“Why do you do it? It’s a test,” says guitarist and lead singer Geddy Lee, who turned 73 in July. “It’s howling at the moon! It’s saying, ‘I’m this age now. Can I still do it?’... You always doubt that you can stretch and play at your apogee.” More: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

It is a rare NYT headline this morning. Russia appears to be heavily on the back foot due the innovative drone warfare and presumably from Fedorov's leadership. Surely there is more to this than we understand at present...

Reminder that Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer refused to let Ukraine strike Russian oil and gas, even with their own weaponry. Will somebody in US leadership, someday get Russian policy right?

So Trump shows the new Air Force one and the luxury of it for some reason believing Americans will love that he has such a plush plane. He really believes we are proud of his grift

Please read and share this story. Grateful to @nbcnews.com for running this series on how cuts to Medicaid will dramatically alter how families care for disabled sons, daughters, and spouses. Great work, @mikehixenbaugh.com, and thank you for reporting. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Families caring for disabled relatives face unthinkable choices as Medicaid cuts loom
President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” state budget turmoil and new attacks on paid family caregiving have people fearing financial ruin as they fight to keep loved ones out of institutions.

Trump's incompetent Iran attack may not only mark the end of US hegemony, but he may well have to accept a deal akin to the JPCOA deal he ripped up eight years ago.

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

I found this really interesting analysis from Bloomberg the other day the short version is that, recession or not, inflation or not, workers have less agency because growing capital concentration means corporations don’t have to be competitive employers it’s harder to find better jobs, get raises

Seller's explanation of creating the 'knife wall' for cutting tenon shoulders was a breakthrough for me in getting a crisp, tight joint. I've seen it explained by others including Schwarz, but Sellers somehow clinched it for me. Just spent the afternoon cutting tenons for a side table.

In its tech and in its eugenics, Silicon Valley has such a sad mechanical notion of what intelligence is, one bereft of moral beauty, emotional intelligence, intuition, etc. But in a more meaningful definition of intelligence the titans of industry would discover their own bereftness and dimness.

The ammunition mentioned in this (interesting) article are used for ground operations. I wonder of there is a similar analysis around the replenishment plan of air defense missiles from Ukraine donations, shootdowns of Houthi drones, Israeli replenishment, and now this.

As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

Excellent opportunity to catch up on the phone with your local US House Rep's office while you are standing in line. Ask them what they intend to do about this and also ask why we still need to have "Pre-Check"?
