While I’m already a PBS member, I also just became a direct monthly supporter of @njspotlightnews.org

Very disappointing, especially at this time. We have so few journalism outlets in NJ. @njspotlightnews.bsky.social has become my first listen each morning, listening to the podcast from the night before. I’m also member.

5 years ago I published this reflection on aspects of Fred Rogers that are often overlooked. He was far more than a sweet old man on TV. He had a vision, bravely built his product, and retained the control needed to maintain it's authenticity. edmullen.com/all/thinking... Thanks again, Fred.

I recently finished @margaretrenkl.bsky.social 's The Comfort of Crows. It's a beautiful book, as many people say. But it's also elegiac. Renkl deeply understands the natural world around her, which means she can see the species decline, the shifting of seasons, migration changes. Not from a...

It seems like a critical mass is forming here. That's exciting. I loved the old days of twitter. It changed the trajectory of my career. It's decline, along with a job change amidst the pandemic, left me with a real loss of connection to a community I really valued. So I'm optimistic but cautious.

I've spent a lot of time this morning reading @aworkinglibrary's posts on everythingchanges.us/blog/. Every post is filled with clearly refined wisdom and such perfect metaphors they read as literature. "Energy makes time" resonated especially, everythingchanges.us/blog/energy-...

Hell yeah, Tim Walz! I'm am 48 year old white guy. Gov. Walz is so important because he offers a model of white masculinity that is compassionate, supportive, and inclusive. For so long, white men have had to contend with a weird inertia that expects a distorted, limited model of what manhood means.

The White House should stop ignoring Musk’s behavior & insulate agencies against risk, starting with shifting unique agency activity off of X. No American should have to use a private platform to read official statements or interact with our elected representatives or appointed officials.

If X and Musk are not politically neutral, democracies need to act to mitigate the growing risks.

Two summers ago, I watched an orb weaver build webs on the same goldenrod over the course of the summer. I watched the increasing sophistication of each web, from the early clumsy ones to highly engineered structures. It was remarkable to see this individual learn. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/05/o...
