[1/3] @thedavidcrosby was born on this day 82 years ago. One of the most fun things I ever did was to sit down w/Croz for a week to talk about his amazing career from #Byrds to #CSNY and beyond. Hear those conversations on @OsirisMedia, with rare music: osirispod.com/podcasts/freak…
[2/3] @TheDavidCrosby's last band, featuring his son @jamjora, @ChrisStills and others, will finally play its long-delayed tribute next week at @LoberoTheatre. Shawn Colvin will open. It will be great and healing to hear Croz's music live again. [sold out] lobero.org/events/stand-a…
[3/3] Most of all today, I'll be missing my friend. @thedavidcrosby wrote the soundtrack to my inner life, and then became one of my best friends for 20 years. Thanks, buddy. I still keep expecting my phone to ring with, "I wrote a new one that'll blow your mind!"

[1/4] @JerryGarcia, one of the most agile, hard-working, and articulate musicians of his generation, died on this day in 1995. I grew up standing in front of him, seeing Jerry perform with @GratefulDead and the Garcia Band more than 300 times. Photo by me in 1980. Color photograph of Jerry Garcia playing acoustic guitar beside Phil Lesh, playing an electric bass, under red stage lights.
[2/4] For #Deadheads like me, @JerryGarcia's death was not just the loss of a man who had brought us much joy and adventure, it was the end of an era in our own lives. I tried to express those thoughts in an essay written shortly after his death: poetspath.com/Scholarship_Pr…
[3/4] I only spoke with @JerryGarcia at length once, but it was a hilarious and marvelous experience of feeling like we were conspiring against the unhip world, recalled in this recent @JamBase podcast: jambase.com/article/steve-…

[1/4] Augustus Owsley Stanley III, aka "Bear," was born OTD in 1935. Perhaps best known for making the LSD that fueled the Summer of Love (thus inspiring the Steely Dan song "Kid Charlemagne"), Bear was much more than that. [📸Amalie Rothschild] Image
[2/4] As sound man and mentor to @GratefulDead, Bear began the practice of taping the band every night so they could learn from their own performances. #Deadheads turned that into a global community. Bear's Sonic Journals also captured many other bands with astonishing clarity.
[3/4] Bear's innovative concepts for the @GratefulDead's sound system (based in his experiences of #synesthesia, and culminating in the awesome-sounding but impractical "Wall of Sound" in 1974) transformed modern concert sound for the whole rock-touring industry. [📸Kirk West] Image

[1/6] Large clinical trial shows that ivermectin *DOES NOT WORK* against #COVID19. So let's review.
[2/6] @FoxNews' Laura Ingraham was one of the first and most aggressive promoters of ivermectin, claiming "hundreds of thousands of people" died unnecessarily because it wasn't approved. She also claimed FDA was suppressing ivermectin in favor of vaccines. washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
[3/6] Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo claimed ivermectin is "incredibly effective" against #COVID19 and that Big Pharma is suppressing it. Meanwhile, @WSJ ran an op-ed touting ivermectin's ability to both "treat" and "prevent" #COVID19. wsj.com/articles/fda-i…

[1/4] Tips for folks who want to be good allies during #AutismAcceptanceMonth:
1. Most autistic people prefer to be called "autistic" rather than "people with autism."
2. Listen to autistic people.
3. Avoid demeaning/inaccurate terms like "high functioning" and "low functioning."
[2/4] 4. Read great books by #autistic authors like "We're Not Broken," "Diary of a Young Naturalist," "Ten Steps to Nanette," "Keep Clear," and "Sincerely, Your Autistic Child."
5. If you book autistic speakers for events, pay them what you'd pay non-autistic speakers.
[3/4] 6. Support autistic-led organizations like @autselfadvocacy and @awnnetwork_ rather than organizations like Autism Speaks.
7. Understand that the spectrum is not linear running from "mild" to "severe."
8. Maximize every person's chances to communicate with AAC.

[1/5] This must have been when Trump so dominated Putin in a meeting that the Russian leader was still shaking in his boots.
[2/5] No, wait sorry, THIS must been the time Putin was truly cowed by Trump's alpha-male fearlessness that I keep hearing about in right-wing media.
[3/5] OK OK maybe I messed those up, but surely this was the occasion when Putin learned that standing up to "America First!" Trump was hopeless and his expansion plans for Russia didn't have a prayer of success.

[1/7] Friends, we need to focus on absorbing these truths, because we're in grave trouble, and it's our trouble as a nation. A foreign dictator whose security forces routinely toss dissidents out windows is trying to start World War 3. Meanwhile...
[2/7] The twice-impeached unindicted criminal former President of the United States has declared Putin "savvy" and "a genius," and implied that America should be sending invading forces into Mexico. clayandbuck.com/president-trum…
[3/7] The host of the most popular cable disinformation show in America says the question we should be asking ourselves is, "Why do I hate Putin?"
