    Terrific story that only the great ⁦⁩ could do: The final demise of the BlackBerry. Cause of death was lack of imagination. But it was only 6 years ago that the president of the US was only allowed to use a BB, and he hated the thing.

    Brings back memories of a great time-travel novel: “Time and Again” by Jack Finney. Set in this very spot, in 1882. The novel is now 50 years old, and recently reissued.

    Horses, sleighs and carriages in Central Park snow, probably 1890s:

    A what-if of history: what if TR had lived another 30 years, and was alive for the FDR presidency, for WWII, for the decision to drop the atomic bomb, for the start of the Cold War? What if he was writing, prodigiously, as he always did, and maneuvering to affect decisions?

    The front page in 1919. Theodore Roosevelt dies at 60.

    This was 69 years ago, and we live with its echoes each day - from the declaration by North Korea (unproven) that it has tested a hydrogen bomb to the new concerns about revived arms races.

    Today 1953, outgoing President Truman announced advent of United States hydrogen bomb: "From now on, man moves into a new era of destructive power, capable of creating explosions of a new order of magnitude, dwarfing the mushroom clouds of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

    Deeply thoughtful thread from Rep. Andy Kim on Jan. 6, on the assault on the capital, the images of it all happening where Washington laid the cornerstone of the building, the denialism that followed, the challenge ahead. Must read.

    Something surreal about watching Pelosi and other Democrats happily greeting Dick Cheney, once their bete noire. Says something about how Trump has changed the nature of our politics.

    Use this anniversary of January 6 to remember that democracy is not a right, but a privilege whose flame we all have to defend every single hour.

    Brilliant news analysis by ⁦⁩ on Biden’s change of tactics, directly taking on the “former guy,” & building the case that it was Trump, watching and doing nothing from the Oval Office dining room, who was partly responsible for Jan 6.

    As a Red Sox fan, this ugly day, 101 years ago, needs to be forever buried in history. Worst deal of the century.
