Regarding the Johnstown Flood. Here's a good piece from Heather Cox Richardson https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-30-2026

At some of us who know still can't pronounce it

The Evans (I'm still going to call it the North) has never been as busy as the Mac. I haven't spent time there since pre pandemic. I was with the Ambassador Program, I not sure it's still in existence

Straight out of Central Casting...

Isn't this like the second time in recent months someone has slammed into one of DTW's Terminals?

It just seems that the whole vibe this year is meh. Looking from the outside from about 3 years or so ago the individual state committees, outside a few like Virginia and maybe Pennsylvania and Massachusetts nobody seems to know how to tie their story into the history of founding of the nation. Both the good and the ugly That plus SemiQuince Centennial is a weird word. If nothing else living where do for the past half dozen years has given me a bit of perspective on history. Especially since CW is also celebrating its Centennial year,

Soon it's going to be down to Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Kash Patel's girlfriend...

How does JD Vance feel about this?

At least two artists advertised have pulled out of the event Morris Day and Young MC. Evidently the talent buyer initially lied to them about the event backing. Imagine that something connected to Trump being lined with myriad lies https://variety.com/2026/music/news/young-mc-exits-freedom-250-morris-day-trump-concerts-1236760836/

Good article from JV Last.... https://www.thebulwark.com/p/very-low-iq-trump-too-stoopid-to?utm_source=substack&publication_id=87281&post_id=199353022&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=false&r=45wcm&triedRedirect=true Bottom line, we're getting our butts kicked basically because Trump and company are fighting the last war

Seems to fit the MAGA profile..

I find it interesting that PBS decided to move its annual July 4th concert and programing to Colonial Williamsburg this year rather than the traditional programing on the National Mall.
