The first time I saw ZZ Top was 50 years ago in Hempstead, NY. I saw this evening (my third ZZ Top concert) and they were over the top awesome. Billy Gibbons is a guitar god, as good as ever. Frank Beard is a monster on drums. And Elwood Francis is a fine replacement for the late, great Dusty Hill.

I hate it when I have to root for the Broncos.

I just filed a claim in a class action suit against Anthropic. I found out that one of my books was used by them to train their LLM.

So, if birthright citizenship is up for grabs, how can I prove that I am a citizen? I can certainly prove that I was born here but I'm not sure how to prove that I'm actually a citizen. Is the fact that I was issued a passport dispositive or can the government now backtrack on that if it chooses?

Also, I saw Megalopolis twice.
