Woman who as late as 2022 thought Musk was great has thoughts. Here are 2 big disqualifiers among journalists: 1. Thought after 2017 Trump might become a responsible & in any way “normal” president. 2. Didn’t see a decade ago that Elon Musk was a weirdo & possibly evil.

The golfball typewriter with built in correction was a revelation when I was typing my PhD dissertation proposal. I had a regular electric typewriter but was able to use the department’s golfball. Bliss!

Guess he means that Talarico takes seriously the instruction to love your neighbour as yourself and that in Christ there is no male or female etc. Basically taking Jesus’ words seriously as opposed to lip service. 🤷🏻‍♀️

"New Yorkers will flee ..." "Massachusetts citizens will flee ..." "Californians will flee ..." Sure, sure. Any day now, sure.

Yes. Also in the mix is whether you have to change subway lines. 5 stops on the same line (especially an express line like the E or F) is much easier than 2-3 if you have to change lines. NYers carry a mental map of the lines/good and bad changes.

The simplest way to stabilise SS or the UK’s state pension is to remove the cap or increase it to the highest level of marginal tax. The richest pay more, most people pay the same. Win win.

There’s a special one for New Yorkers—measuring distance by city blocks/avenues. ‘Where is it?’ ‘20 blocks south.’ NYer nods. ‘A mile then.’

My mother who would have been 45 in 1966, had a leopard print fur hat like that one. As a professional woman she has suits similar to those. Evocative.

He should declare the seat vacant, appoint someone and call their bluff. If McConnell is alive, the governor should meet with him to ascertain if he’s able to carry out his duties. Enough!

Dualit toasters still made in England, replaceable elements if you get the original mechanical ones (they also make electronic ones). Le Creuset cast iron/enamelled one last forever if taken care of. I have one that over 40 years old and is in perfect condition.

Yup. Here in UK before retirement I had 30 days paid holiday + 12 paid statutory days. My out of office email just said I was off until xxx, email would not be forwarded, gave an alternative. 3 weeks summer, week at Easter, 2 weeks at Christmas.

My husband always made sure I knew how to change a tire in any car I owned. Tbh, any time I’ve had a flat, a man has come along and changed it for me. I guess being 4’11” helps.

I once wrote a 10 page paper for a college government course on a trial in DC. Made the whole thing up using past trials, logic & lots of imagination. Got a A. Didn’t need AI.

I worked for my government so knew where the red lines were. Came close but never stepped over. That effort really took it out of me & I was past retirement age so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I was nearly a contemporary of Doonesbury and read, and had, many of the complications. As a result, I understood the references because I lived them. Sharp, funny and all too real.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Venture capitalist politics. Cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez

I’m rooting for Norway and then probably France in the final 🤞🏻. Husband’s family were from Normandy(very common French & Irish surname), via England and then Ireland.

Debra Savage @strandedinni.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Hate to tell you, but here in the EU/UK/Scandinavia have 25-30 days paid holiday is pretty much the norm. So yeah, taking time to go to the World Cup isn’t that crazy. And Norway is a rich country.

Cape Verdeans are now honorary Philadelphians because that was basically ROCKY. They weren't "supposed" to be there, much less going the distance with the champions and the GOAT, who had to give it everything they've got just to eek out a win in overtime. Bravo.

We watched the match with our hearts in our mouths! I so wanted Cape Verde to get to penalties! I really wanted them to win. But really, their performance and heart made them winners regardless. The match of the tournament.

Grandmother born in England in 1885, emigrated to US in 1908, married US citizen in 1917. At that time that made her an American citizen by marriage. She had a US passport because she travelled abroad.

Oh, this is mahogany through and through with paint on the surface. Very late Victorian or Edwardian. It’s not heavy but quite delicate and restrained.

@danahoule.bsky.social the calculus here in the UK is likely to be determined by the number of days at high temps. Weeks at >30C, shift to aircon, particularly in hospitals/retro fit in schools. Under that, portable aircon for schools/homes.

I have my grandmother’s furniture—bedroom, sideboard, mirrors & occasional tables that she bought 2nd hand in 1920. Also have mother’s mahogany bureau desk & bookcase from 1930. Have mother’s silver, crystal & grandmother’s china. Most in daily use.

Not saying that racism isn’t part of the equation. But this behaviour is long established in the loyalist community and the fear/hate of the other doesn’t depend only on racism. Hate of the other encompasses race.

000

Debra Savage @strandedinni.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Uhmm…maybe but since almost all of the thugs came from the loyalist community, and they don’t like white immigrants either, the riots were more like the ones that burned Catholics out of their homes on Bombay Str in 1969. So no.

What Sara says is true but is not all of the truth. Yes, Protestant working class communities lost a lot—industries etc. But some of what they lost was built on discrimination which they never admit. And the same impulse that burned Bombay Str is now burning immigrants out.

Debra Savage @strandedinni.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

The thugs burning non white people out of their homes in NI are the same ones (in effect) who used to burn Catholics out of their homes during the Troubles.

Debra Savage @strandedinni.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

This. This is what’s missing from every piece about the violence. The area around the actual attack was quiet.

Debra Savage @strandedinni.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

What people from outside NI do not fully appreciate is who exactly is doing the rioting. This was not happening in the immediate vicinity of where the attack took place. They took place in areas associated with loyalists, egged on by far right thugs.

#ResistanceRoots Marion Post Wolcott was born on this day in 1910 in Montclair, N.J. She was a documentary photographer who traversed thousands of miles alone across the U.S. to capture the contrast between America’s wealthy elite and its most vulnerable citizens during the Great Depression. /1

Marion Post Wolcott photographing rural poverty in Kentucky, 1940. Before she ever picked up a camera for the FSA, she was a deeply committed political radical. Her involvement in the anti-fascist movement was the catalyst that transformed her from a schoolteacher into a documentary photographer. She viewed her camera not as a tool for fine art, but as a political weapon against tyranny and oppression.
