Reading through the list of corporate sponsors of the Abominable Ballroom™️ (via the venerable @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s daily letter), and I feel trapped. How to extricate oneself from Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon completely? I could attempt in my personal life, but at work? All embedded.
Mandela effect moment: listening to Steely Dan’s “Glamour Profession” for the umpteenth time and he (Donald F) goes “6:05, outside the stadium”

And I could swear that it was “*behind* the stadium” all this time.

More importantly: Rest in power, Anthony Jackson.
Exact same reaction here. Also, the iOS push notification from @nytimes.com said “posing potential ethical conflicts.”

Dear Gray Lady, honestly: we are *so* far beyond “potential ethical conflicts.”
A decade into this, and my jaw still dropped.
Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X
They grow some in Hawaii but yeah, it’s not a lot by world standards
Oh man. Susan Stamberg and Ace Frehley? These are foundational figures from my youth. Susan more so than Ace, if we’re being honest. But still.

May they rest in eternal peace.
Totally up to you, but here's a link to easily send a message to your congressional representatives to ask them to oppose the administration's use of National Guard and other troops in our cities. action.aclu.org/send-message...
Tell Congress: No Troops on Our Streets
President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities. Tell Congress: No troops on our streets.

I mean, if it was an Eb sopranino clarinet…well, let’s just say that I’ve wanted to arrest a couple of people for assault…😏

But seriously, what?! 😡
Heyyooo, 2006 was nineteen years ago.

I know. It doesn’t sound right.
I don’t even baseball but this tracks
if you get hit by a pitch while trying to bunt you should be out. sort of a rock paper scissors deal
Well, now it's @aftynbehn.bsky.social vs. former General Services Commissioner Matt Van Epps in the #TN07 general election on December 2. There are also several independent candidates running, but the political alignment of the district favors Van Epps, unless Nashville and Clarksville Dems turn out
Good morning. Just two more days until the primary in the special #TN07 election. I follow a couple of candidates on here, and will be anxiously awaiting the results on Tuesday night.

The special general election will be held on December 2nd.

If you are eligible, please vote. Register by Nov. 3rd.

The band is Birds of Chicago, and the song is “American Flowers”
🇺🇸🇺🇸Flying into DC, with the sky reflecting on the Chesapeake Bay and the familiar slopes of the Blue Ridge in the distance, a new-to-me song on the airline’s roots music playlist hit so right.

*Do not fear the winter blowing in the hearts of men
I have seen American flowers they will bloom again*🇺🇸🇺🇸
I just wonder: is the average person even paying attention?
My state’s soybean farmers are getting hurt by international reactions to trade policies. Will this test their loyalty to the current administration? One would think so, but it’s tough to say.

Thoughts?
