Somebody was asking me tonight: Why can't Dems ever get their act together? Me (approx): Yes, sure. But can you remember a stronger slate than Dems are putting up in big races right now? Cooper? Ossoff + Bottoms? Talarico + Hinojosa? Turek + Sand? Benson + El-Sayed? Brown + Acton? Hamilton? Etc

Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

Here's a parody about the price of gas having soared (with everything else) since the Iran war, called "Gasoline". It's adapted from the classic "Jolene" by the incredible Dolly Parton who sadly died a few weeks ago, but left an incredible legacy of music, generosity & heart ❤️ youtu.be/WhwPBlI4u0A
