so post primary what it appears to me is el-sayed is a good candidate who uses every media avail to talk himself up while talking shit about his opponent, precisely the kind of thing the leftist and centrist wings of the party should want.

Whatever your take on Platner, I see his incomplete run as a case of winning ground. He SO clearly articulated what is wrong with our politics that he rewrote the script. The shift from "red vs. blue" to "billionaires vs. the rest of us" is happening. Eyes on the platform going forward! #MEpolitics

WHY ONE 21-MINUTE PODCAST took 3 1/2 years to produce: we're old, we like to argue, maybe we shouldn't have eaten those shrooms...

More about Episode 1: The Baykeeper & Me
Depending on how you count, this 21-minute episode took 3 1/2 years from start to finish. That's because we spent the first year and half finding a boat 3,500 miles from home and figuring out where to put it. Then we had to figure out how to execute our idea. Then, we collected enough material for at least 21 episodes and I realized I needed to learn a few things. After that we argued over content, style, story order, etc., and then I found I had to learn even more stuff, and then I went on stri

Cruise lines rarely change their behavior, if it will cost them $. Portland needs the conviction to demand the ships use cleaner fuel ~ to protect the health of residents & to protect Casco Bay, the critical region of commercial fishing in Maine. #MEpolitics #Portland #banscrubbers #cruiseships

"The worm doesn't make me eat dead rats. I was doing that before the worm," he purred at me like one of the diseased cats that would follow him around whenever he had a dead rat in his pocket that he was saving for later. He really liked eating them. He coughed and it sounded like a lawnmower hitting a sprinkler head. His leathery skin crackled in the evening sun. He had to leave tonight - he was speaking at a conference for people who think medicine turns you gay. Sometimes when he was away I would rub an old catcher's mitt up and down my legs and pretend he was giving me a massage.
