I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

I am moving away from streaming music and want to utilize my long dormant iTunes library but the music app sucks. Any recommendations for apps to organize a local music library on Windows. #music

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show
AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.
FP: That’s not true
AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

@monicabyrne13.bsky.social I suspect you concur ;-)
"2026" is a pretty futuristic-sounding year. 2027 is not. I can't explain this. The next big one is 2031. 2049 is gonna be huge.

I think one of the reasons mainstream democrats didn’t like Mamdani is that he is a guy who does things, and they don’t want that example out there.
Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Speaking as a former Californian with continuing deep ties to the state: Go ahead and be Florida's problem, you greedy fascist fuckwaddles
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

Might have to cancel my recurring donation to @propublica.org. They have historically done very good reporting, and I wanted to support that. But it looks like they may be going in a different direction.

AI is accelerating the enshitification of so much.
End of an era. Crucial was *the* pick for bang-for-the-buck SSDs, not to mention the memory biz. www.theverge.com/news/837594/...
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead
