Happily retired newspaper editor, practicing husband and grandfather. Unofficial but extremely accurate snow day prognosticator.
After the White House posted a fake photo of Minn. protester Nekima Levy Armstrong, Kaelan Dorr, the deputy communications director, brushed it off as a meme.

He reposted the image and said, “The memes will continue.”

That’s a guy begging to be made infamous by memes.

Snow day on Monday, Foxboro, 70% chance of at least a delay on Tuesday. Meanwhile, bring it on!

OK, OK, all the models are aligning. Much as I hate to make the call so early, the chances of a snow day on Monday are now 98%. (I do need a little wiggle room.) You can safely skip your homework. The only thing that can stop this one is if I gas up the snowblower. #FoxboroMA #JohnsonIndexMA

People are getting very excited about Sunday. I’m not feeling it yet. The Accuweather model says many 2 inches. The Apple model sees 8-10. The recommendation here (for now) is to stay calm and focus on the game. Do your homework. #FoxboroMA #JohnsonIndexMA

Never a good sign when the adjective the Times uses to describe you in a lede is “embattled.”

God I hate AI or NextGen or whatever it is that produces this crap.

⋅ The Jets’ Breece Hall became the first non-quarterback in NFL history to rush for two touchdowns and throw for another in a fourth quarter … and the first non-QB to throw a winning touchdown pass inside two minutes since in 2003.

In France, the military patrols the streets to prevent terrorism, not to enforce laws or to pick up litter. Imagine that!

This is why we shop at Costco. This and the hotdogs.

Where are the Trumpers who freaked out because Zelenskyy didn’t wear a tie in the Oval Office?

“Scott, he has not been criminally charged.”

“So?”

Get Scott Goebbels Jennings the hell off the air, CNN!

Don’t care about people? How about monkeys?

The Trump administration has ordered a top scientist at Harvard to halt her research on tuberculosis.

… Researchers may have to kill macaques, a primate being used in a vaccine study at the U of Pittsburgh funded by the Harvard contract. (Boston Globe)

Nice to see one Maine senator still believes in democracy. The other one is busy kissing the ring in Mar-a-lago.
