Everyone should watch/listen to this and be reminded of what America believed after the last excursion into unfettered oligarchy. The rich were so undone by FDR that they created term limits and set about dismantling every single thing he did to make America great
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Unrelated to today's posts, still sad—but the song's a bit lighter.

It's also been ten years since Allen Toussaint passed. King of New Orleans.

Put on some Labelle. Put on some Meters. Put on whatever you please, but listen to this first. Thankful for good music and life.

Good Ol' Sunday Morning.

Last night, Tedeschi Trucks Band helped celebrate Joe cocker's induction into the RRHOF. This performance of "The Letter" with Leon russell is why, more or less. so cool they did this and the album and video of it is terrific.

Worked on this piece about @widespreadpanic.com on and off for a year, and it's not a piece about music. It's a piece about music fans, and how this band has built a world for them that's stood for nearly 40 years.

uber/googlemaps/wayz have really taken the “i have no idea where i am without the blue line” to a new level. how i long for a cognitively aware human being with innate knowledge of their local environs.

Fascism is not an ideology or even a political system. Fascism is the absence of reason and morality that lives in the hearts of men so scared of their absence of character that they will destroy anything to mute the screaming demons that have eaten their souls.

the hoodie was invented in the 1930s by champion.

before that, people just let their heads get wet and were much less cozy.

then nothing happened for 95 years.

until the pickles made it tan, said “pickles” on it, and made it cool.

be cool, get one ➡️ bit.ly/4o9dd8B

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
