Am I reading into it too much or are WNYC’s music picks this morning pointed?

So far I’ve caught:
-“RESPECT”
-“Shake it Off”

Notice a throughline?

Last week, WNYC began broadcasting without any federal funding for the first time in its 100-year history.

This isn’t law enforcement—this is an attack on civilians by armed agents of the state.

That’s what we’d call this in any other country. That’s what it is here.

That anyone is even asking this question represents a profound cultural and political change in the United States.

For those unfamiliar with Petro–a former M-19 guerrilla and Bogota mayor–the man isn’t one to hold his tongue to avoid a fight.

I recently alienated a casual acquaintance with my aggressive anti-okra stance but I grew up in the South in the 80s. Even fried was slimy! I’ll never get over it.

The president is a real estate developer and reality TV star. Here’s what doctors, scientists, and autism experts say about Tylenol and vaccines.

When disinformation muddies the waters, @rewirenewsgroup.com floods the zone with truth.

VA Sen. Tim Kaine on pressuring the state’s federal prosecutors to go after Trump’s political opponents: “You have my pledge that I will do everything I can to uphold the rule of law in Virginia and act to check anyone’s efforts, even the President of the United States, who tries to tear it down.”

COVID, MMRV Vaccine Guidelines Have Changed (Updated) The CDC panel’s vote could restrict vaccine access for scores of people.

If you’re not the type to tune into vaccine panel mtgs, you missed personal attacks, dropped calls, awkward silences, overall chaos—& some news that may change when and how you & your family can get vaccinated. @cameronoakes.bsky.social was following the debate live, and she breaks it all down here

Wired and Business Insider remove articles by AI-generated ‘freelancer’ At least six publications have taken down articles under the name Margaux Blanchard that were AI-generated

For real tho this happened

The website that had to retract an AI-authored story it unwittingly assigned and published decides actually robot writers are fine

Holy crap

If the U.S. were a foreign country we read about in the press, many Americans would see it as too dangerous to visit.

Instead, we live here.

Colleges End Trans-Friendly Housing Policies Amid Federal Anti-DEI Push LGBTQ-friendly dorms and resource centers are disappearing as President Donald Trump imposes his anti-DEI agenda.

If your college kid is trans or nonbinary, they may have gotten an unwelcome new dorm assignment this year. Several schools have reversed or restricted gender-inclusive housing policies in hopes of keeping their federal funding, inc Univ Kansas & UNC Asheville, @rewirenewsgroup.com reporting finds.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

Revolutionary.

About a decade ago NYC became (I think) the first U.S. city to make pre-K free. Then it included 3-year-olds. Spots in 3K programs, which save families $10k-$30K a year, are coveted and competitive. To imagine universal free childcare in *this* country? It will change so many lives.

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” was all the groom, 81, said to CNN when called for comment.

I’m old enough to remember when ol’ Ollie ran for governor of VA. (That’s when I learned about Iran-Contra, and everyone else was reminded of it—not great for his campaign).

Strong Duterte vibes.

The former Philippines president is at The Hague now for his extrajudicial killings disguised as a war on drugs. But of course the US isn’t a member of the International Criminal Court, and rarely has it felt bound by international law.

VACCINES FOR ALL: Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to New Yorkers who request them, according to plans shared exclusively with Playbook. The Democrat’s executive order will mirror actions taken by other blue state governors this week to protect access to the latest Covid vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration has only granted limited approval of the jab for older adults and individuals considered to be high-risk. That’s prompted Democratic leaders to create their own vaccine guidance and explore ways they can legally protect access to the shot for everyone. “By signing this EO, Governor Hochul is making it clear that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers will still be able to make their own health care decisions and get the care they need from trusted providers in their community,” Hochul spokesperson Kara Cumoletti said in a statement to POLITICO. This morning, POLITICO Pro reported that the Hochul administration is reviewing potential solutions to the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict vaccine access. However, a long-term fix may require legislative changes by lawmakers either through a special session, or when they return to the state Capitol in January. “This temporary order will ensure seamless access while the Governor works with the Legislature on a long-term solution to safeguard preventive care and vaccines,” Cumoletti added. — Katelyn Cordero
