Could someone buy a box of these for DJT? Might help speed things along.
My old shirt depicting the National Mall is faded, which seems fitting on this 250th anniversary of an experiment that it turns out a lawless minority never believed in. They've defiled much of what’s on this map. Our history is fading. But it’s still here, for now. Maybe we can still save it. #USA
Here’s a little Leucadian cinematography for “American Cinematography” with Cindy Lee Berryhill plus Willie Aron on keyboards and John Kruth on sitar. #sandiegomusic
Hey look, the #SanDiegoReader is back in print! Once a month for now, as an insert into #TimesOfSanDiego-owned community papers. My interview with @stevepoltz.bsky.social is the cover story of the first revived issue. Poltz will get a Lifetime Achievement Award at Wednesday's #SanDiegoMusicAwards.
“On a bed where we both lie, Late for the sky…” Inland North County San Diego.
DJT's next executive order will be to change the value of Pi.
Any #JamesMcMurtry fans on Bluesky? Live at the Continental Gallery in Austin tonight.
The Monday Night Supper Club returns in Austin, on Wednesday as it happens, at Quack’s on Menchaca (the old Strange Brew space). L-R: Ben Jones and Barbara Nesbitt and Christine Albert.
Just want to formally add my voice of agreement with what @rbreich.bsky.social wrote today:
Here’s James Mastro at the Casbah in San Diego, opening for Marshall Crenshaw.
Great band at the Belly Up in San Diego County last night: The Third Mind, with guitarist Dave Alvin and singer Jesse Sykes. Here’s their take on Pharoah Sanders:
At Camera Exposure / Safelight Labs in #SanDiego, musician/photojournalist Tamir Kalifa is sharing songs, photos and stories of his work via his new project Witness.
Lately I’ve come to think of him as the King of Austin. Has any ATX songwriter accomplished as much as he has in the last 35 years? James McMurtry at the Continental Gallery. (Yeah I know, but Willie lives in Spicewood)
Let this be a lesson to all antagonistic DJT cosplayers: If you act like a motherfucker all the time, you will be paid back with interest.
What decent people with resources need to do: Make posters of this and place them as close to every voting booth as possible next November. Project it onto the side of buildings across America. Buy ads on every single network with nothing but this image for 30 seconds. It needs to be EVERYWHERE.
DJT tries to shrug this off with, "Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care." But it has nothing to do with political correctness. What his statement proves is that he is MORALLY BANKRUPT. And so are ALL the people who don't call him on it. people.com/donald-trump...
All quiet on the western front. Dusk in North County #SanDiego, 11-24-25.
Vista native #SeanWatkins of #NickelCreek, with harmonies from his wife Dominique Arciero, is back in San Diego County tonight for a show at #FoxPointFarms in Carlsbad, teaming with local duo #LonesomeRoses.
