Paul Krugman says he's feeling 'more positive than I expected to be' about the economy
As the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic continues, Paul Krugman says he's feeling "more positive than I expected to be" about the recovery. The economist and New York Times writer spoke in an interview with Bloomberg about the state of the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus pandemic, cautioning that the crisis should not be looked at as "a garden-variety recession" instead of a "shutdown enforced by social distancing." Asked how long the economic fallout might last, Krugman explained that looking at past recessions, "until now we've had two kinds: 1979-82-type slumps basically caused by tight money and the 2007-09 type caused by private-sector overreach. The first kind was followed by V-shaped 'morning in America' recoveries; the second by sluggish recoveries that took a long time to restore full employment." Krugman argues that the current crisis is "more like 1979-82 than 2007-09," not being caused "by imbalances that will take years to correct," which suggests a "fast recovery" once the…

Constitution not a suicide pact, allowing us to ignore duties
In 1949, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson asserted that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” His perspective reflected concerns of government officials throughout American history. The gist of his statement is that our constitutional protections often conflict and require balance in favor of healthy, non-violent existence; in giving priority to a greater constitutional good. No rights are absolute, let alone all of the time. I believe Justice Jackson’s statement goes to the heart of our conflict between government protection from Covid-19, an extremely dangerous virus, and people who claim that government enforcement of those same protections violates a constitutional right. These people use the “right” to justify ignoring the science that guides government protections.

Spotify Finally Allows You to Add as Many Songs to Your Library as You Want
Long before Spotify was a thing, I collected music on my computer during my college days. That collection, which had everything from Cradle of Filth to Dashboard Confessional, to Reverend Horton Heat, easily surpassed 10,000 songs by the end of my first semester as a freshman. By the time I graduated, I had close to 40,000 songs, which are still on that old external hard drive. I definitely had to spend a lot of money on the requisite hardware, but now that we’ve been able to stream music to our phones for a while, there’s no such thing as limits—at least that’s how it’s often felt. But Spotify has capped the number of items you can add to your library for a long time. On Tuesday, the music streaming service announced that it’s stepping into the limitless present and trashing that archaic 10,000 song restriction.

Why the Cummings crisis is now all about how Johnson governs
Danny Kruger, the young Tory MP who is an old friend of Dominic Cummings and his spouse, got it right last night.

Kruger argued that attacks on Cummings are attacks on Boris Johnson, because the PM has so conspicuously become Cummings’s human shield. So as another Tory MP told me - a grandee no less - this is now all about the PM himself and how he governs. It is about why Boris Johnson rates Cummings so highly, and why he needs him at the centre of his government.

In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. *** The J. Geils Band – "Centerfold" HIT #1: February 6, 1982 STAYED AT #1: 6 weeks The party band is a rich and noble tradition. The party band's story usually goes something like this: A bunch of college buddies get together to play fun, uptempo R&B covers at local frats and dive bars. If they're good enough, maybe they'll eventually hit the local club circuit. If they're really good, maybe they'll sign to a label, put out a couple of records, open for a bigger band on tour. Usually, that's the absolute ceiling. The party band isn't supposed to become a significant artistic or commercial force. If that's what they'd wanted to be, they would've stopped being a party band. But every once in a long while, you will find a party band that takes off while still remaining a party band. Every once in a long

Real Estate – “Name” (Goo Goo Dolls Cover)
If your song was on MTV in the fall of 1995, I thought it was cool by default. I had just entered sixth grade, and after years of being restricted to VH1 only, my parents were now allowing me to watch the edgier Music Television as well. Thus, my routine upon returning home from school consisted of watching music videos or heading to the basement to practice playing guitar. These activities overlapped. I spent a lot of time trying to learn the alt-rock hits that were in heavy rotation on the Totally Pauly video block, stuff by Bush and Everclear and Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins. One I could never quite figure out was Goo Goo Dolls' "Name," which, as I later learned, was in an alternate tuning. Real Estate figured it out! In a SiriusXM session promoting their new album The Main Thing, the pastoral indie janglers covered "Name," which is probably one of the best songs ever out of Buffalo and definitely one of the best songs ever about former MTV VJ Kennedy.

