I bought Mojo magazine as I fancied reading the Pulp interview and listening to the CD and yes I did that, but what really impressed me was the mag is full of ads for gigs. Actually useful ads. Remember that? The virtuous relationship between a publication, readership and the stuff they want to buy.

No one enjoys being wrong. Society often teaches us to fear mistakes, framing errors as signs of inadequacy or failure.
Yet being wrong—making mistakes, errors, and misjudgments—is not only natural but essential for meaningful personal growth.

The Beauty of Being Wrong
No one enjoys being wrong. Society often teaches us to fear mistakes, framing errors as signs of inadequacy or failure. Yet being wrong—making mistakes, errors, and misjudgments—is not only natural but essential for meaningful personal growth. Far from being purely negative, errors offer rich opportunities to learn, innovate, and evolve. Recognizing the true value of being wrong can transform how we approach challenges, embrace risks, and ultimately grow as individuals.

This is the Red Wolf. Only 16 of them are known to exist in the wild, most in North Carolina. If you see one, please don't shoot it! It's not a coyote or a wild dog. We are trying to repopulate these beautiful animals. They belong here too!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
