Not sure how I'd feel about my local sheriff being replaced with a man whose extra-judicial murder of another man is his standard for justice. Regardless of how many online love this story

“Ghostly traces of the master recording bubbling up through them, but completely different in feel and atmosphere. The dub could take on a life of its own, eclipsing the track that birthed it.”

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

1492 Words and music © 1991 by Nancy Schimmel In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue, He didn’t know what he thought he knew* And someone was already here. Columbus knew the world was round So he looked for the East while westward bound, But he didn’t find what he thought he found And someone was already here. Chorus: The Innuit and Cherokee, The Aztec and Menominee, The Onadaga and the Cree; Columbus sailed across the sea, But someone was already here. It isn't like it was empty space, Tainos** met him face to face. Could anyone discover the place When someone was already here? Chorus So tell me, who discover what? He thought he was in a different spot. Columbus was lost, the Tainos** were not; They were already here. Chorus Lyric updates since the recording was made: *The line refers to Columbus being so sure the world was much smaller than it is, ignoring the fact that the ancient Greeks had measured it pretty accurately. ** A more accurate name for the tribe involved.