NASA and SpaceX's launch was postponed, but at least we got to see their wildly corny spacesuits
The much-heralded joint launch between NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX was postponed on Wednesday due to light rain in Florida. It was a disappointing anticlimax for the first manned space launch from American soil since 2011 — all systems were "go" just an hour before astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley were scheduled for 4:33 p.m. liftoff — but there was a silver lining to the clouds above Cape Canaveral: the world got to see, for the first time, NASA and SpaceX's alarmingly cheesy spacesuits, which looked something like man-sized Mentos dispensers topped off with garden galoshes. While many on Twitter hailed the gear as looking "soo cool" and "so f—ing dope," the correct reaction came from one commenter who said the suits "make [the astronauts] look like stunt extras in a low budget space movie." Whether or not Behnken and Hurley find themselves menaced by rubbery Venus ghouls in some misbegotten Roger Corman epic, the suits might lead to an even graver danger: not being able to extract their heads from…

Cruise ship study suggests asymptomatic Covid-19 may be more common than thought

More than 80% of the passengers and crew on the unnamed cruise ship who tested positive for Covid-19 were asymptomatic. The prevalence of the virus on affected cruise ships is therefore likely to be “significantly underestimated”, the study published in the journal Thorax concludes. “Strategies are needed to assess and monitor all passengers to prevent community transmission after disembarkation,” the Australia-based researchers said.

Floyd didn't finish college; instead, he returned to Houston and started making music under the name Big Floyd. In the '90s, Floyd rapped on

Widowspeak – “Breadwinner”
Last we heard from Widowspeak, they were covering Neil Young in the wake of their 2017 album Expect The Best. Today the earthy yet celestial Brooklyn band is back with "Breadwinner," their first new song in three years. On Twitter, they explain that "it is a song about work. and there is a video, too, which we made at home." "Baby, you gotta quit that job 'cause your boss is a jerk," Molly Hamilton sings. "Go on and take the time off, and I’ll do the work." That's how it starts. It ends with this lament about capitalism that, like many lyrics, just hits different in pandemic times: "Is this how you measure time? Vacations you can’t take/ Is this how you count the hours? The ones when you’re awake/ O, met a man who never worked/ O, you and I will always work." It's as spare and breathy and beautiful as anything they've released, and it's matched with homemade footage that, of course, includes rising dough. Watch below. https://youtu.be/-iD-ANiPhzA "Breadwinner" is out now on Captured

Climate Targets and Industry Participation in the Recovery
By Henrik Poulsen, Mads Nipper, and Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen COPENHAGEN – The COVID-19 pandemic must not lead governments to lower their climate ambitions. Accelerating the transition to a low-carbon sustainable economy can both drive the recovery and build resilience for the future. Other countries could look to Denmark for inspiration on climate initiatives that will also contribute to economic recovery. The country is currently taking real action to achieve its target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by 2030 and reaching zero net emissions by 2050. As the CEOs of Danish corporations with a global presence in renewable energy, water technology, and pharmaceuticals, respectively, we have been appointed by the Danish government to chair public-private “climate partnerships” created to pursue climate-policy goals.

"No reasonable person can assert today that Hong Kong maintains a high degree of autonomy from China, given facts on the ground," Pompeo said in a Wednesday statement.

"While the United States once hoped that free and prosperous Hong Kong would provide a model for authoritarian China, it is now clear that China is modeling Hong Kong after itself," Pompeo said. America's economic and trade relationship with Hong Kong is separate of that with China, largely exempting Hong Kong from the tariff war between the two nations.

And if I do a super-duper, higher, better, better security, everything else, maybe it goes a little bit more.”

Russian jets swarm western Idlib as Syrian Army troops strike jihadist positions
BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – The Russian Air Force was seen all over the western countryside of the Idlib Governorate on Wednesday, as their jets buzzed areas like Jisr al-Shughour along the Turkish border. According to a field report from the Idlib Governorate, the Russian Air Force was flying over areas under the control of the hardline militant groups like the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), and Hurras Al-Deen. Some opposition activists claimed that the Russian Air Force launched airstrikes; however, a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) source said there were no recorded attacks. At the same time, the Syrian Arab Army launched their own attack over the Idlib countryside, targeting the movements of the jihadist rebels and Turkish-backed groups. The Syrian Arab Army reportedly targeted several areas around the southern countryside of Idlib, including the militant gathering points at the town of Al-Bara’a, which is just north of Kafr Nabl.

