I've recently been impressed by the variety of artists on Bandcamp, from "Field Recorders Collective" mountain musicians to New England folk singer-songwriters, to world music from @PutumayoMusic -- and on Bandcamp Fridays the artists get paid more!
California Republican announces he's not going to read news reports about the debate and made up his response in advance. Then blames an intern for the 12-hour-early Twitter post. Will he change his strategy and actually read the news?
I haven’t seen much coverage of last night’s Vice-Presidential debate in the liberal media. This doesn’t really surprise me as JD Vance absolutely destroyed Walz. I don’t see how voters can vote for the Democrats after that debacle despite the biased moderators trying to help the…
Happy 100th birthday, President Carter! Thank you for your friendship, your fundamental decency, and your incredible acts of service through the @CarterCenter. Michelle and I are grateful for all you’ve done for this country.
Please forgive the enthusiastic amateurs or even pro journalists who use unfortunate phrases like "great ground video," when their pictures really do capture the devastation that has ruined buildings, roads, and taken many lives. This whole thread of photos tells the story.

I saw a transcript of this, but found it hard to imagine what the "performance" was like, or how an audience responded. "Economic Club of NY" is new to me, but the venue explains why "numbers" was a word in this connect-the-dots stream-of-babble.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump completely fails to understand the question he’s asked and rambles on incoherently. It’s clear Donald Trump has lost his mental capacity. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Trump is senile.

Has the New York Times seen my muttering about possibly abandoning Wordle? Requiring "z" in the Spelling Bee today was a challenging and amusing alternative. Apparently the word Zoot is not in the Bee's dictionary (without suit?), but I did okay. nytimes.com/badges/games/v…
FYI about @GovTimWalz, a hero to consumers and a champion of competitive market capitalism, not monopolists.
He signed the country’s most comprehensive Right-to-Repair law. These laws give consumers over where and how to repair their purchases (i.e. *their property*), reduce barriers to market entry, and promote competition and innovation. 2/8
BREAKING: Apple Store workers in Maryland have made history, securing the first-ever tentative union contract at the world's most valuable company. Under the agreement, the workers will win 10% raises, scheduling improvements, limits on contracted workers, and more.
