• Remembering The Who Bassist John Entwistle: 5 Isolated Tracks (Jam Base) All 5 videos are below, and "The Ox" is magnificent.
• Josseli Barnica Died in Texas After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care (ProPublica) Killing women is a feature, not a bug.
• Why ghosts wear clothes or white sheets instead of appearing in the nude (The Conversation) A number of theories, the most compelling one to me is that the presense of clothing allows one to determine the social status of the apparition.
• Shroud of Turin 'does not show face of Jesus' – in fact he never touched it says study (Daily Star) The short version is geometry.  A shroud draped over the face shows distortions, much in the same way that a Mercator projection map does.
• Mass production of genetically selected humans: inside a Pennsylvania pronatalist candidate’s fantasy city-state | US elections 2024 (The Guardian) I wrote about her and her husband Malcolm and Simone Collins in a blog post titled, Parents of the Corn. She also believes that poor people's votes should count less, and there have been 2 visits from CPS and a house full of guns.
• Insiders Speak Out on Fontana PD’s Culture of White Supremacy (The Intercept) The La Habra, California police chief is a white supremacist insurrections (He got 11 years for his role), most of his career was with the Fontana, California PD, which is a profoundly racist organization.
• Demonize the Rich (How Things Work) "Fascists offer a fake enemy. We have to offer a real one."
• Handbook For The Politically Deceased (The Lever) Short version, the problem is the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment).
• Democrats Need to Clean House Before They Screw Up Again (The New Republic) TNR has improved a lot since Marty Peretz was removed.  Money quote, "That’s why anyone who had a leadership role in this campaign should never be allowed within throwing distance of a political operation ever again. Any prominent Democrat who didn’t fight tooth and nail to recognize voter concerns and fix the party’s trajectory should be primaried. And any person who sighs and chalks this loss up solely to racism and misogyny should be ignored."
• X Is a White-Supremacist Site (The Atlantic) What?  You mean the take over of Twitter by that Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™ white supremacist resulted in white supremacy?  Hoocoodanode?

And on to the genius of John Entwhistle
