How much ya think consultants made to come up with the plan to change “Philadelphia Museum of Art” to “Philadelphia Art Museum?” whyy.org/articles/phi...

The Philadelphia Museum of Art changes its name and its brand

The PMA will now be the more colloquial Philadelphia Art Museum, reflecting an institute embracing its host city.

Ok it's Prime Day or whatever and Amazon is gross but also if we are ordering stuff there WHY NOT ADD ON A PREORDER OF MY JUSTICE-FOCUSED BOOK. It's broadly accessible and has a positive message and will make you feel better when it finally ships.

Shamelessly,
Love,
Chad

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes

Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

I just saw this on an official government website, I don’t even have words. This is so far beyond the pale.

www.aphis.usda.gov

Black text on blue background, following an “information” symbol (the letter i in a circle), reading: The Radical Left Democrats shutdown the government. This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.

Permabanning an autistic user for presumed subtext he categorically denies is ableist as hell.

Today, I'm calling on my fellow humans to get the single most annoying email out of your inbox as soon as possible. The one where you're like "ugh." Just decide you're gonna file it and never answer it or do the thing it asks or give it any mental energy at all.

And after you do it for the one...
