Netanyahu won the Middle East and lost the world ❝ Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazan Palestinians see it. The world now sees Israel as a brutal aggressor. ❞ — Ezra Klein @nytopinion.nytimes.com

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

1960, Chiswick, London, 15-year-old John Entwistle with his first bass guitar. Unable to afford the Fender Precision model he craved, he bought a slab of mahogany &, with the help of local carpenter, fashioned his own. According to Roger Daltrey it was 'pinkish' & looked like a football boot

Howlin' Wolf - The Rocking Chair album. It's a Chess reissue in a gatefold format - minor gripe: surely there's enough room in that format to list all the musicians used in the recordings. #nowspinning #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity

I would recommend not engaging with anyone arguing the “trains are 200 year-old technology; we have planes and cars” position. (Both of which are more than a century old) They don’t want a reasonable debate. We will not persuade them. We only give them more engagement, audience & credibility.

How about the city ban cars and trucks for a day or two to help alleviate the impact of driving on the air quality? Let's take this seriously for once.

A great shot of JOAN FONTAINE — born 109yrs ago today — at the 1942 Academy Awards gazing at her Best Actress Oscar for ‘Suspicion’ — an achievement that made her, incredibly, the only actor or actress ever to win an Oscar for a performance in an Alfred Hitchcock film.

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

I went with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social yesterday to the Trump-Epstein Reading Room in Detroit, a traveling exhibit which displays all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files. I’m so grateful for the hard work to make this exhibit happen.

Noooo. I would have never guessed

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. The Pentagon denied us access to take photos, but we obtained some anyway. A story in global affairs: wapo.st/3WF2YQo
