Merriweather Post Pavilion 6/30/1985. I was there! (… or at least a previous version of me was.) My sons got me this limited edition 4 LP vinyl for my recent birthday. #NowPlaying #GratefulDead #vinyl #SummerMagic1985

Got a new Bob Dylan double live album. Tombstone Blues feels right in light of today’s farcical SCOTUS rulings. #vinyl #nowplaying #dylan

The album that confirmed me as a DeadHead. From track 1 Bertha to the final Not Fade Away>GDTRFB, the layered textures captured me. #NowPlaying #vinyl #GratefulDead #SkullandRoses

I recommend this little gem by Princeton philosophy professor Harry Frankfurt, in which he argues that eradicating inequality is not a valuable or morally defensible goal. Rather, we must reframe the effort in terms of eliminating poverty. We must demonstrate that wealth hoarders cause poverty.

"There are things you can replace, And others you cannot. The time has come to weigh those things. This space is getting hot. You know this space is getting hot." ~ "Althea" #GratefulDead Feels apropos as we watch the destruction of the White House, much of which can never be rebuilt or replaced

For those indulging magical thinking that a savior will arise from this group, remember Michael Flynn was also one one of them.

"Reckoning" seems apropos, no? More than ever, I'm grateful to have discovered and lived with this music for more than four decades. In these confusing days, there's never been a better time to "listen to the music play." #vinyl #whatsplaying #gratefuldead #reckoning

If you can find one or all of these, they’re spiritual gold. Finney was educated as a lawyer. His sermons and writing follow a clear, convincing logic. Systematic Theology is one of the most comprehensive examinations of Christianity and moral agency ever written.

Unfortunately for me and the country, Mark Harris is my congressional representative from NC 8th district. I got this email newsletter from Harris this morning: The subject line's propaganda prompted me to respond. Following is my email response using Harris's email portal.

Saw this sign while driving to a neighborhood party yesterday. I asked those I was driving if they'd mind going to the party without me so I could watch what happens when residents are caught.

If you count yourself among the resistance, "On Tyranny" by Yale history professor @timothysnyder.bsky.social is required reading. 20 short, salient lessons to internalize and practice.

From Yale Professor Timothy Snyder's short (91-page) primer, On Tyranny. I highly recommend it. We're there.
