With the holidays now "officially" upon us, figure it's a good time to remind I've been painting. I'm going to put some of my framed photography up this weekend as well.

Deskject that crapola!
I just reviewed an obviously AI-generated manuscript. Dear editors, these are not difficult to identify. Please spare your reviewers. We are already overworked, and if you send us AI-bullshit, we are forced to spend time explaining why the paper should be rejected. You could simply desk reject it.

The listeners get to vote if that top bit lowers down and squishes the lecturer.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The context here is a small group of idiots decided to give the shabby HUAC snitch Elia Kazan a special trophy for a handful of ho-hum movies and Ed and Amy correctly just weren’t having it.

Introduce yourself with seven philosophers who make sense to you, at least on some topics.

An intolerably androcentric list follows.

Alfred North Whitehead
David Hume
Nicholas Rescher
Noel Carroll
C.S. Peirce
Thomas Nagel
Not a trained philosopher, but I must include Samuel Johnson.

I even saw <baby> great horned owls.
Adults in flight are stealthy so even in a quiet forest if you blink and they glide somewhere you’ll spend an appreciable amount of time just scanning branches for even a chance of seeing them again. Adorable critters but silent death from above for small prey.
November 28, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Additional critters. Fox. Roadrunners. Moose. Red-shouldered hawk. Alligator lizard. King snake. Swarm of bees. (Enveloped me as they migrated somewhere.) Potato bug. Rabbit. Sea lions. Seals. Sea otters. Thrasher bird! Scrub jay. Stellar’s jay. Kangaroo rat (neither kangaroo nor rat.) Horned owl.

Ed rules. He plays a lot of tough guys but not just tough guys and there’s always another artistic or thematic element or two and you get the sense that has put an uncommon amount of thought and care into those characters to which he says yes.