A Norfolk newborn becomes first baby in the world to get cannabis-based medicine to stop seizures
A Norfolk newborn has become the first in the world to be given a cannabis-derived medicine as part of a new clinical trial to help infants born with a condition that can lead to brain damage. Oscar Parodi was born at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which is a lack of oxygen or blood flow from the placenta to the baby. He received cooling treatment, as is standard for infants born with HIE, but his mother also agreed for him to be given a dose of the study's cannabis-based drug as well. The drug is already being used to help treat children with rare forms of epilepsy, and this is the first time it has been used to try to prevent seizures in a baby with HIE. Researchers on the study, led by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London, hope the drug could one day be used routinely in neonatal care to help babies at risk of seizures and brain injury. The trial is looking to see if the medicine is safe and effective in lessening the degree of brain…

Skullcrusher – “Day Of Show”
You probably expect an artist named Skullcrusher to sound a certain way. Skullcrusher does not sound that way. Instead, Skullcrusher is the project of LA-based singer-songwriter Helen Ballentine, who uses that extremely metal moniker to record delicate, lovely guitar music. We've already heard one song from her upcoming self-titled debut EP, "Places/Plans," and now she's shared another, "Day Of Show," which adds washes of ambient synth to the hazy mix. "I wrote ‘Day of Show’ on a hot day last summer in my roommate’s bedroom because mine didn’t have AC," Ballentine explains. “I felt dazed and restless from sitting around in the heat all day. It is a song about feeling trapped in yourself, unable to help yourself and reluctant to let others in. It explores the fragmented behavior and thoughts that arise from this feeling: a kind of daydreaming that can be really creative but also the darkness that also exists there. It’s musically inspired by a lot of the shoegaze music I listen to.”

In 2016, the legendary British folk musician Shirley Collins re-emerged to release her first new album in 38 years, Lodestar. We won't have to wait nearly so long for the next one.

The first song she's sharing from it is "Wondrous Love," her rendition of the 19th century hymn "What Wondrous Love Is This," whose melody is in turn based on the 18th century song "The Ballad Of William Kidd." Collins makes it sound both old and new, her voice steadfast against the slicing instrumentation. Collins said that she decided sing this now

Kenya’s Biggest Source Of Foreign Currency Is Bleeding Dangerously
Kenyans abroad are sending a lot less money back home Like many low- and middle-income countries, remittances — which are basically funds sent home by nationals living/working abroad — play a significant role in supporting families, improving living standards, and generally bolstering the local economy. But remittances have nosedived since COVID-19 went from outbreak to pandemic, and in Kenya where funds repatriated from abroad are the biggest source of foreign currency, things may be going very south. Data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) indicates that the country’s biggest source of foreign capital inflows is shrinking. Last month, Kenyans living outside the country sent home all of USD 208 Mn, some 9 percent less than the amount sent home in March. The dip in remittances is not unconnected to the shocks caused by the global pandemic and the situation might yet worsen.

Kramer in 1981 co-founded the Gay Men's Health Crisis organization for HIV-positive people and was a founder of Act Up (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) as well.

Kramer's autobiographical play The Normal Heart debuted in 1985, and his other notable work includes the play The Destiny of Me, which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He was also nominated for an Academy Award…

Trump's press secretary says there are 'real concerns' with mail-in voting. She's voted by mail 11 times.
Do as I say, not as I have done for the last decade. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has voted by mail 11 times in the past 10 years, sending in a ballot for every Florida election she's participated in since 2010, The Tampa Bay Times reports.

