CNBC is tossing softballs at the Butterball rep. They asked "How big is the average Butterball turkey?" And the rep evaded! What is she hiding!

Hey Worcester, are there any clothing donation places that are specifically looking for professional - type clothes? Rather than just dumping them in a generic donation bin? I'm giving up on my pre-Covid suits.

My talented name twin @timothydoyle.bsky.social (Texas Tim Doyle to my friends) is being harassed by the FBI for his artwork and for joking about funding "Antifa" online.

I think if I didn't have to work, one thing I would do is become an expert at English accents.

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For me the biggest surprise was Multiple Maniacs.

Happy Veterans Day to all the vets who have to go to work while other people are at home celebrating you.

So Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are just going to join the Trump admin, right?

I got an invitation to a fundraiser tonight, but didn't realize it was totally a bot:

New painting! Tenth Ave at W 24th St Acrylic on Canvas 20" x 20"

Let's go Mets!

Only posting because I have an easy slam dunk Halloween name.

I wasn't planning on being interested in the World Series this year, but then I remembered Mookie Betts' radiant smile when he met The Dictator last year.

Ah October, when the weather gets chilly and I finish off my boxes of tea left over from last year.

Now is the time to catch the good trees at Elm Park. Pretty soon the only trees with leaves will be lame-o trees.

Oslo, 1994

A reminder that this guy is famous for not paying tradespeople.

Do any of the betting websites have a line on the Pres receiving an extravagant gift from a foreign head of state containing the stolen jewels from the Louvre within the next few weeks? My exact prediction is a WWE-style belt.

Worcester, Mass.

New painting! Ninth Ave. & 35th Street Acrylic on Canvas 16" x 20"

I found Dolphin Boy. I'm not saying where.

I watched Magnolia last night for the first time in 25 years and it occurred to me that in real life, Tom Cruise's character would now be the head of the National Council of the Humanities or something.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Here's my painting of the Aurora Hotel in Worcester, Mass. which has been converted to mixed -income affordable housing, with 25 units dedicated to at-risk individuals with wrap around services available.

Welp, I can start wearing my Mets cap again without being called a Band Wagoneer.

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Worcester: Pedestrian hit at Park and Chandler. Looks bad. Partial road closures.

My ladyfriend told me to eat some leftover cauliflower soup so it wouldn't go bad and I thought she meant ALL the leftover soup and now I think I ate an entire cauliflower in soup form.

Whatever High School is playing at Foley Stadium right now: kudos to their band

I like to watch old music videos and tonight I was watching We are Young by Fun and there is blatant product placement for a Windows Phone which reminded me that the maps function on those was so bad that I almost missed a first date that kicked off a great too year relationship.

the hero we need

This guy and his company are pretty interesting!

You know, people are looking for third spaces, there are a lot of vacant storefronts out there, maybe it's time to bring back social clubs.

professor x looking into wolverines mind and seeing that he has eaten 12,000 hot dogs in his life and going oh my god

Open Studios today at 75 Webster! Parking is across the street behind the small brick building.

Tonight I learned that I can walk to Bancroft Tower in 20 minutes (it's a workout), that a good view of the city can change in 25-30 years (the last time I was there), and that there are functioning gas lamps on the way up there.

Many on this Council spit the word "renter" like a slur so often you might be surprised that they're on a CITY Council. They've made it clear they have no interest in protecting those who live in apartments if it means telling their friends to do better.

Done!

I am grateful to all the Bluesky people I follow who take the time to put together great threads like this so often. I don't know how you all do it.

"Earthapfelroom" [Potato Chip Room] (2007) 🏛️ Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main

I think topical art history reference is my favorite genre of Bluesky content.

It’s important to pay for local journalism but not like this. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/20/w...

I can tell you from personal experience that critics who claim @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social isn't focused on local issues are lying to get their candidate elected.

The settlement does not impose a monetary penalty on Greystar and does not provide relief to renters impacted by price fixing. www.wbjournal.com/article/doj-...

I was thinking about subscribing to a Tucson news source to keep tabs on what's happening in that city that I enjoy so much. I have been idly trying to decide whether to subscribe to Tucson dot Com or the Arizona Daily Star before realizing this morning that they are in fact the same news source.

Hey Worcester, Check out this new local visual arts calendar out for visual arts stuff by Nikki Erskine who you may have heard of from the Worcester Cultural Coalition, stART on the Street, or on WICN. www.easelsupport.com/wet-paint/20...

🧵Park Avenue- Webster Square economic development. Economic development along Park Avenue to Webster Square has been a significant focus for District 5, a topic I have consistently addressed in Council meetings, discussions with the City Manager, and conversations with local residents.
