I think our country sinks beneath the yoke:
It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds.

The late show of this was my first @robynhitchcock.bsky.social concert. My brother and I drove from Santa Barbara to Santa Monica for the show. McCabe's 1987-07-18
Today is Robyn's birthday, and I hope he knows that he is loved and appreciated 🎂

😲 That's more than a lil much, that is borderline criminal
It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
what if we’re supposed to be sacrificing billionaires to the volcanoes to obtain world peace and relieve famine
whaddya say gang
I, for one, welcome our future corvid overlords ....
Or should that be #CROWverlords ? 🤔

As always, I am grateful for any excuse to get Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet stick in my head 🤘

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.
This is horrifying abuse, and El Muskrat needs to get absolutely fucked for pulling shit like this

Or this one from the late, great Todd Snider (which isn't really about trains, but about the sort of guy who loves train songs, but it's just too good not to mention 🙂)

A great mix 👍🚂
Might I suggest this one?

The title track to one of my absolute favorite albums of all time, from the legend that is @robynhitchcock.bsky.social
the image is a screen cap of an elon musk tweet that reads: "For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone"! American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here."
Accuse me of xenophobic stereotyping all you like, but the last person I'm going to listen to about the real America is a dope-addicted unmarried immigrant who can't even count how many kids he has from God knows how many women.

Chris Milazzo Master 001
My first Springsteen show, and it was a damn fine one, as I think you'll agree from hearing Chris's recording
Chris Milazzo taped this one. When he started to digitize and share his recordings online, this was was CMM-001 because he knew that I was waiting for a copy. Goddamn I miss him. So thankful that his recordings continue to circulate 💜
I’d love to see journalism exploring the mass deletion of SWs off X in conjunction with the rise of grok’s porn bots. There’s a certain tech bro fantasy of AI as a tool of economic deprivation against SWs. The deep resentment at the financial independence of online SW seems to have come to a head.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy them 💜
Just for the record, I should NOT be allowed to dip my toes into such threads, because I can easily become a tedious bore as I babble about some of my favorite oddball documentaries.
I just saw that they also have this fascinating doc on magician Ricky Jay, one of my favorite performers

Also, Kanopy is available free through a number of libraries, & they have a great selection of some classics like Eroll Morris' game changing (and life saving) THIN BLUE LINE, the classic punk documentary DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, and the remarkable MAN ON WIRE, about the Twin Towers skywalk
Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist (1997)
Flanagan was an artist in several fields, and a cystic fibrosis sufferer, as well as a long-term slave in a BDSM relationship
It's apparently available to stream on a number of platforms

The idea of basic decency and kindness is just so triggering to folks whose entire philosophy is dedicated to selfishness
