President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states.

But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.

Hiding from reality by pulling some LPs from my happy place. Damn shame Michael Penn never got the accolades he so richly deserves. I’m lucky to have this mint OG cutout vinyl of “March,” an album I had on cassette and played until it dissolved. #MichelPenn #vinylcommunity #LP #NowSpinning

Random thought: I’ve always had an affinity for the 60s-era RCA Victor Red Seal LP labels. Blazing but traditional, a nice bridge between the classic “shaded dog” of the 50s and the minimalist block RCA logo of the 70s. #VinylCommunity #vinyl #NowSpinning

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.
Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.

Because it’s the spooky season, I played every physical copy of Berlioz’s “Symphonie Fantastique” I own. There are two versions by Munch and the BSO, one from 1954 and the next from 1962. They’re both amazing, but the ‘62 is my fave. The brilliant Davis on Philips is next. #VinylCommunity #classical
