I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

Since I can’t sleep, here’s another hot take: The world would be a better place if everyoneβ€˜s science literacy was much better. There should be more emphasis on teaching basic science at all levels in school. Science isn’t just something nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

Robin Vos has been Wisconsin democracy’s number one enemy for many years.

He presided over extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression laws, & stripping the powers of Democrats after they won elections.

This may be a sign that Republicans expect to lose their majorities now that WI has fairer maps

The FDA quietly removed a web page warning against therapies and treatments making β€œfalse claims” about autism. Some of those so-called cures include raw camel milk, clay baths, and chlorine dioxide. trib.al/ezfRUbd

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya will take over leadership of CDC temporarily The transition is the latest in a monthslong series of leadership shake-ups across federal health agencies.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is now also the temporary head of the CDC, a role in which he is expected to continue to do nothing but appear on right-wing podcasts and further cement the complete lack of respect of his colleagues.

Vintage Petty bass player Howie Epstein (RIP) grew up a few blocks from where I’m at. Milwaukee lad.

All those brutal winters, the clanking grade-school radiators, the salt trucksβ€”a part of him even while in LA jamming in the studio with Tom.

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

Anyway The Beatles were so bored of European culture they wanted to be Chuck Berry, and the Rolling Stones were so desperate to find escape from their culture that they wanted to be Muddy Waters. But sure little Marco, it’s Columbus, cathedrals and Michelangelo paintings all the way down.

My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, β€œit seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

What does Giannis Antetokounmpo want? He wants to retire with the Milwaukee Bucks In an exclusive interview, Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed what he truly wants in an emotional ode to the city of Milwaukee and Bucks fans.

Know this is a bit moot now that trade deadline has passed, but @jimowczarski.bsky.social’s interview with Giannis Antetokounmpo about what he wants was tremendous.
Next time the rumors swirl (and they will) maybe put more stock in what Jim writes than others.

I have discovered that a very good way to counter The Horrors is to focus on drinking at least two cups of coffee the instant I wake up. I used to drink a half cup and then kind of forget about it but now that simply won't do. Follow me for more health advice

I picked up a hardcover biography of Synge there, and on a later visit, Robert Macfarlane’s Landmarks, and both times rode a bus back to the Burren, dipping into my purchases when not gazing at the bay or the hills.

Pay attention to this. The more popular opinion turns against Trump, the more desperate they are going to get. And the more they are going to try to screw with the elections.
