    Before you enjoy your patriotic feelings about the US on the 4th of July, listen to Prof Eddie Glaude explain what it has meant to Black people. #ChunderRoad https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/the-fantasy-of-america-at-250

    Wow, this seems like an even worse idea than the drone that flies around in your house listening to everything you say. #Privacy #AI https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/robot-training-startup-will-send-humans-wearing-cameras-to-clean-your-home/

    This is pretty neat. Wish I could&amp;#39;ve been there, a thing I seldom say about concerts by rock superstars. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/30/ringo-starr-embraces-and-transcends-time-and-nostalgia-at-rousing-san-diego-concert/

    Wait a minute: if Ka$h is polygraphing his staff to find out who leaked about his excessive drinking, it must be true that he drinks to excess, right? https://www.ms.now/news/kash-patel-ordered-polygraphs-of-more-than-two-dozen-members-of-his-team-sources-tell-ms-now

    Laura Poitras has a documentary about Seymour Hersh on Netflix called &quot;Cover-Up.&quot; I can&#39;t recommend it enough.

    Heck of an essay about Robert Mueller. https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/remembering-robert-mueller?utm_source=www.doomsdayscenario.co&amp;amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;amp;utm_campaign=remembering-robert-mueller&amp;amp;_bhlid=ed9090b4a2e40b5ae9f5a2d20f7b5e8ce3f0efb6

    RE: https://theforkiverse.com/@gryffud/116274205888552872 As Paula Poundstone put it, your cat sees you in the shower and wonders why you&amp;#39;re not trying to escape.

    This guy was standing by himself on #MarineStreetBeach this morning. I got as close as I dared, not wanting to scare either one of us if he were wounded. When I came back up the beach a few minutes later he was flying a bit, so okay I guess. Another peli was floating out in the water, maybe a companion or mate.

    What are the odds that the &amp;quot;senior Trump official&amp;quot; is one J D Vance?

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press/116223718340027628 You can make people live in the close confines of warships for 6-9 months, but it isn&amp;#39;t really a good idea; their effectiveness decreases. But a whole brigade of infantrymen on three ships can&amp;#39;t sit there for too long, or bad things will happen.

    Those of us who treasure our Scion xBs harbor deep regrets that Toyota never saw fit to import a vehicle with an ad as wacky and great as this (from TheAutopian.com) #chunderroad #oddballcars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSIjHr-eJxc&amp;amp;t=3s

    I sure would like to see #BigBoy4014 on its USA 250th anniversary run, but it&amp;#39;s not really going anyplace I&amp;#39;m ever likely to go. #ChunderRoad https://www.up.com/about-us/history/steam/schedule
