In this case the town does not have jurisdiction, so it went to court to claim that it should. Best part is that the zoning board voted 2-1 in favor of the solar panels but it had to be unanimous.

My personal opinion, based on lots of reporting I've seen, is that there was nothing wrong with Biden's mental acuity but that he was only good for about six hours a day. He could get through his presidency with good people around him. (And he did.)

A ‘NewsHour’ exchange highlights the endless debate over Biden’s and Trump’s mental acuity Like Hillary and Bernie in 2016, or Grady Little’s decision to send Pedro Martinez back out for the eighth, the media’s coverage of Joe Biden’s decline in 2024 is going to be liti…

Classic NIMBYs. “Petersham has stressed that it’s supportive of solar energy, just not at the particular location that’s been proposed.” #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/courts/shoul...

If Democrats can't talk about democracy as well as the economy, they feed the impression that fascism is OK as long as prices come down. To update Carville's old dictum: It's not just the economy, stupid.

It’s very easy to do on Xitter. I didn’t think you could on Facebook. How?

Goldberg: At magazines like The Atlantic, we don’t have objectivity. We have fairness. You can make an argument.

I make some use of it to surface stuff I wouldn’t otherwise see. Mainly I use a list that’s a subset of my Following feed.

Now that there's new evidence of Xitter throttling links, what about Bluesky's algorithmic Discover feed? What about Threads? www.niemanlab.org/2026/04/do-l...

A photo of Donald and Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Not that we haven't seen this photo a million times, but I'm glad that CNN is running it with a story about Melania Trump denying that she has any ties to Epstein and Maxwell. www.cnn.com/2026/04/09/p...

Tennessee high court blocks order allowing media witnesses to view more parts of executions The Tennessee Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court’s order that would have let media witnesses view more parts of state-run executions.

An outrage against the public's right to know.

"...the state attorney general’s office has said the media plaintiffs don’t have a right under the First Amendment to watch executions, let alone to see the additional segments ordered viewable by the trial court judge." #FirstAmendment

Hyperlocal news flourish in these small towns In the small towns of the Monadnock Region, news still spreads in old-fashioned ways: word of mouth, posters, a print newspaper.

Hard to compete with the Magnificent Muffin, especially since its location is better.

I bought coffee there a few times. Nice place, great people, but it always seemed like an uphill climb. Such a tiny space.
