Yesterday evening I saw the new Acela train leaving South Station in Boston. @amtrak.com Lets get these running all over the US.
Tom Lehrer embodied 60s satirical comedy which was both cutting and funny. The first song of his I heard was the Vatican Rag and I was hooked. It was mimed by John Howitt at the 680 Club in Kilara in Sydney. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

@ubersupport.bsky.social I am having trouble updating my phone number on the Uber app. How do I do this?

Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani were obstensibly running against each other to be New York City’s next mayor. But their cross-endorsement and alliance showcased what parliamentary-style coalition politics could look like in the age of so much vitriol and polarization.

Why does Barcelona have streets that are well pave and without potholes and Boston cannot? And don’t give me any crap about the weather. @mayorwu.boston.gov and forward to Stephen Lynch.
@mayorwu.boston.gov the roads in Boston are terrible for biking. East Berkeley, the Fenway Park end of Boylston St are potholed and incredibly bumpy. Why are roads not a priority especially for getting people out of cars and onto bikes?
Where are @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on the Israel Iran conflict? What is the Democratic Party policy?

I am an immigrant from Australia I used to love this country as a place of equality of opportunity. With Trump and his authoritarian sycophants in power that sentiment is fading.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

@mayorwu.boston.gov what is up with the state of Boston’s streets and roads. East Berkeley St is a goat track and dangerous for bikes. If you want more people out of cars please fix the roads for safe cycling.

Trump’s Big Budget Bomb www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o... @fwdparty.bsky.social We should be listening to this important analysis of the Trump's Republican budget and come up with ways to oppose this fiscal and social disaster.
Trump’s Big Budget Bomb www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o... @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov please listen to this podcast and how about doing some press conferences, podcasts of your own, social media posts highlighting this budget disaster.

It is amazing that Democratic politicians could not see the decline of Joe Biden when anyone who watched him on TV clearly could. Maybe circling the wagons was not a good idea. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @kamalaharris.com
@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsome has to answer when he knew about Biden’s decline and why he didn’t say anything if he wants to be a credible candidate for President.
@karaswisher.bsky.social I don't get the constant criticism of Teslas. I leased a Model 3 (before Musk and DOGE) and despite the bad vibes find it amazing. I tested all the other offerings and had a Polestar 2 3 years prior. It has all the features, is comfortable, energy efficient at a great price.
The Democratic Party seems to be just relying on disaffection with Trumpp to win back the house and senate. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are missing with any leadership and policies to maximize turnout and the swing to the democrats.
A good analysis and perhaps why ranked choice voting should be adopted in the US. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/w...

Agree entirely, it’s all about money and what access it can buy.
Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.
