Up the long ladder And down the short rope To hell with King Billy And God bless the Pope If that doesn’t do Then we’ll tear them in two And send them to hell …With their red, white and blue. Skol!

And a partridge in a pear tree. “Fontana Unified School District’s PD has 7 aerial drones, 3 robots, 2 armored vehicles, 85 less-lethal launchers & 105 military-style rifles, or those that are .50 caliber or greater & specialized firearms that are not standard-issue shotguns & service weapons.”

Some folks think broadcast is dying and it’s the result of changes in the way we consume media, but occasionally you come across something where you realize some broadcasters are not doing themselves any favors. Any guesses of what’s supposed to be on at 6 PM Pacific time?

You know you live in Los Angeles when you go to the Doctor’s office, the one question they ask you the most is “Do you need your parking validated?” #MyDayInLA #CarFreeInLA

People in LA are more aware that there’s a new Minions movie coming out than that the World Cup is happening here on Friday.

@metrolosangeles.bsky.social a single tracking subway trains at seventh and Metro however, we’re seeing trains heading outbound on the inbound track arching on the third rail as they depart. Announcements on status are infrequent and inaudible.

This is one of the very few times. I have felt FOMO while working at NPR West. Though I did watch the live stream. youtu.be/wxaXWSVhRXU?...

There is something FANTASTIC about listening to Kate Pierson sing the theme to Pee Wee’s Playhouse live. #SaidTheSecretWord #LaLaLa #NetflixisAJoke

A toast to the lads of @wrexhamafc.co.uk for one hell of a season. I raise my jar and can’t wait to see you on the pitch next season. #UpTheTown

My colleagues at the Nipper will be relieved he is still a Good Dog. 14 out of 10. Right @weratedogs.com ?

At work, I’ve learned to listen to audio at double speed. It makes things go, well, twice as fast. It also spills over to my other listening & watching which annoys @DommyGonzalez.bsky.social to no end.

To all the folks back in the #Northeast who’ve had up to 3’ ft plus of snow dumped on you, I feel your pain. Except I’m jealous too, even about the snow removal process. Would you send some to LA? We could use the water. #OnceAMasshole #LetItSnow

Apparently AG Pam Bondi hasn’t been to Culver City since they removed the bike lanes.

Here’s the #1 reason Broadcast is so much better than Streaming. It’s the most efficient & cheapest way to get Audio, Video, & Data from a single point to the masses. It’s how listen to Dave Denholm call the @lafcmirror.bsky.social game on @espnlosangeles.bsky.social @bmostadium.bsky.social

Jon Bon Jovi is from New Jersey. Why is he introducing the Patriots. Couldn’t they find a real Masshole to do the honors? Where are Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Evans, or even Conan O’Brien, he needs the work.

Digging out the old gear. #OnceAMasshole……

I’m now free to move about the world. (again)

I used to know how to solder. My mentors in college taught me very well, but in the intervening years, something has happened. Even though I watch videos & see folks able to neatly rewire a circuit board with a little bit of flux, solder & an iron in seconds, I guess I need a little more practice.

Mail more letters and postcards. Please.

Adam is becoming one of my favorite journalists to read/hear/watch. I realize most of his Atlantic articles are behind a paywall, like the one I posted on MLK Day, it’s worth your while to go to your local library‘s website to gain access to the Atlantic, it’s well worth the effort. Or subscribe.

I can't decide whether it's Deja Vu Day, Groundhog Day, Sonny and Cher Day or Earworm Day. If you decide to celebrate any or all of those, I wish you joy in doing so. However, I'll be over here celebrating National Tater Tot Day.

The only way to watch a sports ball game is to listen to the play by play from the radio. They’re rooting for who you’re rooting for. That goes to for the other team too. #Seahawks #Rams @seattlesports710.bsky.social @espnlosangeles.bsky.social @931jackfm.bsky.social

TIL McDonald’s doesn’t sell jugs of milk to Adults anymore. The only way to get one is as your beverage selection when you order a Happy Meal. My Sausage McMuffin with egg this Morning wasn’t as good with oj as it would have been with milk. #ItDoesYourBodyGood #SMH

The reason for the onion buns was to make a roast beef sandwich. Now I gotta figure out how to make the buns more onion-y

The onion buns are done.

On this MLK Jr Day be mindful of the following: “Believing in racial equality in the abstract and supporting policies that would make it a reality are two different things. Most white Americans have long professed the former, and pointedly declined to do the latter.” TY to @adamserwer.bsky.social

Apparently, Ben Affleck does not know how to pronounce the name of my hometown. #IComeFromThePOI wbsm.com/ben-affleck-...

Wishing a Happy Public Radio Broadcasting Day to all who turn it on, celebrate it and work it. #NPRLife
