PSA: if you're dining out in a restaurant or otherwise interacting with someone in a service industry (every day, but especially today), be thankful and gracious. Most of them aren't with their family in order to take care of your needs.
Happy Turkey Day, friends.

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Jellybean Johnson's sudden passing. To know that this amazing personality will no longer randomly show up (like here on @recordstoreday.bsky.social 2023) to light up the store and talk music and life and Minneapolis Sound Museum with us is heartbreaking.💔

The stuff normal people don’t know about Houston City Council
Councilmembers don’t have that much power. A new mayor alters the vibe. And other stuff most Houstonians don’t realize.

Op-Ed: Tune out cable news and turn away fear

If anyone in Houston hasn't voted and wasn't going to vote but doesn't have anything else going on, you might as well find a place in your neighborhood to vote and can I encourage you to vote for Jordan Thomas for City Council, who I believe will do his part to keep Whitmire in check? Thanks.
