Get Your Dunkin Friday

Image
  This past week has been one of the hardest of my life. So I thought vibes were important. I never really appreciated fully Mac Miller until this Tiny Desk. You can see the artistry and what he was growing to be before his life was cut too short. This Friday as LA burns, Trump gets closer to the presidency, and the right-wing of America takes reigns, I take solace that they can't take our music. Our artistry, our creativity. No matter how hard they try.  Here are your highlights:  Trump to be sentenced U of I wildlife director gives advice about protecting animals from bird flu Pizzagate Gunman killed  - the fact he was out, not in a mental health facility, and had access to a gun...oh boy Genocide continues in Gaza and no one seems to care anymore . Kushner Beach Front Properties coming soon.  Honda releases new electric vehicle models . And I don't want to get on a high horse here, but if just one car company invested in HIGH SPEED RAIL they'd change everyth...

   I've checked in on all my friends and they are okay for now. I lived in Santa Monica for three years, if I still lived there I'd have to evacuate. I can hardly fathom how quickly this fire wiped out entire neighborhoods, small businesses, and livelihoods. I experienced several fires while living in the Bay. The speed of this fire is nothing that I experienced. If you can donate, here are some places to do so .  Here are your highlights: Blinked says RSF has committed genocide Merrick Garland cowardly cowardly coward RIP Jimmy Carter Idaho is going after same-sex marriage - they won't stop there. These are the worst kind of people. Let people love who they love. Weirdos.  US Surgeon General goes after alcohol . As someone in the industry, I'm interested in how folks respond. This seems to be an almost Prohibition-era decree. Like cigarettes and vaping people have freedom to do what they want. To me, this is more of a cultural issue. Americans are the only folks wh...

Get Your Dunkin Wednesday

(two rich stooges clutching their pearls at a UFC fight) I'm starting this year with an inability to focus on anything but Skeleton Crew on Disney+. It's a charming show that reminds me of Goonies and Firefly, an awesome mashup of Star Wars. I don't know why Jude Law is so good in everything. I hate him for it.  The media has learned nothing from Trump's last go around. They report every word, every senile decree like it's the truth or will happen. No, we're not taking Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico . That's some Freedom Fries shit from back in the Bush years. Focus on what's happening in the background that will certainly be worse when Bannon and Miller are back in charge.  Here are your highlights:  Wildfires in the Palisades and Santa Monica - I used to right around here and worked off Wilshire near Bristol Farms. This is terrifying if you know the area well.  Finally! Medical debt removed from your credit report. Love this. Marshall makes...

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

 Holy moly. We're here. One day past the fourth anniversary of Jan. 6th. A day that should live in infamy but seems to have fizzled and been neutered by an incompetent press. I don't expect much more of a fight from Dems on this. Their message is that we've jailed many insurrectionists. Move on.  Donny seems to have other plans. I'm not looking forward to seeing the blob address the nation again. He's inheriting a ton of good from Biden, so he'll most likely try to wreck it all. Fun times!  Here are your highlights: Dry January - Best NA beer Biden sets conservation record The Militia and the Mole - a wild story of one man's infiltration into right-wing militias COVID is now like the flu...for now.  Fck Peter Baker I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

Get Your Dunkin Friday

 I'm off for the next two weeks. It's something I've never experienced before. I'm thankful to work in philanthropy, which has such great benefits. The world will be in full chaos for the next four years. President Musk and VP Trump are determined to ungovern the nation. Silver linings - I've lost 25 lbs, I'm a grateful father of two amazing girls, and my health has been poor, but I'm getting better. Music still exists. Art still exists. Life still exists. We will beat back fascism.  Here are your highlights: Louisiana has lost its damn mind and is stopping the promotion of life-saving vaccines Battle of the Assholes Air travel is up and the gubbament is about to make things worse George Mason student planned a mass attack on Israeli consulate Starbucks baristas go on strike - good for them. The CEO's signing bonus was $10 mil Orange Cats I'm pouring wines this weekend at a historic Mansion. Here's a fun fact about me: I'm an international ...

Get Your Dunkin Thursday

I'm back. It's been too long, but the current moment has me back into the blogosphere. Fascism is on our doorstep and a billionaire hopped up on ketamine is running the country. I'm here to fight. I'm a father of two wonderful girls and I'll be damned if I'm going to have them grow up under a Trump/Musk empire. I was away due to personal reasons. None of which I will get into, but my distance from blogging was necessary. So, let's get into it, shall we! Here are your highlights: Josh Marshall on Trump's Trump Bird Flu - I have no confidence incoming HHS Robert Kennedy Jr. will handle this well.  Corruption is about to get worse UnitedHealth sucks - no I don't condone murder, but as a company, they're friggin awful.  My Arbor Tree Hotel - take me there! The economy Trump is inheriting is not like last time. And with Musk wanting pain, consider hiding cash in your mattress. Billie Eilish Tiny Desk Concert I want to have optimism in this dark era...
