My Brain Broke

And it's beyond repair by the deadline.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.

Yours Truly.

Opening Day at the Hollywood Bowl is 22 days from today. Reba is our opener and the last two weeks I’m in deep. Sadly, throw in the real estate and, oh, I don’t know, sleep! and here comes Friday and I’m outta time.

Thank God for Substack. Here is where I slouch off and toss out a bunch of recommendations to keep you all going a whole week without me. I should be careful, that’s backfired more than once on me.

I love this guy - he calls his readers Clowns, and says Fuck a lot. A whole lot. And he’s not afraid to eat things like a bull penis churro or sheep brain in a bucket. Those are worthy culinary tasks we all need someone else to do.

Food is Stupid

My name is Dennis Lee, aka Dannis Ree, and I'm a Chicago-based food writer whose main goal is to ruin food for everyone. Especially you.
By Dennis Lee

This Substack takes a sideways and off angle look at history. Like the history of cool shit one wonders about while sitting on the toilet. It’s actually good to read while sitting on the toilet.

The Deleted Scenes

Urbanism, culture, idiosyncrasy
By Addison Del Mastro

If you think about things that you’ve forgotten and love the moment when your brain somehow picks a rando out of the weeds, Kevin will bring you many such moments. I didn’t know I used to know so much shit. Who knew?

On Repeat by Kevin Alexander

New music, old favorites, record reviews, interviews, and more.

These are the serious ones. There are actual insane people that actually think Matt Taibbi is a right-wing goon. Get the fuck out. Matt spent 30 years as a real journo, most of it at Rolling Stone. Yeah - that vast right-wing rag RS. Shut the hell up! Can you imagine a Congressional moron ridiculing Woodward & Bernstein? Much less demanding their sources.

Racket News

Regular news and features by award-winning author and investigative reporter.
By Matt Taibbi

This guy too. Because he loves truth and freedom, he’s now a MAGA shill. We are going straight to plan - Orwell’s 1984 plan.

Glenn Greenwald

Independent, unencumbered analysis and investigative reporting, captive to no dogma or faction.

Finally, when you do go crazy, check out Valentina. She will let you know why you think you feel this way.

Life Intelligence

Live more. Love More. Do More. Matter.
By Valentina Petrova

Thanks for all the time you spend with me, and for the important way you make me feel.

Ric

Thank you for the recommendations. I've never (at least hardly ever) gone wrong with following you.

Thanks for including me on this list! I appreciate it.

Pulling those random songs outta my head, and gettin 'em back into yours? That's why I'm here. :)
