If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Dang y’all. Losing your best friend to cancer is really fucking hard. I know the grief will lessen with time, but dear gods this sucks. She didn’t even make it to 47. I’m gutted.

Sometimes #communityradio is being with your best friend in hospital all day as she dies from cancer that wouldn’t stop spreading. And then crossing icy lots to keep moving things from old studio to new to help realize her dream of getting WRIR into a permanent home. @onehitwanda.bsky.social

I put together another fairly political playlist for this week. And then my brain went all nonsense songs and I came up with an additional two hours of wackiness. So what do y’all want to hear? Serious? Wackiness? Or a ping pong of both?

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
