This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

Trump tells protesters in Iran to ‘take over,’ promising U.S. help. But here in the US he’s crushing protesters? Talk about Idiocy!

For the love of books, please don't put clear sleeves on your books' dust jackets without wiping off the dust and the sticker residue 😩
Wipe the book gently with 70% rubbing alcohol if the cover is glossy, or dust thoroughly if it has a papery finish.
Otherwise you're basically begging for foxing.

On Jan. 14, a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing framed as an inquiry into the safety of medication abortion. In reality, it will be an opportunity for the committee’s antiabortion majority to showcase junk science and misleading narratives to undermine access to mifepristone.

The Spurs and Victor Wembanyama say the NBA's 65-game awards threshold isn't the only a factor in his return-from-injury plan.
But it is definitely on the list.

Can Wemby stay healthy enough to win Defensive Player of the Year?
Helping Wembanyama reach the required 65-game awards threshold isn't the only thing guiding the Spurs' approach, but it is somewhere on the list.

Another Cambridge street painting. I think these old views of people dressed up and thronging the streets in celebration of their exams being over are a bit of an antidote to what's going on now (original sold a long time ago). Direct watercolour no predrawing.

Well! Kicked ass at archery last night, and while that was going on, completely unknown to me I was selected to join the club’s indoor team for a regional competition in February. Exciting and not bad after just a year of shooting!

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
