DC folks, this record shop I found a bit back has tons of local DC stuff — Roberta Flack, reggae, punk, & of course Chucky & Go-go — so I need y'all to help keep them in business. Down from Mr. Henry's on PA, 2nd floor above Barrel. Support local musicians & businesses. spintimerecords.com

I'm pleased with this

Cool, cool. Trump is going to fence off public access to the famous DC monuments celebrating America's principles of liberty, freedom, and democracy just in time for the 250th July 4th celebrations.

This is a disgrace...

Gov. Mike DeWine said a U.S. Supreme Court decision to end TPS for Haitians is not in Ohio's best interest. 📸 Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch It's probably not in their best interest either, Mikey.

I honestly think Summer Streets are the best events in NYC, and possibly the world. 10 miles of car free walking, riding, and jogging through all of Manhattan, completely free. Just unbeatable.

It is notable that the administration did NOT take this case to the Supreme Court, part of a recent pattern.

No fanfare but, at some point in the last 4 years, California stopped being a grid that occasionally beat fossil fuels and became one that does it on a daily basis.

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

NEW: Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Cool PBS report on plug-in solar. (Wish they'd gotten into plug-in batteries too!)

What is wild to me... all the revisionists who treat the Bush administration like it wasn't a criminal enterprise. Just because Trump has set the bar so low does not take Bush off the hook. He was paving the way... I lived this

I wrote about a particularly embarrassing few weeks for AI hype, and how big tech is desperate to get ahead of an economic collapse they'll be directly responsible for (in more ways than one)

If Republicans don't like people excitedly speculating regarding Trump's death, they can just ignore it, the way they do gun violence.

LOOK AT THIS T SHIRT!!

We have a village busy body, they can be irritating but play an important role. A little entertainment for your day.

Uh oh. The head of CBS Entertainment is privately warning that the Bari Weiss train wreck is inflicting significant damage on the broader CBS brand. And shes not alone. Inside Paramount, "some believe she should be relieved of her duties." The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

A world leader with empathy!

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

US data center construction rose to a new record high in official data released today, hitting a pace of nearly $51B/yr (and this only includes data center facilities, not the expensive computers within) Spending is up 28% over the last year and 268% since the launch of ChatGPT

Adjust for inflation, and US office construction is holding at worst-of-the-great-recession levels, falling nearly 60% since the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and down 9% over the last year in data released today

Trump has managed to turn the White House grounds into a combination demolition site coupled with a carnival grounds.

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Go out and tell our story Let it echo far and wide Make them hear you How justice was our battle And how justice was denied Make them hear you
