I decided to introduce the kiddo to beatboxing, so I went to my nearest NewPipe app and did a search. This wasn't the top result, but judging the videos purely by their thumbnails, it's the one I clicked on. I'm glad I did. It's pretty amazing. "Dopamine" by WING:

The Trump administration is actively censoring the White House press pool, @mmasnick writes for Techdirt.

"On Tuesday, the White House effectively eliminated the Associated Press from the White House press pool, changing the rules to basically bar the wire service entirely. This is even after (or perhaps in response to) a Trump-appointed judge ruling that the White House was clearly violating the First Amendment in excluding the AP from various press conferences. This isn’t a huge surprise, because last week there were reports that the White House was still excluding AP reporters… and then directly censoring press pool reports that mentioned this and other embarrassing facts."

"Last week, Oliver Darcy was the first to call out two troubling developments related to this: First, the White House was ignoring the ruling and still blocking the AP from certain access. Indeed, what Darcy had found is that the pool reporter on duty, Joseph Morton, the Washington correspondent for The Dallas Morning News, had written in the pool report the following:"

“A reporter and photographer with The Associated Press were turned away from joining the pool.”

"So why are we hearing this from Darcy instead of Morton?"

"Well, that’s the second discovery that Darcy reported on. The White House is now directly censoring White House press pool reports:"

"It was likely that sentence, which came after a judge had ordered the administration to restore the AP’s access, that irked the White House. That specific pool report from Morton, I’ve learned, was never distributed by the White House to news outlets subscribed to its pool report mailing list — a notable omission and a clear break from precedent."

"It also wasn’t the first time this week that the White House chose to censor the pool. On Monday, Philip Wegmann, a reporter for RealClearPolitics, filed a pool report noting that a scheduled press conference between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been “cancelled” and was “no longer taking place.” That report, too, was never sent out by the White House."

Thousands return to Portland as part of another day of rallies across Maine

Maine Public | By Nicole Ogrysko
Published April 19, 2025 at 5:15 PM EDT

"Thousands of people gathered in Monument Square in Portland Saturday to protest what they say are threats to democracy, human rights and the U.S. Constitution from the Trump administration.

"The rally was one of many that took place in more than a dozen towns across Maine and organized as part of a national day of action by groups across the state."

Asking for a little favor.

A few years ago -for obvious reasons- I deleted all my american services. (instagram, facebook etc)

The result was my business plummeting down, no projects came in anymore, making it nearly impossible to come around after 20 years of career.

The favor I'm asking is if you know someone who's working with illustrators, or even just interested, just share my stuff please. Thanks :)

NYC's IRT subway, opened in 1904, is powered by a 600 volt DC third rail running alongside the tracks. Power is fed to the system via a number of substations throughout the city, where high voltage AC is converted to the lower voltage DC used by trains.

Until recently, this was done with electromechanical rotary converters (essentially a combination AC motor and DC generator). They are now supplanted by solid state rectifiers, but a few of the original rotary converters remain operational.
