Mahoning County has been pretty reliably union Democrat since the 1930s until very recently. This would be a much-needed swing back to the norm.

Spiders hold the worst record ever. I like the name, but I think something to do more with the city, the lake, or Rock & Roll would have been better

Well here's a delightful treat I wasn't expecting in time for the weekend! Pre-ordering books is fun because you are sending future-You little presents! #AnnaleeNewitz #Booksky #scifi @annaleen.bsky.social
the new book by Annalee Newitz, "A Wall is Also a Road" features a picture that looks like a mosaic, with the profile of a face in the middle of a series of swirls and tentacles forming a neo-Art Deco style image. The title is in orange and the other colors of the cover are related, muted Autumnal colors. The book sits on an orange pillow

45 years ago today, I saw Peter, Paul & Mary as my first-ever concert (though not the first that I bought tickets for, that would be Billy Joel, 8 years later) #concerts #peter,paul&mary

I agree, as an American, though looking at the rightward shift much of the rest of the world is exhibiting, it may not have mattered.

There is only one rock n roll song and it's Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley. Every other piece of Rock music is just further iterating on Bo Diddley.

If you worked every single day, making $5000/day, from the time Columbus sailed to America, to the time you are reading this tweet, you would still not be a billionaire, and you would still have less money than Jeff Bezos makes in a week. No one works for a billion dollars.

An elderly Japanese-American gentleman in black poses with a middle-aged Irish-American man wearing an art deco inspired scifi shirt (very colorful). They hold a signed book between them and stand in front of a banner that reads, "STAN SAKAI." They are behind a table with an assortment of pens and sketchbooks open on it.
