Giuliani will be the first Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient to be caught freeing his Johnson in a hotel room in a Borat comedy movie. Perhaps the Hawk Tuah girl will also receive one at the same ceremony… 😀

A Jeopardy champion's vows: “Do you take this man… What's Amodio, do be your lawfully wedded husband?” 😀
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
If you want to support news that doesn't tell you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears, help @thexylom.com hire a full-time Managing Editor so I can have more support reporting on Trump's assault on evidence-based policy and democracy: fundrazr.com/campaigns/th...
As of 3:20 pm ET, @thexylom.com is projecting roughly 220k - 492k Americans attending Labor Day rallies nationwide, using a methodology developed by @gelliottmorris.com. That would put "Workers over Billionaires" on track as one of the 20 largest protests and demonstrations in American history:

Sorry I didn't realize you are in the UK and not shipping to the U.S. currently. Hopefully, fiscal sanity (and otherwise) will reign again…
It seems clear now that the Majestic Diner being open 24 hours was part of the glue of the universe and I need the current owners to respect that…
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Well shit. In the same week that @nytimes.com does a story on the @ajc.com ending its print edition, the Sunday Times includes “the last ever” Special Kids Section, which is always their best designed section. I guess we will be staring into our black mirrors forever. C'mon, electromagnetic pulse!
Just shared your Etsy shop on my FB page. Most of my friends are artsy, literary, aging rock and rollers. So, yer welcome and good luck filling the orders… 😉
For those of y'all sane folks who aren't on FB. The ’Larks are playing a free show tonight at Thinking Man Tavern in Decatur. Come in your Dragon Con outfit and it’s… EVEN FREER!
When they say the quiet part out loud…
This is good advice, but however you make the sausage… just make it! #keepondoing
RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
The gap between a burger’s glamour shot on the menu and what is delivered continues to grow. Yes, I’m looking at you, Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. 😕
BREAKING: @decaturish.bsky.social to buy @ajc.com, rename it “Atlantish” and restore it to print! #writersembellishment
Kavner-iffic! 💙
I once started to read the Tibetan Book of the Dead for some metaphysical advice. In the beginning there was a passage that said (loosely remembered): “Before you are born, you will be shown a lot of families. If you see a rich one, go towards them!” I put down the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Oyster Po Boy at Casamento's in the Garden District? Bound to be some good music going on…
Memo to the @ajc.com. Maybe it's not the physical media that is the problem? archive.ph/MJ736
Have a great show, Lloyd!
Tapping the sign…
Instead of, you know, roadkill enthusiast and chef. 🙄
[This is good]
As a parent, the one thing that could give me a fucking sliver of peace in this country is if legislators actually did something about access to guns
Happy 81st Birthday, Mo Tucker (right wing craziness and all, you are a musical original and icon)!
The ’Larks will be getting out of the nest this Saturday to play a free show at Thinking Man Tavern in Decatur of songs from their first and upcoming album and folk songs of the 20th Century (read: ’Mats covers!)
The time has come, Seven Pitches said, to speak of cabbages and Kings… 😉
Hey, it’s @jaykaplan.bsky.social’s birthday today. Go check out some @zerobabiesfl.bsky.social music in his honor. Long may you run, Jay! zerobabies.bandcamp.com

