1/3: We were introduced by mutual friends at a gig of the band I was in, and they were intriguing, a social studies teacher from Maine, cute, in a leather jacket. After hanging out again at another gig, they told me they had a ticket to Sweet Honey in the Rock, and would I like to go with them?...

Diptych of Kit and Nate: two close-ups of the couple from shoulders up. The top part is from their wedding day on July 24th, 1999, and the bottom part is from their 24th anniversary. (And only people (and, I guess, bots :-( ) who read image alt text get that extra info.)

My latest! 👇 There's no way I could get to them all, but here's a rundown of local races in 6 Kentucky counties where backlash to data center projects (and big tax breaks for those companies) could play a huge role. That includes #kyga26...

Proposed hyperscale data centers across Kentucky have sparked local opposition. Some candidates are now trying to harness voter frustration with the AI facilities this election. #kyga26

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

(1/2) #KY06 #LexingtonKY It's been an awesome weekend to canvass for @progressky and Zach Dembo for Congress here in Lexington! Support for Zach in my neighborhoods has been high, and at least one time I had a resident grateful to learn that we can vote early this week (Thursday through Saturday).

Two-panel photographs of Nate in a suburban-looking Lexington, KY, neighborhood on a sunny afternoon.  Nate's wearing a Progress Kentucky hat and T-shirt, and he's brandishing a clipboard with Zach Dembo literature. Nate looks very happy.

The Boogeyman {2023} Works best when the monster is a metaphor for agonizing grief, less so when it’s dumbed down into a plain ol’, y’know, monster. But Thatcher’s an awesome shero, and 10YO Blair really sells the scares. (7/10 stars) www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_boogey...

Castle Rock (Season 1) {2018} A sort-of love letter to diehard 😊 Stephen King fans; a potent occult/outré horror story for all genre lovers. Everything hinges on the strength of the actors; (un)happily, they make it all riveting. (8/10 stars) www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/castle_ro...

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

"Evil Dead Burn" {2026} They left all the comedy behind (what gave the original versions their transgressive appeal), but couldn’t even gin up an interesting story or sympathetic characters. What a waste of everyone’s time. 4/10 stars www.rottentomatoes.com/m/evil_dead_...

ENDORSEMENT ALERT: Kentucky deserves someone who'll fight for US, not for Trump's chaos and corruption. Charles knows we need action on healthcare, an end to these ridiculous wars (Iran & Canada) to bring down prices and support our farmers and our bourbon industry.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
