Here's what I see in the app from my last donation.

Tim Staab @timstaab.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Sorry about your health issues. I lost my ability to donate this year because I had to start taking a blood thinner. My next donation would have been my 100th.

The RC donor app sends texts when your donation gets to a hospital, and it tells you which hospital. Within the app, there’s a tab called Your Blood Journey, which shows you the stage that your recent donation is in, and shows you where past donations ended up.

Did you have any children in your school wearing leg braces due polio? I did (I was born in 1954).

I clearly made a mistake about where you are, and you gave me a big fat clue by using the correct common name of the critter. Now where exactly is NE3, to continue my education?

Not a newt. Probably a dusky salamander. Not aquatic. It would prefer moist leaves in a terrarium rather than an aquarium setup.

My father, who lived his whole life in Baltimore, always pronounced else to rhyme with melts.

It’s a Burmese python, not an anaconda. I don’t know if they have invaded Brazil, but they are wreaking havoc in South Florida.

I usually don’t describe people this way, but these guys seem like pathetic sissies.

Fake quote. He’s still detestable, but he didn’t say this.

Tim Staab @timstaab.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I think this is exactly right.

He thinks gold is classy and sophisticated.

I believe that is a baby box turtle. I have seen exactly one in 60 years of hiking in forests. What a wonderful creature to see. Thanks for sharing!

Not a colostomy bag, in my opinion, based on location and shape.

True. WSJ news side still seems pretty honest.

WSJ is Murdock. Washington Post is Bezos.

When I tell people here in Ohio that my mother could go out the front door and buy fruit, veggies, and sometimes seafood from a horse-drawn cart I am often disbelieved. Anntana Avenue, late 50s early 60s.

I agree. He thinks he’s all macho and soldierly, and at least part of his audience knows he’s a fool.

If those crowd shots were real I am pretty sure that some in the audience knew exactly what they were hearing.

I am going to assume that this guy rarely (meaning never) reaches the “walk to my apartment” part of the date with a companion.

Vinson Cunningham in the New Yorker, on Alex Pretti’s murder: If this is what they do when we can see, what’s going on in the places—planes and cars, detention centers—where we can’t?

Do you know how insecure and empty you have to be to accept someone else's Nobel Peace Prize? Especially after the prizegivers make clear that the award is given on the merits and cannot be conveyed? It's twice as humiliating as accepting a manufactured peace prize by a sports league.

If you’ve earned even a very modest income, and pretty much lived within your means…chances are almost certain that you’ve gotten more enjoyment out of life…than Donald Trump…has…out of his.
