Watching “Duster” on Max. It’s a lot of fun.

🔴 Brand new comic now up on @boingboing.net - "A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport" after Richard Scarry - boingboing.net/2025/06/04/t...

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

Israeli settlers set fire to homes while families were still inside, according to Palestinian media reports about an arson attack on a village in the occupied West Bank.

Just what we need: MORE quantbrain research to support doing what polls well right now. Instead of taking action and leading to rally the public behind us. The quantbrain poll-addiction is going to kill us

Took a much-needed detour on our trip to visit the Flight 93 Memorial. Incredibly well done—thoughtful and powerful—to evoke the gravitas of the once-empty field transformed to a place of rest for the 40 souls lost that day. #WeWillNeverForget #September11 #UAL93 #aviation

I’m once again instrument current. That little jog around the end when I was headed to the GPS 32 at Lawrence was when ATC had to box me around for sequencing.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding whiskey (or sometimes brandy), garnished with an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.

I just spent some time looking through some old floppies buried in my office closet. Found a bunch of interesting things there, including a telemanometer communications program I wrote on contract in 1989. I’d completely forgotten about it.

Good luck talking your tech-unsavvy relatives through the recommended fix on this one. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

unions: they get the job done

Ballroom Blitz is the only song where the singer checks if the other band members are ready before the song starts. He makes every other singer look like a thoughtless pig

No, I might not also like a podcast about Oprah. Please, please stop. I beg you.

one of my interests is shirley temple's 1967 congressional race, which she entered with millions of dollars and higher name recognition than the pope, and lost because she was really off-putting and campaigning as a viciously pro-war candidate at the exact moment the war was becoming a big liability

I’m asking for your donation. But it’s not for me. To defeat Andrew Cuomo and turn the page on corruption, we need strong candidates in this race like Speaker Adrienne Adams. NYC, give what you can before Monday night’s deadline!

Watching “Just One Look” on Netflix. Not great … but … are all Polish garages that nice? They’re so clean, well-lit, and spacious. I feel like I have to visit just for that.

acab includes itself, confounding naive set theorists

@paramountpictures.bsky.social If Paramount+ didn’t run the mandatory commercials WITH THE VOLUME SET AT 11 versus the program material at maybe 5, I probably wouldn’t bother muting them. Seems kinda counter-productive.

The mechanic looked it over in detail and found no trouble. I then flew a careful test flight and was successful - except that I couldn’t reproduce the problem.

Sure can't wait until that one coworker returns so that Teams will finally stop reminding me that they're on vacation.

Holy crap, this is shockingly bad. It reads like a C-average student’s last-minute “I forgot the paper was due tomorrow” essay. All diatribe and zero planning, resources, or scheduling. This had to have been the work of a political hack. www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.go...

One of the architectural models (a tiny house) my son made in college is being shown at the Venice Biennale Time Space Existence Palazzo Mora Exhibit. www.instagram.com/p/DJdrulIo68...

Local climate activists are on edge after people claiming to be FBI agents visited at least six at their homes on the same day in Greater Boston in March. Weeks later, the motivations behind these visits remain a mystery.

Last meal together at the soon to close El Taller. We certainly wish Antonio and Mary a healthy retirement.
