RUHLE: Why do you think the president is taking this position? TILLIS: Uhhh. I think he got bad advice RUHLE: Why do you talk about advice? He's the president! You said he's got great political instincts, and millions of Americans are suffering

Yes, the president leaked Tom Cotton's cell phone number, but you should not sign Tom Cotton up for Act Blue donation requests or testosterone pill scams or other things like that, because that would be very funny.

The GOP promised us Mamdani would usher in sharia law. Instead, we got line dancing in Bryant Park and free opera tickets. Pretty cool.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Cassandra Wilson was one of our most gifted vocalists, just an unreal talent. Here is my obituary for NPR Music. (I believe I’ll also be on the broadcast later this evening.)

Cassandra Wilson, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist, dies at 70
Wilson, who's deep, dark contralto was one of the most distinctive voices in jazz, died on Wednesday in her hometown of Jackson, Miss.

I have a music theory question I hope someone can help with. A Picard Third is a major chord at the end of a tune in a minor key. Is there a name for the opposite? “A Summer Song” by Chad & Jeremy is in A major but ends in F# minor. Is this a thing with a name?

This idiotic tweet reminds me of when a friend and I visited Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Founded in 1850, it reveals a fascinating history. We noticed how many gravestones were for infants. And for many young sibling dying in the same week. We realized that it was before vaccines and antibiotics.
