English landscape was invented by gardeners imitating foreign painters who were evoking classical authors. The whole thing was brought home in the luggage from the Grand Tour. Here, look -- Capability Brown doing Claude, who was doing Virgil. Arcadia!

We shed as we pick up, like travelers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.

I got to play Hannah Jarvis in a better-than-average community theater production of Arcadia. His language is dazzling. I learned so much about Byron, Capability Brown, fractal math, entropy, literary sniping, and the longevity of tortoises.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Hegseth must resign and be held accountable for war crimes. @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social @repgabevasquez.bsky.social @fernandez.house.gov
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Brilliant peaceful monkey-wrenching #AbolishICE #BoycottHomeDepot
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Kitty, wait. No, kitty, no. Must you do the scarf-and-barf thing right under the chair I’m sitting in, so that I step in it when I get up to grab paper towels?

Hey, Skeep friends! Let’s make this a thing before Thanksgiving. Donate any amount to show your appreciation for farm workers.
I donated because I’m grateful for the people who work so hard to keep me and all of my neighbors fed.
We can’t do Thanksgiving without farm workers: Make a donation during this season of thanks and giving and help fund change all year long. act.seiu.org/a/thanksgivi... or paypal.com/paypalme/ufw... #WeFeedYou

I saw Koyaanisqatsi last night at the Lensic in Santa Fe, with live music by the Phillip Glass Ensemble. Didn’t realize that filmmaker Godfrey Reggio lives in SF. I hadn’t seen/heard it since it came out in 1982. It broke my brain again. Beautiful and disturbing.

I hate plumbing projects; pathological procrastination kicks in. I present to you: the new disposal unit, with plumbing connections that are not leaking at the moment. The stupid part: the old disposal wasn't broken; the wall switch was burnt out. I don't do electrical; paid for that repair.
