One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Remember artists: If someone approaches you for your art, then tells you to lower your price or else they’ll just get AI to do it, they’re lying! They already tried AI. It failed. That’s why they’re coming to you. People always want free (ai) until it sucks, then they try the premium option (you)

Had a wonderful time playing with "The Beast" Mandy Gonzalez at Broadway and Vine! I still cannot believe I got to play Breathe with her. What a powerhouse! And the whole gig was in great hands with Music Direction by the incredible Jim Abbott. A monster player and class act!

This is terrifying, so please read this as cope: The Wilshire Federal Building is 15 *miles* from the protests in downtown Los Angeles. It is a half-hour drive. You could fit an entire Manhattan, the long way, between them.

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult ** You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Off-loading Federal expenses to the States seems like a sensible idea for a Republican administration, until you realize: Nine of the ten States that rely most on Government funding -- all receiving more money per capita than they pay in taxes -- voted Red in the last election.

Folks, can we please revisit, review, and understand what an "Executive Order" is? It's not a law. It's not a regulation. It isn't "passed." It's not anything that anyone *has* to listen to *unless* there is a law in place *requiring* them to do so. cc: nearly everygoddamnbody

Very hard to imagine why Canada and Greenland don't want to be part of a country that offers its citizens no health care, has no department of education and will soon have no other social services. I don't get it. What is wrong with these people?
