Last year, a $225,000 grant kept our newsroom afloat. That money paid for the production of hundreds of stories, photos and videos exclusively about Long Beach, but it was a one-time grant that now needs to be replaced.

Taylor Swift’s new chart topper is an achievement of e-commerce, not music, argues @skornhaber.bsky.social:

I know there is a difference between Alan Rickman and Jonathan Richman, but my brain associates Alan Rickman with ‘Parties in the USA’

Wind River is devastating, and I once again chose poorly and lost sleep. It’s not a bedtime movie is all I’m saying. I have a new respect for trackers.

The way we joke about the second half of ‘Layla’ there should be a crowdfunded option for someone playing a piano in a truck bed to play only that part over and over following along in real time while the scoundrel gets their comeuppance.

Ain’t it funny how the people who bitch about seed oils and food dyes are secretly microdosing GLP-1s.

If the CDC is no longer the reliable source of health guidance it once was, where can Americans turn to for trustworthy information? Yasmin Tayag reports:

Where to Find Reliable Health Information Without the CDC

No American institution is equipped to replace the agency. But a few trusted resources can help.

When a South African tells you, “Turn it off” they’re being very specific and not making a blithe suggestion. I get it now.

Hard predict— Succession planning is underway, Vance will come to power via a 25th Amendment vote of no confidence, and Rupert is orchestrating the entire thing. Watch for how many ‘Trimp is unstable’ articles are posted in the next 6 mo.

Trump Gets Rid of Those Pesky Statistics

The numbers were simply not patriotic enough.
