The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.

This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.

Please boost and share.

I know I'm a broken record, but I'm going to keep on saying it - your campfire and fireworks this weekend are not worth the chance of starting a fire in these conditions. It's hot, it's dry, it's windy, and the gorge is already burning.

Stop worshipping billionaires.

Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

could have spent a full year spitballing how musk was going to kill Twitter and couldn’t have come up with anything close to the unbelievable dipshittery of “users can only read 600 tweets a day” like, what do they put in billionaire cocaine anyway

Welcome new twitter expats!

I know for a lot of you this is a temporary migration, and you'll head back once they fix the problems.

But before you go back to twitter, take this thought with you: the owners of twitter don't just push their agendas at you. You already know that, and probably think it doesn't affect you. But what you don't see is how much stuff is gone there now. You don't see who's gone, or what views aren't there anymore

@mmasnick it seems Elon is hard at work destroying what was once a very useful platform. Sad, if not maddening.

If Plan A was MAGA people paying for a blue check to save Twitter, Plan B should be Elon’s next epic implosion in social-mediaverse.
