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.
If I were to pinpoint someone responsible for more of my favorite things than any other single person whose name isn't Quincy Jones... 😓💔

Uh no...we definitely realize it.
I see folks saying it was Sandy Hook but i didagree. A good portion of this country was in favor of doing something about guns after Sandy Hook but big money kept elected officials from doing something. When covid hit people willingly threw fits about masking and went full anti-vax.
IRAN: Retaliatory attacks including on US soil.
US: “NATOs assemble! Article 5!”
NATO COUNTRIES: “Nah, we’re good, bruh. Gotta continue with our Epstein probes.”
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
JFC. "That's the way it is." What are we doing?!?!
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
The Gen X urge to do the neutron dance
And Elon Musk is a massive dork who WANTED to be a pedophile except they wouldn't let him in their club.
I can't stop thinking about how the planet is run by dorks and pedophiles.
Costa Rica, Mexico, Ghana, Senegal are just a few of the places a number of my friends have bounced to once they decided that this bullshit was untenable.
The Gen X urge to do the Humpty dance.
Just one of those nights where the person who is too stupid to be qualified to speak to me does so anyway.
Covid absolutely destroyed my concept of time. That pandemic was 6 years ago but it feels like it was 18 months ago.
Noted!
Is there anything out there as good as Ozark? That would meet my needs.
Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”
I was fiending to get immersed in another fictional world as engrossing as the Breaking Bad + Better Call Saul universe. Then Vince Gilligan dropped Pluribus S1 and I binged it and now I need to tap that vein again. 😩
Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.
The UK arresting Andrew.
South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life.
John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.
I bet you're carrying a blessing with you at least through this week if not longer.
That man is batting 1000
THIS MAN IS PREACHING
Real ones know.
My writerly friends who have been on bestseller lists keep insisting that I have a book in me. I have no idea what that book is but it should probably include a vignette where I reminisce on DC strip clubs that no longer exist with a masc of center woman at 2am on New York Ave. Shout out to Club 55.

Bro. Look. I have been obsessed with this song and this performance since she dropped it. EVERYTHING I LOVE IS IN HERE.

I used to have a Washington Post byline. I worked alongside people who did profoundly important journalism. It's crazy that all of that is just... done forever.
FRIIEEEEEND!!!!! 🤣
Things that sustain my belief in humanity:
A couple slow dragging to Kendrick+SZA "Luther"
The DC natives who came alive in the room bc I played a go-go set in a venue where you'd never hear a go-go set.
My job is alright sometimes.
