RIP Jack DeJohnette - one of the most artful and propulsive drummers ever. This duet with Michael Brecker is etched in my brain.

“Assault rifles turn survivable injuries into fatal ones. They turn small tragedies into mass tragedies.”

It’s that simple.

sam altman tweet: i never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now

These guys are simply not smart.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

This is how normal people stir their coffee, right?

A scintillating user experience! One could draft an opus to desktop printing, regulations, culture, bad habit, and adhesives. Also, fonts.

I think my favorite thing about @microsoft.com PowerPoint is its ability to absolutely mess up any and all typography - desktop app or online, it’s sure to fail you 100%.

The Trump Administration Is Going After Your Grandma When older adults lose access to vital services, their entire families face the consequences.

“Solidarity and advocacy across generations are not just an exercise of empathy, it’s a means of future survival.”

Kudos to @teenvogue.com for continuing to shine a light on complex topics, like aging.

“They want order. They want sameness. But the only sameness they want is for you to be as miserable as they are.“

SHOFERINE!

Hats off to @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social for scientifically describing Trump and team, as “committing economic suicide to chase the ghosts of an imagined past while promising an impossible future.” We’ve seen this not work at all, before!

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

Wow. @booker.senate.gov can talk coherently *and kindly* for 24+ hours, meanwhile POTUS can’t speak without malice or ignorance for a few sentences.

State GOP legislators warn Minnesota Republicans in Congress against slashing Medicaid The group wrote U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer and other Minnesota Republicans in Congress “there is no practical way to accommodate some of the proposed massive reductions.”

I don’t agree with MN state rep Jim Abeler (R) on much, but do appreciate his willingness to advocate for the disabled here in MN. His colleagues in DC should listen.
