Bruce Springsteen at the NYPL Library Lions dinner tonight singing my favorite of his songs, Thunder Road. I met him but resisted the temptation to ask to take a picture with him. Regret?

The Bud Light boycott was treated as an earth-shattering act of resistance, meanwhile the Target boycott has a Fortune 50 company threatening to hold its remaining customers hostage to meet Q4 projections and everyone’s like, “meh.”
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Every bit of brinksmanship now is because the voters failed in 2024. Every single one. So stop looking for scapegoats in the Democratic Party. The voters failed to elect the only reasonable option.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
