On a Redford movie binge. I was skeptical that "The Horse Whisperer" would hold up. It does. Fantastic movie and a fantastic performance by Redford.

@gruber.foo Regarding "ABC Shuts Down FiveThirtyEight, and Pulls the Plug on Its Website," the other thing to mention is that they (ABC) invested in and paid good money for years to produce the very content that they pulled the plug on. It makes no sense.

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

Congratulations to Chuck Scarborough on his retirement. If you grew up in the NYC area, you know he's been a fixture reporting local NYC area new on NBC4 for over 50 years. An absolute professional and someone who I know I will sorely miss. Thank you, Chuck.

@deck.blue Thank you for this awesome app. I lived in TweetDeck for years and this makes me feel right at home on Bluesky.
A small issue I'm seeing is that if I stop using the app for a period of time, the columns seem stuck and don't auto-refresh. I have to reload. Just me, or a known issue?

The human mind is an amazing, frustrating and often times ridiculous thing.
A month ago, nearly two-thirds of Republicans said that their economic situation was worse than a year ago. One Trump victory later, fewer than half do.
