👏👏👏 WTG, Spain!

I am the "T" in LGBTQIA, and the hateful choices by this administration won't undo that fact. Transfolk have been around for millennia. If humans survive that long, we'll be here for millennia more.

NPR @npr.org , please show me you still have a spine. This headline is yellow-bellied *trash* Your federal funding is gone, so what's your excuse for supporting the ridiculous, unfounded assertions made at the dog and pony show this week?

😕

I never took mych notice of Kimmel until he was spending time in his monologs talking about healthcare coverage/access - I sure appreciated him doing so.

"The US Bill of Priveleges" youtube.com/shorts/5qbZ8...

Worst headline ever? This sounds like price fixing, not a repair of pricing (to bring down costs). 🙄

As I recall, Biden was hanged in effigy by the J6ers... am I wrong in that memory?

👏👏👏

Fresh Air might be my favorite radio show. Going to listen to this tonight - the fragment I heard was discussing loneliness, and I want to hear the whole show. Tomorrow, a discussion of the 1st Amendment w former editor of WaPo, and a lawyer who does various things w NYT.

Look who just joined me at the picnic table. My memory doesn't recall them being such a dark green.

My interest is piqued. 😊

Getting the biggest kick out of this - and laughing at myself, too, bc I've been thinking about changing some dooors with sliding "barn doors" - would take less floor space to open in these small rooms. youtube.com/shorts/cObe-...

Cribbage, beer, and snacks at a semi-local brewpub tomorrow. Not sure I'll have enough energy this week, but they've got Hefeweizen, and some dark ales... I'll drop them a line and tell them I hope they keep the games running.

Breaking: Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning so there will be six more years of no rapture.

😆🤣😁😜😆

🤔 Hunh, there's still a use for Schumer.

4 days left to the week — with 1 in-person and 3 Zoom appointments over them. I don't want to keep 3 calendars (already have 1 for work, 1 personal), but I swear I'm going to start keeping a paper one again just so I can stop being so myopic about scheduling. Weeks like this happen all too often.

Looking like a lovely day coming up there in the Whites. So much for the promised rain as far as today goes. Just as well, I can sit at my picnic table this afternoon for my Zoom appointment. youtube.com/live/wp0AetB...

I think of the brilliant Americana/Rock&Roller musician Tommy Womack every time "those" people designate a day such as today. Tommy's Dad was a Baptist minister, he comes by cheeky stuff like this quite honestly. youtube.com/watch?v=3Lj2...

Hey! @briantylercohen.bsky.social ! I don't hear any "RAGE at Trump" here - I hear blaming China, and the soybean folks begging POTUS for a bailout, as if this president didn't cause the upset in trade. C'mon, headlines shouldn't difficult to get right... youtube.com/shorts/oUVKU...

I'd like to see this. Think I'll write the nonprofit theatre in the caputal city, see if it's on their radar, or if they think it's too political.

i miss science.

Was hoping pressure from the talent side combined with financial pressure from the consumer side would have an impact. Not sure I'll go back right away, though. I'll bs waiting to see what twists will play out - I don't trust the Disney conglomerate to be hands off around independence/creativity.

As a whole, Fk SCOTUS.

My, how I love strings ♥️🎶🎵🎶♥️ What a workout, too youtube.com/shorts/_vq_6...

I don't usually go for gimmicky stuff, but I'd be a sucker for this, if providing the CO2 wasn't a nuisance. youtube.com/shorts/K7eoo...

I'm in awe. youtube.com/watch?v=efz5...

2/4 Management is testing whether federal employees will follow unlawful and unethical orders. Some supervisors enforced it immediately without question. That cannot happen again. Enforcing unlawful orders is breaking the law yourself.

It'd be fun to see Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" further broken down by city - bet Boston would skew all age groups upward 😁

Today’s “One First” looks at the status of the birthright citizenship cases—and their broader lessons for what we miss when we ignore the cases in which the Trump administration is both (1) losing; and (2) *not* seeking emergency/expedited appellate relief. It turns out that those are the majority:

Wordle 1,556 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Whole lot of grey boxes today, but the Wordlbot gave me good numbers for skill, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

A violent storm may have sent two baby pterosaurs spiraling to their deaths in a lagoon about 150 million years ago, new analysis of the astonishingly well-preserved fossils suggests. The research offers fresh clues on an enduring mystery about the site where they were found: https://cnn.it/4mLKg1b

Is it actually going to rain this week, or is "AccuWeather" just pretending again,?

So. Speaking of pills, I need to fill pillboxes. Haven't taken anything while I've been trying to sleep away this virus. And I should do another Covid swab to confirm the negative result I got Thursday - want to try going back to work at least a half day tomorrow.

Competitive tag - who knew? I'd buy a ticket to an afternoon of this - amazing athleticism here. youtube.com/shorts/Tc6W1...

Not a big fan of Harvard, but I'd probably root for anyone 47 was trying to crush.

The lack of an algorithm is a big, big reason the majority of my "social media time" is spent here on @bsky.app - to the point that I wish there was a way to directly support the platform, as I have MoJo.

Oh, George, I sure miss you. Description of this Short: "🎥: George Carlin, What Am I Doing in New Jersey (1988)" youtube.com/shorts/DTATe...

The headline here of 19k head of cattle dying in an explosion is horrific, yes, but what terrifies me is at ~33 seconds in where they talk about games being played with labeling. youtube.com/shorts/f_8qv...
