Oh, dear. Who was that? (No, I don’t know much of anything about anything.)

I don’t know how to even see replies, much less correct them. It was 1989.

Aaggh. Yes, 1991.

Terrible photos of torn tissue paper art, by a living treasure, a gift from our host. (We gave him hand carved painted wooden Minnesota loons.)

Ves was invited to Japan to talk to a professional group (educators?) about education in the US. US children tested higher on science and math than Japanese children. Ves said the Japanese schools relied on discipline and memorizing, while American schools encouraged creativity and exploration.

According to the administration, POTUS has determined that the U.S. is engaged in 24 secret, unauthorized, almost certainly fictional armed conflicts with “designated terrorist organizations.”

More conflicts than POTUS claims to have ended.

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

A thread about Bsky, angelic historians, and black history. Edward T. Rhone faced racial discrimination in 1897 in Duluth. He sued under the MN civil rights act. He was born into slavery in Arkansas. I found Rhones there but I couldn't link him to them. Enter historian @lisachildsar.bsky.social

The irony is that Trumpworld is obsessed with energy.

Tim Snyder:
"If you want to rip the heart out of a democracy, you go after facts. That's what modern authoritarians do."
Step 1: You lie. All the time.
Step 2: You say it's your opponents and journalists who lie.
Step 3: Everyone looks around and says "what is the truth? There is no truth."
Then resistance is impossible and the game is over.

Okay. I know that Häagen-Dazs ice cream was always a bit pricey, but this is crazy. This is a "Manager's Special"- $1 off a 14oz container.

How come republicans and MAGA aren't talking about the price of groceries now?

Trump: "I'll lower grocery prices on Day One."

He lied.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

The Mount Holyoke Commitment U.S. families with total income up to $150,000 pay no tuition at Mount Holyoke College.

Mount Holyoke is offering free tuition to all families making up to $150,000. I cannot say enough about how good attending a women’s/gender diverse school was for our elder kid, and this is a remarkable commitment.

States with gerrymanders are pulling a fast one. They’re “re-gerrymandering” and calling it “mid-cycle redistricting.” Nonsense. We call it what it is—an unprecedented escalation of the war on democracy & free & fair elections. We call it what it is—Absurd then. Absurd now. @lwvus.bsky.social

This class of people actually exists nowadays. They steal people and they are called “ICE”.

When my parents had visitors, they used to shoo me away by telling me they were talking grown up talk. I think I was seven when I realized I could understand what they were saying and it wasn’t a different language at all.
