Holocaust Memorial Day. Thinking of my mom, who lost her dad at a concentration camp, but escaped France with her brother, sister, and mother with the assistance of a French resistor (who eventually became her brother in law). Their story is documented at the National Museum.

We lost mom last July.

S3 of “Hacks” is off to a hilarious start. #cosotv

Just took a nice long bike ride with the wife. I always ask her to lead because “i can never remember the route” but I think she knows I just want to stare at her butt the whole time.

Godspeed Porkins, you poor doomed bastard. He wasn't even supposed to be there. #starwars

Sooo….what are all the pro-hamas Jew haters (and whether they admit it or not thats what they are) going to be angry about when its not cool to be angry about Gaza anymore? And are we “zionist hoodlums” aka ACTUAL JEWS supposed to just say “yeah well all that hateful ignorant shit you said because you never read a book or talked to a jew in your fucking white anglo privileged life is all forgiven..we cool, Gentile…we cool”. I dont think so. Kind of done forgiving the ignorant.

Barely 7am on a Saturday and theres already a snake oil salesperson flooding the hose with miracle cures. As for me, I get the medicine at the corner of Block St and Ave

CORRECTION:
Snarls is from COLUMBUS, OHIO, not Chicago.

Please carry on.

🎧 Snarls, "With Love". Seriously, head over to Snarls' bandcamp page and purchase this album (available in multiple formats). These kids from Chicago went to Norway, to a remote town, with a great producer (Chris Walla) and came back with an alt-indie pop masterpiece. Yeah, it's that good. Don't question me. I've been watching this band for years and I consider this a reward.

After 100 years, famed in song and story, SAM ASH music stores is closing ALL of it's locations. Some good friends of mine have worked there or still work there. It's a tremendous loss for the retail music business. They always took it pretty seriously, expanded their offerings into education, promotion, charity, etc. Lots of great memories of the NY and Indy stores. Good luck to everyone about to enter the job market. Sad day.

So its NY vs. IND in the NBA semi final. My hometown vs. my current town. Who do i root for?? Well, mostly my wife, my daughter, and my sons gf - none of whom give a crap and now have to suffer thru another playoff round dominating the living room tv.

can someone explain to me why the UAW has a chapter that represents post-doctoral scholars and researchers? I don't see the connection. Thanks for any info.

Happy Birthday @northernbassist !

"Von Shitzenpants" is now entered into the #orangedroolius" court record.

I'm dead.

No spoilers. The “Bad Batch” finale was really good. The way Omega evolved from a very typical annoying #starwars character (right up there with pre-teen Anakin) into one of the most likeable and fearless characters in the SWU was perfectly executed by Feloni and crew. Hemlock is a top tier SW villain. Well done.

At Columbia, it seems the focus has shifted, again.

Stop the war>Stop Israeli aggression>Free Palestine>Destroy Israel>Kill the Zionists>Kill the Jews>Divest from Israel>Jews off OUR campus>Cops off OUR campus

Okay, kids, you do you. Let me know how this all works out for you.

That one guy (house I pass every day) finally took down his #orangedroolius flag! Replaced it with a POW/MIA flag.

🎧 Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, "Bird and Diz". My 15yo watched "Whiplash" a few days ago and wanted to hear jazz that sounded "less like the music from a tv cop show". I suggested he start with Charlie Parker, and he's been listening to "The Savoy/Dial Master Takes". This is my next rec to him - a Verve session from 1950 with Buddy on drums and Monk on piano. It's only 20 minutes, but it is seriously hot shit.
