This critique of dealing with the media in general and the New York Times in particular is A. Better written than almost anything the NYT puts out and B. Spot-on and utterly damning. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

My Fist of Resistance is back at home after three months of lighting the way to the door of Democratic headquarters in Newtown CT. I offer to loan it to @repjahanahayes.bsky.social for midterms, if she wants! It is clearly doing its job. We swept on Tuesday, won every race. @ctdems.bsky.social

I am reminded today that I once looked at Dick Cheney and thought "Well, that's about as fascist as you can get in America and still get elected." So naive.

I saw Bruce Springsteen at the very beginning of his career, before "Born to Run." And I saw him on Broadway a couple of years ago. Nothing in between. Not a fanatic, in other words. Saw the movie yesterday. It's good, better than the reviews. It's not about the music though.

I always wanted more from Obama. But being disappointed in a president is so much better than being horrified by one.

I'm going to. Starting now. Vote for Mayor Z!!

"Billionaires back Cuomo with huge donations" while government shutdown halts food benefits in NYC probably is not a great closing argument for Andrew.

My anti-FAshion statement.

well, my autopsy came back negative. what does that mean

Even if this is a false positive -- #AVG and #Avast have some explaining to do. Because when software starts flagging political/academic material as malicious, it is VERY GODDAMNED SUSPICIOUS.

POWERLESS is at last a book! The story of a storekeeper trying to carve out a little freedom in the West Coast People's Democratic Republic, and of the WCPDR trying to carve out a little in a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist world. www.amazon.com/Powerless-Ha...

WHY are they putting Trump in 2028 presidential polling? If he's still president then it will NOT be because he won an election. currently.att.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Taking photos this morning at the #NewtownCT 63rd Labor Day parade. You may recognize, marching/strolling ... Connecticut Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas, Treasurer Erick Russell, Gov. Ned Lamont and Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz. More in the alt text.

Ever feel like you're one of just a very few good neurons left in a diseased brain? And I don't even watch zombie movies.

Sometimes it is, in fact, over before it's over.

Reading includes a wide range of benefits, Professor Thomsen said, including the promotion of well-being and empathy for different perspectives. “It’s a problem if people don’t read books,” he said, “because that’s where people are confronted with complex ideas.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/w...

Found at a nth-hand store. From a simpler time.

It was not icy at all. I exercised no caution. But I did, of course, walk like a penguin. Like I need an excuse.

When big companies send me notices on how to keep my data safe, they never say that the one sure way is to delete it all and cut them off.

I was looking at my latest follows and I want to make it known that you are welcome even if you do not have really big boobs.

RIP Tom Lehrer. I expect they'll play this one at the memorial service. www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAE...

I think it is important to remember that scientists laugh at headlines like this, too. New study reveals Uranus generates its own heat share.google/wgRyD5ah9XW3...

It is absurd to think that A.I. can hallucinate as well as humans can.

Let's face it, the bigtime shitposters here are all skeetsophrenic.

@jakevig.bsky.social Set my noise-cancelling headphones on high and now I can only hear like four people + birds.

Vampires have outcisors instead of incisors, right?

@unfitz.bsky.social An influencer wanted Babe Ruth’s old apartment. The co-op board said no. It was you, wasn't it. I only read the headline.

I used to have a ringtone of really loud seagulls but it led to too many people in the checkout line dropping their groceries and ducking and rolling so I changed it to owl screeches.

It is my birthday and we are going to see "The Comedy of Errors" ... The play, not the government. The comedy, not the horror story. youtu.be/UrQ5ojaVxFs

I want to go on Fox News and explain how the government tracks you by using the bar codes on produce that you buy.

What's up? This is what went down. Everything went sideways. I know I'm right. There's nothing left. ...

The first sequel should have been Cretaceous Park and the prequel should have been Triassic Park and the whole thing should have been called the Mesozoic Trilogy and YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

Holy freakin' sportballs. 20% of youth sports parents think their kid has the ability to play NCAA Div. I, and 10% think their kid can be a pro athlete. 2% of kids in youth sports will play NCAA Division I. High schoolers who make it to the pros: 3 in 1,000. www.aspeninstitute.org/wp-content/u...

I really think this is quite catchy.

If I can't prove I'm not a robot, what happens then?

Why doesn't life have save points, the way video games do?

Why are there never any GOOD side effects?

Killed off Hulu with ads because too many ads but have to say, posthumously, that "Smells like Ashley" is now a catchphrase in my house.

Trump was going to post GREENLAND YOUR NEXT" but golf.

Before this relationship gets any more serious, I really need to know: What advertising experiences do you offer?

Trump's bellicose stance toward Iran is a clear warning to Canada and Greenland.

One of the most pernicious accomplishments of the Republican Party, over my lifetime, has been persuading so very many voters that smart people are not to be trusted.

I'm good with ads on streaming as long as there are none for drugs, insurance, cell service, cars, travel destinations, cruises, other TV shows, movies, cosmetics, candy, food, beverages, cleaning products, personal hygiene, pet stuff, college, financial services, clothing, babies ...
