If you liked New York City's Saturday weather, you will probably like tomorrow weather. Personally, I did not. weather.com/us/new-york/...
“Every man (and woman) has two countries – his own and France,"-Thomas Jefferson A Happy Bastille Day to all my French Bluesky followers!
Congratulations to MS NOW formerly MSNBC on their 30th anniversary this week!
Not sure if I will finish the book but I have started to read the book. At the suggestion of Lawrence O’Donnell, I borrowed “Regime Change” by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan from my local library.
They grow up so quick. No, not me. A very happy 14th birthday (and hopefully more to come) to our dog Pepper!
If I said it's 100F and you said it feels like 107F, we would both be correct. weather.com/weather/toda...
It was always easy to remember Duffy the Dog's birthday because it was the same day as our wedding anniversary. But I better not forget Pepper's 14th birthday next Monday!
I have been sympathetically reading all the newspaper and magazine articles about the hot weather in Europe. Starting Wednesday I want Europeans to return the favor and sympathetically read all the newspaper and magazine articles about the hot weather in New York City! weather.com/us/new-york/...
Looks like Europe is sending their weather to New York City for the 4th of July. weather.com/us/new-york/...
I told the Election Worker I was ready to vote in the 2026 midterms but they said it was too early. So I settled and voted in the New York Primary.
Today is a special and happy anniversary. It was exactly 39 years ago today on June 12, 1987 that I arrived in the Netherlands aka Holland for my first of 30 (so far) visits. This is a picture taken the following day in Amsterdam.
It is so hot and humid. I don’t like to put the air conditioner on during the day but I did it for our dog Pepper and her squeaky squirrel.
Has he yelled at the Dow Jones for going down 953 points today? Called the stock market stupid or crooked? Expect rumors of an Iran War settlement from The New York Times and Axios before tomorrow morning’s stock exchange opening.
Does not look like ideal weather for an outdoor UFC Cage Fight for Sunday in Washington DC.
Like this one. Here I am playing the “new album” by The Beach Boys, Surf’s Up in 1971.
Happy 48th anniversary to all who celebrate the June 9, 1978 release of the album Some Girls by The Rolling Stones. I know the includes me!
My MTA Train Time app still has trains running on a regular schedule.
Over the last 69 weeks, watched one episode a week of Are You Being Served. Next will watch Mr. Humphries, Mrs. Slocum, Captain Peacock, Miss Brahms and Mr. Rumbold in their follow-up series.
Chris Hayes will have the much talked about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on All In With Chris Hayes tonight on MS NOW at 8PM Eastern.
Rachel Maddow said she will host the MS NOW panel tonight at 10PM Eastern to discuss the California primary and other states primaries. Lawrence O’Donnell said this will be the most suspenful California election in his lifetime!

Tell me The New York Times is out to get New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani without telling me The New York Times is out to get New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani 👇🏼
I am STILL suffering from Eurovision Song Contest withdrawal! “Eurovision withdrawal symptoms—the emptiness, confusion, and dramatic longing that hit you post-contest—are completely normal. They happen because your brain gets used to a heavy dose of dopamine, neon lights, and upbeat pop anthems”
If it’s 8PM Eastern, you’ll find Pepper watching All In With Chris Hayes on MS NOW.
According to my TV Schedule, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will be on from 11:35PM-12:54AM Eastern.
About a year ago, Bluesky was growing at about 2 users per second. I never see anything close to that anymore. What happened? Are we all here now?
If it’s 8PM you can find Pepper in front of the television watching All In With Chris Hayes.
I really hope the Meta CEO reconsiders and brings back Facebook Memories. Because, a year from now, I would LOVE to see a photo of Pepper watching a smiling @chrislhayes.bsky.social, interviewing Senator Elizabeth Warren discussing the 2025 Blue Wave Election!
This is what I got when I logged into Facebook Memories on my desktop. I have been on Facebook almost everyday since October 4, 2007 so I must have some memories.
