When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

This handshake says a hell of a lot. Giuliani said Mamdani shouldn’t even be at Ground Zero. Today, Mamdani walked up and shook his hand. That’s leadership. 📌 Mamdani released 170K+ pages exposing what NYC officials knew about the toxic air after 9/11, including during Giuliani’s administration.

Keeping an eye on NOAA for Hurricane Lowell updates; it looks like we're going to catch 40mph winds around 2pm tomorrow in Kaua'i County. Everybody stay safe!

Overnight Lowell moved closer, putting us into the purple zone. We're getting some wind right now; have lost most of a very old lemon tree plus branches from some others.

The reason not to call AI "clankers" is not because you'll hurt the AI's feelings (they don't have those) but because it reveals you to be the kind of person who will use a slur if you think you can get away with it. Your minoritized friends will see it and note it.

"The Log Cabin Republicans officially abandoned the transgender community, pulling the ladder of progress and support that benefited its members up behind themselves." The group's website now says "America's oldest and largest organization for LGB conservatives and our straight allies." No "T."

“Dolly Parton had severe Endometriosis. She was unable to have children of her own because of it. Her Imagination Library that has given away hundreds of millions of books to millions of children was her way of taking care of the babies.”

The Trump administration is demolishing the US's shell company registry --and destroying all of the data it had *already* collected. This will make it much harder to enforce money-laundering and other anti-corruption laws. bsky.app/profile/sean...

We passed this law - and make no mistake, it is a law, not just an option for the Treasury department to interpret - to ensure people wouldn't hide their identities in nests of LLCs to launder money. Treasury is protecting criminals with this action. home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!
