As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

You know, I want to ask you about the pizza, but I’m hesitant. :-) (Pizzeria Staiano dal 1964 & Franco Gallifuoco Pizzeria are presently on my short list.)
So sorry to hear that. That is the hardest part about owning animals that you love. Letting them go. Still have two cats, and I don’t relish that thought. Wishing you the best.
Goats don’t respect sh*t! And this video proves it: youtu.be/nXjnagPujjE?...
I totally thought that said ‘Cascades Porn, Banff’, which would be appropriate.
Y que lastima..
Cuban food is amazing! I’m originally a Tampa boy, so I grew up on it.
Where can I get naranjas agrias, para hacer a proper mojo, in Philadelphia? The central Americans at Produce Junction think I’m insane when I ask that question.
And if you ever talk to Akhil Reed Amar, tell him that his books are great for making me fall asleep at 3:15 AM. :-)
Virginia Woolf, “I think I found the origin of our water source problem. Let me wade into this river and clear the drain. Just need a couple of rocks to decrease my buoyancy…“
Making pancakes right now! It is my Sunday vibe.
Grew up in Tampa. Not gay, but I knew a lot of gay guys when we worked together at The Tampa Tribune back in the ‘80s. They would hang out at the “El Goya“ bar because it was a safe space. We all got along. How is it that 45 years later we’ve taken so many steps backwards?
Now calculate the differential of the truck weight, traveling at 60 miles an hour, and each of those boxes falling out of the back of the truck at some regular interval. :-)
Yikes, JD Vance better hope JD Vance doesn’t hear about this!
That’s fantastic. I was able to fall back asleep. (I really need to get some Magnesium Glycinate).
Sorry to hear that. That’s always the saddest part about the love we share for our animals.
Nice gams. Thanks for posting!
I saw 1975 when I was 12. Me and my buddy Chris snuck in. Scared the crap out of us.
Hiking is good for the soul.
And it wouldn’t be so bad if I had some Frank Pepe’s slices to keep me company.
@jbf1755.bsky.social 3:15 AM. Anybody up? :-)
I miss 1985.
I love the scene at the end, after she shoots Robert Mitchum. She calls the sheriff and says something like “I’ve shot something wild and it’s in holed-up in my barn.”
Oh, do you know if there’s a cathedral honoring Arnold of Soissons, the patron saint of beer? :-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_...
I may be the only one who has a different opinion on this: the data is located in an AWS S3 bucket on the Gov Cloud, a highly secure, sequestered off area that Amazon runs for the Government. Very difficult to crack. Now, what they may have done with the data is a different story, I.e. Palantir.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Thanks, I’m willing to try. Now I need to keeps the two cats from sleeping on me and hogging the bed…
Agreed! Glad you are still with us.
So glad I live in Pennsylvania – we have PA Choice which allows us to shop for the lowest prices nationwide. Locked in a great price per kWH earlier this year so except for T&D, my bills haven’t gone up that much.
@gvaughnjoy.bsky.social A few weeks ago, we made the pilgrimage to 24 Derby Road, Port Washington, New York - we were in the area and just had to see it. Quite overgrown and much different from the movie.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
Seriously, the up-shot is that the poorly educated will perish while the well read will seek scientific treatments. What did Scrooge say about “reducing the surplus population”?
Yes, Eric, but I’ll never forget this day when Jethro Tull beat out Metallica for heavy metal album of the year! digital.abcaudio.com/news/day-feb...
@in-otter-news.bsky.social Can Steve do this? :)
Some, possibly, sooner than others. :-)
An eternal beauty. And her daughter too!

I always fancied this version.
Charon awaits, his bony hand outstretched to receive the tribute.
Brilliant! I always try to get my two cats doing that when they watch birds and chipmunks but as soon as I start filming, they stop!
@dbellingradt.bsky.social
Looking forward to it! Thanks for the reply.
Still have a 2011 MacBook Pro that I use every day; Dropped in an SSD and increased the memory. Made all the difference in the world. And that’s not even the oldest Mac I have in the house! They do last a long time.
Lechon?
@romansempire.bsky.social Totally agree! That’s why I purchased my MacBook Pro M3 Max, I opted for 1 terabyte. I really think it’s the minimum now. apple.news/AvllC1cJFTDS...

@jadahparadox.bsky.social Took the plunge and swapped out my old sink garbage disposal for a new one. Had the confidence because you said it was easy a couple years ago! You were right. Thanks!
I actually have Firefox with the uBlock Origin add-on running on an ancient MacBook Pro. Surprisingly responsive.
In russia if you get a government job, you're set for life. But the only way to get promoted in said government job is to help your supervisor embezzel money. As long as you pay your putin tax (50% of what you steal) That's what DJT is trying to turn the USA into. Think about that for a moment.
@goingmedieval.bsky.social may have a perspective on this.
He sounds like this guy.
Beautiful. We will be in Naples this month. Plan to go down Herculaneum. Any suggestions on particular antiquities or examples not to miss?
Still trying to find those socks on Amazon. :-)
Does Arsenal continue to walk it on?

@fearandhunger.bsky.social are you working overtime?
I had the same reaction when Gyro II, across from Penn Station, closed a few years ago. only it wasn’t for renovation. What a tragedy.

And all my MAGA friends, believe it without questioning it.
Definitely a video worth watching. 200th anniversary of Marbury v Madison at Georgetown law school in 1989. I was there for this. It was amazing. www.c-span.org/program/publ...

And, we don’t want it either. Don’t go down the same road.
Looks like Ken was a naughty boy—again!
And Chrome is a huge memory hog. I’ve resorted using Firefox when Safari doesn’t suffice.

Convenience store/gas station sushi. What could go wrong? :-)
Just in case you forgot…
I don’t understand why every elected Democrat is not having a press conference every single day. What happened to calling for the Epstein files? What is there not more outcry about the CDC and about the military takeover of DC? What is going on? Where are your colleagues in the House?
Because the big guy in charge hates the same people they hate and that’s all that matters.
I make that point to my wife all the time!
Limp.
Mamoun’s at 2:00am in the old days. Great memories.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

$.15. That’s an oldie.
It would also be interesting to correlate a normalized mean income level and retirement savings for each class of vehicle ownership; e.g. do owners make a sacrifice by using their car/truck as an emblem of belief systems, leading to a positive or negative financial outcome…
Y un gato!!
OK, you totally have to post some shots from that Pentax 110. I remember when they came out. I had just gotten my K-1000 and that Pentax 110 format had come out. Always thought those negatives were too small, but it could’ve been just a function of needing high-quality optics.
Outside loop mishap?
Sin leche?
What about cafe con leche?
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
"I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. " - 1985 Published 11 years BEFORE Fox News went online in 1996.
We have become this.
