Guess I've been binge listening to Steely Dan/Donald Fagen today. Its different.
By the way, when I watched the animated movie "Soul" the "terry" character reminded me of animation I'd seen in a music video somewhere. I just discovered it was the music vid for Donald Fagen's "New Frontier."
Doing this has reminded me that vibing to music while going for a cruise and/or drawing used to be my self care. They may have been a few herbal enhancements thrown in I dunno. Then, life took me away from all my favorite shit and its taken me decades to get back.
I almost made it through until the song "Out of the Ghetto" reminded me: all of your faves are problematic.

Ryan Grim's pissy tweet referencing Obama was a follow-up to his own tweet of a clip of him describing how incompetent the Sanders campaign was.
Too bad they didn't succeed, they could've spared Bernie the humiliation of The Biden Beatdown™.
I'm thinking that rural Maryland area Grim hails from is REALLY rural.
I had to do some finagling to listen to Grim - who replaced Krystal Ball as one of the co-hosts of "Rising" - and the story he tells in the clip sounds really anti-union and anti-organizing. Not only that, Grim can't stop flubbing his lines.
Back in high school our rookie HC thought he'd could just throw us right into the fire vs powerhouse St. Rita. The instant we walked off the bus we were shell shocked by the stadium.
It looked like a prison yard.
We got destroyed 31-0.
But then, I discovered something.
Before the game, the white players made the mistake of reading a local sport writer's predictions. He hadn't just predicted we'd lose, he took joy in making fun of our chances. They were very good, after all.
But after the game, the white players kept saying "How did he know?"
We would've probably lost anyway, but that's when I knew we never had a chance, because they just gave in to the prediction at the first sign of trouble. Then, the next week it was "St. Francis De Sales, another Chicago powerhouse. Like I said, the rookie HC's idea of genius."
Sure, Joe Biden has fully vaxxed half of America and has COVID cases on the decline, but when is he gonna get around to fixing the series finale of "Game of Thrones?"
Why hasn't Biden done more to improve Shaq's free throw percentage
What's Biden's plan to address the phenomenon where my little cousin tries to bum five dollars off me and then ghost me as soon as he gets paid
Coming up on 24 hours since I've taken the second Moderna shot and so far the only discomfort I've felt is a soreness in my shoulder where they administered the shot.
Well, a bit of an update: I just went to the grocery store and noticed I'm feeling a bit sluggish and lethargic.
