I've tried to live that way.

L.A. 1970s/80s punk scene luminary oft-drunk R&B singer Top Jimmy’s sole 1981 LP has been re-released. Used to love to watch him perform alongside members of X, The Blasters etc, also used to chat with him as he washed dishes at L.A. joint Cathay De Grande topjimmyandtherhythmpigs.bandcamp.com/album/pigus-dr…

In south Lebanon, “Paramedics said that because they may be targeted by Israeli strikes, they [are] taking precautions so that if they are killed, others do not die alongside them...They sleep in ambulances parked far apart, so a single strike does not kill them all.”

It’s the Gaza game plan again, I can’t believe the world is letting them get away with it: “Since the war began on 2 March, Israel has struck at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon, killing 40 healthcare workers, wounding 107.” theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

.@RBReich and @MartyManley explain why Iran is smartly fighting an asymmetric war against the U.S. and Israel, causing them numerous complicating problems around the region and impelling to do even more stupid strategic moves long-term. Trump is a rube. robertreich.substack.com/p/playing-it-s…

The latest of many examples of the Trump administration across the federal government telling us that they don’t give a sh*t about black people, and want them to return to the segregation and discrimination of the 1950s--and worse. (@WashingtonPost)

Some in Washington would rather make it harder for you to vote than actually pursue an agenda that makes your life better.

Make this make sense. Sorry for the cliché, but the Trump administration couldn’t plan a piss-up in a brewery. (@WashingtonPost)

Going to war with a country, then immediately floating the idea of lifting sanctions on its oil to prevent your own economic collapse, is the definition of strategic failure

Here’s the thing: wars have budget costs, and they have economic costs. The first shows up in government accounts. The second shows up as less national income. Spread across households, that’s roughly $2,000 to $5,000 per family.

@MikeStaresinic true!

@CultrHack Herbie Hock still tells anecdote with Miles. Mikes told him 2 things: the quiet or silence is as valuable as the notes. Hancock took it as metaphor. "No. I really mean it." Paraphrasing. Or was Sonny Rolling, oh memory. Next,

My kingdom for a transcript.

@69barnabus69 @RoyRogers_HTMS they should've been arrested

x.com/RoyRogers_HTMS… When Dr. John and Jools Holland sat down for an epic piano duel in 1988, the poor keys never knew what hit them! 🎹🔥 Two boogie-woogie masters going head-to-head, pounding out rhythms like they’re trying to knock the lid off the piano. Top hats, wild energy, and pure musical mayhem—vintage chaos at its finest. Who needs subtlety when you’ve got this much soul? 😂 #BoogieWoogie #PianoDuel #1988Vibes

@leland52 @msnow @AliVelshi @jacobsoboroff @SRuhle good point

@CultrHack @msnow @AliVelshi @jacobsoboroff @SRuhle An hour of Stephanie Ruhle in the morning, and an hour less of Morning Joe, is a win/win.

Some mostly good changes at @MSNOW, especially promoting @AliVelshi, one of the most tweeted people on this account, and @JacobSoboroff. And I hope we will still receive @SRuhle’s skilled economic and financial coverage in her new daytime slot. theguardian.com/media/2026/mar…

No Kings. March 28th. Make a plan for where you'll be and bring your family and friends. nokings.org

I'm shocked and horrified by this wanton display.

Before @Springsteen, Philip Roth was representing New Jersey, bless him.

As Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl ratings proved, and as reported below by @NeilShahWrites of @WSJ, our current music streaming era is demonstrably expanding listener exposure to global sounds in the US and UK, with non-English songs getting much more popular. youtube.com/watch?v=kHlchL…

For USA's 250th b'day, Trump administration is returning a statue of a slave owner that was removed in 2020, placing it in a federal park named after Dr King Jr for 6 months. As journalist @Eugene_Robinson says, "this is a middle finger" to many in America youtube.com/watch?v=FyVzi1…

A smoke and a cup of joe, 1963.

Fascinating report and research from @McKayCoppins at @TheAtlantic on the purposely highly addictive world of online betting and gambling online, especially among young men: sports, politics, war etc. Lots of unethical insider trading involved, too: youtube.com/watch?v=U3bJk3…
