Hendry's Beach, Santa Barbara

"A beach walk is for stretching your legs and your mind, for looking at life with newfound eyes." (Sandy Gingras) #santabarbara #hendrysbeach

Watching #FireAid with two of my absolute favorite musicians, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills. Great benefit concert for the victims of the Socal fires. Very inspiring and emotional. Seeing the footage of all the devastation still breaks my heart. Please donate via text +1 (310) 359-0579. #LAstrong

“Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way we make heads or tails of it is through intuition. Intuition is seeing the solution—seeing it, knowing it. It’s emotion and intellect going together. That’s essential for the filmmaker."

R.I.P. David Lynch (1946-2025).

Watching Los Angeles burn breaks my heart. This city has been my home for 15 years. Over 80,000 residents evacuated, over 1,000 structures/homes destroyed, 5 dead - and counting. We are in the midst of a catastrophic event of apocalyptic proportions. Devastating, beyond belief. #lafire

Happy New Year! 🥂

A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄 Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with warmth, joy, and new memories! ⭐️

May your home be filled with joy and happiness on this special day. Happy Thanksgiving!

Love this story of resilience! From layoffs to leadership, former DCist journalists built a worker-owned newsroom aimed at redefining local reporting. With 3,000+ local donors behind them, they're showing what the future of journalism can look like. 🗞️✨ www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/the-...

A New World Order Is Here, and It Looks a Lot Like Mercantilism The chaotic politics of the last 16 years masked the steady development of a new economic order.

We're witnessing the death of free market capitalism & rise of a new mercantilism. 16 years post-2008 crash, nations are embracing economic nationalism & protectionism. History shows this path led to empires & eventual collapse. R we doomed to repeat past mistakes? www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the U.S. 👇

Rest in peace, Paul Auster - a literary giant whose works like "The New York Trilogy" enriched our lives. His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. #PaulAuster #RIP

It deeply saddens me to learn that the online assets (& archive) of Santa Barbara News Press will most likely be sold to a company located on the island of Malta. Isn't there a local organization or individual that wants to preserve the journalistic history of this - once influential - publication?

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s unwavering message to Russia resonates beyond his life in the documentary 'Navalny” as he talks about his message ... Alexei Navalny's vital message to Russia if he is killed in documentary 'Navalny'

Deeply troubled to hear about the passing of Alexei Navalny while in prison. "Don't give up" was his message when asked in the documentary "Navalny" what his message would be to people if he was killed. His legacy lives on, the fight continues. #RIP #navalny youtu.be/w4PxsTqcZtw?...

Troubling! A recent report from the World Economic Forum found that 53% of respondents considered AI-generated #misinformation and #disinformation among the #threats most likely to present a global material crisis in 2024, second only to extreme weather (66%). www.chartr.co/newsletters/...
