The Future of Touring Is in Latin America Artists are looking past the U.S. and betting big on Latin America as they chase live music’s next wave.

Persecuted for being LGBTQ+ in Trump country, they now have a chance to start over someplace new Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are fighting persecution by offering loans to those who need to flee,

Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH.

β€œThe idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”

I don't see posts from people I know very often. Mainly just people I follow that I don't know or random stuff that shows up via the algorithm.

I don't think that any restaurant should be allowed to refer to any of their dishes as "world famous".

The next time I'm in Central Asia I'm going to ask people if they've heard of your shrimp and grits and if they have not you should comp me.

As an American abroad, I gott say that this is dumb. Just be yourself and let people decide what they think about you based on your personal actions and presentations. Nearly everyone knows that the people of countries are different than those that hold the power.

I recommend Atomic Pinball in Wood River Illinois (outside of St. Louis) as a good place to flip. They have about 75 well maintained machines and it's BYOB.

Got my first pinball win of 2025 on Friday, my first ever outside of NC. 26 person knockout tournament. Won it with a 40M ball 3 on Tron. But my best moment was a couple rounds earlier with 2 royal flushes on Alien Poker as that machine and I usually don't get along.

I don't agree with what the State Department is doing, but if I was non-binary and applying for a passport right now I would tick whatever box gets results. Being trans right now with no passport is just too dangerous.

I have a hard time seeing that as an endorsement. To me it reads a criticism that is geared more heavily towards Dems than Reps which is not the sam thing as an endorsement.
