I've always wanted to compose film scores, but for now, I'll settle for this inadvertent, ominous one-note piano soundtrack to cranberries. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow.
Wishing you homemade cranberry sauce

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.

It's going to be a special #Fishmas season this year!
🎶From Atlantic to Pacific, gee the fish facts are terrific!🎶
#25DaysofFishmas is hitting the road! While there's no place like H.O.M.E.S. for the holidays, we'll be traveling beyond the #GreatLakes this year to learn about freshwater fishes from across the US. The road trip kicks off December 1!

Really disappointed to discover that juststrings.com has gone out of business. I usually placed a big order there about once a year to cover all the stringed instruments in the house. 🧵

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

You may not be able change anybody's mind with truth or logic, but it's still good to know this stuff from someone who knows the law:
Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Sen. @durbin.senate.gov has squandered the good will and legacy he earned through decades of service by capitulating at the critical moment. Now we must pressure Reps. Krishnamoorthi and Kelly, if they want that senate seat, to do their jobs in the house and fight with Leader Jeffries.

After a visit to the ENT doctor and audiologist yesterday, I've been thinking about this song. Turns out today is also the anniversary of Mimi Parker's death in 2022.

Happy Birthday to Eugene V. Debs. Born #OTD in 1855.
"They tell us that we live in a great free republic; that our institutions are democratic; that we are a free and self-governing people. This is too much, even for a joke. But it is not a subject for levity; it is an exceedingly serious matter."
