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.

This is the clear winner.

Until Covid 19 reduced that base.

No arrests in Boston, as reported by WCVB channel 5.
It was a beautiful, peaceful rally.

Assuming the population of the US is 375 million, that’s $106.66 for every person.
I’ll pay it when my money for participating in No Kings comes in.

Check out Road Scholar. We did a similar Seine River cruise last year. Not quite as luxurious as Viking, but also educational and with interesting people. Lots of retired academics. And a few $ less.

Hmm. Perhaps we should be looking at polluting INDUSTRIES and the forever chemicals and endocrine inhibitors they are spewing into the air, water and earth. And holding them accountable- like RFK Jr. used to claim he wanted to do before he went brainworm crazy.

So, use taxpayer money to prop up investor class. Got it.

I do think letting Nixon walk led to letting the Iran Contra leaders walk which led to letting the financial scammers walk which led to the insurrection leaders walking. A lot of this in the name of unifying the nation while the perpetrators retooled and got worse.

So what happened to that first batch of white Boers? Are they contributing to community? Anyone know of any follow-up?

Do you think it’s a coincidence that no frog costumes are available using Amazon Prime and all the rest have additional shipping costs and arrive closer to Halloween than October 18?
Bezos wants to impede the protests but still sell for Halloween.
End stage capitalism sucks.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that no frog costumes are available using Prime? And that most do not arrive until after the 18th - even with additional cost for shipping?

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. It’s the soundtrack to the scientific apocalypse we are living in! I follow @ellecordova.bsky.social here but this wasn’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.

I’ll use them for tips to all the workers who won’t be taxed on tips. Oh, wait…

Isn’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 wasn’t read by anyone anymore. I peaked too late, 😂.

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.
