Berlin Philharmonic, October 2015, Sir Simon Rattle conducting Beethoven's Eight and Sixth Symphonies. A few more lines and a lot more concerns 10 years later, but this is us, married, after 15 years together. Take that, Kim Davis. #gaymarriage

Leg day is my favorite day. I got an attenuated swimmer's body in the physique lottery and have to fight to keep muscle mass and volume.
Not bad for 64.

My inner Sicilian grandparents are conflicted - drying figs is great, but in an oven?
It's DC. Sun drying would be an open invitation to squirrel larceny.

That moment when DHS and ICE arrive in your neighborhood and you find out the Fire Department probably aren't your friends. In the Brookland neighborhood of Washington DC.

@joshtpm.bsky.social -- someone hyperbole adverse -- has taken to using the terms "feral" and "degenerate" when referring to the MAGA regime and the DOGE minions in particular.
I think the terms apply equally to people behaving like this.

Gardening first. Then the booze, a game, and food.
I'm going for the "On the Beach" Australian version of "Keep Calm and Carry On."

Sadly, political appointees and senior managers and executives don't get that. This was from a draft my team wrote in 2017 to get our agency to work across silos.
We never got a response.

The very high pollen count and UV index, plus the humidity make today a summer preview day in DC. I should remember to garden from 7 am until 11 am (or 0700 - 1100, in logical notation.)

It's been three weeks since Bootsy and Tick Tock died. Folks in both the digital and real worlds have been lovely and supportive; but not having these two larger than life family members managing our business, getting underfoot, and filling the physical and psychic space of our lives is hard.

I understand this; it's also become clear the First Amendment, however noble its intentions, has led to abuses that have led us to where we are today. The reply was intended to point to the need for a way to manage odious and harmful speech regardless of the media.

Sometimes algorithms do their jobs well. Apple Music's wake up playlist for me on a gloomy April morning. FWIW, there's 20 years of data tracking my listening to music from iTunes, so the algorithm would have to be shit to screw up.
