What an amazing cast gift for our Fiddler opening. We’ve been having an amazing run at La Mirada. So grateful to finally play this role. As we sing, “L’chaim”!

If you want Bluesky to have a lot of energy (and have more news folks) you have to start following a lot of them, so that you can create a lot of discussions and cross-pollination, so to speak. Threads hates engagement, and X has drowned it in trolls.

I'm not plumping for the already-big accounts, just trying to spread around the connections. Also, many of the RFT social media fam are here, and by definition they're worth a follow, including @thomastell.bsky.social, who is head of security and phasers people who bring up the Fairness Doctrine.

"Generation Jones is a term for people born between 1954 and 1965, who are considered a distinct generation between the Baby Boomers and Generation X" I will die on this hill.

I was born in 1958 ("Generation Jones") on Long Island, NY. I currently live in Upstate NY, but previously lived in NC, WI, and MA. I'm here because this seems to be where people I "follow" on Twitter (which I haven't been on in over a year, but still have my account) are migrating to.
