Got in my final 5 mile outdoor run of 2025 yesterday. It was a beautiful, calm, sunny, 50 F day in late #November. Now, it's the treadmill until May for me.

US Border Patrol's abuses long predate the Trump regime, but are increasing by orders of magnitude now. Here's some excellent AP reporting on just one way the government spits on civil liberties […]

Today I discovered Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945), an amazing German artist whose power anti war work spanned the turbulence and dangers of two wars.

In July 1936, she was visited by the Gestapo and threatene with arrest and deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. She […]

8 weeks ago I removed the #amazon app from my phone. The goal was to move farther away from #mag7 companies, and end my bad habit of ordering addictive crap I don't really need. It's working. And what little crap I do need and can't source locally or directly from an online seller, I buy through […]

Can you take 4 minutes to help me out? A musician friend I have Friday drinks with doesn't think we can earn him 10 cents in streaming residuals from his old punk band.

I'll let you know how it goes.
