If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Wish I could find a mattress THIS comfortable.

Oh Canada, many of us Americans still honor and appreciate you!

I understand it's #CatBoxSunday. Here's my sidekick, Lucy.

I'm still teary after tonight's Outlander 😪

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference

@goodlander.house.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @repchrispappas.bsky.social @hassan.senate.gov Do you? Before it's hopefully already not too late?

I hope this gets you to the April 2nd edition of the @inklinknews.bsky.social e-newsletter with info about the importance of the Straight of Hormuz in the Publisher's Corner section us16.campaign-archive.com?e=e51207be44...

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order to cease funding for NPR and PBS is unlawful and unenforceable. https://to.pbs.org/4bO3Ndy

Has anyone ever heard the word/phrase "mamma-dalla-faysh-ka" (sp?) My Nana said it while brushing her palm down my face when she thought I was being silly. This came to mind when reading today's @nashua.inklink.news Publisher's Corner about words added to the English language by 10 notable authors.

Ken Burns' Henry David Thoreau on PBS, in 3 parts starting tonight.

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

This is stunning! Bernie's idea for an interview. The speedy, well-reasoned answers. The fact that I like Claude.

If there is one good thing to come out of these dark days is that we all discovered just how flipping delightful our historians are.

Someday, I would love to hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social talk about The Pony Express.

Do we really need presidents to put up a security deposit on their residence in the White House? Apparently, we do.

🧵 Yesterday, I stared at my Blue Sky app searching for something important to say. After a moment, it hit me: "Marco Rubio has a stupid haircut." Hmm. Not exactly my best work. Better dig in. Really focus. I returned a moment later: "Marco Rubio has a stupid haircut. And big ears." 1/

Current project: organizing, scanning and sharing my parents' and grandparents' collections of photos and memorabilia.

I predict this man has a very bright future. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Congratulations, pal. #WellDeserved

Some thoughts before the President's speech tonight.

Stopping this ICE facility was a grassroots effort headed by local leaders and Merrimack residents and strengthened by thousands of Granite Staters who made their voices heard. I’ll continue to demand transparency & accountability from this administration and push back against overreach of power.

Becoming. Enough said.

This was totally fun! A nice break from my usual beat.

Interesting, hopeful and inspiring...

Just put the finishing touches on the People's (Gingerbread) House. I built the West Wing and the Panera Rose Garden as well as the Residence, but I can't get a good picture with everything in it. The West Wing is pretty useless anyway, right? Nothing good has happened there in 333 days.

Much better.

Meet two heroes of our times.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social hired former FTC Chair Lina Khan to run his transition team. She's an excellent pick with an eye for rooting out how big corporations are making your life unaffordable. One way they're doing that? Surveillance pricing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

This was an all around great show! Big Band classics of WWII as originally arranged, history of the music and the bands, along with a vocalist and tap dancers. Swingin' fun! The NH Jazz Orchestra hopes to give an annual Veteran's Day weekend performance to continue honoring our veterans.
