Let me get my power washer and set it on 11.

Not even close. #Mamdani will be #NewYork City mayor.

I wonder if those millions of people the red hat press said would leave NYC will do so or if they will just continue to live in Staten Island.

(And respect to #Sliwa, the Republican candidate for conceding with grace and maturity)

I know someone in VA who got gerrymandered up and the way it was described was some GOP mischief, I tell you. I hope that gets sorted out.

Looks like stuff I've seen atop Mt. Tam and in the Serpentine Prairie trail. It's definitely a Pretty.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

I view social media as an extension of my own social life and do not choose to hang around with people who not only don't care what I think, but also want to make money from my engagement with them.

Language is a moving target. At least us Old Farts are not living through The Great Vowel Shift.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Wrong funeral, but still a good one.

On the one hand, I am a bit appalled at the Louvre Museum's lack of attention to security. But on the other hand, I am impressed that it took this long for a bad theft to happen. Tells me that the French are, for the most part, honest and decent people (with bad passwords)

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

www.thesocialpost.it/2025/11/02/f...

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

They already live in Staten Island, which resembles New York the way a scooter resembles a Benz.

Good news for #plant nerds and #garden nuts. Kew, and other reputable institutions have vast libraries of plant specimens that, over the years, are collected in the field, pressed and documented. I've seen them at UC Davis. Very cool.

Kew Gardens @rbgkew.bsky.social · 2d

👏 Thanks to our amazing team, millions of Kew's specimens are already accessible globally — with even more to come.

Dive into the Kew Data Portal now to explore our collections! 🌱

The #weekend on #BlueSky is great because people take a moment to go nuts about sportsball and caturday and we can all breathe for a minute before going back into the hellhole of American politics.

Kaiser Permanente is really shitty about specialist appointments, so it's a fair complaint, but Donald Trump is not Santa Claus and doesn't care about anyone but himself.

Bonus about PV panels over parking lots is that you don't wind up with an insanely hot car, the wet umbrella/car key tango, or scraping snow off the windshield.

The best day of the week (unless you are a dog person). #Caturday !! Miss Thing was napping on the couch next to me while I was tubing out.
