Rachel Entrekin just won the Cocodona 250-mile race in Arizona, beating all males and females. A superhuman effort ignored by the U.S. media, because American culture has a long history of overlooking the achievements of women and minorities when they outperform men. Congratulations, Rachel.

The latest overhaul of federal land rules was pushed through without any studies to support the changes. This is the kind of reckless, shoot-from-the-hip governing that creates messes future administrations will be left to clean up. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/c...

The old tree stump at Cumberland State Park still has some heart left in it.

"It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce people to ignorance and vice, for they cannot live in a country where virtue and knowledge prevail." Samuel Adams

Thank you Bruce.

This song is just as relevant today as it was in 1982 if not more so. In many ways, the issues it speaks to have only deepened in the years since, reflecting how little has changed, or how much further things have declined in the United States. youtu.be/KbbSXFtMFT4?...

Goodell's tenure has been defined by a series of high-profile failures. His mishandling of domestic abuse cases, officiating has declined steadily, and now the handling of female officials reflects poorly on the NFL as a whole. He needs to retire. www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-n...

I followed Skatteboo in college and kind of got the feeling he was an idiot. This article proves that I was right. touchdownwire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

It’s remarkable that this war traces back years to when this administration dismantled a functioning peace agreement simply because it had been negotiated under Obama. The lives lost yesterday and today are, in part, the result of a president unwilling to accept the success of his predecessor.

The photo-finish image of Nazgul the dog crossing the line at the women’s cross-country race is, without question, my favorite picture from the Winter Olympics. #olympics

Wow.

Don’t worry, Gallup will magically reappear once there’s a Democratic president. Guess polling is too scary for them at the moment. thehill.com/homenews/med...

This made me ugly cry 😭 I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another. But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔

Made the most of the beautiful day at Mount Van Hoevenberg with some cross-country skiing before the Empire State Games roll in this weekend.

It reminds me of when rock groups stopped playing in South Africa in the 1980s. It’s a sad time to be living in America. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

If we only had a way of knowing why Lake Champlain is freezing over completely less and less each decade? 🤔

Enlightening read.

Fun day with Drax outside in the snow.

Why does it always seem like NBA coaches are the ones willing to speak on issues beyond basketball and show real compassion? They feel like a different breed compared to coaches in other sports. #NBA

Loved this article about what happened after the Pats game. It was a nice, temporary distraction from the insanity in this country and from people needlessly dying because of an out-of-control government. #Patriots www.masslive.com/patriots/202...

MVP move by Drake Maye. www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/25/h...

It was like watching a game in a snow globe last night. #Patriots

I remember listening to “Your Love” by The Outfield when I was younger and never thinking much of it, but it’s always a fun to sing along to at a Patriots game. Had a blast seeing Drake in his first playoff game. #Patriots

Skiing in the clouds today at Whiteface Mountain.

I’ve never thought of myself as a sentimental person, but it was always nice to see a president do things like this and watch the kids and adults genuinely enjoy it.

The Pats have only had one game since the bye, and somehow the defense has turned into a physician’s nightmare. #Patriots

Rob Reiner: "Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Hard NO. #patriots www.si.com/nfl/patriots...

Will Campbell’s injury might not be as serious as I initially feared. It looks to be a sprained MCL, and if it’s a grade 1 or 2 sprain, he should be able to return before the end of the regular season. 🤞 #patriots #nfl www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/new-e...

John Oliver is a complete badass for launching that auction to support public broadcasting at a time when it’s needed most. The Bob Ross paintings he obtained from PBS has already climbed past a million dollars. #lastweektonightwithjohnoliver e.givesmart.com/events/LYw/i/

Guess the Pats don't have to game plan for him now. #patriots

I like how the veterans look out for the rookies. #patriots youtube.com/shorts/IV8Vv...

Respect 👊🏾 “19 Buddhist monks and their loyal dog Aloka on a 2.3K mile ‘Walk for Peace’ across America. Watch as a simple act of walking becomes a living invitation: may every heart find rest, may peace walk with us.” See comments for info on how to support…

Artillery ranges exist all across the U.S., so there’s no reason to establish one in the Adirondack Park. www.adirondackexplorer.org/community-ne...

We lucked out in northern New York tonight since the northern lights came out.

Watched the video several times, and you can see Hawkins 11 yards off the ball clap twice, to get Carlton Davis’s attention, before making a quick hand gesture. I'm assuming he is signaling a coverage change. It is a BS claim if the Falcons are referring to this. www.patspulpit.com/new-england-...

This article made me laugh. The last time the Pats did this was back in 2002, and it didn’t go quite as planned with reintroducing the introductions yesterday. I’ve always liked the team introduction, but since they’re winning, I don’t really mind the change. #patriots www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Holy Moses....I missed this during the game.

Wisdom from Schoolhouse Rock.

I remember watching The Last Chase as a kid and thinking how wild that story was and now I’m wondering if I should build a race car myself.

Something Patriot fans haven't seen in awhile. Thanks Atlanta. #NEPatriots

What do you think of the Patriots’ all-white uniforms for their game against the Saints? Personally, I’m not a fan.

This is a travesty. PBS shouldn’t have to resort to this just to stay funded. It’s a reflection of a government that no longer values programs that serve the public good. www.pbs.org/newshour/art...

These two showed up near my place this morning and stuck around long enough for some pictures. Watching them absolutely made my day.

Nice to see the Pats are stepping it up each week and what a show last night by Diggs. youtu.be/TYFTdddvOCw?...

Well this hits hard.

In 2004, Green Day highlighted America’s decline, while politicians either failed to recognize the problems or chose to ignore them. Even Frank Zappa noted the issues in 1984. Maybe it's time that we start listening to artist for guidance instead of politicians. youtu.be/Ee_uujKuJMI?...

Took Drax on a birthday hike up Rattlesnake Mountain today. Beautiful day in the Adirondacks. AI birthday hat for him since he would never tolerate a real one on his head.

So an anti ICE sniper shoots detainees to show that they are anti ICE? How does that even make sense. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the shooter isn't anti ICE but wanted to portray he or she was. www.bbc.com/news/live/c4...

Another 30% rate hike to upgrade NYSEG’s infrastructure must be rejected. We already absorbed about a 30% increase over the past year and a half. NYSEG should have been investing in infrastructure all along instead of simply taking profits from the already high rates we pay.
