Happy Bandcamp Friday!
It's been a month since The Braid came out, and I'm delighted to share an epilogue in the form of a song: You Can Have It All. This song is exclusively available on @Bandcamp until my first run of records sells out.

My husband just informed me that he once dumped a cup of Diet Coke on Russell Brand’s head during a nightmarish experience of working for him. He described Brand as a “monster.”

The craziest thing about this is that he also once threw a coke at Stephen Miller, who he went to high school with. I would be incredulous about these multiple soda attacks but, knowing him, this checks out.
I visited this polling place in Maricopa county today and spoke to polling monitors who had been there all day. It was shut down for roughly a half hour at 6am due to a power outage and there was another polling place across the street that voters were redirected to.
Extremely fun and far-ranging interview with Foxy Digitalis out now, including one of my favorite passages from Howard’s End that they very graciously published in full.

This week. we hosted an event to discuss the broken system for inspecting ICE detention centers. It was a great conversation between POGO's Isabel Munilla, @ziembavision of @POGOinvestigate, and former DHS IG John Roth.
Thanks to @GovExec for covering! govexec.com/oversight/2026/1…

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia spent about $7.5M on federal lobbying in the third quarter of this year. That’s 23% more than the second quarter and 61% more than the same period last year. ⬇️
I’m incredibly honored to have received @Milreporters Joe Galloway Award for our military housing investigation created in collaboration between @POGOinvestigate and @TexasObserver

I hope this award leads to more people learning what it’s like for the military families taking on these massive real estate conglomerates in order to access safe housing.

Anyone who speaks German want to let me know if they hated it?
Especially curious about the word “Klangcocktail” in relation to this album

Ziemba's 'The Braid' is a sophisti-pop masterpiece
She says the music "dances through genres while plumbing the crystalline caverns of the soul". I'd kill to have written that line; it's so accurate. #PMPick [9/10] tinyurl.com/Ziemba26
Holy moly thank you @PopMatters for this extremely kind and flattering review.
