Harm reduction saves lives and I’m sick of people dying.

My opinions represent my own calamity.

The new Duetsche Physik policy just dropped. Not sure how damn near any healthcare grant is going to survive this one.

I’ll just let any psychologists considering this path know: Our generation will not be as kind to you as our elders were to the likes of Barlow and Hayes.

The people there, who wanted to speak to the masses about their boots on the ground efforts to continue this fight were left with speaking to far fewer people long after the 4pm official event end time.

There was an outstanding turn out today in ABQ for the hands off rally!…for the politicians using the space as a photo-op. 🧵(personal musings from being asked to speak)

Come see us tomorrow at the @standupforscience.bsky.social table in ABQ. Over 1000 rsvps, get there early as we tell these small men to keep tiny hands off our science.

My favorite thing about the @standupforscience.bsky.social map is that the French people obviously maintain their solidarity and know the history of our joint venture in revolution. Those in power in the U.S. would have us forget this, but I ’ll be Santa Fe tomorrow, how’s about you?

This one is not an album but if you have the opportunity to see Ken Pomeroy live, drop whatever you think is important and do it. Watched her keep the whole rooms jaw on the floor for 45 minutes when she opened with just herself, her guitar, and someone on an electric.

Maybe the only person with a song more misused/misunderstood than Born in the USA. I unfortunately feel like I’ll be sitting with some more Woody Guthrie in the coming years.

I was lucky to have a good friend in Athens when these guys were first getting started. I’m even luckier they somehow keep getting better and if you have a chance to see them live, one of the best. Futurebirds: Easy Company

Though they may refuse to bring an international tour to NM @adeemtheartist.bsky.social wrote the album I probably cried to most this year. Great day to meditate a bit on “Rotations”.

Good Looks: Lived Here For A While. This band is just fucking awesome. And the last 3 tracks on this record are among the best consecutive tracks I’ve heard on an album.

@americanaquarium.bsky.social released the song I cried to the most this year on The Fear of Standing Still with Cherokee Purples.

@heladonegro.bsky.social Phasor. This album has helped keep me calm through the chaos that is November and December.

Finally old enough to learn from someone that knows what they’re doing (aka not dad).

How’d I miss this gem yesterday. So good.

Francesinhas count? Need a good cross-section next time of the layered sausages and other meats.

Me when my daughter has spent the past 10 minutes “doing daddy’s hair” with crayons and an expo marker.

They really have to cancel the whole NFL in London thing.
