@o2bnobx.bsky.social Saw this on Threads tonight. “Picture of the White House East Wing demolition taken on my flight out of DCA.” #EastWing

tRump’s ballroom will be bigger than Hitler’s.

Demolition of the entire White House East Wing is sickening. These reporters smile and chuckle, but there’s nothing lighthearted about it. tRump hid his agenda, saying he wanted a ballroom as an addition. Everything he does is full of lies and coverups. www.cbsnews.com/news/demolis...

Quebec is stunning at night. In pic 2 is a cruise ship - leaving Sunday for a trip down the east coast to Ft. Lauderdale.

@jpstone120.bsky.social bonjour Winnipeg Jets fan. My wife and I are in Quebec and saw hockey on hotel restaurant tv. We looked up how many hockey teams there are. To our surprise, 7.

In Quebec, we’ve walked a lot of steps AND stairs! Pic 1 is from the lower city looking up at our hotel.

We’re staying at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Québec City (1). We’ve learned that even luxury hotels have rooms with lousy views (2). So we upgraded to a room with views of the city (3-4).

Greetings from Quebec. Maple Popcorn is sweeter than caramel popcorn.

My wife and I flew into Quebec for a weekend getaway. But we arrived during rush hour. Now I’m feeling like Warren Zevon could’ve written lyrics to this:: “Stuck in traffic in a taxi in Quebec, listening to the radio in French.”

The Republican leader of the Senate discussing the highest-level health official in our country. There is a cost for the strategy of appointing only incompetent loyalists.

Hey Trump, you can identify Antifa members by the flag they carry:

I just saw this on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show. He said this is like saying the baby is in her foot.

Of everything I’ve seen in my entire life working with our Government, this is the most insane use of taxpayer money that I’ve ever seen. Nothing else comes close. This is taking $20B of Americans’ money and handing it to a a 2 bit dictator for no reason other than vanity.

@shari-in-the-sky.bsky.social Shari, could a Boeing 777-8F or Airbus A350F be in your future? Time will tell. simpleflying.com/aircraft-rep...

WIRED - THE POLITICS ISSUE Insightful cover art.

Great perspective on Hegseth speech by Kurt Andersen.

@kgardner.bsky.social how long have you been in NZ?

This is ‪FÛ€K‬Êd up.

In the 10 years my wife and I have been together, we never had an interest in sports. tRump’s 2nd term shit show has changed that. We need diversions. Sunday we watched Orioles & Yankees. Tonight it’s Red Sox & Yankees. She’s a Yankee fan; I’m not - anyone but the Yankees.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 6 mass shootings this weekend: 3 Saturday and 3 Sunday. This is America! www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass...

@o2bnobx.bsky.social have you ever tasted a Scotch that you like or can tolerate? I was at a funeral last month for a 92 yr old man who loved Dewars. We toasted to him with small cups of Dewars. I called it rotgut. I’ve heard that aged McAllen’s is good but never tried it.

@o2bnobx.bsky.social Alan, I never heard of Buffalo Trace until you wrote about it from San Francisco. Since then, I’ve seen it on a couple drink menus. I order what it’s in. 😉👍🏼

@shari-in-the-sky.bsky.social when I read your new profile statement about being average, it reminded me of interviews I’ve seen of The Blue Angels where they were humble and some said they were lucky to be where they were. IMHO, humility and safety go together in aviation, and elsewhere.

@shari-in-the-sky.bsky.social there was a time when I thought I might get back into aviation in retirement. Besides having no purpose to do so, at age 71, I don’t feel confident and sharp enough to try. I made enough flying mistakes when younger; I was just lucky I didn’t wreck anything. 🤪😁

@shari-in-the-sky.bsky.social hey Shari. I figured you changed your profile pic for anonymity and safety in today’s political climate. I may have figured wrong but I followed suit. A lot of ppl have anonymous names and pics. On Reddit, everyone has an avatar and goofy name.

@catherinemfds.bsky.social looks like you deserve more kind followers. 😁

Yeah, file this under say anything to get elected!

Red states accused the Biden administration of "jawboning" -- coercing social media platforms to "censor" content (mostly COVID misinformation), merely by liaising and flagging false content for those companies. Now the FCC *explicitly threatens* a network over content but that's all good?

Presidents? SCOTUS grants them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. Hello?

A young white Christian male who was raised by Republicans and taught to use guns from a young age shot Charlie Kirk. Not long after, a young white Christian male radicalized online by white male Christians like Charlie Kirk shot up his high school in the state next door. #ThisIsAmerica

The first three look like they’re about to deliver a somber speech about justice. Patel looks like he just walked in on raccoons eating out of his fridge.

If Trump and all Republicans had decried political violence when Minnesota House Speaker-Emerita Melissa Hortman and Democratic Senator John Hoffman were assassinated or if they hadn’t joked when Paul Pelosi was attacked, perhaps further political violence could have been averted. We’ll never know.

Ukraine's air force warns that Russian drones entered Poland's airspace www.reuters.com/business/aer...

I’m seeing reports of Russian drones straying into Poland and Warsaw airport closed. I see no traffic there on Flightradar24. There’s a Polish AF Saab 340 AEW&C patrolling the skies. Cross checking ‪CNN‬ and BBC. www.cnn.com/2025/09/09/e...

@electricland.bsky.social hello. I stumbled upon your pic of Bunty the Airedale. I don’t see Airedales much; I met a fully grown one when I was on a bicycle ride. Your IG: electric_landlady reminds me of Jimmy Hendrix’s album. Is it a coincidence? Electric Ladyland share.google/yV81PtUYRWou...

Timeline cleanse. Yesterday on dog’s morning walk, we stopped to see neighborhood boys at the bus stop. Penny loved every moment of it.

@phbehnken1234.bsky.social I followed you because I see many of your responses to Alan’s posts. I’ve been following him for a long time - Xitter, then here.

Worth spreading the word on “Pedo Patio” for the former Rose Garden.
