Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Millions have been allocated to remove asphalt from schoolyards and replace it with green spaces, such as plants and trees, providing much-needed shade for students. One local company, SLA, is also using the funds to train people who have few job prospects, giving them valuable skills.

The founder of this South East L.A. company grew up going to schools with few green spaces and living in neighborhoods with limited job prospects.

Along with directing an episode of TWIN PEAKS, Diane Keaton also directed four movies (one doc, three features).

I’ve only seen two: HANGING UP and WILDFLOWER. They’re both flawed but interesting and make me wish she’s directed more films. I gotta track down the other two.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion opening for Rage Against the Machine was savagely booed. I apologized to the drummer as they were leaving the venue before RATM hit the stage and he was nonplussed, like a good New Yorker.

It's not limited to rock! Once I saw Blackalicious on tour opening for another rapper and during the last song or two of their set some dickhead in the audience kept chanting the headliner's name:

"KWELI! KWELI! KWELI!"

It feels like some kind of universal constant that rock bands will often much more varied and interesting taste than their fanbase. I saw Mike Patton band Peeping Tom open for the the Who some time the mid-2000s and boy did that audience not care for them (I thought they were pretty good)

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
