March 10 | A song that feels like a memory replaying
At Seventeen - Janis Ian
The memory of social isolation & exclusion, of feeling like an outsider, is universal. It fades with time, but is still raw in this song...😔

Mojtaba Khamenei ascends to the role of supreme leader.
can you believe humans were literally gifted a planet overflowing with trees. fruit, water, medicine, and sunshine and then invented debt capitalism, and war..
Au contraire,
"Everybody knows
the war is over
Everybody knows
the good guys lost.
Everybody knows
the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls
with their fingers crossed."
Leonard Cohen

March 9 | A song about insecurity
Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows
The insecurity of living in a world in which ...
🎶...the dice are loaded...
...the fight was fixed...
...the poor stay poor, the rich get rich...🎶

Mojtaba Khamenei is Irans new Supreme Leader. Not only did the US kill his father in the March 1st strikes, his wife and mother also died.
Just something to think about.
People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.
Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

March 8 | A song that feels ahead of its time
Pink Floyd - Us and Them
The music has a timeless quality about it, and the lyrics - written 50+ years ago - could have been written today.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

March 7 | A song you would play for your younger self
The Specials - A Message to You, Rudy
🎶...stop your messing around...🎶 😉

“Kristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that. You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americans’ constitutional rights, and use government funding like it’s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trump’s spotlight."
Advance conference 2026: some terrifying agenda setting alongside the strategy sessions.

Cheers to Dave for that title 🤣
I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

March 6 | A song you recognise after two bars
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.
A federal appeals court has for now shielded billionaire Elon Musk from being questioned under oath about his role last year in shuttering the US Agency for International Development

Governor Newsom's recent comments about Israel were confusing and problematic at a critical moment, as the United States, Israel, and their regional partners confront significant threats from the Iranian regime. If the Governor intended to express concern about proposals to annex parts of the West Bank, that debate requires precision. Invoking the term "apartheid" is wrong and inflammatory, does not reflect the complex realities on the ground, and only risks inflaming tensions.
The future of the Democratic Party will be centrist Democrats saying factually true things (and in fact understating them) and the collective pro Israel lobby freaking the fuck out
POLITICO confirms previous post:
Gavin Newsom likened Israel on Tuesday to an “apartheid state” and said its leadership has left the United States no choice but to reconsider military support for its ally in the Middle East.
President Trump once called solar panels “the scam of the century.”
But as the U.S. experiences a larger increase in electricity demand to power AI, Trump supporters like Katie Miller, Newt Gingrich and Kellyanne Conway are backing the solar industry.

March 5 | A song in 7/8 time
Don Ellis Orchestra - Beat Me Daddy, 7 To The Bar
"We'd like to go out ... with something kind of happy. This is a sort of a boogie-woogie, only with a difference because we do it in 7/8."

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
These are sick, weird, twisted people. All of them.

March 4 | A song in 5/4 time signature
Syd Barrett: Matilda Mother
The 5/4 count isn't the main rhythm of the song, it's the 'disruptive genius Syd' moments during the organ breaks and the lead-ins to the chorus.

True
"... we have gone to war in Lybia, Sudan, Somalia, occupied Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, & Iran, for this extremist, delusional purpose.
"... North Africa [and] the Middle East in chaos because of this insane Zionism and the US complicity in it."
