Most people don't actually know anything about data centers, what they think they do know is mostly wrong, & their position on the subject is the result of ambient vibes absorbed online. In this way, data centers are like *literally every other subject in politics*.

Whenever I finish a deep dive into a subject or a person I love, I always get sad because I have to leave them. But I also feel fortunate to have gotten to enter their world for a little while. And I am better for it. Full story on Substack — link in bio. #MusicianSky #MusicHistory #VinylCommunity

I dove deep into the life and career of Paul Pena, a blind singer-songwriter and guitarist originally from Cape Cod whose two albums are extraordinary documents of timeless originality—full of emotional honesty and musical honesty—but who is still largely unknown. His story is tragic and uplifting.

For my fellow music obsessives, one of the best writers I know (Paul Barbagallo, who tends to avoid social media like the plague) just launched a killer newsletter: The People’s Music. I implore you to give it a read and subscribe: open.substack.com/pub/thepeopl...

ok, this place has the juice

I finally listened to @synonymforwet.bsky.social talking with @kennyjacoby.bsky.social about how corporatization is harming youth sports m.youtube.com/watch?si=YLq.... It’s a conversation that could have been 45 minutes longer and still felt too short

Will the last person to leave Fetterman’s office please turn out the lights and also why in gods name are you still there?

No joke, it would be cheaper to pay every coal miner $5m every year to not mine coal. There are only 40,000 coal miners, while the coal industry produces >$500 billion in external costs every year, including by routinely burning coal just to burn it despite it costing more ("uneconomic dispatch").

AAAAAAGGGGH PITTSBURGH IS BEING ATTACKED BY A GIANT BEE! OH THE HUMANITY! SOMEONE SAVE THE DINOSAUR BONES AT THE CARNEGIE!

Less than 2 years into Trump dismantling the American Republic the Washington Post is bored and wants to look into the future so they navel gaze rather than actually cover anything that would upset their owner

Emily always gets it. There is no policy window unless we open the window.

Some of y’all are “calling balls and strikes” when you should be catching strikes to the balls.

As I get older, I get increasingly hostile about "where are the kids taking us" pearl-clutching. Are the kids the ones destroying our society right now? No, that's the Boomer President with the backing of a Boomer/Gen-X Congress and the majority of Boomer/Gen-X voters.

Little plug here: if you're a healthy adult between the ages of 18 and 35, why not consider joining a stem cell and bone marrow donor registry? If you do so and are matched with a patient in need, you can save the life of someone with blood cancer.

I know it won’t happen but I feel like one solution to this is for California to send 600 newly elected representatives to Congress in defiance of every possible law and court case and tell SCOTUS to eat their entire ass

One of the best to ever do it. And by it I mean fraud.

There’s a tired trope that states any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered with the word “no” but this is the obvious exception to that rule because the answer is “yes”

We don’t talk enough about good things that are happening. I’ll start with one Henry Kissinger is dead as a fuckin doornail

The Steelers are owned by MAGA chuds that are going to keep trading on the vibes from Dan Rooney being a Democrat for as long as they can.

I’m mad at every single one of you that has made me aware that David Frum had sex

Hey - so, real quick...you don't need to feed every troll that does the same tired, "June shouldn't be Pride Month, it should be [insert issue/religion/group they don't actually care about]!" Celebrate the good stuff, feed those flames, and starve the others of the oxygen they so crave. 🏳️‍🌈

I wonder how much of this is the executives being star struck and that overriding rational decision making

Sounds like someone at the AP Stylebook is a hard no on their partner's suggestion for spicing up their marriage

my main thought on Pride month, as someone who should basically be neither seen nor heard from on it, is that I have seen many times firsthand the raw deal that trans people get in media and publishing, and it needs to be everyone's job to fix that. It's real, material, and unacceptable

I dunno that’s how I’ve been showing my support for Tottenham this season…

CBS meetings now

It's now been 250 days since a federal judge dismissed my felony charges. On October 27, the DOJ filed notice of appeal with the 11th Cir. It is now June, and the DOJ has yet to file its appeal brief. 250 days. I'm filing a lawsuit to force them to move forward. You can help me fund it here. thx

Theres also an irony the press is missing that Hegseth is all about "Department of War" and "This is War" and "Warfighters" yet they keep having to call strikes "Defensive" because they don't want to say the word War.

It’s June 1 which means it’s time to bust out my best tweet.

Hey Pittsburgh folks, a local mom of a 1 year old is in a precarious situation and needs a job ASAP. She's hoping for something like office/receptionist but she also has a background in teaching dance to kids. If anyone has any leads on anything, can you drop me a DM?

I’m going to use my immense powers of prognostication and day “no”

time for a nightcap* *wild berry flavored tums extra strength

Decided to watch Send Help after @briancgrubb.bsky.social recommended it in his newsletter (which you should read) and it was WAAAAY more bonkers than I had anticipated. Rachel McAdams is underrated and also I am going to be extremely wary of calamari for a while

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

democrats deeply want people to care about process when they care about outcomes. promising democracy isn’t even promising rights. it’s promising a process to possibly get them. democrats need an actual agenda, but they can’t agree on one because it’s a loose coalition of dissenters, not a party.

Sir, Martina dropped ou- Oh, the Commodores have- Morris Day is now gone- Uh, Bret Michaels can't make- Milli Vanilli isn't-

I just got a phishing email that almost got me. Stay sharp out there folks.

When the Steelers-Bengals rivalry was at its peak.

He’s doing this despite the accompanying high class luncheon, where food would be served thus affording him an opportunity to be stone cold munchin’.

Ok I want the context on this one

i'm not saying markwayne mullin should cancel international flight processing at woke airports (what a concept) but it's fun to imagine what the greatest logistical fuckup in american history would look like

Hi, yes, 20-75 follow up questions here. To start: how many gold bars are there at the CIA generally

If you blow an entire 1:44 5 on 3 without a shot you should have to put someone from the PP unit in the penalty box

If nothing else I hope that the Dems take away from this interview that Lindsey Graham is not their friend no matter what he says behind closed doors. This is who he is and who he has always been. This is who Biden thought of when he talked about reasonable Republicans that he could win over

Sorry the obvious joke here was a broken down F-35 on cinder blocks on the south lawn. We regret the error

Needs a broken down MRAP on cinder blocks on the south lawn
