Following a lot of accounts, because I used #skyfollowerbridge to import folks from my x and FB accounts. Hence, the numbers are skewed. For now.

Now that I'm a (sometimes) paid writer, I agree even more.
The leftism leaving people's bodies like cartoon ghosts when people say "artists need to be paid" and "don't steal books."
i have never wanted to make a YouTube video before, but now i want to make one that's basically: Books Are Not Free Content For You, Stop Stealing From Authors, You Scabs.
we are not the enemy.
every dollar folks think they're taking from Amazon, they're taking from authors more.

I hope the turnout is huge.
Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

There's a progressive counter-rally Wed at 5 pm UK time in London, to say no to Trump and to say no to kissing his ass.
This Wednesday, we have a chance to show people that we reject the Trumpification of UK politics. I'll be playing some songs at the rally in Parliament Square. Hope to see you there

Hardly suprising that a story about curly fries has more twists and turns than the typical single food item feature, but the upshot is we now have a better idea of who helped make the potato shape a restaurant favorite. Good work, J.E. Gustin! thefoodsection.com/the-long-and...

Regarding many NY Dems' failure to endorse Mamdani.
Dem congressional leadership is awful. “*Vote blue no matter who”

Again, why would Dem party establishment not want a candidate who generates this kind of excitement with voters? Isn’t this the kind of candidate you dream of?

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Not just NYC? The more liberal candidates are leading in the mayoral Dem primaries of Buffalo and Syracuse, as well.

Two years ago, I saw "The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window" on Broadway in a Sunday afternoon showing. That night, one of the actors I saw won a Tony. That was about 5% of what happened that day.
The 2025 Tony Awards will take place on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern at Radio City Music Hall. Here’s what to expect at Broadway’s biggest night.
