Turns out, the Trump administration has quietly added in new federal subsidies for the "sport of kings," too.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

I always considered Al Jarreau to be in a class by himself. His voice was next level by any measure. I saw him in concert once, and his stage presence was so warm - almost fragile. His cover of “Since I Fell For You” w/Bob James & David Sanborn holds up beautifully, still.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

(BTW 350°F? What the H, man. Fire hazard central.)
The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

If you simply disenthrall yourself from your financially crippling addiction to fairly basic food and beverages you too can one day own a house.
