Some observations on this map from the Michigan Democratic primary election for US Senate (from a guy who actually lives here)...
Imagine that part of your job involved digging up the graves of other people's relatives so a foreign company could profit. Imagine being a public employee looking at this idea. What would you think? These are my relatives. www.mlive.com/environment/...
Tribes may have to dig up ancient graves for Line 5 tunnel construction
Michigan approved the Enbridge project despite finding it could destroy burials and human remains, setting off accusations of betrayal against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Being complimented like this by @dieworkwear.bsky.social for my fashion has been a long-time goal of mine. What a start to the day!

They didn't have it tonight, but the Pistons gave us a fun season for the first time in a very very long time. They've got some roster changes to make, but I like the direction they're heading
Most Americans take for granted that they and their relatives will at have peace and dignity at least in death. For Indian people, even that is not guaranteed. Even today, in 2026. An incredible legal victory. www.courthousenews.com/fourth-circu...
Fourth Circuit orders Army to return children's remains to Nebraska tribe
Samuel Gilbert and Edward Hensley died in the 1890s at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. A Nebraska tribe says the bodies should be repatriated for proper burial.

In each of the last two games, the Detroit Pistons have made more field goals than the Cleveland Cavaliers - 13 more makes in two games. Cleveland has won both games. You might be wondering how they accomplished this feat. Cleveland has shot 72 free throws in that span. The Pistons have shot 30
Can't help but feel that the 3rd quarter of this game 4 will loom large when looking back on this season for the Pistons.
Reminder that the CFTC is already mandated by law to prohibit these kinds of contracts and is abdicating its responsibility
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 6mo agoAs US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in
Bets involving war are plainly illegal under the laws "regulating" prediction markets. It's right in the text of the law. These companies are completely unregulated and preying on teenagers who are betting against people with inside information.

I've worked with Tribes all over the country on all kinds of issues relating to land use and development, and protecting cultural sites. I've seen all kinds of collaborative partnerships and conflicts. I'll say this unequivocally: Enbridge is gross. One of the worst actors I've seen.

Year after year, NFL officials make absolutely bizarre calls that take points off the board for the Lions or put points on the board for opponents. It's been three games in a row now.
The Lions have disappointed me so many times over the years, I feel like I've seen every possible way they could lose. This is a classic Lions game: making a journeyman backup look like an All-Pro in a game sandwiched between two big games.
Welp. It's looking like this won't be the year for my Lions either.
NFL officials back on their usual stuff with the Lions today. A tale as old as time.
Stop me if you've seen this before: officials making questionable calls against the Lions.
I grew up watching Dan Rather with my family right after supper. We'd watch 60 Minutes together as a family after Sunday football. I've enjoyed Gail King & Co. in the mornings with coffee. I quit all that. These guys simply can't be trusted to tell the truth.

I'm not sure if Delta Airlines is on Bluesky. I've been a loyal and frequent traveler on Delta for over 15 years. This year - 2025 - has been the worst year. Customer service responses have gotten worse. I've had mechanical or staffing delays on nearly 40% of my trips this year. Brutal.
Here we go again with the Lions injuries. Two defensive starters down, and two more banged up today.
Remember this? I remember it. Down the field and gain, a Lions victory!
Welp. It was a great run for the Lions these last few years, guys. I guess it's on to basketball season now.