McEnany's voting history is similar to that of her boss, President Trump, who has routinely voted by mail while making a stink over others who do the same. "The president is, after all, the president, which means he's here in Washington. He's unable to cast his vote down in Florida, his state of residence," McEnany said last week about the president's voting decisions. McEnany's defense of Trump came after he incorrectly asserted that Michigan illegally distributed millions of absentee ballot applications to its residents and threatened to withhold funding…

Fox News' Laura Ingraham claims Democrats will make Americans wear masks 'forever'
Laura Ingraham is pushing some patently false claims about what America might look like under Democratic leadership. On Tuesday night, the Fox News host welcomed lawyer and Republican operative Harmeet Dhillon to her show to condemn Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) for ordering people to wear masks in public statewide. Dhillon falsely suggested "the masks don't work" or at least that no one can "prove they work," and then said that could provide a legal pathway to overriding Northam's order. Ingraham chimed in to claim if masks are "for safety," then "this is not a temporary thing," and then suggested if Democrats "get real power," they'll enact rules that mandate wearing masks in public "forever." For example, Laura Ingraham was plugging lawsuits against Virginia's mask mandate on the next hour of Fox. pic.twitter.com/GX3N65gZJS — Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) May 27, 2020 Ingraham's claim is clearly untrue, seeing as most U.S. localities, including many run by Democrats, haven't mandated people wear masks when…

SC's order about stranded migrants workers is a good step
Dear Editor,. It is noticeable to say that a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court on May 26 said there have been "Inadequacies and certain lapses" on the part of the Central and State governments in dealing with the migrant workers crisis during the lockdown. Newspaper reports and other media reports have been continuously showing the unfortunate and miserable conditions of migrant workers walking on the foot and cycling for the long distance", the Court stated. Adding "Effective concentrated efforts were required to redeem the situation". So I suppose that, although, SC's this step is late, but is better, because lakhs of people are forced on the roads and footpaths to walk on the foot, no one is ready to help them except some people. Really, it was time to help them, but it shouldn't happen, on which, many of them have died because of starvation, long distance and accidents. Now the govt must stand to help them. --Jauhar Mumbai

Boost Village Economy
Dear Editor,India is a country where one can find many villages. Due to unavailability of basic needs and unemployment, most of the people prefer to move into the metro cities for work. The crisis came-up from this lockdown lead to migrant workers going back to their villages. In our country, the village economy mostly based on agriculture works. Presently, farmers are facing many challenges. Sometimes, they are not reaching out to the break-even point by selling fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products. The government welfare schemes have not reached to all so far. There is a big scope in putting village economy up, if the government will be able to take it seriously and plan further to boost the village economy. It will be helpful for creating new jobs, fulfilling the needs of villagers and empowering them.--Amit Singh Kushwaha, Satna (M.P)

T20 World Cup 2020 to be rescheduled to 2022
Dear EditorHaving a cursory glance on the scenario, it seems that the T20 world cup to be held in October will most likely be pushed back to 2022.This is because there is already a T20 world cup scheduled in October 2021 in India and to schedule two world cups of the same format in one year seems improper. Till a few days back there was talk that the T-20 world cup will be pushed back to February-March.However, this is unlikely now for the reason that the current market scenario is not ready to support two world cups within 6 months, a point of concern for the host broadcaster Star Sports. If the IPL happens in India in October, Star, sources confirm, is apprehensive of broadcasting 2 IPL in 6 months and 2 World Cups in 2021.The market, which is at its lowest at the moment isn’t in a position to support the scheduling. As a result the world cup will be moved to 2022. The works for everyone. First, the tournament will be postponed, not cancelled. This means cricket’s finances won’t be badly hit. Second there was…

42% US JOBS LOST IN COVID-19 MAY NOT COME BACK
NEW DELHI, May 27: For every 10 layoffs the economic slowdown to fight Coronavirus has induced, just three new jobs are created, according to new research.The numbers are finally capturing the full magnitude of the economic downturn the Coronavirus pandemic has caused. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, recently announced a 14.7% unemployment rate for April.The working paper is part of a special project by the Becker Friedman Institute of Economics that highlights new economic information about COVID-19.While this reallocation shock is good news for some sectors, the authors find the news particularly troubling for others.“We estimate that 42% of recent pandemic-induced layoffs will result in permanent job loss,” says Steven J. Davis of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, a leading expert on hiring practices, job loss, and the effects of economic uncertainty.“If the economic shutdown lingers for many months, or if serious pandemics become a recurring phenomenon, there will be profound…

