"This is an important thing to think about."

Wise words.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief.
They thanked him for being a voice for peace.
Meanwhile silence from the White House.
But there is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Philanthropist Connie Ballmer. Somehow @the-independent.com, forgot to mention her name.

Barcelona street graffiti of Statue of Liberty with a skull painted over her face

Seen in Barcelona

Also, if you traveled around Latin America during the 70’s and 80’s, specifically on the walls of the Universities, you could find graffiti exposing American imperialism in one way or the other.
In Barcelona their citizens understand the horror of fascism. As opposed to many in Madrid.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

The Strokes, amazing band.
They are from NY.

Damn. 😕🇺🇸

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.

The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.

Happy

Photo shows a heap of older style phones with the text “Planned obsolescence is now outlawed in France. It is a crime to intentionally reduce the lifespan of a product to force customers to replace it.”

Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310

I’ve had the good fortune to meet & talk with TIM CURRY — 80 Candles 🎂 today — a good few times over the years, and I can tell you that whatever you would’ve hoped him to be in real life, he truly is: charming, ribald, very funny, witty as f**k, larger than life, & just lovely.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news.

Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.

The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.

Whistleblower Explains How Cambridge Analytica Helped Fuel U.S. 'Insurgency' In 2014, Christopher Wylie resigned from his position as Cambridge Analytica's research director. He later exposed the company's role in the Trump presidential campaign and the Brexit referendum.

This interview still FLOORS me. Then Facebook partnered w/ Cambridge Analytica (under Bannon) to socially engineer the 2016 election by targeting/radicalizing white ppl into what’s now MAGA, it’s chilling AF. We would not be here w/o Meta! Need a deep dive piece that puts all the atrocities together

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick | The State of U.S. Immigration Policies and Practices Today Join St. John’s on Sunday, April 19, 2026 as we welcome Aaron Reichlin-Melnick.

For any DC folks interested, I'm going to be speaking at St. John's Church on Lafayette Square this Sunday. My goal, if I can manage it, will be to give an overview of what's happened in the last year with immigration, putting it in historical context, and arguing why it should matter to all of us.
