Sharon’s was your destination if you were craving a hearty duck dinner. Or duck salad. Or duck soup. Or duck pie. Or duck pate. This joint is ducky! I’ve only had duck a few times and am not a fan, so I’ll have a Waldorf salad, pie and iced tea 🍽️ Sharon’s Duck Inn Wrentham MA 1940s #VintageMenus

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

#MusicHistory On this day in 1979, Pennie Smith captured rock’s most iconic photo: Paul Simonon smashing his Fender Precision Bass at NYC’s Palladium after security forced fans to sit down. Smith thought the blur ruined the shot. The Clash saw raw punk energy—and made it the face of London Calling.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

How dare the National Museum of the American Indian refer to George Washington with a name that he was given by the Iroquois in 1753, a name which he himself used in his correspondence! So glad to see Fox News taking a stand against the politicization of history. s/

Smithsonian museum labels George Washington a
"town destroyer" while omitting why he ordered the attacks.
The National Museum of the American Indian's exhibit describes the destruction of 40 Iroquois towns but leaves out that the campaign was a direct response to devastating raids that crippled the Continental Army, destroyed frontier settlements and took prisoners.
The Trump administration has threatened funding cuts over what it calls the Smithsonian's push to reframe America's founding as "a deeply flawed creation of the country."

A PLEA
During the sur

ordered his generals Clinton and Sullivan to attack and bum Haudenor
ince (Iroquois) towns. The Cayuga
can mothers learned of the army's approach. They asked Oncida leaders allied with Americans to plead with the army to spare their towns. Four Oncida leaders met with General Sullivan, but he would not listen.

Todays song is Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues by Skip James. First recorded in 1931, here performed in 1967. James voice alone can break your heart. From the generation of classic Delta Blues players (b.1902), his ethereal voice gave his work a unique, uncannily modern sound. youtu.be/DoBxzb-8oPc?...

Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Navy families evacuated from Bahrain face ‘uncharted territory’ amid bureaucratic confusion

The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs.

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.

Every time I’m on the road, stuff happens: Last week, tornado-like weather, & a urinary tract infection for the dog. A temporary loss of power & some slight “water damage” to a rug (non-rain related 😉) This week… a vulture.

A NJ turkey vulture sits, unencumbered, on a vintage watering can within 5 feet of a suburban backdoor to the surprise of a CA native about to walk her precious and favorite family member, Scout (a miniature doodle doggo)

The image here borrows its title from Grant's 1868 presidential campaign slogan, "Let us have peace." Here's what Frederick Douglass had to say about that sentiment.

In the language of our greatest soldier, twice honored with the Presidency of the nation, “Let us have peace.” Yes, let us have peace, but let us have liberty, law, and justice first. Let us have the Constitution, with its thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments, fairly interpreted, faithfully executed, and cheerfully obeyed in the fullness of their spirit and the completeness of their letter.

To be honest, the one thing that more American sports fans need to take from soccer/futbol/wrestling is the chanting. It's much harder to disguise an entire stadium of people chanting something very, very distinctive vs noise and jeers and boos.

Came across my parents’ mid-century Cera (shout-out to my local Bergen County town of Hackensack, NJ!) highball glasses. #Cheers

On a zinc-topped bar, a 50-60s highball glass on the right is filled with ice, 2oz Toki whisky, and topped with seltzer. The 2nd glass on the left, currently empty, was eventually filled with a Southside for the bride.
