Have these data been published yet? I'm not seeing them at the NaNDA site, and the DOI in the post points to the data on essential businessness by tract/ZCTA that were recently published.

Mandelson was even telling Epstein to encourage Jamie Dimon to threaten the UK government over plans to tax bankers' bonuses, while Mandelson was the Business Secretary in the UK government.

Is there a need? No. Would the explanation be entertaining and/or informative for a lot of folks, even those familiar with Mandelson? Yes. So go for it! Fire both barrels.

Brooks' most inspired column in years.

Without Jones, there's no "Black Dog" or "The Ocean" or "No Quarter." Or those string arrangements for "The Rain Song" and "Kashmir." Or those great chord changes in "Since I've Been Loving You." Take him away and you'd still have a good band, but not a great one.

Jones talking about how he got into arranging - he'd never done it before, but his dad always told him to never turn down work - made me laugh out loud.

Jones has made that point for years, but the film is very good at explaining what he means by laying out the different backgrounds and experiences and talents the 4 of them brought to the table and how they complemented each other and made the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

Any room for PKD here?

A rare defeat for Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Not at all.

I was at @icpsr.bsky.social earlier checking for new releases and saw several new additions to DataLumos that were from yesterday's hackathon put together by the @datarescueproject.org and @rdapassociation.bsky.social folks. Not the worst thing to see at the start of a work day. ☺️

Cuomo hired me to say Mamdani's people beat me up, T.

Brooks' next column, which will be written between glasses of whiskey during a layover at EWR.

Ooof. Ouch.

Oasis discography - Wikipedia

So I looked up their album sales at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_d..., and you've got a very good point. The sales of their 1st 3 albums in the U.S. were nothing to sneeze at, even if they never had anything like the pop-culture status in the U.S. that they had in the UK.

Miki Berenyi: ‘The claim that Britpop celebrated sassy women in bands was a veneer’ In this extract from the former Lush singer’s memoir, she recalls how Britpop sanded the edges off a thriving UK music scene and enshrined a culture of nasty, relentless sexualisation

www.theguardian.com/music/2022/s... - Miki Berenyi's autobiography has at least one unflattering anecdote about Liam and his attitudes (at the time, anyway) towards women.

Back in the Britpop days, I'd periodically see/read some commentary that asked some variation of the question of why Americans "don't get" Oasis. And I'd think, "well, maybe we do get Oasis, and that's why they're not that popular over here."

While monkey man Musk may be the Mick Jagger of tech, his honky tonk in Wisconsin made him look like a stupid boy. The GOP hopes this tweet-writing man stays 2000 light years from the White House til after ruby Tuesday ‘26, but you can’t always get what you want.

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

The new Pope was named six hours ago. So why hasn’t he given a solo press conference yet?

Not really. If anything important had come up, you'd have been added to a Signal group chat about it. 😊

Shades of "Minority Report." Who needs pre-cogs?
