- Jotted this note in my book of quotes last week: If we have indeed ruined the world, then we face a moment where we must raze the corrupt structures, so the next generation can build something better.
- #MilanCortina Is getting started. So is the frustration around whether I'll be able to watch anything. How much is streaming this year? Sigh. I love watching winter sports, but digital broadcasting trends makes it tough to find events. #Olympics

- OK, the lesson in Italian hand gestures is awesome. #Cortina #OlympicsOpeningCeremony
- Reposted by DebmBuddYes they should.
- So I backed out of my narrow garage today and my passenger-side mirror snagged the trash bin, and the mirror's plastic cover and rim cracked. Thirteen years I've been parking this car in that garage. WTF
- @sondheimlyric.bsky.social , A nice NYTimes article on songs chosen by fans working in Broadway and film. Gifted www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/t...
- Reposted by DebmBuddBy requiring every American to provide documents like a passport or birth certificate to register or re-register to vote, the SAVE Act would block millions from voting. bit.ly/4cikrkp
- Reposted by DebmBuddClose ICE, not the Kennedy Center.
- Amazing that there is pretty much zero comment that there IS a "weaponization group" at the DOJ. 😡 #NormalizingAuthoritarianism #Corruption www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

- I wasn't going to vote for the election denier already, but this endorsement makes her an even harder NO. Gifted. #PennsylvaniaGovernorsRace #Garrity share.inquirer.com/Rxph0v

- I picked up a new pair of eyeglasses today. Dang, these things are expensive. And I still need a pair of sunglasses. 😎
- Reposted by DebmBuddSay their names SAY ALL OF THEIR NAMES The names on this list are not just statistics; they were parents, nurses, neighbors, and human beings whose lives were cut short by an agency operating with escalating force and diminishing accountability. From the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex
- Reposted by DebmBuddLook, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over. In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.
- Thanks to @willbunch.bsky.social of the Philadelphia Inquirer for linking this amazing post from Matt Moberg. The CEO letter didn't name Good or Pretti, or 5-year-old Liam Ramos, or the many other horrors inflicted on Minneapolis by ICE. #CorporateCowardice #GeneralStrike #PeaceIsNotJustice

- Slightly over a foot of fresh powder, just southeast of Reading, PA. The sparrows and snowbirds were pleased I refilled the feeder. The light was very flat, as it is still sleeting a bit.
- Reposted by DebmBuddA reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
- Reposted by DebmBuddThe official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1
- Reposted by DebmBuddTruly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.
- @merriam-webster.com I just received your words of the week. In honor of "tickety-boo"... youtu.be/I9GryY5oSuI?...
- The People in Minnesota are setting the standard for the rest of us. Bless them and keep them safe.
- Reposted by DebmBuddI have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

- Terrifying.😱
- This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
