BEYOND THE PAGE 📖🪩🔥 Most authors write stories. I gave them a voice beyond the page. For the first time ever, every book in the Survival in New York series has its own titular anthem — and pivotal scenes are brought to life through a cinematic soundtrack directly inspired by the prose. Cinnamon — a character born from the pages, brought to life through AI-powered vocals by @sunomusic narrating the protagonist’s journey one song at a time. This has never been done before. Books. Music. One story. 📖 Survival in New York: A Gay Man’s Journey — available now on @amazon @barnesandnoble Book 5: ‘WHAT’S LEFT,’ the series finale, drops 3.28. amazon.com/Survival-in-New-Y… barnesandnoble.com/s/"Damo… 🎵 Damon Gonzalez feat.

Need MAGA to explain to the rest of us with brain cells how giving Iran $300 Billion is different or somehow better than giving Iran $1.7 Billion? Explain it to us like we're at a @EricTrump level of intelligence.

HEGSETH: “The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” BRENNAN: “(Obama’s Iran Deal) said that too.” 🎯 HEGSETH: “The difference is we did this from a position of strength.” 🤡 (TRANSLATION: this was an unnecessary, costly war that accomplished nothing)

Friends— If you haven’t read the @nytimes 🚨‼️Bombshell Report🚨‼️on the Epstein Cover Up in the White House, it’s a MUST READ for your weekend reading list! Article Below—nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magaz…

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

By stepping out of your comfort zone, you reveal your true self. Just M.E. is streaming everywhere now. The project features 14 original songs that flow from down-tempo R&B house and mid-tempo melodic house to up-tempo deep house. It’s intentionally a little raw and messy—a conceptual electronic, AI-digital mixtape that blurs the lines between human emotion and synthesized sound. Lyrics by Damon Gonzalez Vocals by Damon Gonzalez (aka M.E.)

It’s nearly impossible for creative people to earn a living. Also getting a non-creative job at age 50 is also nearly impossible. Corporate oligarchs control everything.

Why is Trump going to this game?! He’s ruining it for so many people. I hope my New Yorkers boo the fuck out of him.

I CAN’T DESCRIBE WHAT DANCETERIA DID TO MEEE I’M CRYING

Quentin Tarantino slams Hollywood as a "flavorless sausage factory" where miscast actors and "audience pandering" are ruining new movies. “Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers or just plain stupid s*it usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavorless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood. These days, the entire concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity... I’ve seen movies I liked since – ‘West Side Story’ (2021); ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ Chapter 1 and 2 (both 2024), a few others, but nothing that really held me in its grip and swept me away to the magical land of enjoyment that I use to visit regularly and was the reason I loved movies above all other artforms. These days I’d rather read a book." (via Sight & Sound) variety.com/2026/film/news/q…

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy nytimes.com/live/2026/05/21/…

This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community. Today I called for EPA and Congressional investigations into the impact of data center construction on local drinking water supplies. We cannot take water for granted.

I’ve started using my own voice…on a handful of tracks..M.E. is me…(Machine Enhanced). Very enhanced but sounds cool. A human/ai hybrid. open.spotify.com/album/7HT6T…

Only 2 days until the book is officially here! I wrote The Espresso Affair and the tracks for the Cinnamon After Dark EP months ago. You already have the music, and now I am so excited to finally share the story behind it. While the book is fictional, it’s inspired by real people—myself included. It asks a deeply relatable question: are you willing to risk losing everything for someone you hardly know, but have undeniable feelings for? Most people choose to stay in their comfort zones, but some cross the line. Others try to ignore their feelings, even though those emotions are very much real. I’m sure so many of you will relate to this journey (gay or straight)! Available for purchase on amazon and barnes&noble.com. #gaybooks #queerstories #lgbtqreads #romancebookstagram #beachread

I don't want self-driving cars. I don't want humanoid robots. I don’t want AI in every app I use. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want a habitable planet.
