Weds Blogcast: Gov Polis re new Supreme Court justice; CJ Box; Iran talks
. Just One Thing: My first visit to Seattle (and western Washington) Kristen and I went to Seattle to visit our older kid who recently moved there. Except for the traffic and the human poop in the city center, we were very impressed with the city. Beautiful architecture, nice people, spectacular waterways and islands, seems like good food, and more. I don't want to live there but it was a nice place to visit.
THE CROSSROADS | Kirkus Reviews
More than any of his earlier cases, the comatose hero’s 26th adventure bears the hallmarks of a formal detective story. Wyoming Game and Fish Warden Joe Pickett has been shot plenty of times before. But this time may be the last. As Joe hovers between life and death in a Billings hospital, Box indicates that Dorn Peddy and James Dale O’Bryan are the two men who ambushed him, shot him, and left him for dead. But he doesn’t reveal who hired them or why.

Just One Thing: Governor Polis will sign this anti-gun bill After a bunch of modifications that the true gun-haters are probably very disappointed with, Colorado Senate Bill 25-003 (also called SB3) remains a harmful, dangerous, and potentially unconstitutional (but not as obviously unconstitutional as the original version) mess. It is a solution in search of a problem. I will share with you my note to Governor Polis regarding the bill after he said it doesn't create a gun registry.

TERRY GROSS, HOST: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Stephen Sondheim's 1981 musical, "Merrily We Roll Along," closed after only 16 performances.

The publisher of the Washington Post introduced the paper’s new top editor — for the next few months — on Monday to a deeply skeptical staff that peppered him with questions about strategy, timing, and cronyism.

With the Olympics fast approaching, gymnast Simone Biles already looks dominant
Simone Biles sprinted toward the springboard, leapt onto the vault and launched herself into the air, flipping her entire body two and a half times in a Yurchenko double pike, one of the most difficult routines in all of gymnastics. On Sunday, in the all-around finals at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, her momentum was too great to stop. Biles landed hard, flying backwards onto her back in a total fall, amid worriedcries from the crowd.

8 Tracks: You don't need a deity to pray - just transcendent music
8 Tracks is your antidote to the algorithm. Each week, NPR Music producer Lars Gotrich, with the help of his colleagues, makes connections between sounds across time. It's only June, but I think I've already found one of my favorite albums of the year. Does it matter that it’s sung in a language I don't speak? Not in the least.
'Clipped' finds bigger questions in the scandal of ex-Clippers owner Donald Sterling
It could be easy to dismiss a limited series about the Donald Sterling scandal today. Even when it first broke 10 years ago, after gossip site TMZ published a recording of racist comments by the onetime Los Angeles Clippers owner, the whole thing had an unsavory, tabloidy feel — kicking off a firestorm of criticism which shocked the sports world and led to a forced sale of the team.
Don't just blame rat fleas. Lice may have helped spread 'black death' plague
The plague — which in the mid-14th century was also known as the Black Death — devastated swaths of Europe, killing millions in under a decade. One of the puzzles surrounding this ancient pandemic was how it spread so quickly. The common wisdom is that rat fleas were the big spreaders. But now a new paper is making a second parasite look like it may have helped play a role in plague transmission — the lowly human body louse. The disease is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis.
On his 75th solo album, Willie Nelson confronts the politics of 'The Border'
SCOTT DETROW, HOST: Willie Nelson has just released his 75th solo album. And yes, you heard that right - 75th. This latest album is called "The Border." And at 91 years old, you might forgive Nelson if he just phoned this one in, but that is not what he did at all. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "KISS ME WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH") WILLIE NELSON: (Singing) Then you tell me that you wish that you never heard of me. When you close your eyes, I'm not the one you see. Well, kiss me when you're through.

South Korea says it will suspend peace deal with North Korea over balloon launches
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea announced Monday it’ll suspend a rapprochement deal with North Korea to punish it over its launches of trash-carrying balloons, even after the North said it would halt its balloon campaign.

Georgia's parliament speaker signs divisive foreign influence bill into law
TBILISI, Georgia — The speaker of Georgia's parliament said he gave the final endorsement on Monday to a divisive "foreign agents" bill that has prompted weeks of protests by critics who say it will restrict media freedom and jeopardize Georgia's chances of joining the European Union. Shalva Papuashvili signed the bill into law after the legislature, controlled by the ruling Georgian Dream party, dismissed the veto of President Salome Zourabichvili.
This chef in Rwanda wants to create a revolution in African cuisine
KIGALI, Rwanda — Chef Dieuveil Malonga gives off something of a Willy Wonka vibe. His infectious smile feels impish, mischievous. At his restaurant Meza Malonga in Kigali, Rwanda, there's no chocolate river, but there is an entire wall full of seeds, spices and fermented fruits in wide-mouthed glass jars. Malonga calls this his laboratory. It bursts with elements ripe for experimentation. Baobab from Tanzania. Black lemon from Egypt. "The base of the cuisine," Malonga calls it.
‘All eyes on Rafah’ is the Internet's most viral AI meme. Two artists are claiming credit.
Two Malaysians separated by 900 miles are both taking credit for a synthetic image of Gaza that became the most viral ever AI-generated photo, underscoring the complexities of authorship and ownership in an online landscape increasingly overrun with content created by artificial intelligence. The story behind the “all eyes on Rafah” graphic, which has been shared about 50 million times on Instagram and other platforms, likely begins on the northern tip of the Southeast Asian island of Borneo.
What to make of the new COVID variants, FLiRT
As much as we would all love to ignore COVID, a new set of variants that scientists call “FLiRT” is here to remind us that the virus is still with us. The good news: as of last Friday, the CDC says that the amount of respiratory illness in the U.S. is low. The not-so-great news: the U.S. has often flirted with summer COVID waves because of travel and air-conditioned gatherings.
How earning $30 too much a month keeps a cancer patient in Georgia from cheaper care
DECATUR, Georgia – Amy Wilson stood before the all-volunteer Atlanta Philharmonic Orchestra at a recent rehearsal in the basement of a church. Wilson, the group’s conductor, listened carefully for off-key notes as the sound of violins, cellos and flutes filled the air. “I tell them, ‘If you’re going to make a mistake, make it loud,” Wilson said. “Don’t play timidly.

Step aside BMI, body composition tests are on the rise. Here's what to know
The scale has never been a friend to Mana Mostatabi. Even back in high school, when she ran a quick 100m on the varsity track team, her BMI – a ratio of weight to height – put her in the overweight category. “My dad always joked that I should be a wrestler,” Mostatabi says due to her build. Many professional athletes flunk BMI tests. Some are considered obese despite their fitness, and many doctors say it isn’t a helpful metric to focus on.

Can you make music from Joshua trees - or is that wild science? Yes.
The artist Scott Kildall is waving his hand over the contours of a Joshua tree, just inches from its spiky green, bayonet-like leaves. “If I get too close to it, it will prick me and draw blood,” he says. “And it's done that before.” In his palm, he has a microcontroller — just about the size of a credit card. It’s got a few wires sticking out, and an infrared sensor, which picks up wavelengths of light just beyond what the human eye can perceive. “It's kind of like magic,” Kildall says.
Tems: Tiny Desk Concert
This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk is giving the ladies their flowers. We’re releasing nine Tiny Desk concerts from Black women artists, from veterans who’ve paved the way for what we hear today in Black music, to those who are carving out their own paths. To hear Tems tell the audience that she was shy came as a surprise to me. As a performer, she captivates us with such ease and exudes confidence when she’s not, so to see her blushing as the crowd roared was sweet to witness.
