Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yeah, I don't even understand what they are talking about. 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yes, he is obsessed with wanting to harm places like California and Massachusetts. But in this case, he was suggesting that Iran bombing Los Angeles would be a bad thing. Both of these things can be true. 010
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If you accept that he wasn't calling for Iran to bomb cities in California, then you can't really claim it was a hostile statement toward California. Logic fails that connection. Trump is despicable for many reasons, no need to make up new ones. 120
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The fan shouldn't have done that, but it's clear from the footage that the ball was going to remain in play. The umps made the right call, changing it from a homerun to a double, so what is the basis for any complaint? The Yankees scored a run, there was no scenario in which that hit scores two. 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'd say she properly reads his thought that she was depraved. And he would be right to think that. 010

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I share your concern about the businesses in that building re-opening. Even if they do want to give it a try, it can take a few years for the various insurers involved to agree on a settlement. Most mom and pops do not have remotely enough business disruption coverage, and can't ride it out. 100

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oh, that sucks. I'm such a fan of Joe's Famous down the street that I've never stopped at Ugi's, but I have heard so many good things about the place. 101

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Good advice, though I recommend a 2nd u-lock, to go with the first one and the cable. Make your bike harder to steal than the others in the rack. 010

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Last time I was in Paris was summer '19. Even then, 6-7 months pre-pandemic, I could see where the city was heading. But it still wasn't a full network. Boston has some interesting infrastructure today, without making it always obvious or easy to use. We could be Paris 5 years from now. Will we? 010

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I didn't see your answer, beforehand. Seems a rather pedantic point, wouldn't you agree? When are you going to renounce your bogus claim? 100
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This intersection is dangerous by design. It made Louisa's death inevitable, it continues to leave people at risk. When will Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social understand that enough is enough. Safe streets can't wait! 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026You seem like the sort to block other viewpoints, but I'm happy to quote tweet you if you are willing to acknowledge the untruth in your post. 100
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I defend honesty, your post is clearly a lie. Kraft is easy to criticize without needing to lie. 010
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026People used social media to make outrageous claims designed to generate outrage. Far too many just uncritically accept what they see because it suits their preconceived notions. Kraft may be a scumbag, but this claim is a complete fabrication. 100
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026When there is no credible source for the claim, it's probably easiest to simply copy/paste, and hope to fan the artificially generated outrage. 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Where do you get this figure? My understanding has always been that Gillete relieved virtually no public subsidy. There was about $70 million in publicly funded infrastructure, which may or may not have been needed anyway, but that is a far cry from $34 billion. 100
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I had the opposite experience, being shocked at the extent to which counties are meaningless in Massachusetts, coming from California, where they are perhaps the most important layer of government. 0100

Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That's laughably wrong. It was once considered a fact that black people were 3/5 of a person. That was not the, and certainly not now, a fact. It was a convenience, a belief, a tool of oppression, eventually conquered with critical thinking. There are always some consensus ideas that are not true. 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This is definitely not the right approach. Many so-called facts are at least somewhat subjective. Teach critical thinking instead. 200
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The best schools teach critical thinking, not specific facts. Too many US schools now focus on the "facts" that show up as answers in standardized testing, which is where propaganda becomes a risk. 000
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026That varies by state and school system. But obviously, education anywhere is going to happen from a local cultural point of view. That's unavoidable regarding anything that is said to be factual. 210
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Decades of underfunding our school systems has brought us to this point. 110
Hank Layfield @hlayfield.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Exactly. I have either a long walk, or a reasonably short bus ride to the subway. Now that I can know just when the bus is going to be at my stop, it is fantastically easy to take that option. 000
