If you asked me what I did last week, I'd be hard pressed to remember. But if you said a first & last name of one of my former students from the past twenty years.... I can remember what their handwriting looks like 🤦‍♂️

I've seen 3 people in Tommy Hilfiger t-shirts in 3 days and can't understand why

British Airways is the United Airlines of Europe. I said what I said.

Introducing Future Ruins.

Some of the most powerful music of our time has never been heard live—until now.

On Saturday, November 8, @future-ruins.bsky.social arrives in Los Angeles: a first-of-its-kind music festival of the world’s most influential composers.

Happy May Day, New Jersey.

I've been a Union Ironworker for 48 years, and it's incredible to see the strides labor has made both in NJ and across the country.

The fight is never over. Now, more than ever, we're ready to have a labor leader in the Governor's Office.

If @vingopal.bsky.social is texting "Breaking News" about who to vote for in Neptune Twp, it means he's scared of the other guy.

Don't vote for Acciani. A friend of Vin, is a friend to none.

Customer service rep told me I need to engage in a respectful conversation. My reply? I'm from NJ and I assure you that you would 1000% know if you were being disrespected

Currently leaning towards Fulop for governor, but need to do more research. Otherwise, Newark's Donna Jackson is my go-to fill-in candidate.

Sean Spiller did not qualify for state, matching funds for his campaign because he is exclusively using teachers union funding, which I think is unethical. He should be running for governor or not for President of the teachers union which he already is.

Not sure who my Gov candidate is, but I do know it won’t be Spiller. He was mayor of my town. His personal ambition and lack of interest in actually running the town were the hallmarks of his term. Many fellow residents feel the same way. No way I would ever vote for him.

After all, it was @vingopal.bsky.social's idea in 2013, but made permanent in 2018.

Who would have ever imagined a worldwide pandemic, and subsequent buyers paying over 100k above asking price? Should be another investigation since prices didn't meaningfully jump until the last one was concluded.

Do you know how easily @vingopal.bsky.social could play the hero by pausing the unfair and ridiculous yearly reassessment of Monmouth County homes?

It's almost as if he has something to personally gain by being one of the 3 counties out of 21 that do so....

This Sandhill Crane was hiding by a tree just before taking flight. A Sandhill always gives good notice before flight by leaning forward and pointing their head in the direction they will take flight.

Anyone else getting dangerously close to running for local office? After finishing the obligatory 25 years of teaching as a Tier 1 employee, this might be my second act.

Ooohh SunRun solar would be wise to meet me in the middle. I really have a way with words and the back-story is truly worth going viral over.
