It wouldn't be a proper Robert Earl Keen concert without "The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends."
Most of my favorite folk/country musicians have either passed on or stopped touring in their old age. I might not have another chance to see Robert Earl Keen, and The Dakota is such an intimate concert setting.
I've been tracking this, but haven't had time to post. It's that time of the baseball season when I follow my own personal obsessive/compulsive disorder statistic. Who is the last player with a mathematical possibility of breaking Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 games in a row with a hit.

I wasn't listening to the game like I usually do, but when I played this clip, my dog came running. She knows that when John Rooney and Ricky Horton call a "redbird winner!" it's time to celebrate.

Jazzy watching over the front porch in exactly the same spot as her sister did. Then, as is common for this dog, she falls asleep in an adorable but quite awkward pose. This time with a paw extended towards Rayne's prints.
Rayne's favorite place in the whole wide world was the front porch, both in Minneapolis and Superior. So I knew once her ashes came back that I would trace her paw prints and mix paint and her ashes. This way Rayne will always be watching over the porch for me.
One way to get crazy people to swear at you on this site is to engage with housing policy folks by saying "sure, luxury housing expands the supply and eventually helps different market segments, but maybe it helps lower-income folks if we START with more affordable housing."

NEW: Mayor Mamdani announces that he has looked at all options and has determined he does NOT have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant if he comes to New York, but the feds do, and he encourages them to do so. He adds that Netanyahu is NOT WELCOME in New York City.

Niko Bowie@nikobowie.bsky.social · 2w agoThis state supreme court opinion pulls no punches: “This court does not anchor Hawaiʻi’s due process rights to the federal floor. Especially one that keeps sinking. . . . State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence ‘white noise.’”

All of this. I was once farther towards the moderate wing of the party. The emerging left wing deserves to be with us, and if enough people consider them the prevailing majority, they get to set the policy agenda. But we are all Democrats.
Amanda Litman@amandalitman.bsky.social · 3w agoReally really enjoyed this interview with Mamdani - as always, a masterclass in communication. His answer on creating a big tent party is both excellent and low key savage. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/m...

With the wildfire air quality in WI, one upshot is all my cheese tastes like smoked cheese.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I stopped watching NFL games because it seemed like the results were decided more by the arbitrary calls or non-calls by the refs and not by the athleticism on the field. Trying to justify watching #FIFA under the same problem.
