DW Griffith was born 150 years ago today.

I've trained you. You know what to do.

What was he? Racist.

What did he invent? Nothing at all.

Why would history books claim that? Look at Elon Musk!

Close up portrait of a Bohemian Waxwing - a grey bird with peachy face, black eye mask and crest. It looks very very soft.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

A Bohemian Waxwing on a branch. The bird is brown and grey with peach on the forehead and cheek. There is black on the chin, across the eye and in the wings. There are white, red and yellow lines on the wing and yellow at the tip of the tail. The head crest is down and backlit by the sunset.

With 2026 continuing the slide from awful to terrible, I should stop whining and post some colour to lift the mood.

Good morning!
First flowers of the year on my Brunnera today. 🌱
Have an amazing day!

There are many photogenic birds out there but the Lilac-breasted Roller is one of my favorites. I call them "Damn Birds" because it seems like every time I get one in focus, they fly away and I go "damn!" 😆 But once in awhile, they stand still!
