Farewell to Saul Zabar, may his memory be a blessing

Nice to get good news - in this case from Moldova www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/w...

Mysterious Antifa gourds have appeared on the streets of Portland. #pdx #portland

Has the countdown clock on outbound side of Brookline Village @mbta.com station been hacked?

#Tradle #1301 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 oec.world/en/games/tra... I wonder if @tracyalloway.bsky.social got it in two

@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

In this case "deregulation" = "poking travelers in the eye" A gift to the airlines. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/b...

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.

The betting on the life and career of Taylor Swift is a very of the moment and nutty phenomena polymarket.com/search/taylo...

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

English football team from Offshore Wind hub triumphs!

The Mandala Effect is an Internet phenomena where you use a wrong, but very similar, word when describing an Internet phenomena

Does anyone know if you can get decent Mexican food in Alaska? A big upcoming event there that will definitely have a taco theme

@outsideinradio.bsky.social have you (and we) been misprouncing @justineparadis.bsky.social name for years?

Twenty followers away from the 5k mark on Bluesky. Wanna make my day? ❤️

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."

@espiers.bsky.social Elizabeth Spiers with an essay far more pertinent than any obituary of Hulk Hogan. She rather focuses on his distressing legacy. -GIFT LINK- www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/o...

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.

cuomo exhibits all the charm of a dead car battery

What did @emilypeck.bsky.social say? Something about him being the Status Quomo? Fits.

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 . . .

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

The White House reaction at the end is only tip off that this @theonion.com piece is from October 2024. Could have benefitted from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social quote though theonion.com/supreme-cour...

And on top of everything else it is a tough wordle day. Got it in 4 after lucky second guess but that is a tricky one. And stop pretending you haven't done it since 2023.

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

If you were not previously aware, I inform you that @repmcgovern.bsky.social is the best: smart, effective, tough, principled and just a really nice guy

Ancillary services markets providing grid support services is one of the underappreciated "low hanging fruit harvesting" achievements of FERC regulated market structures. Garages housing electric buses could (if properly equipped) participate in such markets: commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/how-...

This iconic image has been the subject of endless discussion and sparked many good efforts in Boston. There is a reason that the Bill Russell memorial is right in front of Boston City Hall just about where this terrible moment occurred.
