I can barely stand any of the cable news channels any more, and long ago stopped watching the network news. But I could watch these three all day.

“You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?”👇

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

George Cabot Lodge, who unlike four of his ancestors lost in his attempt to gain a Massachusetts seat in the U.S. Senate, enabling a member of a rival dynasty, Edward Kennedy, to begin a five-decade congressional career, died this month. He was 98.

I realize Bluesky is not a hotbed of New England Patriots fandom, but whoo-hoo we’re going back to the Super Bowl!!

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

My Congressman

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Why is @ms.now reading DHS propaganda (lies)?

❤️ Minneapolis

I’ve long been inspired by people from Minnesota (Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg, and Prince to name a few) but now am inspired by the whole damn state.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Just flipped on Stop Making Sense as David Byrne sings "Our President's crazy, did you hear what he said?" (from Making Flippy Floppy). Think he was way ahead of his time.

This is incredible!

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

Oddly the last two music posts are sort of related because the same long lost former roommate who turned me on to the Grateful Dead also turned me on to the Replacements.

Happy 40th anniversary to this classic SNL performance by the Replacements. Don’t think I saw it live—it would be another couple months before i caught onto them, and exactly 6 months before I saw them myself at the Channel in Boston. But I have probably watched this clip 50 times since.

Had a brief Grateful Dead phase in the late 80s. This was my first show. RIP Bobby youtu.be/RuWOUIpmdX4?...

Being an old school graphic designer gave me an advantage on this one: Wordle 1,667 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

If you need a distraction the documentary "Athens, GA: Inside/Out" is a available to stream. Simpler times. youtu.be/1Kp6X2GzMls?...

Along with the “snowplow game” the most memorable Patriots-Dolphins games ever.

Wearing my Squish the Fish shirt for today’s #patriots - Dolphins game. Double anniversary: 40 years since winning the Game that got them to their 1st Super Bowl; and 20 years since the 20th anniversary of that game that was also the Doug Flutie dropkick game. Awesome being at Gillette for that one.

Income Tax deduction; one hell of a function!

Little too obvious of a metaphor alert. The writers have gotten so lazy.

I find myself bothsiding this font debate.

"I like the look of it, but as you see these rounded tops look real ugly in ClearType; don’t choose this,” I learned long ago that if you send a client multiple options, that they will more often than not choose the one you like least—especially if you tell them not to choose that one

Lots of ridiculousness in here but someone’s gonna have to explain this last line to me “Mr. Blinken also changed the standard font size, from 14-point to 15-point, requiring extra keystrokes that some diplomats found annoying.”

Biggest race since I’ve been an F1 fan. Pulling for Oscar for the win, and love to see my usual fave Charles get a podium and help Oscar win the World Championship.

My top 10 artists and songs of the year according to Apple Music.

Arguably my favorite song by my favorite band finally has a video 40 years late. Lots of great Replacements Easter Eggs in here too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltPN...

My favorite band for 40 years and finally got some decent swag #thereplacements #letitbe

Our Fall decor vs. our neighbors’.

Grew up right on the Red Sox/Yankees fandom line in central Connecticut, so naturally I was a Cincinnati Reds fan 50 years ago when this happened.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Boston turning out Bigly for #nokings today.

A guitar-wielding Tommy Stinson of the legendary MN-based band The Replacements hit the campaign trail with Tim Kaine on the harmonica with Elizabeth Guzmán and me in Manassas to kick off a canvass for Elizabeth and Abigail Spanberger, the next Governor of Virginia!

PATS WIN! Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs shine as Patriots make a statement with thrilling 23-20 win in Buffalo, handing the Bills their first loss of the season. Recap here. on.nbcboston.com/ZEkXReh

All this use of “lethal” and “lethality” reminds me I had a cat named Lethal in the 80s. Brought him home from a party, and my roommate named him Lethal due to the lethality of his claws when he jumped on you.

Whoa!

I'll be eagerly awaiting the @thebulwark.com take on this.

Rafaela with a walkoff double. The Red Sox are in the playoffs.

Wish this album got more love. Still holds up really well.

This is a great watch for old school Patriots fans. For all the success of the Belichick/Brady years, it was the Parcells teams that really began to change the Pat's image. And BP was by far the more entertaining Bill. Stick around to the end as Kraft pops in to reminisce. youtu.be/-xsPcsRz_1Q

This is Sinclair Broadcasting.

As I was saying…

For 25 years, Momball has become the most important community event for this North Shore city — the moms from each school in town play each other in a weekend-long softball tournament that has never stopped growing.

Havnt owned a turntable in over 30 years, so cool when the AirBNB come with one and a decent record collection

OMG WHAT A CATCH CEDDANNE RAFAELA

@jtkantor.bsky.social how bout some September Gurls for the first day of September!
