I make nonprofit and social impact media. I coach others to be better at it. And I make the Yo Semite T-shirt. (See also: pottery, watercolors, Jewish stuff)

I know everyone on this app is dying to hear a good airline rant, but whoever is in charge of technology at Delta Airlines is a fucking idiot. It takes hours and chats and live phone calls to reset your password. I will never fly this airline again, writing it down to make sure that I don’t forget.

I want to hear an American poem.

American, you know
Soemthing that represents us
A colored rainbow
A big bright fist
An uncorrected sentence
Some improper English shit

Brooklyn: everyone. Please be careful. Violent ethnic rhetoric from any direction doesn’t help what’s happening overseas and it doesn’t make Brooklyn better.
What happened last week was a criminal, toxic, hateful attack. Keep the peace. Pursue criminals. No violence!

Opinion | How We Can Help Stop Reckless Drivers From Killing Pedestrians New York’s red-light and speed camera data tell us something urgent: A minority of bad drivers persistently engage in aberrant behavior. There’s a fix.

I’m all for the idea in here of technologically throttling the speed of persistently bad drivers who are most likely to kill. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Dealing with this with my own promotional campaign right now. I’m trying to get the word out about an incredible opportunity, but we had to block *all comments* on all of our posts in the meantime because of trolls… and even that was difficult because the way that Meta has removed filtering options.

That block is permanently double and triple parked up. It’s a known issue and I don’t know why nothingβ€˜s been done about it previously. It’s insane.
