I have discovered a planet. It is a land free from anguish. A limpid pool releases sporadically there. Perhaps one day we will explore there.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it...

... I journey to jupiter,
that gaseous sphere,
vast world unto itself-
a giant, #silentplanet...

If you’re out there labeling anti-fascists as terrorists, I’m pretty sure that makes you pro-fascist

Opinion | ‘No One Should Be Very Confident’: Four Economists Dissect Trump and the Economy

"Economists have done a very poor job updating their assumptions to a novel policy environment where the government is actively trying to raise prices (via tariffs) and reduce job growth (via immigration enforcement)..."

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale.

But they want us to think they do.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Late afternoon stroll along Derwent Water. Found a hollow tree striking a disco pose. Or waving for help. The water was barely ankle-deep, so it's probably fine...

I wish America could set its flags to half mast for all the children that Trump and his friends have molested. 🤷 🇺🇸 #EpsteinFiles

I have no children and therefore no grandchildren, but I need to be able to look at myself in the mirror and sleep at night.

I hate being governed by people with smooth brains

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

That is the tiniest and sweetest little baby I have EVER seen…. 😍🥰

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

It's not only metal items or bottles I'm on the lookout for while detecting. I also pick up any pieces of pottery or pipe stems I come across. Those items are as important to dating activity at a site as the metal items are. If you have a keen eye, you never know what you'll find.

Because attraction is most strongly connected to taste, you are more likely to experience love at first lick than love at first sight.

That's so interesting.

Can you make sense of that?

Good, but hungry.
