“No Shelter” is such a banger. A lyrical indictment of film culture placed on the “Godzilla” soundtrack.

I mean this is a big ask and it changes daily, but right now it’s “So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” for the guitar riff at the start that goes to the bass guitar the rest of the song

Hey so this is what I’ve been working on lately. Your Washington’s goal is to help improve the customer experience with state agencies — and highlight the collaborations that result. There’s a lot of people who made this story happen, and I’m happy to have had a hand in it.

City of Angels was a movie made for its soundtrack. Contains arguably the best songs Alanis Morrisette and the Goo Goo Dolls ever put to tape, a really explicit Paula Cole seed jam, and classics from Hendrix and John Lee Hooker.

new addition to the “Washed Files”: my kids are obsessed with the Spidey and His Amazing Friends show, and I just paid attention to the theme song. “That sounds like Fall Out Boy.” Theme composed and performed by Patrick Stump. Fuck, I’m so old.

It’s a question worth asking but Fox did so much damage to the sport in its hard pivot away from the Fox Soccer days, never mind ESPN’s continued debasing of itself, that leaning on European/British names as part of European soccer coverage in the U.S. is both smart and a political choice.

Dolly Parton on funding education and childhood literacy programs: My daddy was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."
