Sweet baby Jesus in a manger. Just as the neighbors started lighting off their crazy fireworks that send everyone's pets into a frenzy, it started raining.

One of the things I love about Spoutible is that the logo is a whale, one of the animal names I was called as a fat kid. I still carry a good bit of “blubber”, but proudly.

Big love & mad respect to a beloved ancestor who was born today in 1925 -- Happy heavenly birthday to Medgar Evers 💐🌻He was one of the tallest trees in the Black Freedom movement. May we all have his courage & undaunted determination to stand up for racial justice & human rights. Rest well, Baba❤

We made it out of Florida, thanks to all of YOU.
And just in time, too, because that slate of oppressive laws passed earlier this year went into effect yesterday.

I signed up for $5 per month to BotSentinel back when Spoutible was new. And I’ll probably increase that after the IOS app comes out. This place, blissfully free of bots and jerks, is a sound investment.

I'm not sure conservatives, who constantly bemoan cancel culture, are going to like the after effects of the Supreme Court's Colorado website case. Most broadly celebrated creative expression in this country comes from liberals not conservatives.

If you’re someone who enjoys unpredictability you might like this oddball radio station. I was its General Manager from 1978 to 2008. Nowadays I do a monthly program on the 4th Wednesdays. Streaming at wpkn.org - archives for two weeks - and there’s a handy app, too.

if I were a cheap criminal up to my neck in Russian mob money, fraudulent loans, under-the-table deals, phony charities and a tax cheat to boot, the last thing I would do is confess on tape to stealing war plans, but then I'm not an attention-hungry fluorescent tangerine imbecile
