Vermont is a beautiful state in the fall, but there is nothing worse than trying to get to your flight and being stuck behind someone in a fancy luxury car going 38-41mph for 13 miles(!) on a road with no place to pass!

Not only are they keeping us safe from harmful pathogens, but they are boosting the economy at the same time! Kudos wastewater treatment folks!

Wastewater treatment fact: If you flush a dollar bill down the toilet, we'll find it, bleach it and use it to buy Doritos from the vending machine

Is this a glimpse into the future of all big Universities that are enacting massive budget cuts across the board? I sadly think so

I said this last year about the Bills too. You can choose to be small or slow, but you can't be both in the NFL

Brad?@bradquestionmark.bsky.social

Somehow they're also too small there. Which is fun.

While Kincaid being absent puzzles me, I’m even more confused about the complete absence of Shakir. The guy has been a security blanket for YEARS, yet I feel like he’s never being targeted on these must have yards. #Bills

If a HS student made such an unfactual argument on a class project, they’d get an F. But in this administration they get applauded and placed in the highest positions of power

In 30 days, we have a choice, Minnesota: Do you want a Senator who will work for you to lower costs, end the illegal war in Iran, and hold ICE accountable? Or do you want another Senator for Trump?

You know your day is looking up when the cat throws up exactly in his food dish! Rather than the usual carpet, behind the couch, or down the heating register in the floor

I’ve always prided myself on being a good cook. But I’ve got to admit, there are no tougher critics than your kids, who declare after trying a meal cooked for hours (that has everything they like in it), “Well it’s not my favorite” or “It’s ok, I guess”

I suppose this is where I’m allowed to go full dad mode and say, “One day in you move out and have to fend for yourself, and you’ll realize how good you had it!”

UGH!!!! If this happened in a Democratic administration the GOPers would be screaming bloody murder 24/7….but now we get crickets 🙄

And speaking of grift (because, when it comes to Bobby, it's hard not to): "Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accepted $4 million in book advances and more than $270,000 in gifts over the past year from close allies who are working to advance his Make... 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...

I was a 20 year subscriber to the WashPost and never gave a thought about not renewing. I was exactly the customer a paper loves to have. And Bezos drove me away

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

NSF has reduced the research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and earth sciences by ~80%. 80%! A lot of us will not be conducting new research or training new students for the foreseeable future.

As a Yankees fan growing up in Brooklyn with many Mets fan friends, gotta go with Luis Sojos game winning hit in Game 5 of the World Series off Al Leiter that bounced about 16 times before it got through the infield

They are supposed to be doing the jobs they are getting paid by taxpayers to do, not using their positions and government resources to fly around the country doing partisan political campaign events.

Solar panels too can provide shade, plus understory grazing and natural habitat. It’s clear that renewable energy can be integrated into modern farming, plus provide a valuable income source. Glad some folks are opening their eyes to the opportunity.

Took a pic of a vending machine in Germany. It literally had packages of sausage, tubes of wurst, jars of liver and goulash, beer, mustard, Capri Sun, kinder bueno ice cream sandwiches, pig knuckles, and soda. It was also patched with masking tape.

Kind of fun to do. And for me I count ‘visiting’ as a state as one I’ve either stayed overnight or spent extensive time in. For example, a dozen day trips all across Vermont means it counts. Driving across the edge of Indiana to go from Illinois to Michigan, does not count.

This is a big deal for the American southwest. And the El Niño winter is not gonna do any favors with the upper Colorado likely having a reduced snowpack. Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California may have a large problem ahead that can’t be easily solved

nytimes.comLake Mead, the Nation’s Largest Reservoir, Is Smaller Than EverWater levels in the reservoir, which sits behind the Hoover Dam, are at record lows. A continued drop would imperil water supplies for millions of people and cut electricity from the dam.

But seriously, if Cashman wasn’t going to add offense, why not sell off this team at the deadline? If we can’t score more than 1-2 runs against mediocre pitchers, there is absolutely zero chance of us advancing in the postseason against actual good pitchers. What a waste!

Amazing picture of a rewilding event. Kazakhs should be proud that their government is prioritizing this
