Electric Company taught me to read when we got back from Spain (where my Dad was stationed) in 1973. Always donate to my local PBS stations.

The Love I Lost was supposed to be a ballad follow up to If You Don’t Know Me by Now. Then someone got the idea to do a fast take. Earl Palmers hi hats became the blueprint for every Disco single from that point on. This is the first true Disco record on #AT40

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

But, like, New America wouldn't make any sense because this is still the original America and... You know what, forget it

crazy to me that inflation has risen faster than wage growth and the GOP's criticism of talarico is that he might be secretly vegan

Fascinating Sotomayor + Gorsuch statement yesterday respecting the denial of cert in a case in which a man was arrested and convicted of being present in the US after illegal reentry, put on supervised release and ordered not to leave the state, then arrested and convicted AGAIN of the same offense.

It does appear the "data center eliminated Nazi and otherwise fuckface bots" narrative is basically wishcasting, it does show you how popular getting rid of this shit would broadly be, and that maybe a smart person should run on it.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

They really should have saved 11-13-76 #AT40 for the 11-14-26 broadcast. 50 years! I’d miss it though because we we will be at the airport coming back from celebrating my wife’s birthday in New Orleans.

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...
