Had to do it (it’s got a sound track on Instagram)

#MC5 mogging all you #MinorThreat maxxers, in Ann Arbor today

There are a hundred years of jokes about walking in LA

I have some time to kill in Ann Arbor this weekend, before another event I’m doing with Bernie on Monday. Anybody have recs for things to do, vegan food, movies, punk shows, etc.? It’s been a while since I’ve been through!

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

So many choices. “A young man.” OR “A longtime Republican operative” “A former aide to Republican Senator Josh Hawley” “A young man with deep ties to Republican candidates” But, “a young man.” We see you @wsj.com.

i read this essay for Words & Guitar, it’s about cock sparrer’s Working and hearing @tedleo.bsky.social’s rendition of it was such a delight! thanks again to all who came out

FOLKS, I’m going to Florida for Angie Nixon. Saturday in Tampa, Sunday in Gainesville (with the GREAT Dikembe). Turn out, Florida! You need you, the world kind of needs you on this one. Sorry, but it’s true. ❤️

Sending this one out to @raxkingisdead.bsky.social to help with her adrenaline-let-down convalescence after the amazing show she and @nikostratis.com put on the other night.

Nope. You're the one who's wrong.

Just heard what’s thought to be the oldest “recorded” love song in “English” (Middle), “Bryd one Brere,” c. late 1200s, and it sounds EXACTLY like Briget St. John and/or Nick Drake. Mind bending. (also, beautiful).

Nothing could’ve prepared me for her final statement

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Last full show of 2026, tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 9, @ the Off Cabot in Beverly, Ma. (SOLO)! I have a few fun guest spots on other shows coming up, but this is the last full set of my own on the books. It’s a small but lovely room, and some tix still available. Come join! Tickets at tedleo.com/tour

I guess this is what happens when AIPAC-AI writes your talking points without any human in the chain to check for basic humanity. David Valadao (R-CA-22) literally says that military aid to Israel helps the US because the money goes to the production and TESTING of American weapons systems.

Very excited to return to Littlefield for this cooooool event on 10/13!

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.
