Best stumbled-upon so far this month is Utopian Daymare, a Mongolian prog-rock band indebted to King Crimson, Pink Floyd, maybe Magma. The new live album, 'Wind Blows, Sun Burns,' runs deep, heavy, and spacy. Wish I had the lyrics, but the music's convincing. badhead1.bandcamp.com/album/--24 #FTZWT

Democrats say Donald Trump molests children. As president, he's been far more likely to starve or deport them. Two Pinocchios.

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism.
Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

But *their* emails?
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
