I'm really bad at promoting the business. Anyway. I make jewellery. It's cute. You should buy some so I can continue to make more. This is our Spiral Raindrop necklace. You can find it, and many others, here: montgomeryramsay.com
A model in a black shirt wears a Spiral Raindrop necklace in the sun. We can't see the model's face. Is she smiling? Is she laughing? Is she squinting and grimacing because it's bright and sunny and we just cut her face out because of that? No one knows. A Spiral Raindrop necklace lies on a white surface at a kind of 45 degree angle. The necklace itself is a twist of wires spaced evenly apart in an angled almost American football-like shape. There are 9 of them. Their shape creates truss supports that reinforce the structure of the necklace while keeping it light. At the top is a bail with a hexagon in the middle. Why a hexagon? As if you really need to ask. A Spiral Raindrop necklace hangs against a white background. No one is wearing it. How is it hanging? There's no obvious table. Where is that shadow coming from? Does anything exist in this reality beyond that of the necklace itself, and, if not, who is around to take the photograph? None of these existential questions will be answered by purchasing one of these necklaces, but they won't have to be, because it's pretty, and you will forget all about them the moment it arrives in its branded purple Montgomery-Ramsay box.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

Bari Weiss tried to get “60 Minutes” to make Minneapolis protestors look more violent, AFTER the Feds killed two of us. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m... (Gift link)
From the NY Times interview with Scott Pelley: You've now accused Weiss of injecting "falsehoods and bias" into at least one of your politically sensitive stories. What did she specifically ask for? What story? That's February, and my team and I are doing a story about the protests in Minneapolis against the ICE crackdown there. We've interviewed Senator Rand Paul, Republican, because he's going to hold hearings into this, and the
fact that a Republican was going to do that was quite newsworthy. So, we interviewed Senator Paul and then built out a story about what had happened — the killing of Renee Good, the killing of Alex Pretti, the protests. I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive and that they were half of these confrontations, and so I instructed my producers
to find images in which we see the protesters acting aggressively. We found a picture of a protester chest-bumping an officer. We
found a picture of an officer being hit in the head with a snowball. We culled together a lot of video of protesters screaming in the faces of officers because we were going to talk about the killing of Pretti and the killing of Good, and it seemed to me important to tell the audience about the entire context. I thought we'd done a really good job with this. We also included a picture of Alex Pretti before he was killed kicking out a taillight on a police car and made a point
of saying, this is Alex Pretti and this is what he did.So, the story goes through screenings. It's very well received. There are notes as always and we do rewrites as always. But this is on a very tight deadline. It's Sunday; we're going on the air that night. And in the case of stories that are, as we say, crashing, our deadline on Sunday is noon. So, we work on all of these things. We get the piece approved by everyone. And about four hours after our deadline, Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent? Now, I'm paraphrasing. I don't have the quote, but that's what was communicated to me. And the other thing, Renee
Good's car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer. This is not what you see on the video. On the video, you see the officer standing slightly off the front of the car. And you clearly see Ms. Good's wheels turned completely as far as they will go, away from the officer. But he shoots her in the head, kills her, and says
something about her that I can't repeat in polite company. We have gone out of our way in our plan from the very beginning to show the protesters for the responsibility that they had. We had
already scrubbed the video archives, looking for those scenes. Somehow that wasn't enough for Ms. Weiss. The video showed that the officer wasn't standing in front of the car and she wasn't driving toward him, but that's what the president said about that,
and that's the way she wanted it described.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:
New statement from Scott Pelley:
 
There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.
 
The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS. 
 
“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.
 
The waste is heartbreaking.
 
Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all. 
 
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.
 
I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.
 
Scott Pelley
