We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

Four baby swans poke around the surface of a lake
Brightly colored ghost pipes emerge from the forest
A cluster of slime mold catches the morning sun
Violet coral fungus stretches outwards in front of a green forest
Happy Earth Day!

I regard consciousness as fundamental, and matter as a derivative of consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. ~ Max Planck Giorgio @perennialmystic

“A story that is any good can’t be reduced, it can only be expanded. A story is good when you continue to see more and more in it, and when it continues to escape you. In fiction two and two is always more than four.” —Flannery O’Connor, “Writing Short Stories” Archie Goodwin @ArchieG1946

Barry McCaffrey: Trump muses on awarding himself the Medal of Honor. A truly vile insult to the US Armed Forces.

Buttigieg: (We're not here to) put everything back the way it was. That’s not what we’re here to do...It’s not what we need.
(Maga is) destroying things right and left. So now we get a chance to put things together on different terms.

This beautifully-detailed 17C painting by Abraham Mignon is called Still Life with Fruit, Fish and a Nest, but for me this is a severe injustice to the frog, who is a highlight (NGA, Washington, 1675)
