When suggesting we might get pizza for the #Thunder - #Pacers game tonight, I used a subtle approach… suno.com/song/f5a6654...

Hi there.

In case you can't make it to the theater…

We'll miss the comics when they're gone-some of them, anyway.

First flight lesson in a sailplane today. Great thermals and a patient instructor made for an amazing day : ) soarindy.org

Took my 360 camera for a motorcycle ride today and instead of editing the video myself, let the machine do it. Don't agree with all the choices, but it's fascinating to see how far the tech has come in just a couple years.

Love the sound of the birds just outside our front door

Taught English and social studies classes today as a substitute. Thoughtful eighth graders working on presentations about civil rights. Another class worked on advice they would have for younger kids. "Treat people nice," one boy said. "You don't know what they're going through."

Programs like this are in danger because of anti-DEI efforts. I am told it will help if these people get some likes on this video. beckman.illinois.edu youtu.be/O-RA9aRk7M0?...

My local Fox station asked me to come on to talk about the effect of cutting funding for public media. I tried to find somebody more qualified, but it's a sensitive topic for the stations. Did the best I could : )

The American people should know the facts about what the Trump administration is doing with our money. I laid them out in our @democrats-appropriations.house.gov hearing today.

I'm a candidate for the board in our neighborhood association and thought the campaign could use a headshot. Just can't decide between today's pic and the only slightly touched-up version from AI.

Holy cow, in a time of weekly off the charts, wacky developments, this one's really scary.

A #Michigan lawmaker's hard-hitting response three years ago has resurfaced as she launches a campaign for the U.S. Senate. "People who are different are not the reason that our roads are in bad shape after decades of disinvestment or that health care costs are too high..." MORE:

The @cpsc.gov, a federal agency dedicated to keeping unsafe products out of our homes, is now under threat, say lawmakers and safety advocates.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Against the suffering of migrants, people yanked off the street and destroying the institutions of government, public media funding doesn't seem like a big deal. Maybe that's the point of flooding the zone. tcom610.blogspot.com/2025/05/why-...

Imagine a spring afternoon in 1503. Lisa del Giocondo sits for her portrait with Leonardo da Vinci. What do you think they talked about? Made with ChatGPT 4.0 and Kling 2.0, h/t Saad Qureshi on LI.

My neighbors lost their house to a fire, and yesterday a priest came to bless the rebuilt home. That was a grim winter morning, but neighbors got them out of the cold, supplied blankets and shoes, and then raised money to help with living expenses. A lot of joy at this open house yesterday.

In the neighborhood just now. I don't know what kind of bird this is, but I think these crows were sounding some kind of alarm.
