I'm just sorry my parents had to find out this way

I am anti-vaxx but only the later albums, I kinda liked their debut "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?"

They are playing Sunday at the Village Vanguard in the coffee shop, a desperately-needed relief after doomscrolling on the bus.

I think he was a bit defensive about that. I can't say I really got it before the big Guggenheim retrospective.

"A sculpture is something that if it falls on your foot, it will break it" -- John Chamberlain

All those years waiting for him to die, only to find myself wishing Kissinger could have lived long enough to hear Trump call him a milksop.

A bit unfair, waiting for Kissinger to die before calling him woke.

I was awakened every morning of my first year of college by Charles Hacker in the room next door blasting The Lemonheads' Mrs. Robinson cover at top volume. This is the most traumatic piece in NYT today.

U.S. treasury shares draft designs of $1 Trump coin for America’s 250th birthday U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach on Friday revealed the proposed designs for a $1 coin celebrating President Trump and America’s semiquincentennial next year.

Antisemitism got a little coverage, eg "It's a sheriff's star, not a star of David" but wasn't a central part of Trump campaign rhetoric like Muslim ban and Build the Wall.

Sidewalk's for reg'lar walkin'. Not fer fancy walkin.'

The difference in how ADL handled Trump 1 and Trump 2 is tragic, and wholly driven by the politics of Israel.

ADL 2017 survey shows a majority of Americans agreeing that Trump holds racist views, anti-Muslim views, and anti-Latino views. Also 33% agreeing he holds antisemitic views.

Here's a fun survey I did for ADL in 2017.

This is going to be a fun campaign. NYS is flushing billions of dollars of fees down a Wall Street toilet when it could be investing in relieving the housing crisis.

Mr. Book Voice: SHUT IT DOWN

Our polling says it's mostly GOPs, but it's hard to get people to react to hypotheticals. When one side has a trifecta it's not that complicated; "can't keep the lights on" and "can't make deals" are bad for the party in power.

Remind me again what happened in the elections following the 2018 shutdown, which also occurred during a GOP trifecta?

Nearly all House Democrats attended Tuesday’s pro forma session, an unusual tactic to protest Johnson’s decision to keep the House out of session before the funding deadline Tuesday at midnight. They also demanded that Grijalva be sworn in. However, the session was adjourned without Democrats getting recognized on the floor.

The relevant passage is below. Not in the majority /= not concerned

I am also frustrated, but the linked article makes clear that it is very much not the case that leadership is unconcerned with this or "everything else"

A Novice Defense Secretary Lectures the Brass on What It Takes to Win

I'm curious @gregjaffe.bsky.social why not frame around his comments on rules of engagement, which feel more newsworthy since they shed light on actions the military is taking (Venezuelan boats) and Trump's speech (deployment in US cities)?

"AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI"

I get that this is just a live blog, and they haven't written the story yet, but saying that there is no clear purpose because Trump is just reciting grievances you've heard before from him is insane.

"There does not seem to be a clear point or purpose in President Trump’s address to military generals today."

NYT hed: "Trump tells top brass US cities should be military 'training grounds'" "Defense Secy Pete Hegseth also spoke to hundreds of generals and admirals summoned from around the world"

nbd just some training exercises
