Screen grab of Ms.Now calling the Virginia redistricting referendum for the YES side shows Ali Velshi in his best next to a map of VA showing 50.28% for YES.
“Find Out” narrowly wins Virginia referendum.
Welcome to the Summer of Chaff.
That’s my theory, anyway. Not that the SPLC indictment doesn’t also fall into the “retribution” category & the “racism” category, but I expect that as the midterms grow ever closer, Trump & his GOP will cough up all kinds of countermeasures, distractions & disinfo.
_Trump Extends Cease-fire With Iran_
Oil futures were up just enough for Trump & Co. to cash in… or cash out.
Those dates are so telling.
And they’re telling a story it seems so very few want to hear.
I think about and mention that statement often. I have the need to think about and mention that statement too often.

Stay up-to-date on all your vaccines. For Covid, that likely means at least 2x/year.
Wear a quality mask/respirator when indoors in public.
Test if you think you’ve been exposed or feel ill. Stay home if you’re sick.
Use air filters at home and lobby for clean air standards at work & in schools.
My edgy Covid take: The Pandemic isn’t over. 100s to 1000s in the US still die every week from this virus. 1000s more will join the millions who must navigate life w/ Long Covid—w/ no standardized treatments yet available. There are simple things we all can do to help drive those grim numbers down….
Tried again to pitch a corruption beat in 2018; eds still told me “I don’t see it.”
Some may call it corruption or incompetence or mafia behavior, but all are trying to say “the system is broken; it only works for the wealthy—not for me.”
Dems need to show they get this AND prove they’ll fix it.
Corruption.
When voters seemed to vibe with Trump’s “drain the swamp,” this is what they were trying to say.
I tried to explain this in 2015, but folks didn’t want to hear it because Dems were in power & they expected they’d stay in power.
🎯 IT’S THE CORRUPTION STUPID
Is it a conspiracy theory if you 100% believe in it, or is it just the truth everyone else refuses to see?
Oh, it goes beyond that…. MJ’s gambling might have played a role in his father’s murder and even more likely in his baseball hiatus. I’ve heard the NBA told him to “take a little break” until things cooled down.
When Trump says "Women and children first," it's about who he is TOSSING OUT of the lifeboats.
Effing nailed it.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that if you ever cashed a paycheck from Steve Cohen, you are cursed.
This article says absolutely nothing about who is representing Kash Patel in his suit against The Atlantic, nor does it say who is paying for it.
In NYC, it’s legal to smoke cannabis anywhere it’s legal to smoke tobacco. Smoking is NOT allowed inside Washington Sq Park—yet I’ve never seen cops enforcing that ban on a cigarette smoker.
To underscore this, NYPD Dep Insp Nicholas Minor chomped on a cigar as he commanded police in the park.
Quake upgraded to M7.5. Waves of 40cm-80cm have started to reach the coast, but warnings remain for tsunami up to 3m.
TEPCO says no abnormal readings around Fukushima Daini—I have not seen any reports on the crippled Daiichi complex.
Putting a pin in this.
“Tokyo Electric Power Company says that it's checking to see if the quake has caused any problems at its Fukushima Daiichi & Daini nuclear power plants.”
Tohoku Electric is performing similar checks at Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi & Higashidori nuclear plant in Aomori.
Wave approaching Iwate prefecture. Quake was about an hour ago, tsunami expected to hit in moments, some reports say as high as 3 meters.
All yesterday, I kept thinking: the world keeps trying to give the US off-ramps in Iran, and Trump & co. keeps almost quite literally blowing them up—DJTJ or Whisky Pete must have placed a bet on a prediction market or purchased more oil futures… aaaaand scene.
Très dramatique! I have a few covers, but had not heard that version—thank you!
I suppose you are familiar with Twinkle? She’s no France Gall, but I like this version:
Moi aussi! I used to have an annual “ooh la la” party just to provide an excuse to accumulate and play more & more French pop. I have so much of it now, that party could go for a week!
Yes. Agreed… if we could count on machine learning to continue to be developed and deployed for this purpose and not see all those dollars poured into making LLMs profitable as consumer products or military contracts.
