It’s the same thing, but in a bigger box.

Is the JewSky Plus feed borked for everyone, or is it just me?

@realfollowers.bsky.social hi!

I remember when Bob Costas used to do the midnight sports report on KMOX radio. Like everyone else at the station, he had a nickname. He was Young Bobby Costas. I was a fan. Times have changed. It makes me sad. bsky.app/profile/park...

I am now thinking of the Van Morrison show where he was yelling out “Tourette’s! Tourette’s”

Dispatch from court observation at 26 Federal Plaza: only one person detained, but one is too many. Swarmed by 10 masked agents without showing a warrant.

Oh, not Pete Finney!

After 12 days, we have power back! Moving back home tomorrow.

Contractor is coming to fix our weatherhead tomorrow morning. Yay! Can we get home this weekend? Stay tuned for details.

A book on the Westminster Kennel Club called Maslow’s Hierarchy of Breeds.

🦞 Safe and warm at the Marriott Homesuites. Lots of people here with their pets, in case anyone’s still looking for shelter.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

My husband and I went out for dinner last night. One of the waitstaff called us “cute”. Does this mean we’re so old we’re going to drop dead soon?

Here’s someone with a Nazi handle to report and block.

Ah, man. Bob Weir. I’ll miss him and his ponytail. Well, I’ve already missed his ponytail for a long time, but you know what I mean. We all get older, and at some point we die, but this makes me sad.

At least this person is honest about what’s behind all the “fake Christian” arguments. Inventing neologisms is soooo important.

There’s two ways I can take this….

Well, happy 2026, y’all.

It’s too late where I live. What used to be a slow, relaxing experience has turned into bustle and waiting in line. To which I say, if Christians want to eat out on Christmas they need to keep their own restaurants open.

Seventh night.

Just sitting here listening to the Animals’ version of “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” which is 90 seconds long. Whatever happened to short songs that have days of meaning in them?

Third night candles, because we keep doing this thing.

I’m Ender-critical. Orson Scott Card is a lousy writer.

No, not Joe Ely too! 😭😭😭

Because this week has not yet been terrible enough: word is that Jim Stringer of the Austin String Band has died. “There is one band in Austin, and we’re all in it.”

Chag Hanukkah sameach. I’m hoping for a year of so much light that no one—no one—has to be resilient.

Man, Todd Snider and Raul Malo in one month is a bit much. I can’t say anything about Malo’s music that hasn’t already been said, but I can’t say anything testify that he was a genuinely nice and kind person. He will be missed.

We’ve all got to be real careful of Booker T. Jones now.

Endorsing this message while watching helplessly from District 6.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild: In this case, in my backyard: Cooper’s hawk Rabbit Possum Skunk Deer

So I broke a toe this morning, just in time to not cook for thanksgiving. I have an enormous boot to hobble around in. Life is interesting.

Christian missionary identified.

Missing an entire chapter from your book? Problematic page gap.

Things I didn’t know I needed in my life: Jason Isbell singing “Wild Horses.”

Last harvest before the first frost.

This ought to be ah-MAY-zing. A 30-episode TV show by the director of In The Mood For Love.

Free Link.

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

Since the Bluesky team is bigoted against Link, he is unable to conduct Mutual Fund Friday, and so in his absence we must do it for him. SNAP benefits disappearing means a LOT of people mightily struggling. So can we try?? :) If you need help, drop your links below. Everyone else share & donate.

Michael Twitty makes fine recipes.

Chag Sukkot Sameach, friends.

Cyndi Lauper really has been the female Bruce Springsteen all this time, hasn’t she?

Keep an eye out for this: There's deceptively edited video floating around Instagram & TikTok which appears to show a rabbi speaking in favor of human sacrifice and saying "some need to die for the world to flourish." In fact, she is reading a post by R. Tali Adler which decries that very attitude.

Shabbat shalom, y’all, and let’s use this time for some reflection and self-reflection. And to catch a breath.

Shana tova to all my skeeps. I just got some weird health news, so if you can remember, please say a misheberach for me at the appropriate time. My mother’s name was Rachel.

Shabbat shalom, y’all. Maybe by the time we come back tomorrow night someone will have figured out a way for coexist to work.

This is very good.

Anyway, I’ve got to run. Shabbat shalom and let’s all take some refreshing deep breaths.

Shabbat shalom to everyone except people trying to get rid of minority religious practice.

Oh, sad news about Jeannie Seely. I met her about 20 years ago; she told me to email the Opry to have her host more often.
