One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.
"If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos."

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

It's very possible that the conversation between Steve Witkoff and Putin's aide Ushakov has been leaked by Russians (it's obvious that they make recordings of all conversations).

I wish this didn't feel like a typical feature of rape culture: denying the capacity of women and girls to bear witness, refusing to listen to them, erasing their voices.....

Paul McCartney joins music industry protest against AI with silent track
Former Beatle and artists including Sam Fender, Kate Bush and Hans Zimmer record silent LP Is This What We Want
At two minutes 45 seconds it’s about the same length as With a Little Help From My Friends. But Paul McCartney’s first new recording in five years lacks the sing-along tune and jaunty guitar chops because there’s barely anything there.
The former Beatle, arguably Britain’s greatest living songwriter, is releasing a track of an almost completely silent recording studio as part of a music industry protest against copyright theft by artificial intelligence companies. Continue reading...
