A friend of mine grew up with John Carter Cash. He tells stories of goofing around with Johnny's guitars, only to have the man himself (he was reportedly very tall) pop his head into the room every half hour or so and ask "you boys want a pizza or something?"
I will go to my GRAVE cackling over this Marlon Brando anecdote

This prompted me to read Brando's Wikipedia page and woooo boy the personal life section is a roller coaster (and it's like 2K words long)

St. Louis Comptroller Donna Baringer says the May 16 tornado should spark city-county cooperation.
She says reunification could expand the tax base, strengthen emergency management and unlock millions in federal funds tied to population size.

Super Bowl takeaways:
As I said earlier, I like Bad Bunny more for his WWE performances than his music ... but it was a solid halftime show.
Happy for Sam Darnold. He really turned his career around.
Man Drake Maye absolutely sucks.

Thank you @ericmgarcia.bsky.social for interviewing Aliya, btw.
It was obvious from watching the video that the ICE officers had zero training in what to do when they encounter neurodivergent people.

I try not to get upset with random Internet commenters, because who knows if they're real people.
But the ones who said Aliya Rahman deserved her treatment and claimed she "should have just complied?" They either don't know how people with sensory disorders react to stress – or they don't care.

I think Pritzker had advantages of a) having supermajority Dem legislatures and b) not being a megalomaniac dunderhead like Blagojevich and alienating everyone. But getting IL in a better financial position is genuinely impressive, though whether it will mean anything in 28 remains to be seen.

This is the anti-vaxx two-step. One of the big arguments anti-vaxxers make (including Trump) is that doctors load up kids with vaccines and this makes them autistic. This is why they argue to spread out the schedule. It's science-washed anti-science
“Any single vaccine” is the key phrasing here.
And it’s deliberate. See, Bhattacharya cannot acknowledge the truth that vaccines do not cause autism—indeed the idea that they do is based on fraudulent research—without alienating his anti-vax friends with whom he made a devil’s bargain for power.

These are pretty good concessions for Senate Democrats, especially the one-day delay to take up House bills with amendments.
The 18 signature requirement to use a PQ only matters if you can't get the entire GOP caucus to sign it (I think abortion/IP/redistricting, et al all got over 18 signaures)
