Beautiful! #Yankees

Piles of trash left outside State Farm Stadium after The Memorial. Reminds me of the human crush in the DC metro that trampled toddlers after one of those fetal rights marches.

I didn't have a hard time canceling Prime - I hadn't even been aware I "signed up" until I saw the charge. Grrr. Why aren't they compensating people they duped like FB has to?

Got this in an email last week. Good stuff. Couldn't help noticing that Google/YouTube doesn't include a direct share to BSKY though. youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?...

I'm no military expert but gathering hundreds of military decision-makers in one place doesn't sound like a good idea. www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth...

Go Grijalva!!

Anyone else notice the Cyrilic (Russian) bots on BSKY today?

What RFK Jr. is doing is a betrayal of science and a betrayal of trust. Here's why.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov Please do what you can to persuade the House to include ACA subsidies in the budget bill. Surely some of the Rs in the AZ delegation have constituents who need these! (My own Rep, Schweikert, voted to kill ACA every time it came up.) #ACA

This is a huge deal, folks. If the Republican version of the spending bill goes through, those of us who get our health insurance through ACA/Obamacare will lose the subsidies that make getting insurance possible. I'm one of them - this is personal! www.cnbc.com/2025/09/10/a... #ACA

The Copper Courier also reports that women at the Eloy, AZ, ICE detention center are being given used underwear, which in turn is giving them UTIs. #ICE coppercourier.com/2025/09/11/l...

A leukemia patient whose permanent residency was rescinded by a court (she has no criminal record) is being denied proper treatment at the Eloy (AZ) ICE detention center. Instead, she is being treated for ... stomach ulcers. #ICE coppercourier.com/2025/09/11/l...

President Trump and members of his administration have been publicly musing about punishing people who have said insensitive, provocative or hateful things about Charlie Kirk's death. Here is what the law says.

Will Kash take credit for this dumbass move? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

I'm getting $34.48 from the Facebook settlement. Woo-hoo! (I finally left it earlier this year.) I do wonder how they know my PayPal account details. 🤔

"Leo XIV questioned the disproportionate difference in the incomes of CEOs and those of their workers, and challenged the extreme wealth of billionaires – and trillionaires. 'What does that mean and what's that about? If that is the only thing that has value anymore, then we're in big trouble.'"

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

Kirk's murderer "was listed in Utah voting records as unaffiliated with a political party..." So are the Crazy Right going to blame Independents? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/u...

Is criticizing the victim of an assassination - or refusing to lionize them - "celebrating" it? I don't think so. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/u...

Saw this in the NYT comments about today's piece by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social - www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

Can you guess who said this? Hint: he loved violence and was murdered.

I couldn't help noticing that Charlie Kirk was giving a snarky reply to a question about gun violence when he was shot. ("Gun violence or gang violence?") Also, two people were shot at a Colorado high school yesterday; the shooter killed (him?)self. Yawn, that's not news. #Shootings 🥱

Trump’s America: where tax shelters get a pass, but working families get the bill.

What a f'ing pig. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u... #EpsteinFiles

A former Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to shut down the engines of a plane while it was in flight, two days after he took psychedelic mushrooms, expressed regret to passengers and thanked crew members who had stopped him as he pleaded guilty or no contest on Friday to state and federal charges.

@ny-yankees.bsky.social Seems like Jazz gets more than his share of terrible balls & strike calls. Glad to see he's ok, though, and back in the game. #JazzChisholmJr

As my friend @vwaldnyc.bsky.social commented earlier this year, reading the paper (NYT) is like doomscrolling.

Got my flu vaccine this week at a pharmacy. Asked about the COVID one, which was listed at the counter. Pharmacist: "We haven't received clear guidance on this." #Vaccines

RFK Jr. needs to go. He's killing us.

Kim also took his daughter to the Olympics. Kim Jong-un Brings a Guest to Beijing: His Daughter and Potential Heir www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w... #NorthKorea

@ny-yankees.bsky.social Is Amed Rosario the official greeter for home run hitters? I love his smile and enthusiasm. Hope to see him on the field! ⚾ #Yankees

Notably, @gabbygiffords.bsky.social resigned her House seat in 2012 to focus on her recovery after she was shot a year earlier. #Fetterman #Senate www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Thanks Harvard, for taking a stand. Perhaps we should all stand together….

A similar nightmare in DC in the 1980s: a young unmarried woman with cancer asked for a 2nd term abortion to improve her chances to live. Hospital employee called the local antichoice group which got a Guardian ad Litem for the fetus. Neither survived. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o... #abortionrights

Just as I read that the FAA is cancelling an independent panel investigating air traffic control, this happens... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u... #FAA #FlightSafety

Sleepy Don! It was always a projection.

Ms. Öztürk was detained for co-authoring a nonthreatening letter to the Tufts student paper criticizing the U's response to protests about the war in Gaza. But she was studying on a student visa and was abducted and later arrested by ICE on 3/25/25. So much for Equal Protection. Who's next? #Ozturk

I am in the Phoenix area and I'm very surprised to read that the Cardinals are balancing the NFL draft with selecting a pope? They haven't even been to the playoffs since what, 2021?

House Rep. Gerry Connolly is pushing CDC leadership to explain why the personnel who handle FOIA requests lost their jobs, noting that that the public has a right to access federal records.

Do you take any prescriptions that originate with Glenmark? 24 such scripts - including Pravastatin in 20 and 80 mg - have been recalled. Thanks to @propublica.org for uncovering this, just as Pres Trusk wants to cut FDA overseas inspections. www.propublica.org/article/glen... #RxRecalls

Sen.Chris Van Hollen accuses Trump of defying the courts. Uh, yeah. Where are the other Senators? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04... #DemocracyisDying

A new Exec Order (still in draft?) calls for more "overhauls" to the State Department which includes cutting offices that promote democracy and human rights. That sounds about right for this Administration. Democracy? Bah! We're a dictatorship now! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u... #DemocracyisDying

Support any institution or nonprofit that comes under attack by the White House.

My own Rep, #DavidSchweikert, hasn't held a town hall for some time. Guess which party he's with? #TownHalls www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

I was surprised to learn that handymen in Arizona cannot charge more than $1,000 for a job. Anything more than that, they need a license, just like plumbers and electricians. Remember this next time you get an estimate for minor work. #handyman www.nextinsurance.com/blog/arizona...
