STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

While it's great when I can break a story first in our region, these stories are tough. I'm hoping to learn how many employees are being affected soon. Either way, it's bad news

My FB got suspended this morning for "violating community standards." Nothing I post should be considered a violation given that it's mostly about my pets/house. That said, I shared a column by Chris Armitage about "silent secession" a couple days ago & that's the only thing I can think triggered it

An IT worker for the nat'l parks drove to a bridge & called a friend to talk him down. A Medicaid researcher killed herself after repeating "I’m not enough" to her family. A Social Security worker, whose data was under siege by DOGE, died at her cubicle. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

White House officials wanted to put federal workers ‘in trauma.’ It’s working.

Federal workers describe struggling with panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts. “Why doesn’t anyone care?”

First lawn mowing of the season complete. Only did 3/4 of the yard because the other 1/4 is going to have a dry well installed, get regraded, and then seeded with native clover.

Got to do one of my favorite annual interviews this morning with the executive director for the National Comedy Center. I've always enjoyed comedy but the opening of the Center combined with their annual Comedy Fest has really helped grow my interest. We're so very lucky here in Jamestown!

I can see in my mail preview that I'm getting a jury summons for U.S. District Court. I'll ultimately be able to get out of it because of my job but hoping to avoid having to drive up to Buffalo all together.

A friend added me to a Spotify listening group where we submit songs based on a theme, listen to all the songs, and then vote on what we like. Lucky for me, the playlist dropped this morning so that's good to have in my ears as I write stories about who is running for local offices

Covered our local protest this morning. They had nearly 300 people, which is more than the last big protest they had in 2020 (we're a rural, red city). Crowd also older, whiter than the last time which seems to be the case for protests across the US today.

Ranked voting is something I think should be done wherever there's a primary. I'm sharing this not to tell you who to vote for in NYC but as an example of how the way you vote in ranked voting can lead to various outcomes.

They rearranged all the aisles, minus refrigerated and frozen, at our Aldi. Every shopper had that look of being in hell. I actually think this is what hell will be. On the upside, the AOS is one long aisle now

It's weeks like this where I've had evening mtgs to cover every night with last night's going over 3 hours that really give me the "this job is killing me" feeling. I mean, in some ways it is. I've gained 30lbs in the last 4 years, with 18 of those in the last 1.5 year. At least I like what I do

It's a really dystopian feeling that I have to put "measles" as a news topic for this week. Maybe it's a getting older thing, but 20 years ago doesn't seem that long ago and, yet, in that timeframe, the idea that vaccinations are an awesome, life saving thing has gone upside down

"All Fours" may end up on my DNF (did not finish) list. It's just not grabbing me. I'm perimenopausal but just not identifying with the main character. At least it was a library loan, so I didn't spend any $ on it.

I feel super bougie just casually eating hard boiled eggs I made over the weekend because our weekly egg CSA should start up Saturday where we get a dozen each week now until May (prepaid - $4.50/doz)

In the U.S., that's more than 11 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Federal Minimum wage of $7.25/hour. That's cruel and impossible to do for any length of time.

Picked up some much needed coffee on the way to work. This is why I hate the Daylight Saving Time switch. I didn't sleep well. When my alarm went off, my body felt like it was being made to get up at 3:30am, and it's a long day for me with night mtgs to cover so no early to bed

Based on everything I'm reading and how inept this administration is, I'm placing bets on how soon we'll start seeing stories about how going vegan is a wallet friendly way to deal w/ rising chicken/beef costs due to Avian Flu. I say beginning of May w/ how the flu can be spread by migrating birds

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

I wasn't expecting a glaze of ice on the clear street this morning since it's been warmer overnight the last couple days. Good thing there weren't any cars in front of me as I slid toward the intersection near our house.

One of my absolute favorite bands, @fountainsofwayne.bsky.social, is reforming with @eve6.bsky.social's bassist, to do a show this summer. Dammit, I miss Adam Schlesinger, but the songs he and @lookpark.bsky.social created are too amazing for new generations not to discover.

My coworker is singing and playing guitar in office next to my studio to warm up ahead of a "Memory Cafe" performance in our building and it's so delightful. I've heard him perform before, but there's something special about hearing someone do a warmup by themselves

I'm wondering at what point I'll just bring in a whole box of Girl Scout cookies to work versus trying to limit myself to a few cookies per day. I've already consumed most of my first order, and am making quick work of a second order (min 4 boxes required for buying online). I have a problem

I'm still wondering why when the so-called DOGE folks bypassed security, why someone didn't call the police on them? If they're trying to get into secure systems, the police/FBI/etc. should be called to arrest them

Part of Project 2025 is what they call a “180-Day Playbook” to takeover and radically transform (meaning largely dismantle) the entire federal government. So you can expect acceleration of the types of actions we’re seeing rather than their being horrific one-offs. www.project2025.org/playbook/

Signed up for an Egg CSA with a local farm that starts in March. Taking a "gamble" that $4.50/dozen will be a steal for the 8 weeks we're participating given everything with Avian Bird flu. If not, we're still helping support a local farm
