Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

A little known fact is that the scientific name for the minimum possible quantum of integrity is "the Tillis".

Heartbreaking to see what the Supreme Court's college admissions ruling has done to my alma mater, Amherst College.

Snubs JD Vance. Dunks on JD Vance. "My work is done here, time to go home."

That drummer guy. Jeff. Tom. Bobby. Roy. George. Hey Del. We would like to cover one of your songs. What was that like?

We have a situation on 52d

when the tariffs hit

45 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show at friend Kathleen O'Brien's birthday party. Sandra Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.

April Fools Day can fuck right off.

Been thinking about barbecue lately…

BREAKING: The Monitors were just hacked at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to display an AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk’s toes. The caption over it read: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

Ok so things may get worse but they can't possibly get any *stupider* so at least there's that

And another

Just an absolute hooper 🏀

Firing off a HOT email to my US Senator (Tillis, not Witllis):

The band has contributed a previously unreleased live version of “Electrolite” from the 1999 Montreux Jazz Festival to “Good Music to Lift Los Angeles” — a fundraising compilation record that will be available for only 24 HOURS this Friday, 2/7 on Bandcamp: goodmusiccomp.bandcamp.com

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

I have a law joke I would like to submit to fellow Mammoths @adambonin.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social for review, critique, etc: This guy Donald thinks he can just erase parts of the 14th amendment he doesn't like. Who does he think he is, John Roberts?

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is an anti-science activist group. They lie every year about “harms” of conventionally-grown produce with their Dirty Dozen list - solely for profit. BUT EWG ALSO propagated the lie that vaccines cause autism. 1/

OK, I was skeptical but this is cool:

Well done to @vanityfair.com for continuing to tell truth.

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt. I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India. My father worked for the Pulse Polio program. What is happening?
