Can't argue with this. But still not paying to be here....

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

people ask me why I continue at Twitter where my tweets are viewed by probably less than one dozen people, & responses are limited to even fewer; & why the number of (so-called) followers has been dropping daily for a long time.
short answer: I have a number of old Twitter friends with whom I want to stay in contact; & also, Bluesky seems limited also, as least for me.
still, a few good friends are far more precious than thousands of "friends."

Hadn't planned to write this, but was moved by the moment...

[KC Studio Magazine @KCStudioMag]

Music Review by @sbpaul | The recent collaboration between the gifted pianist @helensung & @bacharia was an inspired move. It also involved the co-sponsorship of @thefollytheater, which scheduled the concert as part of its Folly Jazz Series.

My take on the new Dylan movie.

[KC Studio Magazine @KCStudioMag]

Film Review by @sbpaul | As a slice-of-life biography of cultural giant @bobdylan, director James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” must walk a line, as it were, between two audiences.

Why the f does @kcstar think its readers need to know this tragic news from elsewhere. Your lack of real priorities, a longterm trend, of course, is quite sad these days.
