Ryn @thatryn.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I have been subjected to an ad that begins "Like many of us, this year I'm trying to live more whimsically" and WHAT?

Ryn @thatryn.bsky.social · 25/01/2026In 2025, the Trump administration cut 100% of federal funding for public radio and TV stations, which produce the majority of local news. It's a way for the government to control what gets reported. Minneapolis shows what lies they'll tell.
