Been watching the first few episodes of #TheLazarusProject and wow.... I'm not sure who the good guys are, but I'm fairly convinced that #TimeTravel is a #Horror genre.

ICE trying to ORDER a church to REMOVE A NATIVITY SCENE is one of the most astonishing First Amendment violations I've seen in ever
robertscotthorton.bsky.social Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · Dec 10
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

Computer History Lesson!!! Computer monitors used to weigh 40-50 pounds! And they came in huge boxes, two feet on a side, packed with big chunks of styrofoam. And the screens were only 17 inches across!!!

(Why was this even in the crawlspace anymore?)

The sad reality of course is that he lost.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "AI doesn't care if you live or die." Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "talk to humans" Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "Fuck this!" Sign for a "Friend" ad defaced with graffiti reading "you don't have to accept this future."

Here in Suburban Maryland, it's less than a week to Thanksgiving and one of our Black-eyed Susans still has a flower, #Persistence

#Flowers #gardening #photo
A black-eyed Susan flower lying among a bed of dry, fallen autumn leaves. The flower’s yellow petals are wilted and drooping, and some are curled or partially missing, giving it a weathered, end-of-season appearance. Its dark brown central disk is still intact. The surrounding leaves are mostly shades of brown, tan, and muted green, emphasizing the contrast with the flower’s remaining bright yellow color.

The article says this particular TARDIS won't travel through time and space, but I disagree. That's *exactly* what books let you do!

Tomato oil - because nobody likes a squeaky tomato.
The photo shows jars of Wegmans Spicy Tomato Oil on a grocery store shelf. The bright red labels read “Tomato Oil – dipping oil & sauce,” and note that it’s great for bread, pasta, pizza, and antipasti. Two jars are prominently displayed side-by-side with black lids, and other jars are partially visible around them.
