What's happening with warships/Venezuela?
Perhaps not for your newsletter, but do you have any inkling as to how JD and backers view S Miller?
You really should have added a tiny sprig of parsley as your daily greens.
But Long Covid.
Do you have any inkling as to how Vance and backers view S Miller?
Do you by any chance have any inkling on how the Tech boys' view on S Miller?
Do you by any chance know how this lot views S Miller? Thanks.
2.30AM call on a holiday weekend, I read. 🤯
Geez, I thought YOU were in an accident. Phew.

So good to see you do non-work stuff, too.
Your solo episode on BackStory. I had never heard so much joy and laughter from a teacher. I had a handful of "good" teachers in my life, but none who blatantly and unashamedly enjoyed their work. And I come from a family of teachers.
Two good guys...
Sir, I believe you got the underwear wrong.
... "don't" they?
I appreciate and respect your tireless work, I really do, but... Oh, for flaming florescent orange fuck sake!
I feel for the NG folks. I'm sure some are eager supporters, but in the first place these folks volunteer their time/energy to do good for their local community, aren't they?
JD disappeared him.
Trump’s ICE goons now literally arresting firefighters. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Ahahahaha. How exhausting.
And all the very best, brightest, and fullest life to your son.
This oldie says ditch the powerful oldies in the org; follow Mamdani, Newsom, Crockett, AOC, Frost, The Two Justins... Please! Yours sincerely.
This IS what you/Bolt do, isn't it, make us aware of local elections, before and after.
Lordy, I deleted when I came here because nobody was posting over there.
This just reminded me I used to laugh when my mom said she had the children's TV shows on when we were all in school; she said the house was too quiet, although when we were home she wanted some quiet, please!
... What the actual incandescent orange fuck???
French toast, made of the loaves I baked, which are usually OKish at best.
..... 🤯
Shady Vance... good one.
And there I was, too busy reading about all the latest on Covid, while listening to all the free opera and Shakespeare...
Stop leaking; get well.
If you hadn't posted, I was about to ask... :-)
You are... tireless. I hope you have a (small) team behind you, or else I don't know how you manage a day job, all the hiking and swimming, cats/husband, cooking with thyme, and this. I'm sure there are many more things we don't know about. Kia Kaha, as NZ Maori say.
We appreciate any bits we can get from you. Including, ahem, weight-lifting being (one of the more) interesting Olympic sports. I never forgot that one. :-D
Alright. Thank you anyway. I shall go after the clips, then.
I'd be interested in the original version. Do you have a link handy? I did a simple search and couldn't find it, but will try harder later. Thanks.
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.
When you strip away humanity
On the protest against the bill in Kyiv, standing by a guy with a poster “how many more fucking posters will I have to make”
This is excellent. In three minutes she explains how democracies become dictatorships. It's happened so many times, yet in each country, most people said, 'it can't happen here'
Always carry an emergency banana.
I'm trying to think of the last time a politician made me belly laugh and I'm honestly not sure it ever happened. He's magnificent.
Wow, not just feeding the world. If only we could stop the madness.
Ukraine has really been at the forefront of accessibility because so many people use wheelchairs or other devices now. - new rail cars with compartments for 2 wheelchair users and 2 companions - electric lift with capacity of up to 300 kg - increased door and corridor width - navigation in Braille
Horrible start/reason, but let Ukraine be the top manufacturer/exporter in a world aging rapidly, also.
I have been thinking about this also, but a 180-degree turnaround and/or dichotomy coexisting is not new; "Christian" values vs infidelities, lies; White Supremacists & anti-anti-Semites... I don't understand such fealty to an individual regardless of beliefs/behaviors. To me, this makes it a cult.
Dear me, this was a hard comment to read, but this is what they do in religious cults, isn't it?
They've come this far, possibly severing ties with loved ones. Will they go now, admit wrong-doing??
I'm not convinced pedophilia is a MAGA deal breaker, though.
What, no necklace at the gym? 🤔
Me trying to picture you with different necklaces for each of these occasions. Incl bird house cleaning.
No worries, do you know if it will be on your own or NCHE channel? Or you can tell us when the move is complete. (Completed??)
Oh, over HERE?? I waited/refreshed on @jbf1755.bsky.social Youtube channel forever, thinking Youtube was just slow to load. Duh me!!
Overhead at a boring old supermarket. Prancing daughter (9??) asks, "But Mom, if you COULD have only one baby, did you want a boy or a girl?" Mom grabs a random product to study the label; Sister (12?) rolls her eyes; Dad slows down to increase distance. "But MO-UMH-MMM??"
Good history, which you've probably seen already: bsky.app/profile/swin...

You've probably seen this, but, hey, history: bsky.app/profile/swin...
Fascinating thread about the "Indian" diaspora to and out of Uganda, among many other places, with connections to Mr Mamdani.
Happy 4th of July
Explaining Canada Day To Americans
Madam, if I am unable to fix your problem, please let me stop you from falling to pieces.
Guest asked the speaker's name. "We live on the same street in Rotorua." My home town has roughly the same population as NZ; we kind of almost didn't believe him.
Decades before I moved here, I met a Kiwi at a bus stop in Honolulu. He was travelling through Japan later so I invited him to come stay with us. On his first evening, Dad came home and told us they had a geothermal specialist from NZ speak at his university that day.
🔥 WATCH: “I came here to return this award to the @cityofsantaana & the mayor… This isn’t political. It’s principle." Local Rapper @jaytaj condemns Mayor Valerie Amezcua’s response to anti-ICE protests and excessive use of force by police
I'm not being disrespectful. I think it's figuratively testosterone-driven. I often wonder about it when I see just-washed&waxed, meaninglessly large pick up trucks hogging two spaces in a supermarket parking lot. (Sorry, English not first language.)
Ah, much deeper than my "boys will be boys." Which is why you are the prof and I'm lazily retired. 😅
I always wondered what got you into violence in the first place. Studying it, of course.

Your signature smile after some hard days in Seattle. Yay!!
I remember reading this on Twitter some years ago. And how lucky you were to have had him in your life. This, and Christina's brother's story were my most memorable takeaway from Indy Sage.
Thank you.
Testing wastewater has been limited to a few major centres, yes???
I had to.
Thank you, you have restored my faith in you!!
A small point: 22 and 23 are girls, but 27 is a man?
Thank you for the link. It's helped inform me beyond the headlines and the short, sharp "Why I oppose" statements. I am interested in spending some time this evening to read your older posts.
Does the Golden Dome have something to do with this?
Thank you very much.
I'm still recovering from your Putamayo connection, so maybe in smaller doses? But seriously, congrats to all of you.
Will you let us know in due course how the old but unexpired text kits cope with the new strains, please?
What kind of an interesting/fascinating family do you come from???
Thank you, Professor.
I wonder if you would touch on the gap bet. the highly educated and the... "diner" people. I completely agree higher ed is important, (a prof's kid,) but the media tells me the latter elected that guy. No disrespect to diners, or those without "higher degrees" who are well-informed, of course.
You were one of the very few who discussed this - the first I found. Also remember you getting dismissed so casually on a podcast.
This could turn into your full-time job!
How many hours have you got?
Goodness, this is the second LB post that totally changed my world view!
So we talk about them, for a nanosecond, instead of all the other shenanigans? (I am shocked I can spell "shenanigans" without relying on autocorrect these days.)
In a way, those of us outside the US seem more aware.
Thank you so much. I have a flu jab next week - will considering having it at the same time, or a little while later. Thank you once again.
Latest recommendation, that is. I'll be 67 tomorrow, old, but in general OK health.
What is the latest on Covid jabs these days, please? I had my last, (6 or 7) in..... September??
I've never seen parental response that were SO not sugar-coated and overly soppy. You are model parents. (80% chance you don't even remember what brought on her protest?) Meg
