Backgammon

Nope! Try again.

Daily reminder

On November 16, 1974, the first intentional interstellar radio message is sent from Arecibo Observatory's radio telescope in Puerto Rico towards star cluster M13, the same day "Kung Fu Fighting and Other Great Love Songs" was released, so no, Carl Douglas, not *everybody* was kung fu fighting.

Art refuels me, overwhelms me…

The children’s raw creativity makes me so happy.

Small green, white and red bird perched on a branch

Meet the Puerto Rican Tody, my most wanted bird on a recent trip to Puerto Rico. It’s about 3 inches tall and has more Christmas energy per gram than any other bird I know. Happy merry, all 🎄

Where Is Traveling by Train a Good Option in the US? When air travel falters, how many travelers even have the train available as backup?

The government shutdown got me thinking: How many flights in the US are actually replaceable by train? It depends on how insane you are, but the basic answer is: Not Many!

70% of flights shorter than 500 miles have no train option at all. Out of those that do, 65% would likely be faster by car.

Torturing her
Hiding her soul
that tends to peek
here and there
And we both reach
(From two far ends
of this forest).
I hear you, I say
But there’s still
so much, it seems
To weed through
So I can see you
Forgive you and
Forget you.
So I can be just me

Lighther

How much of her do I still need to kill?
Have my hands not strangled her enough?
Have I not baptized, cleaned, accepted, repudiated, loved and hated her enough?
Sadistic the thoughts
that addicted, just want to rest
From being inside her
From giving birth to her
From cradling,

Photo my kid took with my camera of our dog taking a nap on our sofa while striped lines of light cover him and sofa. The dog is a mini, long haired dachshund.

La ventana
me regala
estrías de luz
Inconstantes
Y me enseña
en su claridad
la distopia del blanco y negro
que lo que está claro hoy
cambia de forma
y mañana
se transforma
en mentiras
que susurra el cerebro
al corazón.

Art is advertising for the soul.

Energy is better spent CREATING the world you want to live in, rather than (just) REACTING to it.

“Humanitarian disaster in Gaza” you mean the deliberate mass starvation of millions being orchestrated as a weapon of genocide BY ISRAEL and Netanyahu the man you posed beside two weeks ago

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

My favorite Zohran moment of this campaign. And why, more generally, he won:

I understand you, little ant 🐜 I would have jumped in too!

💥 We want DEMOCRACY, NOT DICTATORSHIP 💥

That means standing up to executive overreach.

It also means protecting ALL New Jerseyans – from immigrants facing detention & deportation to folks who rely on federal healthcare for life-saving treatment.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
