Did you notice that there was not a @DoonesburyComic in your Sunday Paper (basically any @Gannett paper, including the @DMRegister) here it is! See the thread for all six panels! (1)
The Big Three โcould double our wages, not raise the price of vehicles, and still make billions in profits.โ โ UAW President Shawn Fain on @CNBC this morning
Life in this hell hole is about finding small escapes from capitalism. Brief respites from the constant grind. Enjoying the very fact that you just....exist. I hope you all find a small escape today ๐
San Francisco, night 3/3. This music has made me a better player, and this band made me a better person. I was given the opportunity of a lifetime - to have access to the greatest songbook in modern music, and the deepest well of life memories shared by hundreds of thousands of Deadheads who extended their grace and acceptance to me. I learned to compromise, and to take other peopleโs chances along with them. I learned to play in real time, to express myself without the distraction of ambition or expectation. I learned to listen, to have musical conversation, and most importantly, to be a part of something much bigger than myself. It was never about me. It was bout โitโ - that spirit that a band and a crowd could go looking for together. If Iโve done my job right, Iโll disappear into that beautiful tapestry, the one that began almost 60 years ago and will continue to expand for lifetimes to come. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for embracing me and my place in this band, and to Bob, Mickey, and Billy - Iโll never be able to fully express my gratitude for your taking a chance on me. Something magical happened on this tour, and I donโt think any of us saw it coming. @deadandcompany is still a band - we just donโt know what the next show will be. I speak for us all when I say that I look forward to being shown the next shaft of lightโฆ I know we will all move towards it together. This band changed my life, and I love you all for it. An incredible tour, an unforgettable ride, and a beautiful world of memories to visit. Iโll be seeing youโฆ. โก๏ธโฅ๏ธโก๏ธ โจโจ๐ธ: @jayblakesberg and Joshua Hitchens
โThere is a cult of ignorance... The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.โ -Isaac Asimov
