@_motherslug Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, Flow My Tears The Policeman Said, Ubik are three psychedelic sci fi faves. Scanner Darkly is a great drug novel. Valis is pretty amazing, but more challenging.

@PaulMargree His catalog is pretty vast and it’s easy to miss things if you blink. I also highly recommend the album of Merle Haggard covers he did for Drag City. Will is a great interpreter of songs.

@PaulMargree This live record might be my favorite. Crackerjack band playing behind him, great arrangements . https://t.co/I6i6d5z2rX

@scharpling Fugazi’s Steady Diet of Nothing came out that day as well. That would make marriage vows a little tougher.

Listen, I have never before tweeted anything to “go viral.” I could not care less.

Please pass this one on:

My dad was a genius. He died in 2019. Today I am thinking about one of his simple, brilliant messages.

Race is fiction

If you think that’s refutable, get well.

@AlecBaldwin No homogeneity of tone.

@mrjasongore You have Richman and Dio both representing New Hampshire. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts demands the restoration of Jonathan Richman as it’s Bruce Springsteen.

@cbouzy You gave us all hope, and it was fun watching you out predict the lazy experts.

@scharpling You gotta talk to Romano about his reimagining of Dylan's Infidels as if it had been recorded with The Plugz, who Dylan played with on David Letterman. The version of Jokerman is so true to the Letterman clip that it includes the harmonica miss start. https://t.co/n6hG1TLKAM

Cost to run US health care system:

$1,055/person

Cost to run Canada’s single-payer system:

$196/person

The next time you’re told that we can’t afford Medicare for All, remember that our for-profit system costs over 5x more to run than Canada’s single-payer system.
