Stay alert.
Do your work.
Don’t worry about the world going by.
It doesn’t mean you can sit around & not do anything,
You’ve got to get your butt in gear & do it.
Don’t take no for an answer.
Translate those ideas to cinema or a painting or whatever.
Figure out a way to get it done.

I saw Top Secret in the theater and was in on Val Kilmer from the jump. Real Genius, Top Gun, The Doors, absolutely. True Romance, Willow. He gives my favorite performance of anyone, among the giants in Heat. I saw Tombstone in the theater three times. His performance there? Just my game.

One of the many thoughts/realizations I had while working for 5 years on Thank You For Your Service was that the United States should build a monument on the mall in DC in memory and acknowledgment of civilians we have killed in historical war efforts.
It hasn't been a well received idea.

Rewatched Remo Williams; a pulpy action fav to catch on HBO as a kid. Haven't seen it in 35 yrs, and it's got its moments as a time-capsule action romp through NYC circa 1985, but yeesh.

Hey, I wanna let you know that I am now running my mastering practice from the excellent Tonal Park Studios.
I’m excited about this.
I am best known for mastering the Fugazi catalogue, work I am indeed very proud of. But in the past, this resulted in a certain kind of pigeonholing.

Emel at Pioneer Works last night was incredible. She’s a Tunisian-American artist whose album The Tunis Diaries I became obsessed with five years ago. Her new album is an electro-pop celebration of female creativity that moves hearts, minds, and feet on the dance floor. She’s on tour now. 🙌🖤

Democrats are historically impotent, but their lack of leadership in this moment when channeling righteous indignation would net them massive support points to active corruption.
Stand up for what's right Chuck Schumer or get out of the way.

I've never been a fan of my Senator Chuck Schumer, but what he is doing right now is beyond the pale. Unacceptable. IT will cost him his seat eventually, and hopefully his leadership position ASAP. He isn't fit for this moment.

The saddest truth revealed by Trump and the modern GOP is that there is literally nothing of value in this nation that doesn't depend upon good faith involvement of individuals.
When an entire party just decides that laws, morality, and justice itself doesn't matter?
Nothing matters.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Woke up with "I Can't Stand It" by Lou Reed in my head, so I'm starting my work day with a full listen to Reed's incredible box(ed) set Between Thought And Expression.
Was one of my first CD box(ed) sets back in 1992. Listened all the time, but it's been a while.
