 MSNBC announced an unexpected name change on Monday, debuting a new brand and logo scheme in the wake of the network’s split from NBCUniversal. Comcast announced plans to spin off most of NBC’s cable networks into a separate, publicly traded company called Versant last year. The new name is My Source News Opinion World, which is long for MS NOW. The logo does not feature NBC’s famous peacock design. Versant expects the change to take effect this fall. |
| [Changing Times Changing Keys] I’ve lived here over 30 years, and no it’s not the same. In the last 20 years I’ve left for up to 7 days about three times. Every time I did, I appreciated this place more than before. Sounds to me someone has “white people” problems. I’ll assume you have a roof over your head and a meal. |

| [Key West’s Party in the Park] On Sunday, August 31, the iconic Truman Waterfront Park will become the vibrant heart of the Just a Few Friends celebration during the second annual Party in the Park, presented by The Greeen House. This free, family-friendly gathering follows the spirited Second Line Memorial Parade, uniting music lovers, locals, and island dreamers for an evening of connection, reflection, and celebration under the setting sun. The parade begins in the 100 block of Duval Street, where fans gather with instruments, placards, bubbles, and tropical attire. Together, they’ll wind through Old Town—singing, toasting, and honoring the legacy of Key West’s favorite son—before arriving at Truman Waterfront Park for the evening’s main event. On stage, Howard Livingston & the Mile Marker 24 Band, Nadirah Shakoor, and Jocky Jord will perform heartfelt tributes to the music that shaped multiple generations. Appearances by Lucy Buffett and other special guests add warmth and authenticity, making the night feel less like a concert—and more like a reunion of kindred spirits. Link |

| [Friday Joke] A man was walking through the park when he saw a sign that said, “Talking Dog for Sale.” Curious, he knocked on the door and asked the owner, “Is it true?” The owner nodded and called the dog over. The man asked the dog, “What’s your story?” The dog replied, “I used to work for the CIA, but now I’m retired.” Amazed, the man asked the owner how much he wanted for the dog. The owner said, “Ten dollars.” The man exclaimed, “Ten dollars? Why so cheap?” The owner replied, “Because he’s a liar!” |

| [Friday Joke] A man goes to a bar and orders a drink. As he sips, he notices a dog sitting quietly in the corner. Curious, he asks the bartender, “Does your dog bite?” The bartender replies, “No, he doesn’t.” The man, feeling brave, approaches the dog. Suddenly, the dog snaps at him! Shocked, the man returns to the bar and says, “I thought you said your dog didn’t bite!” The bartender smirks, “That’s not my dog!” |
 [Twitter is Garbage] New leadership at Twitter has made substantive changes that have resulted in increases in the prevalence of pseudoscience, conspiracy theory, and harassment on the platform, causing many scientists to seek alternatives. Results of a new survey overwhelmingly confirm that changes to Twitter have made the social media platform no longer professionally useful or pleasant, and that many scientists have abandoned it in favor of Bluesky. Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter (X). Link |

The owner says, “Oh, that one’s only a hundred bucks.” The man asks, “Why so cheap?” The owner shrugs and says, “He’s a great listener!” |
