DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THINGS ARE WHEN JAZZ MUSICIANS DECIDE *NOT* TO SHOW UP FOR A GIG?

Kennedy Center Christmas Eve jazz concert canceled after Trump's name added
A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled, with the host of the longtime annual performance attributing the decision to the addition of Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's name to the institution in Washington.

where he would have died of exposure. The savior cannot be born until someone makes the choice to be compassionate towards him; the innkeeper's decision to find a place anyway is what permits the salvation of the world.

Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

If you’re not willing to engage in a Butlerian Jihad against the Plagiarism Machine, you’ve never actually made anything that mattered
periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

i went to a screening of Brazil at the castro theater and ended up sitting behind NoFX
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

the training mine also still exists! got to see the opening of the main shaft when I toured LBL
Spent the weekend going through family stuff and found some terrific photos of Berkeley from sometime in the 1930s, where my grandparents met as students. My grandfather was a College of Mining grad (the building still exists, the college doesn’t) and on the university polo team - horse, not water!

I would like some of these regulations please thank you
EU vehicle safety regulations have supported a 36% reduction in European road deaths since 2010. By contrast, road deaths in the US over the same period increased 30%, with pedestrian deaths up 80% and cyclist deaths up 50%
