Ryley Walker loves the Internet Archive.
The singer-songwriter says the Live Music Archive is a “treasure trove that never really stops,” and he welcomes fans and tapers documenting his live shows so people everywhere can hear how his music changes from night to night.

The news woman says:
"... and protests that turned violent ..."
The footage shows a crumpled car with half a dozen bullet holes in the door. The footage shows police holding batons with helmets and body armor walking backwards through the dusty Texas soil. A coordinated maneuver. But they do not show the protestors or their signs, or their voices.
But "it turned violent" we are told.
It seems to me like 'it' turned violent when ICE shot a man in the back.

Trump, his enablers, and his acolytes are grifters and war criminals to the last one.
if this is just an excuse to curtail their runaway cash-burning, this is just straight-up collusion techcrunch.com/2026/09/15/o...
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google have...
Just remember that when you opt into allowing Apple to use your customer data to train AI, that means humans seeing and hearing details about your life that maybe you're not so comfortable sharing when you think of it that way.
The Ponzi schemers have asked to slow down the Ponzi scheme so that... uh, the scheme can go on a little bit longer before people figure out they've been had?
So, this instance shows who unfollows me? Interesting. I just had an "unfollow" from an organization (of which, I agree with probably everything that they post), well, I'm curious as to why they unfollowed me. 🤷♂️
