Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Happy 100th Birthday to the inimitable, innovative and imposing bassist Ray Brown, b. 10/13/26 in Pittsburgh. If you don't know his 1972 duet LP with Duke Ellington, "This One's For Blanton," the angels weep for you. One of the greatest records of the '70s. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fIul...

A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?

Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

This is the behavior of a dictator. All elected officials must full-throatedly condemn this lawless act of intimidation. I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

I agree it feels different. If you reduce it down, he’s literally just doing the job. BUT he’s doing it in a virtuosic fashion. That means picking the correct tasks, and selling the ish out of them.

Israel has left Gaza devastated: 134K+ buildings destroyed, 74,000+ Palestinians killed and mass displacement. In the West Bank, Israeli settlement expansion and settler attacks are accelerating as Palestinians are expelled from their homes and land. It is genocide. Survivors ask: "Where do we go?"

This is like I’ve tried to listen to Vox podcasts reporting on AI, and the first add is always for Claude or Gemini or something. Then I turn it off

It sold out fast. I was on it. Could’ve been on the floor if I hadn’t been trying to do it on my phone. Locking down four tickets was pretty hard.

Didn’t know, man is one man’s garbage another’s treasure. To think these tracks didn’t make a double album (+ a 4-song 45.) Makes me all the more excited for Nov 19 at the Garden.

It’s Ellington Sunday over here so you know what we’re listening to. Maintaining my streak of not having heard that song. Hoping it stays that way. Don’t need any cachet. Thank u

I always check my mixes on the phone these days, but I do love mono. Fun to do every once in a while.
