I’m starting to get annoyed that no one has come up to me and asked me if I’m Graham Platner.

What does it mean if the subway tells you it’s your sixteenth birthday?

“Gerald Talbot has spent his life fighting so that people in Portland could find a place to live. The city put his name on a school to honor that legacy.

Portland homeowners are suing to block housing next to a school named for a man who spent his life fighting housing discrimination. I wrote about it for @pressherald.com.

I like it. I think they fail various purity tests with some for employing Goldberg and Frum, et al.

Every year at about this time, on a sunny day like this, I will hear in my mind @bdhinds.bsky.social as John Proctor saying “Massachusetts is a beauty in the spring”
