Will the last one out please snuff out the candles?

I, for one, would have liked her better if she had been.

This is a very good resource. I don't know how @taniel.bsky.social does this but he makes highly technical stuff like this very easy to follow and use:

Marvin Gaye - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) [playlist-friendly] YouTube video by Pete Falco

Over 50 years later, Marvin Gaye’s 1971“Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” was one of the first mainstream songs to directly address environmental pollution and ecological destruction. The song laments oil spills, radiation, and toxic waste & was revolutionary at the time. #Earthday

"Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day."

Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now

News accounts are straining to portray the Virginia move as a betrayal of Dems' principled opposition to gerrymandering.
