Groceries are so expensive. If you have a little extra to help people put food on the table, please support our neighborhood food pantry. We provide the stables of beans, rice, canned veggies, etc., plus we can sometimes afford coffee and spices. www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-...

“The university ‘limited the work of Dr. Wu, partly closed her lab, broke up her research team, reassigned her grants to her white male faculty colleagues, and left her isolated.’ After the investigation, Northwestern allegedly ‘cut her salary for lack of funding’” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You could give 130,000 kids free school lunch for a year with this much money instead

This is a new low in the use of the shadow docket. The Court blocked a lower court ruling on the so called "interim docket" (as conservatives call it). Then, quietly issued a final judgement without allowing us to even brief the merits appeal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Microsoft, meanwhile, is reportedly looking into purchasing power from a Chevron-backed natural gas project in West Texas That single project, according to its permit, could emit more than 11.5 million tons of greenhouse gases each year—more than the yearly emissions of the entire country of Jamaica

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

Real-life supervillains have built a real-life earthquake machine. There are no real-life super spies or superheroes to stop them. So it’s up to all of us.

The Media:

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

Hang on...the President had a duty to commute or pardon them...?

Kudos to AO3 for consistently meeting its fundraising goals.

SANTA CRUZ/APTOS! I hope to see you at this concert tomorrow at Cabrillo College, Samper Recital Hall. I’ll be there with a Hensel merch and info table and to help out the lovely Brianna and Olivia for their big multimedia concert

“You care about Gaza, but you don't care about anything else.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social discuss people who are progressive only when it comes to Palestine, but support mass deportations at home. Watch: zeteo.com/p/naomi-klei...

Solar panels don’t damage the countryside you just don’t like the way they look. Skylarks. Linnets. Yellowhammers. www.ecoportal.net/en/solar-pan...

Reminds me of the Austrian nobility who hosted occupying French Officers in their homes...

This whole sequence illustrates one way in which King James and I are nothing alike. (Sorry Karl)

#TheDoubleTax tour ended last night with a SOLD OUT event and a room full of Black women. Thank you, @boston.gov, for seeing the Black women of Boston. Thank you, Just Book-ish, for hosting, and to all the Black women who made this possible. One of my absolute favorite evenings to date. #blacksky

Shout out to the Ludwig van Beethoven of basketball for leading the Lakers to a 3-0 lead against the Rockets in his 41st year around the sun. When I was 41 I was composing my 7th symphony, which I think is an equivalent achievement.

I don't own a cat but if I did her name would be Saint Cecilia.

You love to see it.

🎻 Tonight at 7:30pm in Halifax, the prize-winning Isidore String Quartet takes the stage at the Stage at St Andrews in Halifax with a program of Brahms, Beethoven, and Bach. 🗓️ Saturday, April 25 • 7:30pm 🎟️ ceciliaconcerts.ca/isidore-quartet

The father-son situations on The Boys is really starting to bother me, almost entirely due to my own daddy-issues.

Y'all don't even know what you missed.

This is where LeBron and I diverge in terms of our place in our respective artforms and their respective histories.

I'm brave enough to admit that I would, in fact, buy this the day it goes on sale or see it opening night. Yes, I would.

NEW: Nearly 140,000 people filed claims against Purdue for the harm they said its drugs caused. Fewer than half of them will get any compensation under a new payout plan. With @inquirer.com

Ditto regarding regarding great music.

I bet if I hadn't gone deaf I'd've still been trouncing rival virtuosos in musical duels even into my 50s.

Siegfried is the opera version of that children’s book “Are You My Mother?”

Ok, look. This one isn't actually @realludwigvan.myatproto.social's fault. Observe 1st violin looking at 2nd violin and the viola looking at the bassist. You are just waiting for the luxurious locks of 2nd violin and double bass to perform a bloodless coup on baldies (1st violin and viola).

Alright, nerds. Give me three symphonies that get your blood moving. GIMME ALL YA GOT! • Beethoven 7. • Sibelius 5. • Mahler 2. No wrong answers, don't overthink it.

You love to see it.

Blue!!!

That's a mighty big "what if"...

I'd say they're more like onions.

I don't know that I would agree with this assessment regarding my listening skills, at least not when it came to teachers.

what—and I cannot stress this enough—the fuck are you talking about

We can impact our city councils or local boroughs and prevent data centers. We need to send the message that their AI isn't worth our communities and the environment.

Deep sigh

I am honored to be mentioned in the same breath as Coltrane.
