RIP Phil Lesh, the cerebral, avant-garde, post-Beat genius who took the Dead's sound far beyond psych-blues and folk into weird empyrean realms of free jazz & classical. He could play the bass like a heartbeat or a tidal wave, searching for new but timeless sounds eternally.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Phil Lesh, the Grateful Dead's co-founder and bassist, has died at age 84.

"Phil brought immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a legacy of music and love."

Having Medicare cover in-home care for the elderly is the single most substantive (and, I think, materially beneficial) policy proposal either candidate has offered in this race, and as far as I can tell, it's gotten almost no attention from the press, or on social media.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

For all of you who think the college would be better off without me as ass dean, remember I don’t leave a place without burning it to the ground.

I’m sad to report the passing yesterday of my wife @kateshuster after a brave struggle with pancreatic cancer. Kate was a hero of mine, as well as a partner and my favorite person on Earth. Her loss and legacy are both immeasurable.

I’ve shown the short and long version of this 1960 JFK ad dozens of times in classes for decades. RFK Jr.’s SuperBowl version is a sacrilege.

If you thought this was crazy! We have heard of reports of trees cracking & splitting. Likely due to water (sap) inside that has frozen resulting in trees splitting & cracking. #MEwx #Maine

We are getting Reports of hearing/feeling "Quakes" across the area. These are Frostquakes also called Cryoseisms. Just like Earthquakes, generate tremors, thundering sensations. These are caused by sudden cracks in frozen soil or underground water when its very cold. #MEwx #Maine
