Just went to craft fair in a church where they were using the sanctuary for sales space, I think they got the idea from research done by Pew.

@amtrak.com NextGen Acela going through the section of RI that has long run of new tracks in straight-ish line and trains can go the fastest. Maxed out at 161. Not world record of course or up to European, Japanese or Chinese standards but pretty good for the US

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social hey did you see Ari Peskoe from Harvard's amicus about FERC and Humphrey's Executor? He would make a great guest on the podcast

Working from my phone reminds me of the first great tool for remote road warrior electronic work. IFYKYK, in this case it is more IFYAOYK (you will figure it out) - put 4 AA batteries, a cassette drive & a phone coupler in your bag and you were set for travel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_...

Toronto (aka polite Chicago or clean NYC) unexpectedly loses the World Series

True Red Sox fan take would be: oh yeah I had forgotten why I didn't like Kike Hernandez. Showboat.

Yeah yesterday @milkepescs.bsky.social was agreeing w/Iowa journo Art Cullen on his podcast that Ds need to stop emphasizing transgender & related issues "like they did in the last election" -Delusional. National Ds were (for better or worse) desperately running away from those issues in 2024

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

@ologies.bsky.social - how about deep dive into the history of climate science?

Significant - and almost 200 years ago Eunice Foote published a note that was one of the earliest pieces of foundational science in this area. Amazingly she is still celebrated on a US government website! www.climate.gov/news-feature...

So there is @maryroach.bsky.social popping up on no less than 3 podcasts in my feed - @ologies.bsky.social @99pi.org and @nprfreshair.bsky.social discussing her new book Replaceable You. Should listen to a couple & buy the book

And we find the center of the Venn diagram where @michaelemann.bsky.social and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce agree www.uschamber.com/economy/we-n...

Well said @pbump.com - I am still waiting to see any actual assertion of what law that poor Texas A&M prof broke - or even allegedly broke.

@espiers.bsky.social Have him on and use the phrase "magical sky friend" and see what happens @felixsalmon.com @emilypeck.bsky.social

My grandmother, who was an early female grad of NYU law school, told me she was taking an Evidence class with him when he disappeared

@julianakaplan.bsky.social invokes the Turkish historical example in talking about Fed independence www.businessinsider.com/trump-fire-f... The same historical precedent that apparently scarred @galendruke.bsky.social judging by his comments on the Gist with @milkepescs.bsky.social

There are moments when I reflect with pride on the long ago undergrad days when future @bennet.senate.gov recruited me to go into student govt and I ended up succeeding him leading that organization

Block after block of this in and around Boston this weekend. Really.

Sure but all of that is defense, priority can be offense about create energy abundance (vs. current admin attacks on new energy sources), providing health care (vs. the attacks on health care and research), commonsense gun reforms, etc . . .

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

What makes this even crazier @whitehouse.senate.gov is that this doesn't even really benefit fossil fuel folks. Shakes confidence in the stability of leases and regulatory approvals that they need to rely on. Waging war on the economy, the workers, new energy production for literally no reason

I wrote about the Keeling Curve — our most iconic CO₂ time series — for @sfchronicle.com. "The Keeling Curve is valuable to science, but it is also a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it."

Wilmer Chavarria, a US citizen, Global Entry member, and Vermont school superintendent, was detained returning to the US from a trip abroad with his husband. CBP told him he had "no Constitutional rights," took his phone and laptop, and revoked his Global Entry. m.sevendaysvt.com/news/winoosk...

Whether it's Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard from a hotdog vendor or Donald Trump asking for a happy ending from an underage sex slave masseuse, both presidents made some provocative requests.

Love him, hate him, agree with or disagree with him (or like me respect him, think he is saying reasonable things without agreeing with all of it) everyone has to recognize that he is very good at this kind of presentation to the public, is smart, funny, and doesn't take himself overly seriously.

Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my.

Excellent @wbur.org piece by Arielle Gray www.instagram.com/bonitafrobum... about the new Gateway Arts space in Brookline Village www.wbur.org/news/2025/07... - although there is an odd mistake, it is on Station Street and the piece says "Fountain Street"

Well yes, it is normal to tell people you are meeting at the Massachusetts State House to "meet me at the Hooker entrance" - a little on the nose for the lobbyists

Lots going wrong in the world. But the Public Garden in Boston sure is pretty.

@repmcgovern.bsky.social is one of the nicest, most compassionate people I have ever met. He is honestly motivated by a desire to protect the hungry and defenseless and to serve the public. It takes a lot to move a person like that to go off like this . . .
