Trying to find the balance between expressing and impressing myself..
Spurred by a positive review in the Wire, yet took another 20 years before music became my profession. Made some docs in between. Let’s exchange recipes.

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.
What happened next?
Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

This week I learned about Menstrual Stem Cells and how this is a breakthrough in medicine.. but why do they have to be called “MenSCs”?? Why not take the men out of this one and just call them MSCs?

So how can we negotiate turbulent conversations as they evolve this Christmas? Is there a way to keep the peace while also addressing some of the content or is it better to simply avoid the problem all together?

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

I’m sorry but a society can’t herald this type of moral position when the violence of the health insurance industry is fully normalised. All of the violence is enmeshed together when an exploiting human suffering for profit industry exists. Stop
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK
