The Trump Administration is working to amend one of the most successful and popular laws passed in the last 50 years: the Endangered Species Act. www.easthamptonstar.com/government/2...

Can we go back to the old headlights?

If we could match the “Clean Fill” guys with the “Clean Fill Needed” guys, we could reduce 80% of hand drawn roadside signs in the Hamptons. #thinkbig

Welcome new followers. Look, it’s a tough job around here. 40 hours a week, few perks—but it’s all about spreading the message. If we could gain one new follower a week, by the end of 2026, we’ll be nearing in on 80, give or take. #teamwork

Matte finish guy in a high gloss world.

Need to beef up my social media presence. My 26 followers are worked to the bone.

If I ever say “dear reader” let that be the end of me.

PICK A SIDE SHELTER ISLAND!

As a local journalist on the East End of Long Island, I both fear and welcome the idea of the North Fork invading the South Fork, or vice versa. Shelter Island would be super important.

#AI implications for birding: not as serious as misinformation, but it’s having impacts on the pastime. My take & growing unease with this new birding companion. www.easthamptonstar.com/villages/202... #birds #merlin #ebird #hamptons #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #birdsong #birding

Only good thing about daylight savings time is that I feel like a hero for waking up so early.

Remember what hell life was before all the Little Free Libraries started popping up everywhere?

Dormouse said nothing about feeding your head, for what it’s worth.

People seem tired.

Criterion Closet? I’m available.

I know there are serious issues in our world, but let this serve as a warning that not all cherry tomatoes are innocent. I just popped one in my mouth, looked and felt normal. Absolute nightmare. I won’t be the same again.

No stronger since I began this superfood diet 3 months ago.

Sneakers are better now.

Air purifiers are getting bigger.

It’s odd that the “cola wars” are the thing that finally pushes Billy Joel over the edge in his hit song, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

Gardening. Eating superfoods.

Took this photo last night at 3 a.m. in Montreal. The sky glow was unreal. #birds #nightsky #skyglow #Montreal

With one phone call, a healthy tree that had lived through a couple of human lifetimes, was felled. Will East Hampton Village work harder to preserve the giants which line its Main Street? www.easthamptonstar.com/villages/202...

It was amazing to see how The New York Post took this story and twisted it. #immigration First mine: www.easthamptonstar.com/government/2... Then theirs: nypost.com/2025/02/06/u...

Finally, someone is standing up to Canada.

Also, the word “stakeholder.” Overused. Let’s move on. No more.

When saying the word “height” there is no “th” sound at the end, okay? Enough of that silliness.

“I’d get more done without cats,” I thought. Then I asked Chat to make that sentence “funny.” It came up with: “I’d get more done without cats, but who else is going to sit on my keyboard and judge my life choices?” #cats #AI

There’s still something special about sitting down with a newspaper and cup of coffee when the day is young. #newspapers #coffee

So hard to find good fruit nowadays.

www.easthamptonstar.com/villages/202... I look forward to this Audubon Christmas Bird Count every year. Cold conditions yielded a relatively low species total, 124, but there were still some surprises. #birds #montauk #easthampton

Spotted lanternflies are now dormant for the winter, but numbers increased this year in the Hamptons. Entomologists expect a population explosion in either 2025 or 2026. www.easthamptonstar.com/index.php/vi...

There must be like, a hundred billion million people who want to write for @newyorker.com and like, seven people who actually do it.

New York has had wildfires because it’s been the driest fall on record, a long #drought. For those living on the East End with #ticks, there is a silver lining. In this week’s @easthamptonstar.bsky.social www.easthamptonstar.com/villages/202....

The morning after the 2024 Presidential election, reactions were mixed at an East Hampton Village coffee shop. #politics #Trump www.easthamptonstar.com/government/2...

Hello Blue Sky. I’ve only had a smartphone for 3 years and haven’t had social media since the very early days of Twitter. Giving this a whirl. Here’s an article about fish crows and Sag Harbor in the morning. #birds #hamptons www.easthamptonstar.com/sports-outdo...
