Rather surprised that @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social chose to highlight Faneuil Hall - especially during #blackhistorymonth - considering it's namesake's ties to the slave trade, and that Boston City Hall has voted to rename the space because of it.

If you think the Democrat's video warning about unlawful orders was meant for the lower ranks of the enlisted, you're mistaken. It was meant for the most senior of officers, particularly those who attended the Hesgeth/Trump meeting a month or so back; and that message was received loud and clear.
Am I shocked that @whitehouse-47.bsky.social is tearing down part of The White House? No, as it's symbolic of how the President is dismantling our democracy. What truly shocks me is that he didn't create a shell company that would capitalize on selling pieces from that demolition for his benefit.
I will forever stand by my favorite NBA team, the Toronto Rangers, and will continue to cheer them on to their next Lord Lombardi O'Brien Anschultz World Series Crown.
Hoping someone here (or at @nbcnews.com) can explain why - on the Season 51 premier of SNL (10/4/2025 - Bad Bunny, host) - the "Information" kiosk clock shows 10:56 instead of the usual post-cold-open time of 11:30-something. Was this actually a delayed broadcast, and not truly "Live?" What gives?
So, let me get this straight... REPUBLICANS are going to shutdown the government?!
👀 Did you know that The World broadcasts from Nan and Bill Harris Studios at @wgbh.org in Boston, USA?! It’s been a while since we’ve done a roll-call, and so many more of you are new to our show. Where in ~the world~ are YOU from? We’re curious!! 🌎🌍🌏
Ironic that @jimmykimmel.com asks the question on WWTBAM about gum advertisements featuring twins as he was once removed not just from the Twins Days Festival, but from Twinsburg, Ohio itself after looking for the Doublemint Twins there many years ago.
@americanair.bsky.social Just a heartfelt note of thanks for the kindness & professionalism given me by AA employees on a recent trip home fraught w/ canceled flights (weather), re-routed baggage & a lost (but found) item. From lounge front desk staff to crew, they went above & beyond. Thank you!
@jtkantor.bsky.social Josh! In the ballyard today, sitting g next to some wonderful people who'd like to request anything by the Foo Fighters, if you can fit it in...
I'm old enough to remember President Nixon and his bout with phlebitis.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat!" On this 50th anniversary of "Jaws," I thought I'd sport this fictional Amity Island Sharks hockey jersey from Geeky Jerseys. I was in junior high at the time "Jaws" hit the screen & it happened to be the movie for my first blind date. (It went swimmingly well 😉)

I had a wonderful time catching the U.S. debut of "Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) at the A.R.T. in Cambridge (MA). The acting, singing, and choreography / interaction amongst the (surprisingly) versatile and moving stage was amazing. Funny and emotional, I highly recommend seeing it!
Tonight! The U.S. debut and preview of the musical, "Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)" takes place at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA. Happy to be in the audience for this one, thanks to @publicradionerd.bsky.social's suggestion!

Let's be real here for a moment, no one in the 99% buys 30 dolls in one year for their child. They may, perhaps buy three over the course of one year. So accoring to the out-of-touch President's percentages, no one will be buying (or can afford to buy) a doll this year.

When the U.S. President puts out a message like the one from this past Easter Sunday, remember this line from Inherit The Wind: “Fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding."
Just three more months of this fantastic economic plan from the Trump administration and we'll officially be in a recession. Oh boy! #winning
