David Johansen died at the weekend at the age of 75, meaning all founding members of The New York Dolls are now gone. The band never had a top 100 hit, but @RollingStone's critic Robert Christgau says they still changed the world. Here's his story of the band, from the first gig he attended in 1972 to the 2005 album, "Some Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This."

Incredible statement from the American Meteorological Organization. It takes a lot for a scientific organization to issue a statement like this:

"U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk due to the recent and ongoing reductions in U.S. federal science capabilities. The consequences to the American people will be large and wide-ranging, including increased vulnerability to hazardous weather...Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm and have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, and the United States’ global leadership."

Why is no one discussing The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances?

---
The memoranda prohibited Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom and France from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.
