MattGrant One Word.

I'm starting a new heavy metal band called "With the Aspirins and the Advils and the Others."

@alamodrafthouse.bsky.social Just had my first Alamo Experience in the DC area. It was the best movie experience I've had in years. The programming,the staff...the decor and the food offerings.... incredible. What can we do to get a Drafthouse in New Haven, CT? A Regal just closed, perfect location!

This is the last push to reach my bike riding fundraising goal to support Smilow & the work they do supporting families during their cancer battle! Training is going well & I'm excited for my first ride on September 6th to support this great cause! Thank You! www.rideclosertofree.org/participant/...

Statement from Save VOA following mass termination of personal service contractors #SaveVOA

Following the mass termination of personal service contractors, VOA director @abramowitz.bsky.social said he finds "this action inexplicable, and to my knowledge no rationale has been provided by USAGM for this decision".

This is quite sad. I grew up listening to VOA and BBC on short wave radio. When bad stuff was happening in Bangladesh these two were the only sources of good information. We depended on the VOA. Sad to see what is happening to it. A lot of goodwill will die with the VOA.

On May 4, our Save VOA account on X was mistakenly flagged as “inauthentic,” but today we’ve regained access.
Save VOA are genuine accounts run by volunteers who want to #SaveVOA. And we need your support too! Please contact your reps and ask them to keep VOA alive!

On @theguardian.com : “I never in a million years thought I would have to fight for freedom of the press in the United States of America. And yet here we are,” says Patsy Widakuswara, VOA's White House bureau chief.

We would love nothing more than to follow the White House pool rotation schedule and serve as President Trump's radio 📻 pooler this week, but sadly USAGM is still banning us from returning to work.

Thank you Dan for saying what I've said for a long time..."Doggo" and "kiddos" Ugh. I have no idea why using those words bothers me the way it does but it absolutely does. As a parent, I hear parents call their kids kiddos all the time in various parenting groups and 👎🏻

Everyone in charge of climate policy will likely be dead before it's a "real issue" so they don't care.
Plot twist....it's already a real issue, they just don't have to personally deal with it.

@dansavage.bsky.social I have no idea how I earned a follow from you, but I'm flattered, and will do my best to earn it.
Also, if it was a "butt dial style" butt follow, I won't be offended. 😂
Love the show, love the column, love you. Thank you for everything you do, and for all you've taught me!

The songs were Soooo good. Thanks for sharing (and for everyone who created them!) 🫏
Yes ...that's a donkey emoji.

The rank stupidity is staggering. Can you imagine how all the people who worked so hard for these vaccines, people who's family members died before they were available...how they would all react if shown a snapshot of how thoughtless and stupid we have collectively become?

Excellent choice of music too. Happy holidays to you and your family!

It's really a great intro to the band. Lol. So cool they played it for you.

How was it?!

Yasssssssss!!!!!!!!!

Very cool! Mine is pretty boring. It's just a rectangle, but it also works for snow.
