Smoky, a new addition to our family. His first #caturday with us.

Maryland is in the Big 10? WTF? I miss the traditional conferences. Everything is so scrambled these days...

Mr Khalil’s arrest drew outrage from students and faculty at the university. Joseph Howley, a classics professor at Columbia, described him as brave, yet mild-mannered, a “consummate diplomat” who worked to find middle ground between protesters and school administrators. Mr Howley, who has […]

The Letterman YT channel just released a great clip of David Johansen performing his Animals Medley with the house band from Dec 1982. He also sits for an interview and does one additional tune. Pretty cool clip... https://youtu.be/_OewFqWI9y0

Please consider reading this and taking action. Tell Columbia University: Protect your students! STOP working with ICE! https://www.codepink.org/icecolumbia?source=direct_link

The US First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech doesn’t say anything about citizenship status. Leveraging immigration regulations to punish political dissenters is tyranny. There seem to be a lot of people out there who believe that non-citizens have or should have *no* legal rights (I […]

@j have you heard of this band? https://frankfutility.bandcamp.com/album/wicked-habits-wasted-heart I heard them on the radio this week. Looks like they are from your hood! Pretty good, very fuzzed out. I wish I could make out the words more.

Today marks the anniversary of the inauguration of John Adams in 1797. This occasion marked the first peaceful transition of power between heads of state. A cornerstone in the great experiment of democracy. (1/n) #JohnAdams #Peace

RIP David Johansen. The first real concert I ever attended was The Who in 1982, and David Johansen and his band opened the show. He performed a medley of three covers of The Animals which was really good. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/david-johansen-york-dolls-frontman-154953332.html […]

I’m old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and said “Mr Gorbachev, how much of east Germany’s minerals are you willing to give us?”

Just returned from wkly grocery shop at our local market, a Stop and Shop. Met group of Teamsters in the parking lot who told us about a boycott due to health care benefit dispute at a nearby distribution ctr in Freetown MA. If the union does not accept the terms of the health benefit reduction […]

Came across this photo I took last summer of a car in front of me in traffic. An intriguing vanity plate if you pick up on the reference.

BREAKING: A bunch of U.S. Digital Service employees (including me) were fired tonight. It's still unclear exactly how many. There is no visibility whatsoever into what determined who was let go. Legacy USDS (i.e., pre-DOGE) leadership was not involved in the decision about whom to let go and […]

The Fore River Bridge, a vertical lift bridge, in the raised position, photographed from Buck Hill. I have been up on Buck Hill a lot during the past two years, and yet yesterday was the first time that I have seen the Fore River Bridge in the raised position. I am […] [Original post on c.im]

Pregame interview hex... Super Bowl XLII Bradshaw interviewed Brady and talked as if Brady has already won the game and completed the perfect season. Today, Brady gets revenge asking Mahomes to use one word to describe himself when he completes the three-peat and Mahomes takes the bait. HEX! […]

I just followed an account from threads.net, but I don't see any posts for that user in the app (Moshidon/Android) but I see lots in the browser. I tried going to a single post in the browser, copying the url, and pasting in into the search in the app. I get... Could not find anything for […]

Anyone who goes through my post history, knows I work for Meta (Facebook). I am "Consumer Content Administrative Manager". My primary duties include content appeals, account appeals, account reviews, and some peer review. It is no surprise that my job depends on people using Facebook. Today […]

Please do not fall for the illusion or the lie that any action is too small. There is no action too small. In fact, when millions of us do tiny things, we can disrupt these systems. I'm not saying that getting in the game is going 100% to change the outcome, but it may, because we are in an […]

Just got an email from AOC comparing the chaos and fear of the Frump administration to The Wizard of Oz. "but genuinely: all of these big, scary things, it reminds me of the end of The Wizard of Oz, where you yank back the curtain — and it's a little guy. It's a small, scared, incompetent […]

The Jeremiah E Burke High School, 60 Washington St, Dorchester MA (6.37 miles) with five churches, photographed from Buck Hill. The high school building takes up almost the entire width of the image along the botton of the frame. The flag pole sits directly in front of […] [Original post on c.im]

Wow! This story seems to be getting ignored by the mainstream media. This is disgraceful! https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/28/switzerland-releases-deports-palestinian-american-journalist-ali-abunimah Where are you @BBC @nytimes ????

Gosh, just take the one point conversion already.

FOX announcer need some remedial arithmetic lessons. 27-15 is not a thirteen point lead.

#NowPlaying Genesis - A Trick of the Tail Atlantic 75 2lp 45rpm version This is my favorite #Genesis album so decided to indulge in this recent reissue to upgrade my early 80s us pressing. The textured gatefold cover is beautiful. Albums do sound really nice […] [Original post on heads.social]
