The LeBron James of classical music. Started going deaf in my 20s. Finished going deaf in my 50s. NOT a parody account! "The situation is desperate, but not serious."

quick question, mike if the public polling is so biased against you surely you’ve got internal polling that looks better you could release *puts finger to ear* “apocalyptic” you say?

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

Doctors are asked to make moral decisions when it comes to abortions in ban states like Texas and if they make the wrong judgment call, they could end up in jail for 99 years. Their medical judgment means basically bupkis.

Democrats don’t just need to win, they need to win by margins that make Republican ratfucking ineffective and pundits‘ efforts to downplay a mandate laughable. Pour it on. Do not let up.

Nope. Abortion rights are in danger because we don't have many leaders willing to stand up and say it's a social good. Instead they talk about "women's repro healthcare." Abortion is so popular that Colorado's repro health amendment with no fetal viability ban passed in Lauren Boebert's district.

I really liked Lanterns, despite the fact that some of the commentary on parenting and purpose hit quite close to home. Maybe because of it.

Still putting this in the ether -- I would love to see Marvel's Dazzler played by Keke Palmer. She can sing and act, she's a great homage to the original concept being a Black disco queen, and seeing her adapted to a modern story about trying to make it big as a mutant rnb singer would slap.

One of the biggest problems with social media is the number of people who use it to just fire off any thought that comes into their head but insist that everyone else’s posts must be deeply considered expressions of perfect rational and political thought.

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

On this day in 1802 I wrote a will and testament where I revealed to the world that I was going deaf. I wrote other wills after the Heiligenstadt Testament, but I held onto this one for the rest of my life.

Green Party conference just voted in favour of this motion, and this time, in the hall itself, specifically voted against an amendment which would have removed the element about “Zionist Synagogues”. As a result, for most Jews the Green Party will now be considered to have a policy of antisemitism.
