What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Nurses are the most trusted profession in the country. Why? Because we're not afraid to speak up for the truth!

We're on day ✌in Washington, D.C. speaking out against a rigged society that benefits the 1%, while the working class are squeezed more and more.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

In case you hadn’t heard about it, this dude recorded thousands of Chicago area live shows over many years and has donated them to the Internet Archive. They’ve been processed to sound great. It’s like a time capsule of live music.
