Still true today

On this day in 2020: I can still picture exactly where I was when I learned about the plane crash that killed one of my political heroes. I volunteered for his campaign, such positive and hopeful energy... Wellstone would have been an amazing voice for these times.

Such a great show and band. The Chills, from NZ, are relatively unknown here… a pretty small crowd. Thankful I made the effort to get to Denver on a weeknight now that Martin Phillips has died.

On this day in 2022: Almost time for @TheChills at the Marquis Theater in Denver! Opening band was crazy talented

Yup, Minnesotans’ favorite state is Canada

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

It's hard to imagine JD having a political future...

JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"

I've been building photography bots on the AT protocol and it's been a joyful journey. Then thought I would like to duplicate on Instagram and it has been a painful experience so far

My bike miles have dropped since 2021. I’d say I’ve been slacking, but swimming and skiing have picked up the slack. Once every sport is converted into “equity miles,” my total effort has held steady for five years. 2026 is about to pass 2025, with plenty of bike and snow season still ahead.

Yup, well said

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

Listening to the Bats right now

On this day in 2018: Hearing Kim Deal sing 'Gigantic' tonight transported me back to 1988, headed to NZ with a cassette in my pack with the Pixies, about to meet some Kiwis with deep experience and knowledge of local music. We blew each other away with fun musical discoveries... @thebreeders

This was an amazing day. Woke up in rainy Christchurch and started our adventure towards Dunedin. Got lots of beach time on the way. The storm delivered a lot of snow in the hills making the mountain views exciting
