LD almost never performed Magnetic Fields songs with other bands. A rare exception for my daughter Josie and friend JD (who eventually joins us!). This is a favorite live moment. Charlotte, me, LD, Michael, etc. The One You Really Love youtu.be/7IDpuc5XFZE via @YouTube

.@ElonMusk exposed by firefighters for his own lies.
I didn’t realize my short story Dick in the Dirt had already published. Many thanks to @pulplitmag!
Weirdly, my title is wrong. It’s correct in the table of contents but wrong with the story. Oh well, Dick in the Dark is nice too. Enjoy! issuu.com/pulplitmag/docs/pu…
I’ll continue to check in on Twitter because I write about the kinds of things happening here but will be communicating primarily at the newer, bluer place. My handle there is thepeskyfly instead of peskyfly.
But I wanted to say t to @anushkabidani’s @headcanonmag
I always thought my story Cornfield County was just for me and a handful of friends who grew up watching Hee Haw on Sundays and thought it was the most surreal thing on TV besides Green Acres. So glad somebody else saw something in it and shared it with the world.
Have you ever wondered what it might be like if David Lynch directed an episode of Hee Haw? My short story “Cornfield County” is now available to read at HeadCanon, a literary magazine devoted to all things pop culture. #writersky headcanonmagazine.com/2024/1…

String Bean was hard of hearing so the tiny blue transistor radio was turned up loud when Jon Hager, a long-haired singer and wannabe Country music superstar, stepped up onto the porch.

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

As @ReichlinMelnick points out — Trump is setting this up to take credit for a decrease in border crossings that has already been happening 👇🏽

Stats proved that they were lying but media played to that narrative anyway.
A month ago, nearly two-thirds of Republicans said that their economic situation was worse than a year ago. One Trump victory later, fewer than half do.

ICYMI: Tennessee gave out nearly $1 BILLION through the corporate tax handout. @GovBillLee touts “transparency”, but we can’t know who got what because of how the law is written — including his own @LeeCompany.
Yet they refuse to repeal the grocery tax.

Shouldn’t be the only doomed nomination.
Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general is seen as doomed by some Senate Republicans on.wsj.com/4ew91dy

A lot of people want to bring Obama-era insiders back for party building purposes.
While those folks ran successful presidential campaigns, they also oversaw some of the largest downballot losses in modern times.
Party building is different. Look to people w/ recent successes.
