He’d prefer stretching light into the evenings If you wanted to feel like Santa Claus over the last week, all you had to do was tell a friend that we were springing forward on March 14. This raises the question: If more evening sun is so great, why do we turn back the clocks at all? The Sunshine Protection Act, cosponsored by Senator Ed Markey, would end this counterproductive tradition. Advertisement Some worry that eliminating the clock change would leave us with darker winter mornings. They’re right. Winter sunshine is like a fleece blanket that’s too small — we have to decide whether we want our shoulders or feet covered. As the father of two young children, I’d rather deal with a little more darkness on the morning commute to stretch the light into evening family time so that we can make play while the sun shines.

Grateful for the end of The Long Dark this weekend. Here's my letter in the Boston Globe a few years ago on why we should eliminate it entirely. Thanks @edmarkey.bsky.social for trying to make it happen!

baseball is a magical sport

Was hoping Hoppers would end with the highway explicitly turned into a boulevard with bike lanes, but they just said it was “rerouted”

It IS a an Oligarch Hollywood movie, so I had already tempered my expectations

Wait till she hears soap operas are NOT documentaries!

There are many things I love about pro wrestling, but one of them is that it’s a detector for the most humorless people alive

Kids asked to see Hoppers & I said sure without knowing anything about it & it is … an anti-highway movie 😄

It’s pretty cromulent but funny hearing evil mayor promote highways. The Beaverton Beltway: Getting You There Up To 4 Minutes Faster!

Anyway, Hoppers, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Sure seems like working in corporate media these days, you’re only allowed to tell as much truth as your far-right billionaire oligarch owners permit, and more & more journalists are starting to realize that

The climate crisis is worse than ever

Climate coverage gets good ratings

So how do our Objective Journalists justify covering it less?

It is #objective #journalism to never ask Republicans “What are you on right now?”

Abolish DHS, abolish ICE

Local TV news now posting total nonsense on FB trying to force you to click through to find out what the hell they’re talking about

Reminds me of the SNL local TV news parody where Jerry Seinfeld is the anchor. “The president has been shot! But the president .. of what? Find out at 11!”

What a great little trade. PFF had Bradbury ranked 30th among Cs, and he’ll be 31 this summer, and the Pats get a 5th for him 🙌

Generally when comparing the cost of driving vs. transit, folks should just use the federal mileage reimbursal rate, 72.5 cents per mile driven for 2026

Gas is only 18% of the cost of vehicle ownership, per AAA

Calling on ICE to investigate itself?

Emmanuel Damas, a Boston resident and asylum seeker from Haiti who entered the United States legally, was killed by ICE. He leaves behind two sons.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

Starting to think our media, which is entirely owned & operated by Republican oligarchs, didn’t give us a fully accurate picture of the comparative competence of the two candidates & their parties in the previous election! 😤

We know very little about the true natural behaviors of the species we spent most of the last 200 years trying to eradicate

They want their actual liberal subscribers to STFU & go away, and their real target audiences is conservatives who will never, ever subscribe

It's why they're dying!

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar touts reelection support by top House Democrats The moderate Democrat from Laredo announced endorsements from top Democrats in the U.S. House, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Our current Democratic Party leaders care about nothing but their own power

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week