New Constitutional right just dropped…
Tapping the “Once America decided shooting children was OK the gun debate was over” sign once again… 🙁
Your “Yes” votes in action, @ossoff.bsky.social and @warnock.senate.gov…
I'm with Nourished. This is great!
That was great, Lee. Thanks!
First, we break the internet. Then, we dance in the streets…
“Bumper stickers should be issued!”
Had to look up “Alexander Calder bed,” and as tiny Christian Bale shouts in “Empire of the Sun”: “There was opulence!” rarevintage.blogspot.com/2014/08/insp...
Nothing says “I Don't Really Care, Do You?” more than this news.
It must be interesting to be teaching Political Science and Policy Studies these days. “Some day, the rule of law will be put back in place… ” “Hypothetically, this is the way our government is supposed to work… ”
They should have let him cook. We could have had nice things.
Anybody believing this guy on this subject needs to Google “Jim Jordan” and “crying.”
I thought the same thing until a friend posted on FB about their “Wednesday” special Frostys and I learned of the tie-in…
@remhq.bsky.social tribute band name: Kayfables of the Reconstruction! 😉
They probably made a run to the marquee letters store and got there after closing…
A still from the forthcoming Wes Anderson film…
So, you're saying Trump should follow the lead of a Democratic governor? 😀 (Would love to hear the hemming and hawing that would ensue…)
Still with us, though, right? 😀
@ronsexsmith.bsky.social playing this John Sebastian tune originally done by The Everly Brothers led me down a rabbit hole to this rare version by Tom Petty… youtu.be/AP9nassRt2Y?...
The internet is for music recommendations…
The other Pro Football… #NIL
Atlanta is definitely in need of some real change. Let's do this…
Oh, I agree with both of these posts. There is a whole generation of great musicians still playing clubs and theatres when they should be filling arenas. 🫤
Turning off @npr.org now as they are spending 10 minutes talking about Zelenskyy’s suit.
Just heard an @npr.org reporter describe gerrymandering as “being practiced by both parties since the 1700s.” Oh. So it’s OK, then? 🤔
Keep on doing, y’all…
You can still totally make money as a musician if you are interested in playing 80s or 90s covers…
All Tomorrow’s Papers, @nytimes.com?
Not a fan of Governor Newsom, but damn, that's some A+ trolling…
A favorite dorm memory: Lady who lived in the dorm came into the lounge and played a lot of ornate nonsense on the grand piano. “That was by Debussy,” she said, pausing, then: “W.C. Fields!” (I hope she found her niche in stand-up.)
Vernon Reid was born in London, England on this day in 1958. He turns 67 today. He performed with Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society from 1980-1986. He founded Living Colour in 1984. 📸 Jeff Caltabiano, Brooklyn, NY, 10.8.22
Not too mention she's getting a share of the money from Spotify that should be going to all those indie bands with <1,000 listeners a month… 🙄
Johnny Carson as Abe Lincoln: “I saw a black man in chains so I tore them off of him. It was Isaac Hayes and now I owe him $400 for his shirt.”
No lies detected. We are apparently selling off the equipment of the Voice of America currently… 🔥🔥🔥
“The Atlanta Way” 🙄
less than $1,000 left on this! who's gonna be a hero? let's fund this thing today y'all
WAS THAT SO HARD???? cc: @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com
Right now, most of America is afraid of not making it to November 2026 with democracy intact @democrats.org
Only male heads of household voting from here on out… 🙄
Like Ms. McKee, this is good…
Would definitely vote for Joanna Newsom for President (then we can figure out what to do about “The Andy Samberg problem”)
Aw, man… It should have at least been ”No. 36!” 😂 #cleaningwindows
Oooof, buddy.
Not much of a podcast guy, they all sound like serious versions of Wayne’s World (Song Exploder excepted), but this episode of The Ezra Klein Show called “Why Does My Mind Keep Thinking That? is a good one… audio.nrc.nl/episode/1392...
Good to know the Vance kids realize Dad’s a jackass…
The next stage of tribute band mania: Local bands covering cover bands. I give you: The Sandy Springs Australian Pink Floyd!
Best album of 1982! 😀
Favorite place to go to the beach…
Lots of great guitar insights along with the stories of His Bobness in this one… (Nels’ solo on “Impossible Germany” is one of my favorite Television influenced guitar parts, @memorialdevice.bsky.social)
Sunday @nytimes.com Arts section. Big-Ass Poster on the cover where three stories used to go? Check. Start off the section with two listicles? Check. 2,000-word Paleontology story under the heading of Culture? WTF? I need more Arts coverage, NYT.
💯
“Don't Bread on Me” was right there… 🤣
Great band names from Atlanta highway landmarks: “The Betty Jo Williams Interchange” and “The Capt. Herb Emory Flyover” 😂
Just discovered him recently myself… and he is still at it!
That guy is a Crook Monsieur… 😀

The Skylarks are playing a free acoustic set this evening in Kirkwood-ish. And, hey, if you want to find out what a great nabe Kirkwood is, check out @austinlouisray.bsky.social’s latest edition of “How I’d Fix Atlanta”!
Nothing like turning on @npr.org in the morning and hearing the latest headlines from Dystopia…
This is not a drill…
Beautiful ballad from Great American Charles Lloyd who “keeps on doing” at 87. Love the cover art, too… youtu.be/jexF71aVU1A?...
“What are you, Reader, but a loose fish, and a fast fish, too.” Moby Dick, Ch 89
This is a good intro explainer into the breadth of this amazing American musician. If he comes to your town, GO…
On this day in 1958, Art Kane photographed 57 musicians at 17 East 126th Street in NYC for Esquire magazine. It was a Great Day in Harlem, 67 years ago today. Sonny Rollins is the only musician from this photo still living. #SonnyRollinsBridge
The internet is for book recommendations…
Great article on black music back in the day in ATL, with quotes from Great Atlantan by way of Memphis William Bell. It is always music that brings together the people of all colors in Atlanta… www.atlantamagazine.com/news-culture...
Love that movie! Kind of like a saner version of “Last Year at Marienbad.”
