Driving down to #awp2025 on Thursday. Double edged sword that it's close by: makes sense to go; but also not ready for the overwhelm!

I've watched and rewatched this clip. Mike Myers is brilliant -- perfectly captures Elmo's infantile, desperate churlishness.

Fascists HATE satire. It cuts autocrats down to size, undermines their authority. It right-sizes things. The great Russian poet Osip Mandelstam got sent to the Gulag in the mid 1930s for describing Stalin in less-than-flattering terms in his "Stalin Epigram." Bravo to this anonymous satirist.

I've never ever seen graffiti in my boring little corner of Goleta, CA. People are pissed off.

Graffiti on a pavement reads "Elon Musk is a Nazi"

Great piece by @rtraister.bsky.social -- love this analysis of why Trump is sticking by/pushing thru such an obviously underqualified trainwreck. Because if his administraiton *honestly* felt secure in "owning the libs" they wouldn't need this spectacle. Worth a read for its conclusion alone!

Just learned it was the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake's passing, in 1974, at age 26. Along with Elliott Smith and Paul Simon, my favorite acoustic strummers/songwriters. Pink Moon is a perfect song. Here's a remastered version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdl-...

This sent me chasing down the various Virginia Woolf nonfiction I have...her edited notebooks and the 2nd Common Reader. Wow. The breadth and precision of her writing...the sense of deep consciousness at work. Breathtaking!

TW: The Pete Hegseth report is truly vile. One random note that's actually quite fitting is that the r*pe is alleged to have happened the night of Oct 7-8 2017...2 days after the Harvey Weinstein story broke in the NYT -- and 1 year to the day (10-7-2016) that Trump's Access H'wood tape leaked.

A jacket you can wear forever...and ever...and ever...

Facebook ad for Vintage Style Revival jacket - the pattern of which resembles the (in)famous carpet of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

Spending far too much time setting up this account, which inevitably leads to a question posed long ago by ELO: Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why...
