the problem with listening to a fantastic album that features a song on Obama's Top Songs of 2022, is that when you listen to That Song you're like "damn, Obama's interns were cooking"
Album art of the Album "I Walked With You A Ways" by Plains. Plains was a side project with Katie Crutch field of Waxahatchee and Jess Williamson.

Trump: [Trevor Noah] said I spent time on Jeffrey’s— Jeffrey Epstein's island. I didn't. He's a lightweight, this guy, I think he's terrible.

This random online comment from 2018 remains one of the last half-century's most important works of political commentary. crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual. As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

happy national bike month! I am apparently a Cargo Bike (bikeleague.org/bike-month-q...)
Quiz results: You are a ... Cargo Bike. "You're a utilitarian go-getter who's always prepared and ready for anything. You've got snacks, tools, and maybe a passenger or two — all packed with style. Rolling up to the big box store? No problem. You've mastered the art of bulk hauling by bike. And if a zombie apocalypse hits, you're not panicking — you're pedaling past traffic with supplies and a solid escape plan."

Lots to be sad about in 2025 but one pretty big victory is there seems to be a lot less clamshell packaging than there was in the 2010s
