@dicknixon.bsky.social How cool is it for those catchers to be able to work with Yadi? Ozzie and Waino are also at the Cards' spring training despite this team being filled with a bunch of kids. Top Cards' prospect JJ Wetherholt is working out with Ozzie and said "that guy's a genius!"

Looks like a post-punk trio doing the cover shoot for their next album

The MAGA school boards are still at it…

Repeated government lying, warned Hannah Arendt, makes it impossible for citizens to think and to judge

I’m reading the 3rd book in Ian Toll’s Pacific trilogy, Twilight of the Gods. I am working through the recapture of Manila and the atrocities committed by the Japanese against the civilian population as well as US POWs and am struggling with the scale. At least 100,000 dead, often brutally.

Paella night!

Most Americans continue to hold negative views of the U.S. economy, as has been the case for the last six years. At the top of Americans’ economic concerns? The costs of health care and housing, as well as the price of food and consumer goods. www.pewresearch.org/...

Does AI already have human-level intelligence? The evidence is clear

Edtech: Big Profits for Companies, Little Learning for Students? Educational technology promised better learning. Evidence suggests modest gains and many unintended effects. Maybe the real question is not whether we use edtech, but how and why. theeconomyofmeaning.com/2026/02/04/e...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

1/My wife and I have lived in Philly for 20+ years and we just had a serious conversation about what would happen if ICE/CBP tried the tactics they are doing in MN here. Our local leadership, esp our DA Larry Krasner, is not going to sit idly by. But also, people in this city can be super nice

Holy shit:

Reading Ian Toll's trilogy on the Pacific War and am finishing vol 2 that ends with the Battle of Saipan and whew. Tough stuff.

1/Regarding the slavery exhibit at the President's House at Independence Hall, Mayor Parker's administration has filed a lawsuit--in 2006 there was an agreement between the city and the federal govt that no changes

Beltran just made it to Cooperstown. Here's my favorite moment--Game 7 of the NLCS in NY, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, bases loaded, Adam Wainwright on the mound for the Cards. youtu.be/tWNe6cMsdsI?...

WTF is this??? May need to put my lawn chairs in my parking spot early…

Hmmmm… that’s a mighty big wasp nest. Might need to do something about it while it’s cold.

Just ordered a sweatshirt with a giant VFW logo in case those ICE fuckers come to Philly--If I get caught on camera protesting, then I want everyone to see I'm a veteran.
