Trump declared a fake emergency in D.C. and sent in the military. Congress can end this abuse of power—join @standupamerica.com & demand action now: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

It never occurred to me that we could "end surveillance capitalism", even though it's destroying democracy, driving us all mad with distraction, and enabling governments and corporations to track every moment of our lives....this book shifted my thinking. www.audible.com/pd/Stolen-Fo...

Bravo Colbert! If only all employees could be so brave, the world would look very different.

Happy birthday, America. Your gift? A new police state.

Owner responsibility = Slavery, of course. He taught the MAGA base that "these people" are "vermin", and now this.

This book is helping me zoom out and understand the world better right now. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

This is such an awesome and healthy choice.

The audiobook industry continues to grow! "Audiobook sales revenue rose to $2.22 billion in 2024, 13% over the previous year." #narrator #humanvoicesonly www.audiopub.org/surveys

"The consumption and number of AI-narrated audiobooks has increased, though willingness to try AI-narrated audiobooks dropped year-over-year, from 77% in 2023 to 70% in 2025." - Audiobook Publishers Association, June 2025 www.audiopub.org/surveys #narrator #humanvoicesonly #loveaudiobooks

I got quoted in my favorite newspaper! It's a great article, with many erudite points made by those who reject the use of AI. #narrator #audiobooks #humanvoicesonly 💙📚 bit.ly/4jKxGgN

If Alexander Hamilton imagined corporations that were richer and more powerful than countries, the Constitution would prohibit gifts from them too. No more lobbying. Congress would only act in our interests. Only the courts could achieve this change now. @democracyforward.org @maddow.msnbc.com

I think Duolingo knows that I’m going to visit America soon.

Yea, cause who wants clean air? Not republicans obviously.

I love this. You don’t have to be available everywhere, all the time. Do your best work. Be known for quality.

Proud of you, Europe! 🇪🇺

Google won't let us turn off AI Overviews. Let's turn off Google. I'm moving to Qwant.

🧵1 #writingcommunity #author #narrator Do you remember that on 27 Feb 2024 #brandonsanderson shared a blog post about having negotiated a 'new royalty model' for authors who sell on Audible. I'm sure his heart was in the right place, but what we got is WORSE. www.brandonsanderson.com/blogs/blog/r...

Hauntings can be more than lingering souls seeking revenge or to deal with unfinished business; sometimes the emotions and energy of past events can be recorded on the location itself, imprinting and replaying over and over again... 🧵⬇️

At the #HandsOff protest at Bryant Park in NYC. There are too many people to count… and also bagpipes.

loving this one i saw on another site #handsoff

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

YES. Keep your Tesla. COVER it with the stickers. A rolling protest sounds like the most effective way forward.

Adolescence on Netflix is so powerful. The long scenes shot continuously make you realise how rarely we hold such an intense emotional focus.

Narrators are unlike any other actors. You've passed us in the street. We're behind you in the grocery store. We're invisible. So hearing Whoopie Goldberg say this on The View means a lot. youtu.be/5V6pOgnq5S8

Live in Spain, eat a Mediterranean diet and 3 yogurts a day, and fill your life with: “order, tranquility, good connection with family and friends, contact with nature, emotional stability, no worries, no regrets, lots of positivity and staying away from toxic people”.

Look who was on stage at the Audies last night (the Oscars for Audiobooks).

Right 👇🏾👏🏾😊

Laws should be binding. And treaties should mean something.

It's EERIE to listen to this audiobook, which has so many parallels to today - wealth inequality, corporate greed, climate change. Published in 1993, but written about THIS TIME, as in "March 4, 2025"!

The Providence Girls audiobook, narrated wonderfully by April Doty and Ellie Gossage. 🖤

For my Democratic friends in Congress, please wear Zelensky’s Oval Office attire tomorrow night to Trump’s State of Union speech.

Yesterday, the streets of Chicago were filled with Ukrainian flags. Thank you to everyone who stands with #Ukraine! 📹: dem4yna/Instagram

Word of the day: "Picayune". It means "petty or small-minded." #WOTD

How much of our internet and phone service goes through Elon's Starlink? What happens if Elon wants to switch them off, not only to Ukraine, but to other countries, or even to individual IP addresses? #resist

Maps are so easy to change! Could this be the next Google map update, reflecting the new United States of Russia? #resist

It's time for us to rewrite the American national anthem. We need something rousing, something that reaffirms American values. It needs to double as protest song and a legacy of this age. #MusicianSky #writingcommunity

More of this, please!!

So…Russian state television was let into the Oval Office to live stream Trump and Vance’s attack on Zelensky??? How can anyone, even in MAGA, defend this?

Going to Bolonia, Spain is like pressing the reset button on me. Where does your reset button take you?

Nothing inspires me more than hearing someone stand up for their colleague as you did for @joyannreid.bsky.social - thank you @maddow.msnbc.com. If only everyone would act in line with their values at work, the world would be a different place.
