FYI Petfinder has recently changed policies for searches on out of town pets, which is drastically shifting the abilities of small rescues in Texas to move dogs out of Texas to adopters in other parts of the country. If you've adopted from a small rescue, please amplify their rescue work.

It’s also coming from a guy who at times doesn’t know what documents he’s signing or who he’s granting executive clemency to
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

The Shambles are back - with a new single, too. Weird seeing a clean Pete jam this classic (the lyrics), but love to see his joy these days. Pete has been prolific lately. Credit the sadly departed Pat Walden for the incredible riff. #Babyshambles #PeterDoherty

"One of the officers noted in the report that after watching video footage, they were able to determine that Mace had originally been dropped off in a BMW that was not white."

Doves' "Constellations" album was drivel.
But this "recovered" Kingdom of Rust-era track, "Spirit of Your Friend," ALMOST atones. Beautiful, soaring indie rock that rates well with their best work.
Saddens me it's an add-on to an upcoming money-grab "Best Of" album

Man, remember when removing statues was erasing history and that was absolutely not okay?
“The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.”

Let me guess, "Defense" is too "woke." Granted, in the grand scheme of things, this is relatively benign stupidity. Last week's "tough guy flex" was painting his cope fence black.
Trump hints he will likely change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
“I don't want to be defense only,” the president said. “We want offense too.”

Everybody acted like Kamala was an idiot when she called Donnie's proposed tariff scheme the "Trump tax" during the debates. Half the folks just didn't understand how tariffs work. And the other half didn't actually take Donnie seriously, that he would actually carry out such harebrained schemes.
A new wave of inflation is likely to course through the U.S. in the next several months, economists insist, as the costs of tariffs are absorbed by businesses or households.
Is tariff inflation finally here? Consumer prices might show biggest increase of the year.
Economists have warned for months about rising inflation due to U.S. tariffs, but like the recent tsunami warnings from the Kamchatka earthquake, the danger has not come to pass. Until now.
