When we took a tour of Congress Hall in Philadelphia, we sat in the room where this ceremony took place. The park ranger told us that the crowd that Adams described came to see if this peaceful transition of power would indeed, really take place. A novelty, indeed!
We should not take for granted how novel this is, how fortunate citizens of the USA have been to see this preserved, and how easily it could be lost. (3/3)

In a letter to his wife the next day, Adams wrote:
"In the Chamber of the House of Representatives, was a Multitude as great as the Space could contain, and I believe Scarcely a dry Eye but Washingtons. The Sight of the Sun Setting full orbut and another rising tho less Splendid, was a novelty." (2/n)

Today marks the anniversary of the inauguration of John Adams in 1797. This occasion marked the first peaceful transition of power between heads of state. A cornerstone in the great experiment of democracy. (1/n)

Just returned from wkly grocery shop at our local market, a Stop and Shop. Met group of Teamsters in the parking lot who told us about a boycott due to health care benefit dispute at a nearby distribution ctr in Freetown MA. If the union does not accept the terms of the health benefit reduction, company will shut down distr ctr.
While we were talking, store manager confronted them & told they had to be on the sidewalk, which is so far away they could not talk w/ anyone.
@tonymasiello lovely

Pregame interview hex... Super Bowl XLII Bradshaw interviewed Brady and talked as if Brady has already won the game and completed the perfect season.
Today, Brady gets revenge asking Mahomes to use one word to describe himself when he completes the three-peat and Mahomes takes the bait. HEX!
Win the game, then flap your jaw!

I just followed an account from threads.net, but I don't see any posts for that user in the app (Moshidon/Android) but I see lots in the browser. I tried going to a single post in the browser, copying the url, and pasting in into the search in the app. I get...
Could not find anything for these search terms.
Any ideas why that is? Will posts between the instances eventually federate now that we are connected? Thank you!

Just got an email from AOC comparing the chaos and fear of the Frump administration to The Wizard of Oz.
"but genuinely: all of these big, scary things, it reminds me of the end of The Wizard of Oz, where you yank back the curtain — and it's a little guy. It's a small, scared, incompetent little man."

Wow! This story seems to be getting ignored by the mainstream media. This is disgraceful!
@tonymasiello haha. 💯 Agreed.

WOW!!!! Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS!!!
Last week was the stunning Aurora Borealis and tonight was by far the best naked eye comet I have ever seen! Even in my crappy light-polluted town, this was pretty spectacular!
This was a six second exposure with my Olympus EM-5 and an adapted Canon FD 135mm lens at f/3.5. I used Irfanview to increase the contrast a little.
