still can’t believe that given the choice between “bountiful, free, clean energy from the earth, wind, and sun” and “poisonous dead animal sludge price sensitive to global politics” we keep choosing the latter

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The goslings will hatch and tiny purple fire phoenixes will rise up, up: Dearly Beloved… and that’s where the aurora borealis comes from!

Rite of passage! I snap my fingers at them because we are bohemian beatniks

These will be the most important goslings since Ryan. (Sorry!)

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

I have never met anyone who says “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” who doesn’t spend their lives doing the most worthless stuff imaginable. Surgeons sleep. Poets sleep. Multilevel marketing gurus however…

I made an all-mint-plus-random pitcher! You are wise in the ways of teabag buffets

If you present any kid with a basket of tea bags with snow men and Santa Claus on them and other ones in interesting pyramids and tell them to pick one, and then do the same thing the next day—all kids become tea bag collectors!

I further, with profound sadness, must add that the key to getting up early seems to be going to bed early.

I mean, if you ended the sentence with “the Republican Party poisoned American society” id be on board too.

I have used this interval as the coffee brews to photograph the dog. Look at that baby! (Do not look at the drop cloth under the table which signifies a never-ending because I never finish it table restoration.)

I have invented a new beverage. It is called: Iced tea of every goddamn tea bag my kids brought home from every hotel and buffet because it had a good label. Method? Boil, add sugar, let God sort it out.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

I regret to inform you that I have been waking up to write at five o'clock in the morning and it's working.

truth. also: same for taking care of infants and toddlers! oh, you hate babies? how convenient for you... currently. same for elders. we all walk the same path.

I’ve been a cultural critic for 30 years. It doesn’t mean you give a thumbs up or thumbs down to … cultures. These idiots.

Oh very cool. I’m thinking of going next fall. I want to see Budapest and eat cake!!

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

The ending is: Very European! But I enjoyed the heck out of it and rewatched a bunch of scenes just for the art of them. Very novel eye-candy!
