Very excited to be seeing my favorite author, @minjinlee.bsky.social, speak about her new novel, American Hagwon tonight in NYC. Can't wait to start reading it after the event as well. #booksky.

Up next. Saw @tommcraemusic.bsky.social mention this so picked it up. Coincidentally, I read Flaubert's Un Coeur Simple (A Simple Heart) just a few weeks ago and had no idea of the connection until I started reading. My first Julian Barnes. ##booksky #julianbarnes.

Absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Glen Hansard. An amazing songwriter. Have seen so many shows over the years from his days leading the Frames, through Once and Swell Season and then his solo work. www.independent.ie/irish-news/o...

Stumbled upon this fascinating obituary of Herbert Lust in the @nytimes.com. An accidental art collector, whose passions were ignited by a Keats poem, and friend to major artists. What a life! Herbert Lust, Collector Who Befriended Giacometti, Dies at 99 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/a...

As a Greek, and music fan, I love this. Album sounds great also. Love the mix of Byzantine music with metal and EDM sounds. From the Altar to the Alt-Scene: A Greek Priest’s Drone Metal Debut www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/a...

I have been wondering what the societal effect has been of people not reading paper newspapers on mass transit anymore. How many would learn about an event from reading a headline off the paper of the person sitting across or next to you on the train or bus. 1/2

More art should be sold via raffles instead of sold at auction. Allows anyone the chance to own it instead of just super rich people.

Awaken at 3am only to see U2 dropped a new EP, Easter Lily. Just listened to it and am close to tears. This has found me at a moment when my soul really needed it. Thank you, #U2.

Sad to see so many #ARMY miss out on tickets to see BTS. I have had a membership for years now for my ARMY 14 yo daughter and was unable to get her tickets to the NJ shows. Will hawkishly try to get before August somehow (not paying reseller prices) but the tickets sale process is broken. #btstour.

Midnight Oil's music was a huge inspiration in my life and Rob Hirst's lyrics and drumming was a huge part of it. Devastated at this loss. Rest in power, Rob. #riprobhirst www.billboard.com/music/music-...

I dont want Bruce Blakeman to be Governor but am not sure i could vote for @governor.ny.gov because of her constant shilling of congestion pricing, which hurts the non gentrified outer boroughs. It's not a progressive policy.

Been taking my daughter to a lot of kpop shows over the last few years, which have caused to love a lot of these groups, and 2026 has the potential of seeing BTS, Twice (this is happening!), Stray Kids, and a 20th anniversary Big Bang tour! This would be epic!

I just went to load my Metrocard one more time at Pelham Bay Park and the machine has apparently been shut down for a few days already. What is the deal with that, @mta.info ?

So my #spotifywrapped is basically 13,000 minutes of podcasts which is mostly putting one on, falling asleep immediately, waking 5 hours later and realizing it is 5 episodes deep and turning it off. Did that about 100 times this year.

I never thought I would cry at a Dream Theater show but, 3 weeks after my father passed away, the last 2 verses of A Change of Seasons really hit hard last night as they closed out their show at the Nassau Colisuem in NY.

I wish more things like this were done via raffle so regular people have a chance at one instead of these just ending up in some rich person's home. I know there may be tax reasons, etc but it seems wrong that the paintings from a public television show get privatized in this manner.

I have seen a LOT of concerts in my life, and have seen Oasis a lot of times in the past (they've always been one of my favorite bands) but ##oasislive25 last night at MetLife Stadium may have been the best concert I've ever been to in my life. Truly biblical.
