Éliane Radigue in full, uninterrupted motion, is breathtaking in her thoughts. So it’s wonderful that the filmmakers behind the documentary short Échos have put that film up for free to honor her memory this week. Get ready for sprawling shots of the ARP modular synthesizer and deep reflections on the meaning of music, sound, and listener here (all in her native French, with English subtitles). There are scores and outlines and ideas, flowing as if about to tumble over a waterfall. The camera wanders gently as if following along the train of thought. All of it is accompanied by a montage of Radigue compositions. Sc Sc I’ve been thinking a lot about water lately, as always. So I was moved especially by this idea of being inspired by the hydrological cycle and the sea — the Mediterranean Sea, especially — here: “What is a continuous cycle … above all, what is associated with water, is the inner richness of its sound content. This particular universe is what I have always wanted to explore.” There’s a symmetry to that, isn’t there? We commune with that ocean of unknowable infinites in music, even if just bobbing on a wave. And then we

Some members of an elite, super-secretive men’s club based in California wine country have allegedly been leaked — with names ranging from former late-night host Conan O’Brien and billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The membership list of Bohemian Grove — a private, 2,700-acre campground in Sonoma County that hosts an annual two-week retreat and has a clubhouse in San Francisco — was allegedly obtained by an independent journalist and confirmed by a club member, according to the San Francisco Standard. The extensive list of more than 2,000 members in 2023 features the crème de la crème of business, tech, finance — all divided into “camps,” much like fraternities.

Mark Lawrence | February 27, 2026 6:55 am | HARRISBURG — In Northumberland, Montour, Snyder, Union and Columbia counties, a regional recovery network is receiving state funding to reduce stigma around substance use disorder. The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs says the Drop-In Center Recovery Collective will receive up to $29,000. Officials say the collective includes Oasis Community Recovery Club of Shamokin, Walking Free Clubhouse near Middleburg, and New Possibilities Recovery Drop-In Center in Bloomsburg. The funding will support outreach, education, and efforts to promote compassionate, judgment-free care. State officials say the grants are part of the Life Unites Us campaign, which uses community partnerships to encourage treatment and recovery. The program aims to reach young people, parents, veterans, and educators across underserved areas. About The Author  » Read More

Since becoming San Francisco mayor last January, Daniel Lurie has been hustling like an influencer. He makes wonton in the Sunset, slurps pho broth in the Financial District, and takes a bite of an empanada in SoMa, broadcasting each meal to tens of thousands. He grabs his first, second, third, or fourth cup of coffee of the day.  This is, according to the mayor’s office, both a way to show that the mayor is out and about in the city — like Lurie’s mayoral icon, Dianne Feinstein — and part of a persistent effort to rebrand San Francisco as a nice place to live and visit, rather than a cesspool of vice and petty theft.  Lurie spent more money getting elected than any mayoral candidate in San Francisco history. His social media presence, though, has an unproduced, slightly awkward DIY aesthetic developed by Annie Gabillet, who ran social media for Lurie’s campaign before becoming his deputy director of communications. It is Lurie at his most avuncular. It is, for the Gen Z crowd, Lurie as lovable unc.   Daniel Lurie’s staffer Liberty Inocencio taking a video of him during his merchant walk on Clement Street during his mayoral campaign on July

For many older adults, especially those living alone, regular meal delivery makes it possible to stay in their own homes rather than move into assisted living. A significant number of seniors live on fixed incomes. After rent, utilities, medication and transportation, meeting nutritional needs can become an afterthought. Meals on Wheels provides reliable, nutritionally balanced meals to people who might otherwise skip meals or rely on low-cost, low-nutrition options. Because of the critical nature of Meals on Wheels, and because of the long wait list for the program, Cobb County Senior Services, a local provider for Meals on Wheels, will participate in March for Meals, a national month-long awareness campaign led by Meals on Wheels America.  According to a press release from Cobb Senior Services, this year’s campaign focuses on ending the wait for the thousands of seniors waiting for meals and connection nationwide.   “Receiving Meals on Wheels services can be life-changing for a senior who can no longer cook or shop for themselves,” says Ioana Bovo-Nicolescu, Director, Cobb County Senior Services. “However, with the number of older adults in our community growing, we have more seniors turning to us for meals than we have funding to serve. When we receive support from individuals, businesses or other groups, that gift goes directly to provide meals for those who would otherwise remain on the waitlist.”  In addition to meeting the nutritional needs of the recipients, the program also provides much-needed social interaction. “It’s not just

Block, led by CEO Jack Dorsey has announced the most dramatic layoffs in recent times as the company has slashed around 40% jobs which is nearly half of its workforce in a single round of layoffs. From 10,000, the company's workforce has come down to 6,000. “Repeated rounds of layoffs are destructive to morale, focus, and to the trust of customers and shareholders. I’d rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome,” Jack Dorsey wrote in a post on X. According to a letter to shareholders by co-founder Jack Dorsey, "intelligence tools" remain the key reason behind the layoffs. Dorsey thinks most companies will follow suit in the near future. “A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better. And intelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week,” Dorsey wrote. Is the AI doomsday report coming true? The job cuts at Block, the company behind Square, Cash App and Afterpay, come as AI has reshaped jobs across the tech sector and is raising concerns about the future of the job market. Companies like Amazon, Meta

Fintech company Block said Thursday that it’s cutting more than 4,000 workers or nearly half of its workforce as artificial intelligence disrupts the way people work. The Oakland parent company of payment services Square and Cash App saw its stock surge by more than 23% in after-hours trading after making the layoff announcement. Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and head of Block, said in a post on social media site X that the company isn’t make the decision because the company is in financial trouble. “We’re already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company,” he said. Block is the latest tech company to announce massive cuts as employers push workers to use more AI tools to do more with fewer people. Amazon in January said it was laying off 16,000 people as part of effort to remove layers within the company. Block has laid off workers in previous years. In 2025, Block said it planned to slash 931 jobs, or 8% of its workforce, citing performance and strategic issues but Dorsey said at the
