I'm so tired of people blaming each other.

Look, if it wasn't Trump, it would've been someone else. Both Ds and Rs have been aggressively building towards a police state since 9/11. The Federalist Society has rigged our courts, and SCOTUS has done exactly what they intended. Government in the […]

Today marks a full week that #nurses across #nyc have been on strike.

I wish those #nysna unions had a presence here.

But their members — this folks are salt of the earth, in the trenches, kind of love of (who)man kind of people.

If you are a #nyc person, stop by ny presby or mt Sinai and […]
These nurses show up-even in the worst of times

My next door neighbor worked the psych ward at Allen (NYC Presby Inwood) her whole 30+yr career

Tough love of people&respect for dignity. That’s my neighbor. And nysna accept no less for any of their charges

Why would nyc folks accept less for them?

#nyc I was hoping to catch the #nybg New York botanical gardens 2026 orchid show today.

NYBG’s indoor huge glass atrium, the Haupt Conservatory, is usually a colorful respite from the cold and a good spot to go for a walk with friends. (Even if I remain […]

The annual MLK Jr. Day is a reminder that we've been in this shared fight for a long time now.

"Again, we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the […]

The GSFC -- goddard space flight center -- in Maryland has an amazing Science Visualization Studio.

I need university administrators (and probably some other people too, but definitely university administrators) to understand something: you cannot motivate your faculty to do more research or better teaching.

They are already maximally motivated people. They did not get the job by being […]

In 1997: some kid hadn’t started school& majored in geophysics at Rice& decided to do a senior project on the Orinoco

Could San Diego stop installing these door-zone bike lanes already. Today I was riding my e-bike just outside of the bike lane to stay out of the door zone. So a psycho driving a car rode my @ss and honked most of the block from Meade to ECB, even though I was going nearly the speed limit.
