It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Looks like Ghost costs money...$9/month. I'm already paying for my Wordpress and domain hosting etc. I had tried Medium but didn't like paying so much and not getting anything back. My whole point in seeking out these platforms was for the monetization, but it feels like I'm paying them instead.

Considering moving from Substack to Ghost for a number of reasons. Is there a way to still follow Substack or Medium blogs via RSS or some other means?

Ok - According to video comments Nick Cave does not support boycotting Israel or sanctions and still performs in Tel Aviv. That is disappointing.

Without listening to this recording describing violence...what did Nick Cave say or do?

My son has been gaming at Silver King and we've never noticed issues or bad vibes. There are women/moms in his game group and the guys are all gentlemen. If there have been negative stories I would be surprised.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

So there's a trailer out for a Lestat film. I didn't think it possible to like a depiction less than the Tom Cruise one. Brash, gratuitous, sloppy... not a shred of elegance in anything.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under absolutely no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you choose to spend the entire weekend drinking tea, reading books, and eating a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Actually NPR had been a military industrial complex love fest throughout the Afghan war, it was ridiculous.

Pretty much same. They couldn't be critical of Trump v1 but they aired all the Republican criticism during the Obama years.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids
