Butterglory was awesome and this is one of my favorite songs (also helps that the Wedding Present is one of my favorites bands)

How about discount Marc Maron?

I would have expected “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Portland can go harder than this.

Declan MacManus? He's already been mentioned.

Justin Carinci @justincarinci.bsky.social · 2d

Me too. There was some great energy in the American church in opposition to Rome. Now it feels like the opposite.

Enough with the car washes already

An application obtained through the Michigan Freedom of Information Act shows that a limited liability company called Stadium Drive #1 is behind the recent request to rezone land adjacent to Asylum Lake Preserve.

See the application to rezone land near the Asylum Lake Preserve

The car wash proprietor who owns the land has sought to rezone and develop it before. Proposals to build next to the nature preserve have proven controversial.

I totally hear lots of "tronno," but I get a bigger kick out of Canadian announcers calling Detroit "dee-TROY-it."

Writing job applications messes with your head. You can’t just use a food processor anymore, you “demonstrate expert-level use of Microsoft Food.”

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up zip-tied to a Calder.

That day will be known as the Meeting of Waters.

I'd nominate John's former collaborator Franklin Bruno (of Nothing Painted Blue, the Human Hearts, solo). Bruno also wrote the 33 1/3 book on Armed Forces by Elvis Costello (who earns some nods himself in the best lyricist category).

Yes, this does a far better job than most. Honest effort.

Good dog!

My first thought was that I'd never noticed this. My second thought was some terrifying introspection.

I have a hard time with some of the fall warblers, but that seems like a good answer given the beak.

Justin Carinci @justincarinci.bsky.social · 4d

Ooh, they’re talking about @themountaingoats.bsky.social?

I was going to guess James was the Baldwin in question, and that certainly seems to be true, but is there a reason for not naming him in the article?

Justin Carinci @justincarinci.bsky.social · 10d

Sounds interesting!

This coming Monday, October 6th, I'm doing a 1 hour event talking about @equitablegrowth.bsky.social's inequality tracker and new gov data on inequality. Anyone can join, come check it out! (registration link in the next skeet)

A stacked bar graph showing the evolution of income for bottom 50% households over the course of the last economic expansion (2009-2019). It shows that these households saw their income growth by a bit less than 30%, compared to about 41% for top 10% households.

The stacked bars show what components of income made up this growth. About half was from wages, with most of the rest from increased transfer payments.

So sorry! Sounds terrible

It's stopped raining. Everybody's in the play
And don't you know it's a beautiful new day?

I was just on the Women Donors Network site and came across the illustration video. It’s amazing! I should have known it was you
