RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

Anyone using macOS Tahoe, you can fix the hideous window corners with a simple Terminal command. Golden Gate goes a long way to reducing the window corners anyway, but the Terminal commands work in that too. I've just set mine to 5 and they look great. www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comm...

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

NEWS --> Dem can redraw anywhere from 10 to 22 additional House seats for the party in time for the 2028 elections if they aggressively redistrict in 7 key states, a new Fair Fight Action analysis finds. This would neutralize GOP's post-SCOTUS advantage. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2098...

NEW: Now that the Supreme Court has rendered the last remaining pillar of the VRA toothless, Republicans in eight states are free to gerrymander more than a dozen congressional districts that had been designed to remedy discrimination against Black and Latino voters. We catalog them all here -->

I realized two things yesterday. 1. For years, I didn't care at all about anything associated with rockets and going to space. 2. That's not right. I had just gotten sick to death of shitty billionaires and their performative expressions of wealth. I never stopped loving NASA and its mission.

I guess Russia sent some pretty advanced weaponry to Iran.

🚨 🚨 ABC News confirms that Iran used advanced, passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15E fighter jet. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. As a result, it cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems. That leaves our aircraft vulnerable.

Dr. Dan Edney, Trump's potential pick to lead CDC, on race & health disparities: “I am...recovering from implicit bias, in the midst of structural racism. ... And I plan to leverage my recovery in this way to change the system, because if we don’t, our mothers and our babies will continue to die.”

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"

Two things here. One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well. Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Good!

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
