Hey, my sincere condolences. I've been offline for a bit, but @kristenkurtis.bsky.social broke the news for me this morning.
Loved Dan's writing. We hung out at a Phils BPS way back when a whole month was $40. He posted a pic, and I asked where he was sitting and joined him for 6 innings.
Tragic.

@shawnmerwin.bsky.social Hey! Kudos on the WOTC gig. Great news, well deserved and good for the entire gaming landscape.
Hope you're still running your amazing classes for the next generation as well.

Abington Library has offered a safe space for LGBTQ+ kids for years. It’s now the subject of a far-right social media campaign. A right-wing social media campaign has circulated misinformation and directed threatening language at the Rainbow Connections program at the Abington Township Public Library.

@prisonculture.bsky.social I grew up in this area. Sorry to see this.

So what you're saying is we know where the murderer is?

Look at my law professor dog.

It will then be illegal for them to murder and brutalize whomever they please, unlike now.

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaks at a press conference

Mayor Jacob Frey: “There’s little I can say again that will make this situation better, but I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE — To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis”

I wish more officials would abandon decorum when situations are truly egregious

I have been to many crime scenes, protests, riots and police shootings in my career and I’ve never seen a cop in an actual heated situation filming with their phone. This guy wasn’t fearing for his life; he was filming content.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

I miss spool day.

Alright, my holiday break is over. I thank my Union brothers and sisters, many of them now long retired for negotiating the time off. It really makes life more livable to have time off from work. I’m very lucky. May more people form and join unions to have a better life.

These civic events are fun. Come!

I think Schumer is trying to distract us from the fact that he doesn't do his fucking job.

Chuck Schumer: The Trump administration lied to me in three separate briefings about their plans for Venezuela.

The Democrats: WE DEMAND A FOURTH BRIEFING IMMEDIATELY.

by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion;
