Yet many NPR member stations air the Times’ loathsome program The Daily, wherein NYT hacks interview other NYT hacks.
And the station donors just eat that corporate journalism shit up.

In a world full of chaos, I think we can all at least take some solace in the fact that Dolly Parton exists.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Rare soul in a sort of Bill Withers vein, but singularly his own. This beautiful song is from Wright’s self-released 1977 lo-fi album Telling the Truth. The awesome Numero Group label rereleased it in 2011.
Wright passed away in 2020.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

The purpose of the system is what it does, and for the last decade you can count on one hand how many times a journalist has ever asked a followup question of trump or yet another coked up billionaire sex pest babbling incoherent word salad at them while sweating like a pig.

The most powerful question a journalist could ask of the rich and powerful is "what do you mean by that?" with the tenacity of a kid asking "why?"
Which is why they don't.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Shit the past few years have been a blur. May, 2024, actually.
Sadly, I can’t see the aurora tonight (maybe too far south, too close to LA, marine layer), but in April of 2023 I captured these shots from near Boulder, Colorado.
Drove around in the countryside until 2 a.m., agog at the wonder of it all.
