@axios.com Re "Just lead: A CEO call to action". America's Merchant Princes have been major contributors to the current dire situation. Hoping they might also repair it seems naive.

@beau-stevens.bsky.social Your photos reminded me how much I enjoyed touring southern Germany in the '70s & '80s. Much of it looked "picture postcard perfect" then. Apparently a lot still does.

@gizmodo.com Re "Google Is in Full-On Damage Control Over Its New Health App". What's so hard about a 1-page list of (succinctly explained) functions that can be toggled on or off? Easy enough to revisit it in future if your choices change. #Fitbit #Charge6

@gizmodo.com Re "Google Is in Full-On Damage Control Over Its New Health App". I should not have to spend a day trying to customize the GHealth app to show me what is important to me, and not to pester me with irrelevant nonsense. #Fitbit #Charge6

@gizmodo.com Re "Google Is in Full-On Damage Control Over Its New Health App". Much of Google "Help" site still refers to using the deprecated Fitbit app to setup your new device, meaning the options you'd need no longer exist. Lame & inexcusable. #Fitbit #Charge6

@gizmodo.com Re "Google Is in Full-On Damage Control Over Its New Health App". As they should be. Once again, they've taken something that worked (the Fitbit app) & binned it in favor of their in-house POS. Fortunately I can still find the "Charge 6" data that interests me. #Fitbit #Charge6"

@democrats.senate.gov Defeating the GOP should be the easiest win in the world. They work to benefit exclusively the most fortunate. If you can't demonstrate this truth to the voters, you should give way to a party that can.

@whitehouse.senate.gov 1,000 shares in the 5 largest US oil & LNG companies bought 01/01/2026 would show @ 24% increase in value today. For whom are current events an "Oil Crisis"?

@whitehouse.senate.gov Part of an important but decrepit highway bridge fell onto the railway line in Cranston yesterday. Has no one a proper understanding of priorities anymore?

@catrike.bsky.social A 2011 "Mk1". Its journey to date: Florida to Utah to Colorado to Rhode Island.

#RhodeIsland #RogerWilliamsPark #Spring #Photography #Phonecam #Bike #Trike #Recumbent #Cycling The 700's first Spring outing around the park. Similarly to the midlife-crisis-sportscar, the trike is much faster than the septuagenarian rider. But fun, nonetheless. 😁

@stereophile.bsky.social If a speaker is not designed to work properly on a shelf, it is not a "bookshelf". If it only really works well on a stand, away from any wall, it's a "stand-mount". Allegedly an increasing number of people live in small spaces, where only a "bookshelf" would be suitable.

#RogerWilliamsPark #RhodeIsland #Photography #Phonecam #Spring It was warm enough today cycling around the park to smell the blossom. Lovely. Even the bears are out of hibernation.

@politico.com Re "super PAC ... planning to spend the most ... Ohio ($79 million) and North Carolina ($71 million)". Tells you neatly what is "broken" in US politics. No one spends that much money to enable anyone to be a public servant. It's an investment. A financial return would be expected.

@stereophile.bsky.social It seems you have no mechanism to contact your web-site admins to request a change if the email address formally associated with a username no longer exists.

@therestpolitics.bsky.social "without London, the UK’s GDP is equivalent to that of the United States’ poorest state, Mississippi": www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04.... How would you tell voters that significant improvements within a couple of generation are not possible?

@bandcamp.com Of late many of your "About this album" pieces have had me wondering who concocted such an exaggerated flight-of-fancy. Or was your AI responsible?

Nice

@axios.com Re "Jamie Dimon's plan to rescue the American Dream" might be read as "new & more imaginative ways to get people into debt". Affordable housing & child-care would probably do more for current wage-earners than contemplating starting a small business.

@booker.senate.gov If the Democrats are to have any value, surely it is to be the champions of the country's least fortunate. Champion in this context means legislating effectively. Not just talking endlessly to no effect. The least fortunate need evidence that the Democrats can & will deliver. 2/2

@booker.senate.gov Re "Democrats have ‘failed this moment’". In the 32 years I've lived in the US the Democrats have been consistently disappointing. About the only bright spots were the massive increases in inward investment toward the end of the Biden Administration. 1/2

For some different late-night listening, try any of the noir-jazz samplers at signorawardrecords.bandcamp.com/music. Like a PI-movie soundtrack brought up-to-date. Harry Bosch might not like them, but Maddie might. #audio #music #recording #noir #jazz

@democrats.senate.gov Re-animating "The American Dream" would be a sure vote-winner. Merely talking about it impresses no one.

@govdanmckee.bsky.social The way Rhode Island Energy present their bills is designed to confuse and obfuscate.

@whitehouse.senate.gov IIUC the US no longer buys Middle Eastern oil. So why should the closure of the Straights of Hormuz cause US oil prices to spike?

@bleepingcomputer.com Notified today that Conduent Business Services, LLC (NJ 07932) leaked some of our Medical Insurance data.

@denverpost.com CO setting a "Green Energy" example. I've wondered why PV systems on every south-facing roof in the state have not been encouraged. I'd expect the state could supply it's own electricity needs, and produce an exportable surplus.

@axios.com Re "Older Americans power a gray-shaped economy". Seems like a lot of political power not yet being effectively channeled.

Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.

in the future entire conferences will be held on the extraordinary and epoch-defining feckless uselessness off the major american ‘opposition’ party schumer and jeffries make chamberlain look like churchill

@axios.com Re "Micro Cars". Automakers fostered the market for too-much-of-everything vehicles. They're more profitable. Now "encouraging" the market to buy smaller & simpler cars would probably require draconian measures. Taxation by weight &/or power might work. It previously has elsewhere.
