Mercador madness? The island is smaller than it appears on Trump's map.

Some Bluesky bots like to hide behind their phone. Shy, I suppose. #botsShy

While I am fascinated at how Living DNA breaks out my English ethnicity into smaller zones than Ancestry DNA, they can't justify making me three-quarters British. A quarter of my maternal Germanic/Slavic ancestors are misattributed to England. Ancestry DNA gets it right. #genealogy #ancestrytips

Fascinating! #genealogy

I have a 14 cM DNA match on Ancestry. The DNA Painter cM Tool provides much better suggested cousin solutions than Ancestry. Over 60% of the most likely solutions -- all in the highest tier - aren't even offered on Ancestry. #ancestrytips #genealogy #dna

The realignment has begun. The western alliance is in its death throes.

He's grabbing us all by the pussy, and we're letting him.

Collaboration is impossible when the two dozen relevant Ancestry family trees are all marked private back to the 18th century. I mean really? Why message asking me for help? It's not only stupid, it's unproductive to hide your research. Crowd sourcing can be useful. #genealogy #ancestrytips

Got our Y'All-o-Meter in the mail today. We are ready to measure the next blizzard! #weather #snow #ryanhallyall

My latest BlueSky bot claims to be a biomedical researcher. The profile talks of her study of cancer, but her user name traces to an Asian dating app or worse. Her photo is unserious, AI generated. Another bot blocked. #bots

Trump's press conf on his illegal operation against Maduro and run Venezuelan oil companies has quickly digressed into a defense of his occupation of American cities to protect our women folk and restaurants. He sounds unwell in body and mind. Of course his use of superlatives was unsurpassed.

The winds are strong this morning here in central New Jersey. #weather #winds #nj

ESPN's YouTube channel might as well be called the Men's Sports Network. Today I waded through two dozen gridiron titles before I found a token Hannah Hildago vid. Buy a clue, ESPN. Fans want coverage of women's sports news and reviews. There's lots going on. #NCAAW #WNBA #Unrivaled #WNBAPA

If you can't find Matawan, New Jersey in the 1850 US Census, there's a few reasons. It was part of Raritan Twp from 1848 to 1857. It was called Middletown Village until the Borough was established in 1857. It was labeled but the margins are cropped online. #genealogy #ancestrytips #matawannj

Windy day here in New Jersey. The gusts sound like a jet flying by the window. #weather #wind #nj

Heads up, NYC transit users.

UConn and Tennessee have been the best women's basketball programs over the last 50 years, earning the top spots in The Associated Press Top 25 all-time poll.

CNN viewers have urged Donald Trump to cease "blabbering" in the wake of his latest press conference alongside Volodymyr Zelensky.

My friend John Sullivan is a Democratic candidate for the 17th NY Congressional District. I heartily endorse him in his campaign to replace Mike Lawler. Check out this podcast interview. Vote for John in the upcoming primary. #westchester #ny podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Why are people so upset that the late, great Barry White is running CBS News? I say give him a shot.

When some media outlets repost on BlueSky, we end up having to endure the title of their schlock in triplicate.

Vanity Fair needs to take more photos.

The children in each different place will see the baby Jesus’ face like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, and filled with holy light.

So here we are: back in the USSR.

Bots seem to be taking advantage of the AT Protocol. In Blue Sky you will see them as myatproto at social. I'm sure there are plenty of legit accounts, but my latest followers included one who traced back to a children's dance group. Both had the same reposts and no original content. Blocked. #bots

The latest bot to follow me reposts at an inhuman pace on French politics. The account opened a few days ago with candid photos in the tropics. Then its France building a new aircraft carrier, etc. Blocked. #bots

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

If I have to clear the Ancestry Holiday Sale ad from my Ancestry workspace one more time, I might scream. The ad isn't given me warm fuzzies about the app. #ancestrytips #genealogy

The niece of a difficult to resolve maternal DNA match wrote today on Ancestry. Her uncle, subject of a floating tree I used to explore our ties a few yrs ago, is my highest cm match not to find a spot in my tree. Hope we can sort things out after she sees him next week. #ancestrytips #genealogy

Ancestry has made my work more difficult. The census enumerated a Kieffer family as Kiefer, so I imported Kiefer as an Alternate Name. Ancestry has been ignoring my Alt Name designations for months, so I had to revert the Kiefers back to Alt Name status for each individual. #ancestrytips #genealogy

Republicans are leading us to environmental disaster in Washington, DC and letting down their constituents. Here's two to blame for Alaska's fisheries dilemma.

If the WNBPA wants its fair share of the revenue generated by the WNBA, they need to negotiate with ALL of the share holders. The WNBA can't offer what they don't own. A strike will hurt the NBA and those lesser known others. #wnba #wnbpa #basketball

wtf?! The weather research community is rightfully alarmed. The public should be too. #weather #climate #environment

That's our Andy. Representing.

I worked cases re WMD in my career. Drugs are terrible, true, but no way are they weapons of mass destruction. This is political nonsense.
