what's your response to this not being considered a word?

It’s always a good night when we pull the guest bowl out of the closet.

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases. Graphic via @reenamahajan.bsky.social

a bit on the nose that they don't consider this a word

Happy #bonilladay to all who celebrate.

Remembering when music came with visual art as well as audio.

I always appreciate TL's thoughtful perspective. But today, I had to marvel at that full paragraph that was one gigantic sentence - and completely readable. We're lucky to have a solid local sports reporter, and one who knows how to use all the punctuation tools for good.

A reminder that current science doesn't always age well - from Wilmington NC Morning Star, 24 August, 1945.

This year I've learned to order products and book services directly if that's an option, instead of using an aggregator. Puts more money in the provider's pocket, and sometimes earns extra perks.

Cheers to the Hearts fans taking @gpmetro.org 9A to the match. Stop is just a block away.

To “live beloved & die regretted” sounds like winning to me. Except for the 18 years part.

Signs of change: line outside the local bakery - and it’s longer than the JBA winner one rn.

Well, yesterday WAS the 250th anniversary of Revere’s ride.

The flicker feeding in my yard probably isn’t a great sign for my lawn’s health, but he sure is handsome.

The Northern Flickers are looking for love this morning. #SpringInMaine

this is wild: vehicle capacity of freeway lanes dropped 10 percent as SUVs took over the road -- not just bc they are bigger. they also take more time and space to slow down and obscure other drivers' sightlines. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's jarring to see my home town shown in such a troubling light. Even worse if you spread the numbers over our small population. I'm no expert at this but think it's a story worth listening to and evaluating.

Genealogy is a good way to experience history. Found relatives in FL in the 1920s whose occupation was "turpentine". Learned this was a booming (and ugly) industry at the time in the pines of northern FL. dunnhistory.com/the-brutalit...

This is high art

The first bike ride of summer tire season always feels like flying.

The Moon and Saturn are quite a pair in the western twilight over the trees rn.

This was the bio of my mom from her college yearbook. She passed a few of those traits on to me - minus the eyes, I think.

In case the meme culture thinks it invented this one, this is from a 1970's magazine hosiery ad.

Despite all the Space Mtn junk and deplorable fake child slaughter "humor", the 2nd half of this video is worth watching and thinking about.

I found the apartment in CLT my mom rented after college. She lived there until enlisting in the Army in 1943. So cool to climb the stairs she did.

During a recent trip to CLT #bikesmeanbusiness for this brewery in spite of no accommodation at all on the street. It would be hard to feel safe as a transportational cyclist in that city.

PSA: Those born between '57 and '67 should check with your doc about measles vax. The version given to us was less effective than other years. I know: I had measles in college. It's no joke. I can't imagine getting it at my current age.

Thinking about picking up this little #PortlandME gem in the government's fire sale. www.gsa.gov/real-estate/...

I walk a lot off peninsula and many sidewalks are NOT good. The street isn’t a safe walking place but neither is an icy or flooded sidewalk. Portland man dies after being hit by 2 cars on Forest Avenue www.pressherald.com/2025/03/03/p...

My wife & I took the bus in town today for lunch, errands, coffee, shopping and dinner. We walked about 6 miles, bumped into family on the street. Good for our health. Good for the local economy. #TransitMeansBusiness

While I don't agree that the service is amazingly good or consistent, it is critical and worthy of fixing - not viewing transactionally.

Great story about the weird hockey community and a reminder that it's still a game. Who won was just a small side note. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/02/26/s...

Portlanders, don’t sleep on Yuri’s. A bright spot for coffee - and macarons! Bonus: open til 4:00.

It may be wishful thinking but I think the birds sense Spring is coming. Extra songs this morning.

Frog & Toad are a bit too on the nose these days.

I’ve always been an old soul

Time goes by. The 20-somethings I first met on Twitter 15 years ago are now parents - some of them with kids as old as mine was then.

Just reading that RISD Museum found the demo tape for Psycho Killer in storage. The "band" (The Artistics)was just Byrne & Frantz at the time. Sadly @bostonglobe.com doesn't allow any gift articles, which is bush league.

A sad day, but a good time to be grateful for the man who reminded us that free parking isn't.

Happy Superb Owl weekend to all who celebrate. 🦉🦉🦉

another reason we owe Canada an apology

If it's good enough for Merriam Webster...

Happy 207 Day to Mainers at home and Mainers at heart.

Walked 3 miles today and most folks had done a good job clearing the sidewalks in front of their property. But it only takes a few to force you to walk in the street.

arborist word geeks are not happy today
