I miss the old days of Twitter so much. This would have made today a banner day on Twitter. Like one for the books.

Column: The Corporation for Public Broadcast is ‘winding down.’ What does that mean for public radio and TV? The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it is “wind-down” operations. What does this mean for public radio and TV?

Cannot stress enough what a great job @404media.co is doing on the AI beat, which is monumentally important work. Information and how we get it affects and is affected by every single thing on this earth!

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social 90s nostalgia double whammy from my dad’s garage: the Disneyland game AND a Sodalicious branded scratch and sniff sticker!

This is where I post from

The response to COYOTE has been incredible—thank you SO MUCH to everyone who believes in independent, worker-owned journalism for the Bay Area.
But we're not stopping here...

I hope I get a kidney soon, at the very least so I can outlive the ghouls.

When the writer @alistairkitchen.bsky.social was stopped by Customs and Border Protection last week, after flying to Los Angeles from Melbourne, a border agent told him, “explicitly and proudly,” why he’d been pulled out of the customs line. nyer.cm/wVpy0on
