Today's Headlines The Strait is open/closed. There is/isn't a ceasefire. A guy mismanaged a thing because sex/money/booze. Someone was briefly reprimanded for something they should've been jailed for. A religion was used to justify something somewhere. Iggy Pop turned 79.

A @themountaingoats.bsky.social performance for the ages. Band on fire and John seems to have unlocked a portal that helps him shoe-horn a novel into a pop song. Speechless.

A penny cost 3 cents to make. A nickel costs more than a dime to make. Perfect lesson in modern economics.

under my regime if a company uses the term “tools” to refer to something without measurable weight which cannot be physically brandished and used as a weapon, that company will be dissolved and its assets seized

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

Durham Pride this weekend. Taking a moment to recognize the horrors & sacrifices so many people endured to drag us forward from our natural resting neanderthal state. Good to live in a place with a history of kindness, compassion, tolerance and occasional heroism.

Somehow I have never seen it. Will rectify! My Syracuse classmates and I are always quick to point out that the incredible show Prince played at the Dome on the Purple Rain tour is preserved forever as a DVD and live album. Astonishing .
