I like @profgalloway.com idea to reform the US federal tax code to not allow someone like Bezos or Zuckerberg to realise capital gains in a low tax state when they grew their fortunes in a state with higher taxes with better infrastructure to support their businesses.

New data reveals that enrollment in California's state Medicaid program is plummeting as Trump's big ugly cuts take effect. But there's a way to reverse this trend: pass a one-time, 5% tax on California's billionaires.

I always think of this song when I hear Carly Simon's name, and it seems a little poignant right now with this news. I was 4 or 5 when this came out and my mom really liked it, so even if it didn't age well, I'll always like it and find it comforting. music.youtube.com/watch?v=0cSy...

Carly Simon, 83, has announced that she's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. While "hibernating" amid her health struggles, which also included surgery for basal cell carcinoma, she worked on new music. Her new album "Comes in Waves," is set for release in August. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

A banner day for Canada 🇨🇦 at the Commonwealth Games with 12 medals won on Day — including four gold medals. There were so many inspired performances by Canadians in Glasgow. And they’re back in action tomorrow looking for more. Resting up for now. Good night sports fans.

idk that third paragraph really makes it seem like this is just another bullshit pressure tactic by Meta to try to get out of obeying the law that was democratically passed by the government of Canada.

Patrick, it would be my absolute pleasure. This is from my friend @midevenings.bsky.social's talk show, "Midevenings with Jay Miller," and I don't think it's an overstatement to say that it is one of my favorite things that exists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYp0...

@carleycarden.bsky.social I've been giving it a lot of thought and I've decided. Hawks are going to be a scary good team this year, they're going to be a nightmare for everyone in the East and I'm betting when they and Charlotte play each other it'll easily be the best game of that night.

I know the Beaches are blowing up over their last 2 albums which are more ballad less rock, but to my mind this is still one of the best rock songs of the last 20 years, maybe more. Just freaking fun! Hope they play this at George Street Festival! youtu.be/O8RgiH8rfOY?...

I don't have one Raptors based podcast in my feed talking about LJ to Sixers and it's implications. Outside of @justesbaraheni.bsky.social who had to do one for the athletic, if you don't have content on this by late Saturday, I guess you're not serious about making content for a living.

@balrogdointerior.bsky.social really enjoyed the music posts. Never listened to that Crosby Stills Nash and Young number. Thanks!

I'm just so very angry. I'm in the market for a new computer and phone, I don't spend a ton of money on myself, have a decent income, and these fucking devices are just too expensive. I'm angry and I'll vote for anyone who hurts Tech oligopolies starting with Google. Regulate and break up.

I'm not positive it's the right answer, but the *immediate* answer my mind produced was, "Hey, remember the time you walked out of the Hugh Grant mob comedy 'Mickey Blue Eyes?'"

Last night, the Knicks won the 2026 ESPY for the Best Team of the Year. But were they the best *Knicks team* ever? I wrote about that last month, with help from Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Walt "Clyde" Frazier, analytics and history books. yhoo.it/3Q3GrtS

Best Knicks team ever? With franchise's first NBA championship in 53 years, these Knicks are building their case

How does this Knicks team stack up with the great New York squads of the past?

I love great original voice actors, but one thing I always think of when I hear them do those voices outside of the studio, regardless of how good they sound, is man those audio engineers are half the performance.

The sense of Leonard to the Raptors is when rather than if but until it's done, it's not done. Summer League tidbits are here www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...

He's the excellent role player, perennial starter we need. He'll make over $200 million easy playing with the Raptors as long as he knows his role, can shoot the 3, and keeps playing smart. Hopeful he'll be running with Scottie putting up wins for years to come!

Super surprised that Graves had only 9 points last night. Thought he had more impact than that on the floor.
