On This Day in 1975, David Bowie performed a medley with Cher on her syndicated television show. I quite like both of them, but for fifty years this performance has left me speechless.

In 2003, BowieNet friends from around the world sent me snow globes for my 45th birthday in NYC. It is time for the snow globes to find new homes. Come get one or more if you like.

On This Day in 1963, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was 46. I was five and in the first grade. The nuns sent us home. Everyone was sad.

Things that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social opposes: fire trucks, airports, police, paved roads, public schools, CDC, sewage systems, libraries, SNAP, Medicaid, and public hospitals. The list goes on. He’s a fucking idiot. #HakeemJeffries #neoliberal #VichyDemocrats
Top democrats vote to condemn socialism. Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, and Ted Lieu. They all oppose fire trucks, airports, paved roads, public schools, sewage systems, libraries, and public hospitals.

CHICAGO TEACHER: "This morning at 7:45, I marked a junior student absent—not because he was sick or overslept. ICE had snatched him up on his way to school. His main priority was getting his reading done for English class." (H/T @CTULocal1)
