It's a weird quirk of nationalism that you can be executed for treason against your country's *government*, but not its land. Sure, spill all the oil, pollute the air, frack away until the water is undrinkable and tremors destroy structures, build an olympic training center on that national […]

A little Saint Of Circumstance going to commercial on the Fox NFL game. Go Lions! #gratefuldead

I have a talented, hardworking, totally blind student who wants to program. I want to give her a chance to do research. Any advice from the programmers out there? P.S. one of the best vision scientists of the later half of the 20th century was blind. (Gordon Legge)

Some nice dawn colors showing up in the sky during my walk this morning. The color popped out for just a couple of minutes on what is otherwise a pretty gray day. #sunrise #dawn

Well, this just freaking sucks! The New York Mets just traded my favorite player, Brandon Nimmo, to Texas. Nimmo has always been a gutsy player, whose always hustled and always gave his all. A fan favorite, who put up great numbers this season. This is a tough […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

I wish nothing but the best for our Child of God. #mets

Well, this was the closest I ever came to attending a post season major league baseball game. The was the final season of Shea Stadium and I had not been able to get down to the NYC for a game that year. This would have been a perfect farewell to a ballpark […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

the deadcast found a sweet lost tape of donna & keith singing "sweet inspiration," an important tune to them, written by her lifelong pals spooner oldham & dan penn. (the last time we texted was when i'd just seen spooner with neil young.) i pulled that bit of […] [Original post on heads.social]

Please, please, please Kamala Harris, we are all begging you... Do your book tour and then go home! We want fresh voices for 2028! #kamala #kamalaharris #2028 #election #democrat #presidentialelection

A world of incomparable refinements still fingered tremulously in porcelain and varnish, yielding an instant of emotion before its dissolution into purest thought. There was no boastfulness, no striving after effect, no concentrated attack upon the feelings of the beholder. These delicate […]

Dawn and sunrise this morning, Oct 19th, from Buck Hill! Back to a more usual level of solitude this morning. Just myself and one other early riser. #BuckHill #BlueHills #BlueHillsReservation #Boston #BostonWX #BostonMA #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Photography […] [Original post on c.im]

This is perhaps my least favorite user experience on Mastodon. I always read from the most recent post down, so I only ever click on 'Load older posts'. I wish there was an option to just automatically do this. Maybe there is and I don't know how to do it. For […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Just a reminder that all of us living in the United States of America came here from some place else, either immigrating ourselves or immigrating via our ancestors. Here is Donald Trump's immigrant family history. Frederick Trump paternal grandfather, born Kingdom of Bavaria, immigrated to USA […]

The Towers of Chestnut Hill (9.1 mi), 250 Hammond Pond Pkwy, Chestnut Hill MA photographed from Buck Hill. Above the left tower is The Pinnacle (61.3mi), Lyndeborough NH. The Pinnacle is very difficult to see or photograph. I have many photos of this view from the last […] [Original post on c.im]

Saw a pretty good Sun Dog today. Hard to photograph as the sun was very bright and still pretty high above the horizon. Very distinct false suns to both the left and right. #sundog #atoptics

Michael Baron this morning on the Just Mets blog, holding nothing back. "The Cohens spent $340 million on the 2025 payroll. The team won 83 games, which equates to $4.1 million per win. That’s a hell of a lot of coin for them to be sitting at home today, rather than in a hotel in Los Angeles […]

Today, Sep 14th, is the 24th anniversary of one of the more remarkable events to take place in the days following the September 11th terrorist attacks. I like to refer to it as Barbara Lee Day. A reminder of one of the most remarkable and courageous votes in recent US political history. "The […]
