The crowd has gone silent at Cuomo's party.

From the Depths - William Balfour Ker's 1906 image of the poor literally holding up a ballroom in which the rich are partying, though one raised fist has broken through the floor, to the consternation of someone who looks like Henry James

Pretty sure that's Henry James on that chair..

A November 1, 2025 Facebook post from Vienna Bakery, in Barringon, RI, that reads: "We know some have fallen into some hard times , we just want you to know if you are hungry , your children are hungry please come in we will give you something to eat and drink ! Just ask for the Bakery Special ! We will cash you out with a zero balance sale so everyone is comfortable !"

Good stuff from Vienna Bakery, in Barrington, R.I.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

I was reflecting this morning on why I love the cartographic community so much:

Map makers are often competent technology people but they have too much invested in art, the humanities and the sciences to ever be "techies."

Our essay on flooding the zone with AI:

"Police focus on ladder placed against the side of the Louvre"

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

well I can't access Canvas but I sure do have a fun new example of the harms of consolidation for my public policy class

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

On Saturday October 18th, I’m asking you to attend the No King’s March in your local communities. We have witnessed the increasing authoritarianism and its policies in our country. We dissent.

My least favourite words that I wish we could put into room 101 are
#Attendance #resilience both have been weaponised against vulnerable people as the priority over health and mental well being. We are not failing by taking care of ourselves, the government is.

There really are only two groups of people who are against some kind of universal/socialized health care. People who have never experienced it or people who profit from the existing system.

Water broke at 3:55am, contractions commenced and then immediately slowed down so now it's a long, slow, epidural grind waiting for baby to show!

Anyway give the Maine Med nurses everything they ask for in their union contract

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

When I was young
I thought I’d help
this world
by writing novels.

But I grew up,
and when I was older
I thought I’d help
this world
by educating others.

But I grew up,
and now, even older
I think I don’t know
how to help this world
so I’ll wear a mask
until I figure that out.

Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

Hello Bsky Friends! It’s high time I sent you a sappy thank you note. I live a fairly isolated life and would be quite lonely if not for you. Some say social media friends aren’t “real life,” but to me you are just as real as if I’d met you face to face. Maybe even more so in some ways. 1/2
