SpaceX made its debut on Wall Street today. The rocket company helmed by Elon Musk could become the biggest initial public offering ever. And the IPO made Musk a trillionaire. Here's some perspective from Erik Gordon, a prof at #UMich's Ross School of Business. Contact @jkaroub.bsky.social f/more.

Bravo. Still can’t get over the fact that my old man — also still kicking in his mid-‘90s—used to play with Johnny Williams in Air Force bands when they were both stationed in Newfoundland during the Korean War.

@donmoyn.bsky.social, professor of public policy @umfordschool.bsky.social, discusses with @nytimes.com how the "Trump Revolution" is going further to control institutions they deem as harmful. 🔗 Read more: myumi.ch/w94ZJ

"Every part of the federal government is aligned on the project of bringing private institutions to heel. ... I cannot think of any prior presidential administration that has invested so much preparation and political capital on asserting control of institutions they perceive as hostile, often using extralegal means to do so," said Don Moynihan, professor of public policy

“Out of the three mass shootings TODAY” is one of the most tragic uniquely-American sentences out there. Most developed countries average zero per year. We have single days where you have to ask “which” when someone talks about a mass shooting.

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

Thanks, Americana UK, for writing about my new tune, which at least aspires to honor many sounds & styles and under Americana’s big tent—from Motown to Memphis and a bit of the Big Easy.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

Jeff Karoub's "Come Back to Ourselves" pays tribute to music made in Detroit, Memphis, and New Orleans. It's also a soulful collaboration with Darrin James and several musicians at Ann Arbor's Ravine Records. Give it a spin! jeffkaroub.bandcamp.com/track/come-b...

This is what we need more of, from @charliesavage.bsky.social. Factual reporting on the laws as they are understood to exist, as well as documentation of how Trump has violated them. "If the President does it, its not illegal" is not consistent with a democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

I love this recent pic of me by my friend (and bandmate) George Luckey because it reminds me how you’re fortunate as a singer-songwriter to find an audience of any size—and listeners ‘complete the song,’ as Paul Simon said. Playing in a historic mansion is a bonus. Thanks to all who support!
