ago and remember that it was much darker than the Olivier version. Not sure I need it to be any darker. Did you like it? No spoilers please.πŸ™

Wow. I knew about Peter Thiel, but I didn’t know Epstein shared this goal until now. That puts his associations with so many power brokers in an even worse light, if that’s possible. Thank you for sharing this document!

Well said! You’re right that we still don’t have an adequate designation that does justice to the sacrifices and bravery of protester-witnesses. I’ve always said journalism is the first draft of history; these recordings are the prototypical prerequisites perhaps. Thank you for shining a light.

Enjoyed my run a little more now that crisis in Springfield, OH, has been averted, for now. 🎧 My favorite waltz (other than Gov. Walz): β€œGolden Brown” by the Stranglers. #RunningPunks

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Sunset over the Pacific during a short grief/anger-fueled run at 11:32 pace, which is super slow but relatively okay for me at this point.

The contrast between the beauty of the sunset and what Iβ€”weβ€”have been feeling lately is almost too much to bear. Today’s 🎧 is only one possibility: Bruce Springsteen’s β€œStreets of Minneapolis.” #RunningPunks

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We salute these VA workers for honoring #AlexPretti.

As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like."

A self-guided six-mile running tour of the National Mall, including the WW II and Korean War memorials, culminated in a visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. I was reminded that Americans have faced existential threats before. Believe, and prevail. #runningpunks

The benefits of procrastination include sunset runs! Heard two of my favorite covers: Billy Idol’s version of the Doors’ LA Woman, and the Sex Pistols’ take on the Monkees’ Stepping Stone. #RunningPunks

Longest run since the Berlin Marathon. Still far behind in my training, but I can’t complain about the warm sunny day in Redondo Beach. I saw everything from bikini tops to long down coats! Switched up my playlist from punk/new wave to Deep Purple and ZZ Top, found it too slow.πŸ™‚ #RunningPunks

I missed my run today, #RunningPunks, because I was working on this year-in-review post and I thought I'd share my day job with you. May as well share a fun song, too--Men Without Hats, cover of the Rolling Stones' 2,000 Light Years from Home. It is hilarious, but you will feel good.

First run back after ten days off due to dental surgery started out lovely, but was soon marred by a fascist rally of pickups sporting 5-7 flags each, including β€œwe are Charlie.” So today’s music has to be @dropkickmurphys.com!β™₯️ #RunningPunks
