Mike Richmond premieres “Without An Audience,” born while learning Bob Dylan’s “Blind Willie McTell,” struck by the line: “And his only audience was the moon and stars.” It connects to Richmond’s reflection on why artists keep creating without applause. americanbluesscene.com/2026/…

In which the brilliant Elizabeth Nelson folds Alex Chilton and Steve Cropper into the same song as part of a larger, sharply observed story. It’s the kind of writerly ambition only she pulls off. youtu.be/AEoBykM8aIc?si=zG8V…

It wasn't misunderstood. You are putting forward, on the show and now, that people seeing images of the genocide by Israel that the US is enabling is "disinformation" by Iran and Qatar. One of the most heinous atrocities in our lifetime, and you are providing cover for it.

Yeah, I messed up on this one. And I’m sorry. I was trying to raise awareness about foreign adversaries creating chaos online - which is undermining democracy everywhere. But what I said was easily misunderstood, and the way I said it was flat-out insensitive. Babies are dying every day in Gaza. Nobody should dispute that fact or make light of it in any way. To the people living in fear and burying family members every day, of all ages — I apologize.

Truly disgraceful and vile @VanJones68. I’m sorry dead Gaza babies bother you so much. Maybe tell the people paying you to put lipstick on a genocide to stop killing them.

Bodies swing from Mississippi trees days after the leader of Amerikkka’s H*tler Youth was killed by an even-more-N@zi yt supremacist. The sitting VP takes over the H*tler Youth podcast, as liberals still weep for the dead N@zi. The second apparent lynching btw was of an unhoused yt man- days after a Fox News host called for lethal injections of the homeless. US politics in 2025
