For the fans of Stranger Things, go see on Broadway, Stranger Things: The First Shadow. My son Nick joins the cast tonight as Victor Creel. Very proud of him. #strangerthings

If inflation, war, and tanking economy is so much winning, I’m tired of winning and rather be losing.

Meet the Full Incoming Cast of Broadway's Stranger Things The full original Broadway cast, led by Tony nominee Louis McCartney, will play their final performance together March 29.

#strangerthings Nick, my son, is back on Broadway. So proud of him, and always like a reason to visit NYC. playbill.com/article/meet...

While Epstein files are horrifying, what we are not talking about are the vast number of unknown exploitation rings that technology & financial systems (banks, payment platforms, cryptocurrencies) that are knowingly and unknowingly helping to move profits & support human trafficking. #epsteinfiles

Just when you thought you updated everything on your desktop including your phone to USB C. You find your mouse is laughing in your face and harboring a lightning port.

Is there any legal way we can stop him from doing his tacky, gaudy and crude fake gold bedazzling of the beautiful and regal #kennedycenter ?

“The rules of Sheepshead, which not many outside Milwaukee find easy to follow, are somehow here inside the city limits inscribed into the local brain from birth.” Thomas Pynchon, Shadow Ticket (2025).

I am never one to worry about the view from my hotel window but this is interesting At #us2ts in Dayton, Ohio

I use it for my digital history course. Works very well for most but does require question and answer sessions. You learn a good deal about how antiquated our metaphors are for publishing.

#ironyisdead Let me get this right. Kennedy links circumcision to autism through Tylenol that is not given to the baby. Trump repeats it with no evidence. And people are talking about idea and not the stupidity of people who would spread the idea.

#ironyisdead let me get this right. Trump is having Comey put on trial for lying.

#october #raybradbury Why does it seem that every October my head fillls with dandelion wine, lingering twilights, carnivals. Always medicine for melancholy.

#wildcard Apparently, teams that win the first game of MLB Wild Card playoff series advance to the Division Series an astounding 90% of the time—18 out of 20 series since the current format began. Go Tigers 🐯

#irony. Let me get this right. An overweight guy in orange tanner & a former TV host in pancake makeup lectured hard bitten military leaders about “manliness” and fitness. Obviously Dean Wormer was wrong & we don’t need The Onion.

Did anyone stop to think that the #rapture happened yesterday and we were left behind with an orange leader who views climate change, vacines, scientific research, and medical research as a con job

Florida Moves to End Vaccine Mandates for Schoolchildren

I am not sure why the press can’t get headlines right. “Florida moves to approve the death of children”. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Brutal threats, reckless uncertainty & ceasing payments may work in the unsparing world of real estate, yet in the delicate machinery of small businesses, global supply chains, & university research, these tactics can decimate & destroy years of frugal, meticulous work never to be recaptured

ClaudeAI future of #digitalhumanities: The brutal truth is that many digital humanities projects and centers will not survive this funding crisis intact. Some valuable digital archives and resources may need to be archived. The field may see a significant contraction before any potential rebuilding.

All 6 of ours cancelled this week

Losing six funded grants in 1 week. This is when I wish my office were in a seedy film noir, and I could pull a bottle and two glasses out of my bottom drawer and toast my good luck. #thedhlife #digitalhumanities

Terminating grants is simply cruelty and pain. Grants from NEH are awarded by Congress and should not be terminated by a group not empowered by Congress.
Please act now to save NEH -- p2a.co/DdtlGIT