New York's oldest Irish pub reopens after longest closure in 166-year history
ONE OF New York City’s oldest and most iconic Irish pubs has reopened for business after its longest closure in 166 years of business. McSorley’s Old Ale House in the East Village closed its doors back on March 17, a week after the city’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, postponed the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Though McSorley’s initially continued to operate takeout orders, business proved slow, prompting the bar’s owner to shut the pub entirely. The fact this legendary Irish pub stayed shut for two whole months is a measure of how seriously Covid-19 impacted life in New York – one of the worst-hit US states for coronavirus. Incredibly, McSorley’s previously stayed open during the American Civil War and also through the Spanish flu pandemic of the early 20th century.

Robert Mugabe’s Lingering ‘Good’ Legacy?
He was Africa’s archetypal icon of post-colonial totalitarianism. Charismatic. Educated. Feared. Endowed with racist tribal arrogance.

He habitually insulted Western leaders, decimated private property rights. Under his rule, cronies blossomed as inflation broke all post World War 2 records. By the time he was deposed in a ‘decent’ military coup, Zimbabwe was in a tailspin of obscene poverty. Despised by the international community, loathed by liberals and social democrats alike.

AI reveals mechanism for kin selection in a wild primate
More like mom or dad? Human babies always get this curious look in their faces combined with the question of whom the child resembles most. The answers vary depending on the degree of kinship, gender and the time of assessment. Mandrills, monkeys living in Equatorial Africa, may recognize facial features coding relatedness better than humans. Scientists showed by using up-to-date artificial intelligence (AI) that half-sisters, who have the same father look more alike than half-sisters who share the same mother. The paternal half-sisters also have closer social relationships with each other than unrelated mandrills. This result provided the first evidence suggesting that interindividual resemblance has been selected to signal paternal kinship.

Mitchel, who positioned himself as the true inheritor of the Republican ideals of the Society of United Irishmen of 1798, founded his controversial views on race in Ireland and transferred them to an American arena when he found himself a refugee in the new world. Mitchel’s journalism in his United Irishman newspaper ran from February 12, 1848 for sixteen weekly editions until May 27 of the same year.

REVIEW: TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Irish love story Normal People is exquisite
IN 2018, Sally Rooney’s Normal People became the go-to novel for twenty-somethings. A sparsely written tale of first love set in county Sligo and Dublin, it elevated the then 27-year-old Rooney to ‘Voice of a Generation’ status, seemingly overnight. I too was gripped by Rooney’s depiction of an on-again off-again relationship between two sixth form and then Trinity College students. As a recent university student, many of the characters and situations described in this book were all too familiar and fresh in my memory. If friends discarded Normal People as YA (Young Adult) fodder or criticised the ineptitude of the protagonists, it felt like a personal slight. Advertisement So, two years later, it was important to me that this television adaptation delivered. But thankfully, the joint BBC/Hulu production, available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer, is a classic in the making. The 12-part limited drama series follows Connell and Marianne over four tumultuous years, beginning in their final year of school. Paul Mescal…

Tuesday Morning closing 230 stores, files bankruptcy
DALLAS, TX - Off-price retailer Tuesday Morning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday with plans to close more than a third of its stores. Tuesday Morning had been struggling when the coronavirus pandemic began and went into a free fall when it was forced to temporarily close its locations due to the crisis. The company joins a growing list of retailers that have tumbled into Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the pandemic, including J.C. Penney, Neiman Marcus and J. Crew. In each case, the companies were already in rough shape before the pandemic began due to excessive debt and declining foot traffic. Tuesday Morning, which sells a wide variety of merchandise including home decor, bath and body goods, crafts, food, and toys, hopes to stay in business while using the bankruptcy process to restructure its operations. The company plans to permanently close about 230 of its 687 stores this summer. Of those, it has already identified 132 that will be shuttered, including 17 in California. "These stores were…

FORMER Zimbabwe national cricket team captain Tatenda Taibu has made startling claims that he was offered money not to stand up for players’ rights during his captaincy.

