‪“Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave — and it is often hard to be brave — be kind.”

If you miss Twitter like I miss Twitter, this is when you miss it most… a real time chat with the most interesting people on social media; making the best jokes and observations.
That doesn’t exist right now and I’m not sure when it will again

Okay, I logged on to each of the major microblogging platforms during the concert… off and on throughout the night.
Not one word.
Not a tweet or X or Thread or any post talk about it as it was happening

Plus, let’s factor in the importance of the effort to one of America’s best cities… one that has provided all of us with some of the best artistic experiences of each of our lives

The staging and logistics and sound and broadcasting… the production, and legal deals with talent, the airing on almost every major streamer… the scope of this. Unbelievable

Fire Aid is an amazing feat… top notch talent and performances from every generation of popular music going back to the mid sixties…
I mean this’ll be the last time we see some of these classic acts

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live…is…victory.” Howard Zinn
