Glad to see this @wired.com guide on high quality masks! A KN95 can help protect you and your loved ones from COVID-19 and other airborne viruses, especially during this busy travel season. I only wish Wired wrote about the pandemic in the present tense 🙏😷

Sometimes #communityradio means staying up a little too late trying to figure out the best way to leverage #GivingTuesday to help WRIR, your Community Radio Station. Because we’re all volunteer & there’s no marketing committee right now. And I am not a wordsmith.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I need someone to send $868 to WRIR so that I can have a nice round number in our bank accounts.
Wait I probably need $894 to account for fees. Someone with #AdultMoney who loves #weirdmusic, #localmusic, #worldmusic, #communityradio.

The alleged DJT/Bill Clinton blow job bombshell is indeed a surprise in its own way, true or not, but can we please keep the focus on the paedophile rape island thing not the consensual sex act between two adults thing? Fucking hell, people.

My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

If Trump has nothing to hide, he'd tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein Files like they all promised.
Mike Johnson would have sworn in Adelita Grijalva yesterday.
Ghislaine Maxwell would be sent back to Florida prison instead of being pampered in Club Fed in Texas.
And...
He's guilty as hell.

I guess I’m glad my furnace stopped working NOW and not later in the season when it’s even colder. Also glad I have a few space heaters.

Hey @kaine.senate.gov You should listen to what @aoc.bsky.social is saying here. I’m one of YOUR constituents, but SHE is doing a better job representing my interests.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today I decided to say hi to @noahscalin.bsky.social when I was on my way to work. Totally forgetting that I had a motorcycle helmet and sun visor covering my face, was layered up in my heavy moto jacket, and was yelling hello from a scooter in the middle of the street. So… totally out of context.
