Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Sometimes you have to temporarily adopt a Finn and take her to #Epcot for the first time.

YAS! I have been recommended and voted unanimously to stay as my Library Board Chair. It honestly meant a lot to me, with vocal new members, who I thought would want the position. We have a solid great board and we are all aligned on our goal of keeping our Library as the best!

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

I'm in such awe of this caterpillar. Per #GoogleLens, it's a Fig Sphinx Moth. It blends in so well to my baby fig tree, but I'm blown away by the size.

I spent almost 2 hours painstakingly copying the orbits of all 128 Saturnian moons from the announcement MPEC and reformatting them for visualization...
Behold, here are the orbits of ALL 128 MOONS OF SATURN. This isn't just a moon system—it's a literal asteroid belt around Saturn! 🧪🔭☄️

Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Debris from this rocket fell for quite some time. It started appear on radar around 6:40 pm eastern, and 20 minutes later there were still chunks falling. I'm too lazy right now to setup my Windows PC with better software to check beam elevation, but imagine that's what this is. It's not birds.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Excited to see marketers get public love in this ad in the @wsj.com today. Frustrated they're all executives (however, that's the basis of Marketers That Matter.) I'd love to see some worker-bee's get recognized.

I haven't stopped, I'm not sure when that day will come, but I jumped straight from an out of state conference into a full-time volunteer job with the most amazing Finns on this planet.
In Lake Worth, swing by Midnight Sun Festival and let's talk all things Sister Cities.

This is something I think about a lot. I lost wifi the other night. I was hoping I could watch one of the movies I bought on Amazon. That I "own". Nope, had to drive out n buy a dvd player for a movie.
An eye opening experience that anything digital I buy, isn't mine.

Consumers are being sold an illusion of ownership. "Buy" a digital movie, an e-book, or a game today? Tomorrow, it could vanish. 🕳️
