#NowPlaying @NothingManor: Sixpence None the Richer - Live at Gruene Hall (2025) Leigh Nash and Co. are fantastic musicians who had a few pop hits and are pigeonholed as “Christian”, but are mostly progressive pop & their live shows are amazing. #music

‘We Just Got Elon Musk-ed’
Bari Weiss’s first major move as CBS News chief has staffers on edge—ordering every journalist to submit a written memo justifying their work, in an apparent Elon Musk-style loyalty test.
Hello and happy Saturday,
Bari Weiss is taking a page out of Elon Musk’s playbook. Days after taking over as editor in chief of CBS News, Weiss sent the network’s journalists an email Friday that set off alarm bells. Every staffer, she said, must write for her a memo by Tuesday detailing how they spend their working hours, what they’ve produced, what’s broken, and how they’d fix it.
In her memo, The Free Press founder framed the …

If this is the best the left can muster, then this country is right fukt. If #TFG & Co. can pass notes and learn all their lines, the #Democrats should be able to fire back just as easily. And yet, there’s no energy. Shit. #uspol #hakeemjeffries #mikelawler #fascism youtu.be/PuNTonzel…

Managing a difficult time in life...
It’s been some time since I’ve posted on the regular. It’s been painful being unable to write reliably. Dealing with a wide range of issues like deteriorating joint pain and long Covid featuring intense tinnitus, brain fog, and exhaustion, among other issues, has made writing anything a significant challenge. It cycles in and out, sometimes over months, and I now seem to be in a place where I can start posting again.
I don’t know how long it will last.
For some time I posted what I was listening to. The only reason I stopped is because the only thing I’ve been able to listen to that would calm my tinnitus is Big Wreck. Great band, for sure, but likely not attractive for others to just see repeat plays from one …
