@tedleo.bsky.social Long-time fan (of you and John Prine) and caught that John Prine tribute show last night with you, Laura Cantrell, and others. Man, your version of "Everybody Wants to Feel Like You" was knockdown incredible. Wow! Great night.

Perfect.
A meme showing the same Oval Office photo used earlier, with Donald Trump standing in the foreground while others appear to help someone who has fallen in the background. Text labels have been added: “REPUBLICANS” over Trump and “US ECONOMY” over the group in the background.

Saw Life of Chuck at a preview. I'm a fan of Flanagan (director). A very heart-warming, non-horror movie. It made me laugh, cry a little, and think about it for a few days. To paraphrase the late basketball coach Jim Valvano--that's a heck of day. Young actor--Chuck in mid school--was phenomenal.

This memoir by indie rock's Neko Case (her own band, and New Pornographers) is incredible. She survived a rough childhood (poor, neglected) to carve out beauty as an artist and badass rocknrolla. If you like rock bios, this is great stuff. #NEKOCASE

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:
Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.
