Happy 80, Johnny. I wrote this when we lost @JohnPrineMusic in 2020. He was the soundtrack to my New England childhood — from @Newportfolkfest to Cape Cod. Thank you for the souvenirs, John. They can’t be boughten. @FionaPrine capecodtimes.com/story/enter…

I was in Washington last week and had a chance to sit down with both Vincent Desharnais & Spencer Carbery and what we came back with were two great convos (neither because of me). Carbery is always guaranteed to be great and if you’ve never heard Desharnais (Seaweed Man) interviewed you are in for a treat. Here and wherever you get your podcasts. Enjoy! youtu.be/FOFec8I86lQ?is=IkKu…

It's official. The Montreal Canadiens are out of the playoffs and my favorite stat holds for another year. A U.S. team has won the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup (Baltimore Stallions, 1995) more recently than a Canadian team has won the NHL's Stanley Cup (Montreal, 1993).

We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: nj.com/sports/2026/05/the-sh…

“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen” “If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation” “If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry” “If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence” “If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases” The Trump administration wants you to believe their propaganda is fact, and control the majority of mainstream media and social platforms to reinforce their lies. This is what authoritarianism looks like.
The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda.” abcnews.link/A8W2vOT

If you see a helicopter towing one of these over your neighborhood, bad news: your town is getting a data center. They’re running airborne electromagnetic surveys to map groundwater in the area. TRANSLATION: figuring out how much water they can divert before people notice.

22,000 gallons of jet fuel leaked from Joint Base Andrews into a Potomac tributary sometime this spring. We still don’t know when it happened, or the extent of the damage. Internal docs show that the base knew there were problems and didn’t report them. notus.org/climate-environmen…

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

18 months ago, noted lefty rag The Economist had this cover. Cut to today and nearly 3/4 of households are struggling to buy basic necessities but I guess there was no choice, Joe Biden was boring and the $1 street vendor hot dogs went up to $1.50 in NYC 🙃

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.
