Living within walking distance of a public pool in NYC is one of the great perks of my neighborhood. Unfortunately since I moved here (2021), lifeguard shortages made lap swimming tricky. Glad to see things are finally back to normal.

Social Distortion’s new album, Born to Kill, sounds like it was made by a band in their 40s, not their 60s (except maybe one song). The title track is a banger, and there are two or three other hidden gems. Looking forward to seeing them with the Descendents in Brooklyn this September.

What kind of country just blows vessels out of the water, without any sort of due process for the people in those boats? I don't know if people appreciate how outrageous that is.

“It’s a country with no gold of its own—yet until recently, Switzerland refined nearly 70% of the world’s gold. That share may have dropped to around 50%, but it remains the global hub for gold refining. That alone raises serious questions.”
A Swiss gold refinery, which serves as a supplier to tech giants such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, received shipments of Venezuelan blood gold from Curaçao for years and processed them. armando.info/el-oro-de-gu...
