You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it.
Music (punk, garage, new wave, jazz, indie, post-punk, glam, classical, whatever), Mets/Jets/Rangers, cats, beer, higher ed, travel, art, etc. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.

We’re more than a year away from midterms and 3+ from the next presidential election (presuming we have them) and I see it’s already “this Democrat doesn’t 100% meet my purity test, therefore they’re no different than Trump” season 🤦🏻♂️
This *only* helps Republicans.

Saved this gem for last…the quintessential New Wave song. It’s simple, fun, danceable, off-center, quirky, artsy, nerdy, irreverent, outsider…every thread that runs through New Wave converges in Rock Lobster. 46 years later, still love it.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Isn’t this something that should be investigated? What are the details related to this pardon? Who requested that a pardon be considered on behalf of Juan Hernandez. What documents, emails exist? Was anything of value offered? Who was involved in the process?

Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

It’s crazy to watch healthcare workers go from “essential” in 2020 to “unprofessional” in 2025! And the professions are largely female!!

This would benefit literally everyone except the insurance companies, and large corporations who want to keep employees trapped under otherwise disadvantageous conditions. So much of our healthcare spending goes to corporate profits instead of healthcare.

Until about a year ago I didn’t like licorice at all. Then in the spirit of “just try it,” I fell in love with this licorice in Copenhagen and have been addicted ever since. My early Christmas gift from my wife is this licorice advent calendar. Yum.
