Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson. Thank you for the music.

Wilson originally wrote this gem for the Ronettes, who never covered it. He intended it as a follow up to their epochal hit, "Be My Baby." In 1999, the late, great Ronnie Spector contributed her version.

One concrete aim of the disinformation campaigns (driven in large part by Russia) is to drive a wedge between the left and its Jews. Wild horses couldn’t drag me into Trump’s corner but I feel how effectively this is working, even on me, because when the far left shoehorns Palestine into every progressive issue under the sun, when Palestine becomes a “queer issue” and an “environmental issue” and treated as the crown jewel of a hundred other unrelated issues, and elevated to intersectional priority #1 — when so much more progressive energy seems directed against Israel than against Trump even in the midst of a fascist takeover of the U.S. — then even I am alienated from the places I formerly brought tireless energy. https://neveralone.substack.com/p/thoughts-on-the-selfie-yacht?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-dd1e7934-2d14-4d42-9ae7-a9b8cba41f97

“There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies. The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the ‘celebrities’ will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels,” the ministry adds.

The usual suspects are outraged that Thunberg's been "kidnapped" by Israel.

Nice try, but no. Kidnapping is what Hamas does. It's not the same as detaining, feeding-and deporting-a band of attention-seeking, Hamas-loving LARPers attempting to enter a war zone. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.

What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

I'm deeply skeptical about the government's case. But even if Abrego Garcia is found guilty in a court of law, two things are clear:

One. The US can compel El Salvador to return deportees.
and
Two. TACO. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in U.S. custody after being illegally deported and will now face criminal charges

The courts ordered the administration to facilitate his return after he was deported to El Salvador in violation of a court order.

"He didn't mention Star Wars because he wanted to focus on theater instead, but...Carrie Fisher wasn't having it.

"She goes, 'What's the deal?...Get over yourself. You're Luke Skywalker, I'm Princess Leia. Embrace it,'" Hamill says. "And I kind of saw what she meant."

Mark Hamill used to downplay his 'Star Wars' past. Now he's embracing it

Hamill played Luke Skywalker, one of the most iconic heroes in movie history. His latest film, The Life of Chuck, is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella.

Absolutely. And calling to "end Zionists" is an incitement to kill Jewish civilians for their political beliefs.

Glenn L @glennvy.bsky.social · Jun 2

The victims were raising awareness for Hamas' hostages in Gaza. Video shows the suspect screaming, "End Zionists" & "Palestine is free." Yet another grim reminder that antisemitism is a dangerous conspiracy theory in which Jews are held collectively responsible for everything the haters despise.

Experts observe that "AI models will lie, cheat & disable mechanisms to achieve their goals." However, according to Palisade Research, "this is the first time AI models have been observed preventing themselves from being shut down despite explicit instructions..."
www.livescience.com/technology/a...

OpenAI's 'smartest' AI model was explicitly told to shut down — and it refused

An artificial intelligence safety firm has found that OpenAI's o3 and o4-mini models sometimes refuse to shut down, and will sabotage computer scripts in order to keep working on tasks.
