You know about this show "Band of Brothers"? It's pretty good!

Oh wow. "Held: IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The judgment in No. 24–1287 is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction; the judgment in No. 25– 250 is affirmed." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

My mom joined the Goodspeed production crew just after Harrigan 'n Hart. Some of my favorite stories that she shares are from her time there. I really enjoyed hearing Mark talk a bit about his run.

The year is 1700. A time traveler visits and shows you the appliances of 2025. Which appliance blows your mind the most? It's the dehumidifier. Turn it on and a few hours later you have a gallon of water.

I won tickets to Ozzfest in 2003 from Radio 104. When I picked them up, the staff realized that giving lawn tickets to a 13-year-old was a terrible idea and they gave me VIP tickets instead. That night is a core memory. #RIPOzzy

I wish everyone could see behind the scenes at NPR today. It's inspiring to see people get back up and do their jobs, just as they do every day. Journalism is important work and it will continue.

Hello just wanted to say: Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people. Just noting.

This cut is going to hurt all of public media. But it is going to devastate, if not eliminate the stations that cover rural America. There are communities where public media is the only thing they can access with just a radio or TV antennae.

During foster parent training, we were told that when filling out paperwork, Parent 1 should be the mom (for heterosexual couples). Even the instructor told us that was ridiculous, but she said that's what the state prefers.

I've recently started getting push notifications for the Staples subreddit. It is mostly employees encouraging others to quit before the company goes under. It's remarkable that Staples still exists in the first place.

This is one of the rare cases where the headline UNDERPLAYS the insanity of what actually happened. Like to be clear, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic spent most of the article thinking this was an AI-driven scam. An absolute must read. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
