Longtime CFO and “business guy” turned working drummer with a minor case of music addiction. Coffee. Gin Martinis. Bears. White Sox. Hoosiers. That’s the great Elvin Jones, if you’re wondering.

Whether it's Donald Trump giving $5 million to a woman he raped or Joe Biden giving a $10 to a cashier for a pint of Jeni's, both candidates have had some unusual expenditures.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

This is monstrous, evil shit "Cemetery officials confirmed to Task & Purpose that the pages were unpublished” to meet recent orders by President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military."

Man, I don’t know. We’ve turned into “THAT COUNTRY” in the international sphere and have nobody to blame but ourselves. I will keep fighting and working for a better USA. But to all my international friends … I’m sorry. What a cluster.

Dear Some Arab States (namely Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE), I'm sorry your bribes haven't worked out how you hoped. Maybe an American president with integrity and credibility who's interested in upholding the "rules-based order" was more in your interest. Whoops. Signed, Anti-corruption Americans
