If you have Sirius Radio and you like the Talking Heads, they have a channel dedicated to them this month. Already today I heard some great interviews (all 4 band members together), stories, alternate versions, and some of their musical influences. Channel 145 check it out!

@kallao.bsky.social That Australian set was great! Sadly, every time I hear that final verse of "The Dead Heart" by #MidnightOil I think of the #CitizensUnited decision...

Hundreds of thousands of Philly sports fans will one day claim to have been at today's #Phillies game and that they stayed to the end. Around 90% of them will be lying. (I stayed for the #Schwarbomb!)

Reflecting Pool lessons: 1. Trump administration lying is routine and pervasive. Nothing they say or do should have a "presumption of regularity." 2. They spend our money to prosecute innocent people. Congress should cut and restrict funds and hold liars accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

The National Park Service needs to restore the slavery exhibit at the President's House Site in Philadelphia within three weeks. Three weeks from today is July 3. So, as of now, the exhibit will be back up for the biggest weekend at Independence NHP in 50 years. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/u...

It's really impressive how accurate MLB umpires are in calling balls & strikes, as proven by the ABS system in #MLB this year. If only political pundits were even half as accurate over the last 10 years or so!

Here’s a look behind the scenes of one under-the-radar trial, and the men at the heart of it. Two worlds collided, literally and figuratively, as did NJ’s best instincts, and its worst. The trial audio was especially helpful. Read and listen here:

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social 1. Great job with the #xpncountdown! 2. Wasn't Lana Del Rey's cover of "Doin Time" also a cover of Gershwin's "Summertime"? That would make Summertime tied with Satisfaction for the 4th most covered song. cc @somevelvetblog.bsky.social
