Long ago I learned that, historically, on average, the coldest day of the year here in New England was January 21. That's today. Welcome to the Hump of the Winter.

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.

Well that was quite an evening. A train ride. A parade. Two local party bands. Two fireworks shows. And a new year. Happy New Year Bluesky! #BostonFirstNight

If this is real, it’s pretty cool.

On the Amtrak headed to Boston for First Night.

4 o'clock in the morning. That mysterious, legendary, and for me, oddly comforting, time of day.

"Day drinking with Seth (Meyers) and ..." made me a Dua Lipa fan, and now it's done it again, with Sabrina Carpenter. youtu.be/GLq-fAxFUfQ?...

You and me both, girl. (I'm about to head home to NH.)

What a horrible tragedy! RIP Rob Reiner and wife Michele Reiner.

This man doesn't just lead from the rear. Slava Ukraini!

Happy 100th birthday to the legend Dick Van Dyke. 🎂🎉

Playing around this morning programming in c. It's been many years. It reminds me of how our "modern" programming language really spoil us.

Can anyone guess the thing that really bugs me about the UI on this display?

LMFAO!!

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Funny.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

It has started snowing here in Dover NH. Almost 2 hrs before the forecast predicted. Is this thing gonna be even bigger than they thought?

The thing I keep coming back to about this image, is that the Three Stooges were way smarter, and better people, than this crowd.

I just think Boston's Mayor Wu is amazing. Here's the latest: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/22/a...

It was wildly disrespectful and disgusting, but I can't help wondering, how this particular term was in his head. Was he channeling Kermit? Did his father call him "piggy"? Did his wife recently call him that?

It's oddly exciting, this wait to hear how they're gonna claim they can't release the Epstein evidence.

I've always figured there was a good chance that President Clinton's name would appear in the Epstein Evidence. But now, Trump's desire to have him investigated makes me think that maybe Bill WASN'T involved.

Interesting interview with Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall on the occasion of their 25th Anniversary. www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

BOTH of my NH Senators voted for this. I'm struggling to understand how it was a good idea. @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov

Fuck yeah.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

My timehop just reminded me it's 6 years since I read Wanderers by @chuckwendig.bsky.social - good job none of that sort of came true eh?

All the sandwich-guy acquittal puns are awesome!

Like many others, I am basking in the glow of Tuesday's off-year election here in the US. It went better than I think any of us dared hope. But in the coming days we must remember that there is still much work to be done. Yesterday was a sign that we CAN win, but not that we WILL win. Keep fighting.

@justvisiting74.bsky.social Liking all the "I Voted" stickers you reposted. Thanks! #IVoted

Wait, so you took a tour group on an outing to a baseball game? An inning outing?

Every election matters! #ivoted

It’s time we all started depriving the orange fuck airtime. PLEASE STOP POSTING FOOTAGE OF HIM. IT IS ALL LIES ANYWAY. I DON’T NEED TO SEE HIM ANYMORE. DEPRIVE HIM OF OXYGEN AND HE GOES AWAY. ENOUGH!

This clocks change day always messes me up. I don't know what time it is. Is it time to eat? Time to go to bed. Confusing. Couldn't we just stay on DST?

New print in my shop for the philosophically inclined! (Shop link in bio)

big news: it's Ice Cream Friday! Ice Cream Friday is a holiday, celebrated weekly on Friday, in honor of Friday. and also ice cream. you celebrate it by eating ice cream. on a Friday. any questions

What's happened to the East Wing is a travesty, and all the other Trump actions are outrages. But they're not the most important thing. We want to see all the Epstein evidence!! Don't get distracted.

A little day trip to my old stomping grounds in Cambridge and Boston.

A bit long, but very interesting, story about Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. As she wins reelection in a landslide, what's in her future? Governor? Senator? Maybe more? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/21/m...
