Green Flag, Empty Plate
Read more . . . →Yesterday Donald Trump took a lap around downtown Washington in an armored limousine, waved a green flag, and 150,000 people watched open-wheel race cars tear down Pennsylvania Avenue at 160 miles per hour. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix, part of the America 250 birthday bash, turned the National Mall into a racetrack. Meanwhile, buried in a report nobody covered on a Saturday: SNAP enrollment dropped from 42.2 million to 36.6 million in twelve months. 5.6 million people lost food assistance in the same year the president turned the capital into a speedway. Arizona alone lost more than half its recipients....

This Week on coldplaysucks: Aug 17–23
Read more . . . →Thirty-two tracks across two drops this week, and the loudest theme is the past showing up uninvited. NGHTMRE got Jordin Sparks back to re-sing “No Air,” Inner City’s “Good Life” got a trance rebuild, Yomanda’s Y2K anthem came back rerecorded, and Skrillex’s “Bangarang” picked up yet another edit.

Then it disappeared, which is the kindest...
