What kind of asshole throws his son’s little dog in the dumpster? I called it in and he’s now in jail, on felony charges I hope.
She’s lucky I went to the store when I did. She was laying on some thorn tree branches when I found her.
I hope the judge he draws is a dog dad. 🤬

Not looking forward to trillions 😲
US braces for cicadas by the trillion as two broods of periodic insects coincide
The last time Brood XIX and Brood XII emerged from underground at the same time, Thomas Jefferson was president
The emergence will occur in spring, as early as this month in some places, and will see trillions of cicadas pop up in as many as 16 states, from Maryland to Oklahoma and from Illinois to Alabama.

And as Tomasky points out…prezzes (R and D) in the past used to not be afraid of cutting off aid if the Israelis got out of line…
Okay —
So here’s (most of) Tomasky’s “Biden On Israel” column in TNR. Paywall got me on the laptop but not the iPhone…yet.

I keep meaning to track down a copy of this as it has good reviews and sounds hilarious.

Thank you Librarians and Library Workers
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
📖📖📖📖
From April 7–13, communities across the U.S. will come together for National Library Week, the annual celebration of libraries and library workers. This year's theme, "Ready, Set, Library!" is more than just a catchy phrase—it's a call to action for Americans to rediscover the treasure trove of opportunities libraries offer.

As you (the proverbial "you," and/or a typical Crim fan lol) might expect, the supergroup will be playing tunes from "Discipline," "Beat," and "Three Of A Perfect Pair."
So the set list might look something like this from Montreal '84 --
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nvtvDPA3fItkf6J1BxDqoO8dZs8aSggoM&si=sR_phODc9Aprf606
Along those lines...
Here are the tour dates (US/CAN only) for Beat, the King Crimson splinter group (and Fripp-approved, for whatever that's worth, heh) with Belew, Levin, Vai, and Danny Carey.
Maybe The Egg, for me. I caught the double trio formation in '95 and don't know if I feel like watching Vai strutting and licking his way thru KC tunes for a couple of hours. Opinion subject to change, of course. 😆
For those curious about the APC/Puscifer/Primus tour is going...this is how it went at Boston's Wang Theater...
(No, that's really what it's called -- I saw Nick Cave there a few years back and the seats killed my butt. True story.)

from Rex Headroom @Maltaplication
Judge Cannon proves every day why she is the only Judge in all of Trump’s civil and criminal cases to never be the target of Trump’s daily vitriol. Not her. Not her family. Not her clerks.
Think about that.
