Andy, I haven't paid much attention to baseball since Harry died, but I'll consider it. Did you have a preferred venue/jurisdiction where you'd like to be served?

I'm a musician who plays an instrument made of wood. I'm aware that I've been supplanted by electronic music, and DJs, and that I occasionally get yelled at by cartoonists and would-be graphic designers who want to be paid to create images for my skeets while listening to electronica.

I'm GenX, and despondent about the younger generations' complacency toward single-use plastic. Social media accounts filled with progressive/liberal/left-leaning mantras side-by-side with pictures of carryout meals in Styrofoam clamshells.

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

You'll get no argument here. (Because it would be blocked, and thus deleted.)

A new personal record. 22 minutes of nothing but commercials. I am finally hearing @aliciamenendez.bsky.social (sitting in for @nicollewallace.bsky.social ) That included 3 spots from Sean Hannity (Towers, GoldCo, Towers) who's probably not a persuasive voice for #MSNow listeners. #iHeartRadio

After 22 minutes of commercials, this IHeartRadio app finally began playing the program chosen by its user, which is a Livestream of MSNow.

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Well, it wasn't an anomaly. I opened IHeartRadio at 3 pm, and it's played nothing but commercials for 13 minutes straight.

A smartphone screen shows that the IHeartRadio app is open to MSNow, and the time is 3:13

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

Personally, I think everyone should do public schools the way I did. 1. Start in the 1970s 2. Surround yourself with the offspring of university professors 3. None of this zero hour crap. Day begins at nine, ends at three, long lunch/recess in the middle.

I wouldn't call that "conservative." I'd call it populist, christofascist, white-nationalist, televangelical, etc.

I can't get past the overwhelming sense of situational irony I feel whenever a GenZ Bluesky user yells at someone about generative AI and then, I'm absolutely positive, returns to their electronica.

You think I'm against planning and zoning?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

But only anonymously. Nevertheless, that's an interesting interpretation of "the cheapest ugliest apartment buildings were constructed in the 80s. They're noisy to live in, because materials/architecture that cushion noise are more expensive."

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Just do away with zoning entirely?

Rob McColley 🇺🇦 @mccolley.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Again, I don't think name-calling and condescension is useful in this sphere. But it's social media, so perhaps it's cathartic. Anyway, I've testified to planning commissions in favor and against variances/developments. I'm glad they listened to me and treated me respectfully.

I'm so happy you reposted this. Thanks. I've been working rehabilitate my dad's old house, and keeping the plaster and lathe is a top priority. It's not just a great damper, it's also great for maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity level.

If everything looked like le sixième arrondissement, it would be an easy sell. I live in Urbana IL where the cheapest, ugliest apartment buildings were constructed in the '80s. The major problem is that they're noisy to live in, because materials/architecture that cushion noise are more expensive.

I suppose I'm in the wrong corner of the Internet, because I don't regard the term "NIMBYism" as likely to promote a meaningful dialogue. I have a back yard, for one thing. And I care about what happens around me.

Emily Marris bought raw milk from a farm recommended to her on Facebook. After her 17-month-old drank it, the toddler contracted E. coli and nearly died. Despite knowing this, the farmer continued advertising “raw goat milk from a clean tested herd.”

California is teeming with black-market dairies, propped up by consumer demand fueled by misinformation. With evidence against one raw goat milk farm, regulators could have sought punitive action. But...

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.
