I like salamanders, fish and art. I love my kids and grandkids. And I loathe fascists. Public schools, Pell Grants and work-study enabled me to live a comfortable life. I want the same for everyone. Antiques Roadshow groupie.

The wildness of sanctuary - The Boston Globe As I wandered a Mass Audubon wildlife preserve, I reflected on the paradoxes of such a place.

Love this! So talented and creative. Itโ€™s the soundtrack to the scientific apocalypse we are living in! I follow @ellecordova.bsky.social here but this wasnโ€™t posted. This was from TikTok! Enjoy!

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

You have brought light and brevity into a world ( social media) where both are needed! Thank you!

Those ice goons will have major ptsd every Halloween. And probably expect a government funded disability pension because of it.

Isnโ€™t it great? Your 15 minutes of fame!
I was once quoted in Scientific American. Freaking SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. About Woolly Bear caterpillars. I was so excited, until one of my kids pointed out that mag wasnโ€™t read by anyone anymore. I peaked too late, ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Not the Berkshires! We are bluer than blue here! Magats stay under their rocks.
I certainly see more signs supporting MAGA when I go to the Cape. And one of my kids lives in Bristol County- that area is ridiculously pro MAGA.

People have a funny idea of Massachusetts. I live in Western Mass. We have mountains, rivers, lakes and lots of forests. The Emerald Necklace around Boston have those - well, Blue Hills arenโ€™t really mountains, but I digress.
You also get the ocean, beaches and islands. I envy you that.

Like Thomas Crooks? That is the biggest cover up among big cover ups.

I have such a hard time believing that people actually subscribed to Patelโ€™s podcast.
But then I remember that half of all people are below average.

Network TV is hastening their own death. No one under 50 watches it.
Colbert already has a Netflix deal.
Iโ€™m canceling cable.
Colbert Kimmel 2028. Just like Zelenskyy.

Colbert/Kimmel 2028.
Follow the example of Zelenskyy.

Tsarnaevโ€™s wife ( granddaughter of a George HW Bush CIA associate) just faded into the sunset.
Still one of those things that puzzle me, but then again, what do we know of the Butler PA rooftop shooter?

Someone should tell Ted that they make grey primer now. Just a helpful hint from someone who once saw it on HGTV.

Spent part of my afternoon looking at damaged artworks that were produced after paper transitioned to wood pulp (16th /17th century) from cloth rags. Acid damage is serious. The degradation was noticeable. Most cannot be restored.
Tech innovations are not always positive.
Entropy is a constant.

Just saw a video- tough guys ( Hegseth, Vance,Trumpet Al) all looked terrified- kind of surprised the Sectet Setvice let protesters get that close.

Viagra was originally developed for hypertension and angina. ED was off label.

Jones gen boomer. Voted for Clinton twice. Donโ€™t be distracted by the shiny object. Trials for everyone involved in this sordid abuse of children. That includes royalty, billionaires and politicians.

By JDโ€™s reasoning, the Sackler family should be assassinated and pharma execs as well. Itโ€™s like heโ€™s channeling the Luigi cultists.
Note- I disagree with any vigilante violence.
