Big tech needs--and the government wants--these data centers because they're recording and archiving our every key stroke. Big brother needs a lot of storage space.

The beloved bookstore Book Soup is temporarily closed because of flooding on Sunset due the bursting main water pipe. I had my launch for my novel, The Lyric Hotel, at Book Soup. Everyone was so supportive. We need Book Soup to open soon. Rooting for a speedy recovery.

Time for Dems to play hardball and replace McConnell. He certainly would have done so

Thank you, Marc! @marcelias.bsky.social

Big Waymo is watching you!

When it inevitably comes out that McConnell hasn’t been conscious since his collapse on June 14, let’s all remember that the Senate Majority Leader and Whip said they’d talked to him the day after he got CPR and that he was “engaged” (both of them used that exact word!) and would be back soon.

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

Really dumb of white supremacist Patriot Front members to wear masks. Now CNN executives won’t know who is telegenic enough to put on one of their political discussion panels to provide “balance.”

Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.” Made me cry, because it’s true.

How nice to have my album, Wonderful Deeds and Adventures, included in this piece on Laura Nyro.

Laura Nyro was my friend and I loved her. Every experience with her was and is a treasure. My Medley for Billie Holiday consists of two Laura-tunes and Billie's "Lady Sings the Blues." @listeningsessions1.bsky.social.

It's possible to derive joy from other people's joy.

New York is on one right now!

No accident this is happening in Mamdani's NYC. Amazing to have a mayor who understands what makes the city great & is so imaginative in meeting its needs. Casts a harsh light on previous leaders. Those fuckers hate streets, spontaneity, joy. A Cipriani gala w/strict security—that's their New York

48 years old. Never uninsured until now. That’s someone’s parent, neighbor, coworker. Living in the richest country on Earth, terrified to get sick. Mexico is covering 130 million people. Canada has done it for years. Republicans keep funding wars instead of our own people. #FundHealthcareNotWar

“Playing against the sky really does improve your volume, and your wind capacity.  I could have just stayed up there forever.” Sonny Rollins (September 9, 1930 - May 25, 2026) 📸 Atsuhiko Kawabata, 1961

It’s really frightening.

"'It's been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV,' Colbert said from the studio. 'So I am grateful to be able to be here on Monroe Community Media before they also get acquired by Paramount.'" www.detroitnews.com/story/entert...

Historian here this is literally about gutting the Reconstruction amendments especially the consequential 14th amendment piece by piece.

CBS backlash has pushed Colbert to 2.70 million viewers. Weiss is now faced with canceling the MOST WATCHED PROGRAM in the late-night time slot. Fire her - keep Colbert is the answer.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!

Nice to be on an RYM list entitled: "Favorite 300 List of the Most Amazing Female Vocalists!" A list that includes: Laura Nyro, Dusty Springfield, and Fiona Apple!

This is just insane!! I used to toss mine, but read every piece of mail you get from your Insurance Co. This is what's happening to people if you don't! #Pinks #ProudBlue www.alternet.org/medical-bill...

Over eight million Americans took to the streets today, which makes No Kings 3 the biggest single day of protest in the history of our country. #NoKings

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is from the NYPD’s official account
