Woody Guthrie’s family tells Josh Hawley to stop using his song “This Land is Your Land”.
I wish the Guthrie family could legally do something about it. Hawley is such a freaking weasel…
"could legally do something….." depends on who owns the rights to the song.
At least as of 2020, rights were privately held by "copyright owners the Richmond Organization and its Ludlow Music subsidiary," per the NYT. I was curious before today whether it was public domain, which would actually sort of make sense to me because it's such a standard, but it doesn't seem to be.
Asking for forgiveness in advance if the status has changed since 2020.
Is that you, skinny? 😋
#HappyPiDay
And at 1:59:26 today it was pi minute
I'm thinking about making a one-crust galette after dinner, Michael. And I'd love to have those cookie cutters.

Nice picture.
It should be called first three digits of pi day.
Because pi is infinite, every day is pi day (and every minute is pi minute).
CoPo is reporting that a bullet was fired into the home of state Sen. Rhonda Fields. This sucks. Nothing in this story suggests who did it or might have done it, so I'll withhold too much negativity beyond "this sucks." But it sucks. The trouble that must be in her head already should've been plenty for one lifetime.
Channel 9's got it. No other media seem to, yet: https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/bullet-hits-colorado-senators-window-aurora-rhonda-fields/73-5fcb04bf-50d2-4a48-a8e0-a73980c96abb
9's story is from the Denver Gazette, the same story that showed up on Colorado Politics.
Case in point …
Since 1920 … the vast increase in the share of wealth grabbed [and sometimes even "earned"] by the upper class (however defined) is a threat to democracy.
If we let the rich dominate political contests by their own runs for elected office, their campaign donations, their virtually unlimited PAC and super-PAC spending, and their ability to creative re-employment avenues cycling people between office, lobbying, think tanks, foundations and other nonprofit organizations, and sinecures on corporate boards, there will be major barriers to political advocacy, development of a common good in a wide variety of policy areas, and adequate care given to "the least of these" in our society.
