A lot of capitalism had to happen to bring a leaf blower into my yard. And yet, it seems misplaced.

“Since Berry wrote that in 1980, you can now order from Amazon while standing in the Amazon and everything is available almost year-round despite the season or geography. We could add the constant focus on careers and “professional development” to this.

My local government replies to my email with AI to tell me what I’m feeling and the recycling isn’t actually getting recycled. - Justin Harter

I wish I'd been an author in the 80s or 90s instead of this. I want to live in seclusion with a little garden and only come out to deliver a book to my publisher once a year. At most. And then they give me heaps of money and I never have to do any of my own marketing. Can we bring this back.

Classes resumed at IU and last weekend was the first due date. I start my Photoshop class with "Animals in Things" and I love the wildly different scenarios I get sometimes. Like these two.
