EPIC! Stratton

I need to figure out how to move my whole family to the Netherlands.

Shocked and disappointed regarding the position that Worcester Diocese has taken on this.

I love the loot drop reference :D

Maple is the superior fall flavor. I said what I said and I will happily fight about it. #mapleisbetterthanpumpkin

Great turn out for this!

What the actual F?! This is absolutly ghastly and not something that should be allowed. . www.npr.org/2026/08/07/n...

For those curious, it appears 10 is the age at which child the elder has decided they want to FA and they are about to FO. If I hear about cake prior to actual sustanance another time, the cake goes directly in the trash. SMH.

Interesting choice of Worcester. Wonder if any of the local cranks will be out to see this - given they never see bikes on the roads here, let alone in the bike lanes. In all seriousness though, glad to see this coming to Worcester. More bikes = more better. patch.com/massachusett...

Oh my god!!!! Cars in the middle of the road?! How will traffic and parking possibly functions?! Providence has gone completely mad! /sarcasm. But seriously, the pedestrian and bike infrastructure in Providence absolutely blows Worcester out of the water.

.....again.....

This is my home town. I would have said this is unimmaginably stupid, but again, I grew up in Tallahassee so I am not surprised by the sheer idiocy of these commissioners. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

Very stoked for this even to be coming right up! Always a fun day in Worcester! Be sure to register if you haven't already (or at least to come cheer on us lunitics turning ourselves inside out getting up George Street!).

Great turn out for the ribbon cutting!

Ribbon cutting for the new Brooks Dairy Farm conservation area, supported by GWLT, LAND Grant, and Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds! So grateful to have more green space protected in our city.

@andrewjmarsh.bsky.social did a magnificent job speaking. As usual.

Packed meeting tonight for the Tatnick to Newton Sq Neighborhood meeting. Folks making arguments for and against rotary. Moe unsurprisingly seems quietly saying he'll see but probably opposed to any improvements. Or doing anything. Ever.

Curious who else is headed to the Tatnick/Newton Square neighborhood meeting tonight? Thinking about riding over given how nice it'll be. (Gif for laughs as Mr Bean is brilliant)

Not sure why I laughed so much from this headline, but I think it's the "It's just out for blood!" that got me.

So my current 3d print project is a this 3d printed heat insert press by gluFPV, along with the adaptor for a Worx MakerX soldering iron. Should allow for some other projects I want to get to, while adding to my 3d printed tools. Thx to WPL for printing :) www.printables.com/model/868742...

Incredibly tempted to put one of these up at several different intersections around town, including Newton Square

Ooooh, those are some nice looking bump outs, UMass Chan. 😍

Just now, while working at my kitchen table: CRASH! 3 car accident outside. 3rd car hit 2nd which pushed 2nd into 1st. 1st and 2nd are past the intersection at this point. Don't tell me we don't need traffic calming or slower speed limits. We clearly do. Thankfully, no major injuries.

I've been saying for years this is what they should be doing on Newbury Street in Boston.

Oh! Thanks for reminding me. I'll be on remotely.

I like hanging up flags outside my house. It's fun for me to put up various ones for holidays or just because. We've had Rebel Alliance, Pride, Jolly Roger, the New England Flag, and more. I'm struggling to decide what to put up for July 4th given the current state of things.

Glad I have my rain barrels hooked back up. Hope we get some rain soon to fill them. Next up is a transfer pump for more pressure and a timer for use with sprinklers at optimal times.

An absolutley brilliant ad explaining ranked choice voting for Maine Gov. Must watch to the end though as it is absolutely savage and I loved it. www.instagram.com/p/DZDyQmdpibB/

“The system wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t stupid,” [Kate] Marvel added. “Putting uninformed political hacks in charge of it is deeply stupid.” "Uninformed politicial hacks" is likely the nicest thing anyone in the administration has been called. I would call them worse. www.cnn.com/2026/06/04/c...

Spent my lunch break splitting and planting hostas as well as hooking my rain barrel back up. Need to get a new paver for the second barrel. Then on to getting a small transfer pump to utilize the water more efficiently. Sadly not in a place where I can elevate the barrels more in a safe way.

Anyone else just keep the tracking info up when working from home so you know when your package arrives. Watching the truck move around the Fedex map.

Rainy weekend in Worcester. Who want's to have a window screen rescreening party? ☔

Woke up angry from a dream at 5:45am. In said dream, I was incensed that some neighbors (who do not exist) had trimmed some of my hedges (which also don't exist) along my front sidewalk (which, you guessed it, also do not exist). To this, I say, dear brain, WTF?!

Listening to the @wgbh.org pledge drive. I already give monthly. Thinking about the coverage I just heard on @1a about abortion access. And thinking about how much good we could do if we just didn't have billionaires.

Is it so much to just want stability anywhere....

It's raining and I hate it. But on the bright side, tomorrow...

I love @worcesterpl.bsky.social and am so happy to hear about this.

If anyone is interested joining the CPC as an at-large member, please apply though the city. We have a couple vacancies and it is an amazing group to work with and have viable impact on the city. Happy to discuss my experiences with anyone interested. #woopoli www.worcesterma.gov/boards-commi...

Working from home this morning, but I’m especially missing Cordella's being open.

@growinwsdom.bsky.social do you think it's safe to move herbs that we brought in for winter like Rosemary, Thyme, and Sage back outdoors?

Progress on my project to move all my networking and smart home hubs to the basement. Yes, I know I should just get a server rack. Baby steps. Vertical cable management just finished 3d printing so gotta pick it up and then get it done. Almost there.

#Worcester folks, who is your preferred electrician. Need some outlets added to my basement. Involved adding a breaker. TIA.

Very iteresting tool for showing how physical space is being used. cyklokoalicia.sk/arrogance/

SOOOOO STOKED! www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Some cool work happening in Worcester! Local folks please check it out if you live in one of these program areas!

At issue is President Trump's challenge to a constitutional provision that has long been interpreted to guarantee American citizenship to every child born in the United States. Listen live.

1) Thank you @npr.org and @wgbh.org for your coverage of *gestures broadly* EVERYTHING. 2) Currently listening to SCOTUS hearing re birthright citizenship. 3) Cannot believe we are having to deal with this nonsense from the current administration and their cronies and sycophants.

In my dad era but it's just me wondering if anyone else in the house actually knows how to turn off a light when they leave the room.
