You should hear me complaining a blue streak when I ride my bike in Rochester, which is as frequently possible. People parking in the “bike lanes,” drivers coming as close as possible, drivers yelling at me to get on the sidewalk. & repair workers, leaving big metal plates in the middle of the road.

The firing of the Librarian of Congress is worse than many appreciate. The Librarian is appointed for a ten year term by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The position is nonpartisan and runs the critically important Congressional Research Service. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

@airbnbhelp.bsky.social you used to support hosts but I just wasted 2 hours trying to get paid a payout you had erroneously withheld after I bent over backwards to be flexible for a long term guest.

Netanyahu, not to be out done by Fotus, decided that now was a good time for genocide instead of moving onto phase 2 of the ceasefire, because that beachfront property isn’t going to clear itself. 400 civilians dead so far.

Thousands of Ides of Trump postcards should have reached the White House mailroom by yesterday. Where is the media coverage of these thousands of cards flooding the capital? Selling out postcard stamps across the nation.