There was not only one thing that I did mention, some of the cars that were being donated were going to the administrators when they were actually supposed to be going to the players. At the time we didn’t have selectors that knew about international cricket so those were some of the things that I raised. “However, everything was just thrown aside and instead of fixing the problems that I was bringing onto the table, I was now being offered bribes. My money was offered to be doubled. At that time we used to be paid in US dollars for match day fees and in local currency for our…

One rule for them, another for you – how the coronavirus became political
THE coronavirus is not political. It is an act of nature. It is random fate. It arrived in these green Irish hills. It arrived on English streets. It arrived in the vast spaces of the USA. It arrived on the warm beaches of Brazil. It arrived everywhere. The world scrabbled to deal with it and even the best made it up as they went along. Advertisement The stark biology of it made us confront the simple, human, fact of our own mortality. It was inevitable, too, that there would be mistakes. Ireland’s death rate, for instance, could have been better. We locked down just that little bit too late. We made mistakes with our nursing homes that constitute a pretty damaging oversight. Each and every death was a sadness and even as I write this, with our first day without a single coronavirus death just announced, we remember that.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:00 A.M.) – According to a new report, there are diplomatic efforts made in secret by Tehran to change its policies towards Iraq after the assassination of the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani during a U.S. raid near Baghdad International Airport. Citing unnamed sources, Reuters reported that the goal of the new methods pursued by Iran is to break the political deadlock in Baghdad, and to accelerate the departure of nearly 5,000 US soldiers from Iraq, according to three senior Iranian officials involved in the process. “Sometimes you should take a step back, monitor and plan based on the facts on the ground,” said a senior Iranian official, who asked not to be named.

Jerry Falwell Jr. says he'll only wear a mask featuring Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's blackface yearbook photo
Jerry Falwell Jr. is conceding to Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's (D) coronavirus-fighting demands with a mask that's almost certain to backfire. Northam's recent order mandating everyone in the state wear a mask when they're in public has seemingly made Falwell pretty mad about preserving public health. So on Wednesday, the Liberty University president and influential conservative figure, revealed he'd ordered a mask printed with the blackface photo found on Northam's college yearbook page — something anyone who sees Falwell wearing the mask will likely not know. It's been more than a year since it was revealed Northam's 1984 yearbook page featured a photo of a person in blackface standing beside a person in KKK robes. While Northam said he had worn blackface before, he maintained that he wasn't either of the men in the photo, and a three-month investigation couldn't prove it was or wasn't him. That photo is on Falwell's new mask, though without any context or explanation, those unfamiliar with Northam's scandal…

No question of formation of any advisory council in J&K: BJP
JAMMU, May 26: Putting all speculations to rest, the Bharatiya Janta Party on Monday said there is no question of formation of any advisory council or similar arrangement in Jammu & Kashmir."There is no question of formation of any advisory council. It is all baseless propaganda and fake news," BJP's general secretary for J&K, Ashok Koul said.The remarks by the BJP's top leader has put a lid on the rumours that Apni Party could be given a role in decision- making in Jammu & Kashmir before Assembly elections are held.Sources in J&K government told KNO that there is no question of any politician being given a direct role in governance matters of Jammu and Kashmir.

It is childish to talk about such arrangement,” they said, adding that CM and Cabinet ministers are elected through elections. They said that there is no provision for interim arrangement under the Jammu and Kashmir Re- Organisation…

Biden suggests many COVID-19 deaths were avoidable but for Trump's 'lack of attention and ego'
Former Vice President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that President Trump is "supposed to lead by example" when it comes to wearing a mask and social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, but has failed at that and also keeping the death toll down. The U.S. is close to reaching the grim milestone of 100,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths. In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Biden said it is as important as ever to stay safe by social distancing and wearing a face covering, as the COVID-19 threat is "not over." Biden then appeared to reference a recent report by Columbia University researchers who found that enacting federal social distancing measures nationwide just one week earlier in March would have prevented about 36,000 coronavirus deaths, with thousands more deaths averted under earlier closures. The first imported case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was reported on Jan. 20, with community transmission following a few weeks later. "One hundred thousand deaths and at least 35,000 to 50,000 were avoidable, but…

