@TheWeeOwl My favorite place is the Hilltowns of the Eastern Slopes of the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts. Inspiring to poets and writers, wish I could paint.

@GreenFire @npr Ed Snowdon. Sheesh. That guy. He fled the horrors of the US to the authoritarian paradise of China, then Russia where people are assassinated out of windows or in elevators or by suicide to the back of the head.

@bojacobs @histodons I wonder if anyone has mapped any subsequent rate of hypothyroidism in women and girls in areas abutting the sea disposal sites. Anecdotally, there is a higher rate of this thyroid disease in women exposed, it appears, in the Pacifica to radiation carried from underwater nuke testing post WW2.

@bojacobs @histodons Actually looking at longer term chronic hypothyroid disease rather than the more acute thyroid cancer. I grew up in the Pacific, alive for the Starfish Prime test visible from Hawai'i (it set off alarms with an EMP, and made daylight) swam in the waters, ate fish and crab, and found the occasional blown glass net floats used by Japanese fishing boats on the other side of the Pacific.

@bojacobs @histodons As an aside, my grandmother died at Hiroshima, my forebears are from Fukushima, and my older brother grew up to be Director of Radiological Controls at Pearl before retiring a few years ago. It was his team that caught the leak from the USS Houston that had escaped notice for two years at Guam and Yokosuka, Japan.

#Photography Good Morning! A light wet snow this morning. Expecting 2-4 inches, but a March 2-4 inches is more like a January 1-2 inches, as it compacts and begins melting in the mid-30 degree F temps. Didn't need a winter jacket to the Town transfer station (dump) this morning. It was hopping there, as I caught up on neighborhood news. The last two Saturdays were snowstorms, so lots of folks with trash today. #RuralBlue

@mjg59 This is brilliant and spot-on. I worked in HR, my experience supports this correlation. Men or persons who serially engage in one form of unscathed power-dynamic violation of company policy are likely to assume they can do it in other areas, similarly unscathed. Often this additionally includes taking credit/promotion for things they are incompetent in, putting the company success at risk. Also falsifying reimbursement requests and time documents. They are interconnected.

@alex One source says these have been floating since January, another part of the article notes info appears accurate to March. Is the Jan date inaccurate? Were more docs released through March? Since there is a verifiable alternation of data by pro-RU blogger (original UKR low death counts switched with high RU death counts), are all docs after Jan RU disinfo?

@progressivecat @Ard "Two older women outdoors in winter clothes hurriedly leaving a bombed area on foot. One is cradling a frightened cat in her arms." (My dad was blind, my apologies. I will endeavor to add text to posts I boost, if there is none.)

@barney @GreenFire @theintercept Intercept reporters' incompetence publicly revealed the identity of their own whistle blower to the government, she was then arrested, convicted, and imprisoned because of the idiocy, incompetence, and hubris of the Intercept. They can't protect their own sources. Teixeira isn't a whistle-blower, he's a pathetic racist antisemitic attention-seeker who was bragging with TS info to impress other teenagers.

@mastobit @barney @GreenFire Your NYT comment on Overseas journalists - was that in the 1976 link you provided earlier which would be almost 50 years ago, or from 2023? If from 2023, are you suggesting that the WSJ reporter arrested by Putin is a CIA spy? Did you mean to reveal this to an authoritarian illiberal reqime that murders journos? If from 1976 (odd since you then quote a 1978 fact), how is that relevant to US journalists in the US investigating a major criminal leak within the US???

@GreenFire @mastobit @barney @jimstewartson@toad.social I wonder how long Mike Flynn has been an asset. Any why does his Army command brother continue to have access, to aid and assist his two brothers' anti-government activity. Isn't he a flagged risk? How infiltrated is our senior military?

@grammargirl My old dad, born in the early 1900s, could not say "girls' under garments" when my mother would discuss shopping for us girls, he could only say "ladies pantaloons".

@lowqualityfacts I was once in a juried week-long poetry seminar with a famous poet. We were to produce one new poem each day. I wrote a poem that included the name of a moth. Another student objected, saying no such moth existed. I smiled and agreed that I made it up. The other poet insisted it disqualified the poem. The famous poet grinned and said "No. It's called imagination. It's what we do."
