Music has shaped who I am since childhood. I love & listen to multiple genres & regularly go to live performances. The feeling you get when you hear a song you connect with is life affirming. Something needs to be done to protect us & them from Ticketmaster, Live Nation, AI, etc.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?

A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.

It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

So this is what happened with JD’s San Diego stunt. Firing artillery over civilian areas not a hot idea. OTOH, everyone was focused on No Kings and hardly anyone noticed. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Translation: After we built an addictive tool based on stolen data, exploited labor and plundering the environment, which pushes kids to commit suicides, we were like, why not cash in on "erotica"? After all, this is what building so-called AGI that "benefits humanity" looks like.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

I take no pleasure in this but going to a different city with your dumb buddies and getting badly injured because you antagonized a bunch of strangers and fell down twice chasing the 110lb teenager who stole your sunglasses actually is North Jersey Excellence, of a sort.

Russians started a human safari in Pokrovsk too. Videos are just civilians getting slaughtered under the surveillance of a drone. This will obviously not make it to headlines but please don’t let russians kill in silence

In Giuffre's 2015 civil case against Maxwell, she named:

"All staff and employees at Mar-a-Lago during 1999-2002" as individuals who may have knowledge of Maxwell's crimes.

Shown here, paragraph 91

7 other Epstein survivors also can be placed at Mar-a-Lago

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

Ask the Germans what happens after the Regime falls.

Anyone who works for Homeland Security should be very worried about what comes next.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?
