Democrats are comfortable fighting Trump, but to change the country we need to do more than critique; Americans want solutions & there’s lots of room to work on economic pathways to success and creating opportunity for all. Thanks @DashaBurns for the conversation. www.politico.com/video/2025/1...

Now, for many of you, this is a wonderful time of year. I think that’s just great and I dig that for you.
It’s not that a thing for me. I’m cool with it, it’s another time of year for me.
So, when I don’t dance around like Will in Elf, please don’t be offended, It’s me, not you.🎄

how about we all get our music the way we can...
I can afford Apple Music and I use it exclusively...if Spotify is all you got, go with it...
and, btw, other than flavor of the moment folks, nobody buys albums anymore...digital versions are better (says pretty much everyone in the music biz)

goes without saying today obvs - fuck spotify, use bandcamp, switch to another streaming service, pirate if needed. but in addition to all of this, curating your own physical music collection thru CDs, tapes, vinyls, etc is a really wonderful way to get to know your own music collection.
