Seeing it like this, you really get a sense of just how long that tail is — the name Long-tailed is no exaggeration! Though, yes… the belly is still perfectly round 🤣 🪶

I covered one of Jackson’s rallies in Omaha during one of his presidential runs (‘88, I think). I was impressed. RIP

My hometown in the news again, for a wonderful reason. But I am puzzled by the reference to Cleveland Heights having been a "rural farm town" at one point. I never heard that in all my born days. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

I wasn't expecting to find a purple finch at the Plainsboro Preserve yesterday but I did. The bird flew into a tree just off the visitor center deck. #Birds 🪶

RIP Sonny, an all-time great whom I got to see play in Cleveland during his heyday. Post story includes this great quote from him regarding his trade from the Eagles to the 'Skins: “When I left Philadelphia, all the bartenders wore black armbands.”

Fascinating walk through American musical tastes. My only disappointment — and it’s a losing battle — was that the BeeGees’ “Stayin’ Alive” was the 70s pick, not Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water.” But that’s just me.

That’s to replace the missing preposition the last seven posts I’ve seen in people saying someone “graduated college” or “graduated high school.” I’m in a frompy mood. #grammar.

We may be stuck with Trump as president for a while, but Bruce will always be THE BOSS.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
