The Odyssey was worth the ticket price albeit some of the dialogue combined with the scenery was an extended version of a Calvin Klein commercial 😅.
Monet created 108 pastels, often gifted to friends or sold cheaply—revealing a softer, sketch-like side of the master. They remind us Monet wasn’t only a maker of grand masterpieces, but also an artist of unrehearsed creativity.
Most of all, Lindsey Graham should be remembered as a passionate defender of rapists.
The Stones release “Honky Tonk Women” 57 years ago today — a country/western vibe inspired by the cowboys who worked at the Brazilian ranch where Jagger and Richards were vacationing. Richards said it was “one of those tracks that you knew was a #1 before you’d finished the mother—er.” 🔥
Pearl Jam’s “Alive” turns 35 today. “The original story being told in the song is that of a young man being made aware of some shocking truths,” said Vedder. But after years of audiences singing “I’m still alive .. it’s like they’re celebrating .. They changed the meaning .. They lifted the curse.”

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed. It's a MAGA nullification movement. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2114...
Deep in Rural Virginia, a MAGA Pro-Gun Push Takes an Unnerving Turn
Governor Spanberger signed an assault weapons ban. Some county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas say they won’t enforce it. Is a new MAGA nullification movement brewing?

If local officials can simply decide which laws they will and won’t enforce based on politics, then what exactly is the point of passing laws in the first place? MAGA spent years demanding “law and order.” Apparently that only applies when they agree with the outcome.

It mightn't look like much. But this little red dot is a supermassive black hole about 50 million times more massive than the Sun, its light dating to just 700 million years after the Big Bang—when the Universe was just 5% its current age. It is insane to me that we can see this far back.
It's just getting started. I've predicted the restaurant industry is going to be in for a huge hit. Inflation hitting costs and consumers, tariffs, deportation of labor, and energy prices are going to impact the industry like never before. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: magnificent_foster_dogs)
