It concludes ominously: "Wherever you are, get organized now. Figure out who your likeminded neighbors are. Set up your Signal chats. Get some whistles (I can spare a few if you need them)."

Woke up sick today. Totally on-brand for an article about bandwidth.
New post: What if the capacity I have right now is exactly what I need? What if I stopped searching for MORE bandwidth and just honored what's actually here?

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.
🎨 Shoebox Arts surveyed 60+ artists about today's real challenges—financial struggles, networking barriers, exhibition access issues. Eye-opening findings for artists & art supporters alike.

23 hours in, and Sen. Cory Booker is STILL going strong—speaking from the same podium racist Strom Thurmond used to filibuster civil rights in '57 (24 hrs, 18 mins).
Can't wait for justice when Booker blows past that disgraceful record.
History, meet your redemption.
