A lot of super talented artists seem eccentric and unapproachable outside of their art, and I think what made Dolly such a rare gem was that she added so much to society in addition to her incredible art. She seemed almost mythical while simultaneously being entirely approachable and warm. #RIPDolly

Foreigners enjoying their World Cup trip aren’t enjoying or seeing the “real USA” like some media is positioning their experience. They are loving the blue cities, blue college towns, and the kind people from those places, plus the incredible food made possible my multiculturalism.

The big reveal at the end of The Matrix trilogy should’ve just been that a handful of billionaires were secretly running all the machines, and were completely ok with using humans as batteries while the planet burned.

Box office failure recently has been attributed mostly to the cost of the theater but it seems like a big factor is that so many people don’t have the emotional energy to spend on dark and sad movies. The first 28 years later was both (& great) but it’s hard to sell sad in a depressing world.

A little levity in awful times: My wife was homeschooled and then went to an all girl private high school. The topic of pooping at school came up and she is flabbergasted that me and all of my public school friends responded that we tried our damndest to never take a shit at school. Anyone else? 🚽

If one tech/software company went all in on being AI free and had good data and privacy policies they could crush much in the same way “organic” became a premium feature for food. They could even probably charge more by NOT investing in and forcing AI on their users.

If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you are not trespassing or violating a lawful order. You should not interfere with the actions of the government officials you are recording. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.""If you interact with ICE in public: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk away. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere."

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, wehave effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.
Sharyn

“My car’s making a weird noise, the warning lights are on, and it shakes over 50 mph. I’m driving it to the mechanic.” MAGA: “Your car’s fine if it drives! Wait until it won’t start to drive it in, you dumb liberal.” That’s basically every MAGA comment under posts about the #NoKings protest.

When people dismiss historical atrocities like slavery as “a different time” and culturally acceptable back then, I think they are just excusing themselves for current atrocities like targeting trans people & immigrants. Eventually they’ll claim now was a different time and they didn’t know better.

P.s. we should all be talking about the dropping crime numbers in amazement given the conditions of increasing wealth inequality, a broken healthcare system, and an economic and environmental path we are on that leaves many younger Americans seeing no positive future for themselves.

Exactly, I moved to a very nice neighborhood in Kansas City last summer and got Ring Alerts for the first time and you’d think there were constant gun battles and thieves lurking in the quietest neighborhood I’ve ever lived in.

There may be less crime, but the fear and rage based social media landscape has made everyone way more aware any crimes and tons of suspicions. And geolocation gives proximity to how far it is away from your home. (3/3) @jamellebouie.net @bencollins.bsky.social @atrupar.com @gelliottmorris.com
