Music->Rock/Classical/Jazz! Books, democracy, astronomy, film, history, and let’s toss in a side order of archeology too. Definitely dogs. And nature.

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds

Kind of like shutting down a well practiced emergency plan prior to a pandemic happening.
Also, just ahead of hurricane season, the head of the FEMA rescinded the agency’s strategic plan, which includes a document that guides agency priorities when responding to disasters, WIRED learned.
FEMA Has Canceled Its 4-Year Strategic Plan Ahead of Hurricane Season
Multiple FEMA employees tell WIRED that they did not know of another time when a strategic plan was rescinded without another in place.

I adore his solo work. I think he became an even better songwriter after he sprung loose from the unintended trap he laid himself w Dire Straits. Folk, blues, dashes of Celtic & country are the musical roads he travels in his storytelling. ❤️

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

I agree 100%. And I highly recommend Radio Paradise. A streaming radio that is programmed by actual people. They have a few streams with different kinds of selections but I've listened to them for a decade or more, and it's so nice to know there's a human being behind it. radioparadise.com/home