UP's move against workers
The observations of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday about the problems by the workers, who move out of the state to earn their livelihoods, do not go down well in the interest of those, the government wants to serve. It is all the more unfortunate that instead of protecting their interests across India of workers hailing from the biggest state of the country, the government will be harming their future prospects. His announcement that a 'Migration Commission' will be formed to help the workers, who have returned to UP amid lockdown from other parts of the country is unlikely to serve the purpose. The Commission proposed task to find ways and means for guaranteed social security to workers, provide them employment as per their skills appears to be an admission by him that it does not have these provisions for its own people. Yogi Adityanath's criticism of other states for not taking care of workers from UP during the lockdown is likely to face a backlash. There is no denying that fact that…

"The President of the United States has taken something that does not belong him — the memory of my dead wife — and perverted it for perceived political gain," her widower, Timothy Klausutis, wrote in an open letter to Twitter on Tuesday.

Bright Eyes – “One And Done”
In a couple of days, Bright Eyes' tremulous, heart-wrecked landmark sophomore album Fevers And Mirrors will celebrate its 20th anniversary. (More on that one later.) Conor Oberst was a 20-year-old kid when he made that record. Over the years, his band has gone through a bunch of different permutations, triumphs, and stretches of inactivity. Bright Eyes were supposed to spend this spring touring for the first time in nine years, but thanks to the whole global-pandemic situation, that won't happen until next year. The band has, however, been releasing new songs lately. Today, we get another one. There's a new Bright Eyes album in the works. We don't know the details yet, but we've heard the songs "Persona Non Grata" and "Forced Convalescence." Today, the band has shared a third one called "One And Done." It's a grand, strained ballad about fragile feelings and big endings. The core members of Bright Eyes — Oberst, Mike Mogis, Nathaniel Walcott — had some serious help in recording it.

Courtney Marie Andrews – “It Must Be Someone Else’s Fault”

This summer, Andrews will follow it up with the new LP Old Flowers, which she recorded with Bon Iver/Big Thief producer Andrew Sarlo. The album features only three musicians: Andrews, Twain multi-instrumentalist Matthew Davidson, and Big Thief drummer James Krivchenia. Old Flowers was originally scheduled for release in early June, but it's since been pushed back about a month and a half. We've already posted the early singles "If I Told" and "Burlap String," and Andrews has shared a third today. "It Must Be Someone Else's Fault" is a warm, dazed song where Andrews fondly recalls an old relationship and about trying to come to terms with the idea that you once messed up a good thing. The lyrics are sad, but the music is gorgeous in a full, open, almost happy way. The song has a video from director V Haddad. It features

9 Times Our Favourite Movies Actually Provoked Animal Catastrophes
Animals in TV series can speak, make gourmet meals, and even perform detective investigations. We adore them for being cute and smart, and after watching an animal-featured movie, we immediately have the urge to buy a pet. But once we find one, we soon realize they can’t cook like the rat from Ratatouille, nor do they have a wonderful sense of humor like the guinea pig from G-Force. The veil of charm falls down, causing people to abandon their pets — and unfortunately, this happens often and is a cruel statistic nowadays.

The Never-Trump group Lincoln Project arranges 100,000 body bags in brutal new ad
You can read about various ways President Trump has failed to live up to the COVID-19 challenge in thoughtful articles by doctors, historians, conservative journalists, and dozens of other op-eds and analyses, but the Lincoln Project is betting that Trump and an American flag made up of body bags convey the gist of that story quicker and more effectively. The group, formed by prominent anti-Trump conservatives and Republicans, released such an ad on Tuesday night. The tagline and title of the ad — "100,000 dead Americans. One wrong president" — is a little premature, perhaps. According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. had only 98,929 official COVID-19 deaths as of Wednesday morning, out of 1.68 million cases, though both numbers are likely undercounts. No other country has reported more than 392,000 COVID-19 cases or 38,000 deaths. Peter Weber
