none of us are immune to propaganda or misinformation. i recently unwittingly reposted a story that turned out to be unverifiable & i have seen more fake stories circulating. yet ppl in the comments were stuck on "it feels emotionally true". that is a really dangerous place to be. that's not okay.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Last night I dreamt that Rick and Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls had a new band called Dim Sum and they were going to be playing a strip mall near where I live.

The president of the US is a pathological liar, a vicious sadist, a vile misogynist, a convicted criminal, an alleged child rapist, a gutter-level racist, and a traitor.

While driving last night, I heard this song on the radio, immediately followed by “Blues Connotation”. It’s been decades since I heard Ornette on the radio, and then I got two in a row. Lucky night!

I had a dream it was the 80s, but I was in my twenties. Lost in a strange big city, I met Rosanna Arquette, who took me under her wing. She took me to some sort of gathering where she introduced me to her friends William S. Burroughs, Spalding Gray and Pee-Wee Herman.

PETITION: Don't Ban Books in the United States
Proposed censorship measures in several states could deny your right to read some books in our Nation's libraries and lead to librarians facing criminal charges for the books on the shelves.

Crocus Behemoth, aka David Thomas, has died. This seems like a good time to mention my suspicion that the first three Pere Ubu singles represent the greatest trilogy of consecutive singles ever by anyone. Am I wrong?

Think hard about people who are opposed to inclusion and equality. Are we editing the Declaration of Independence? Has anyone checked on if it's been outlawed as wrongthink, yet? Are your enemies teachers and scientists? Librarians and doctors? You might be doing it wrong is all I'm saying.

Saw A Complete Unknown last week. If you feel that an artist whose best work is complex, deep, and even visionary should be celebrated by a film which is simplistic, shallow and uncreative, this movie is perfect for you.
