I don’t know which emotion I feel more acutely: grief, or rage.
Either way, this is a devastating end to a truly decent human.

Went outside to nab a couple little bits of cedar branches to photograph the new painting with, and found this lovely little stick covered in lichens and tiny moss! Full size photos for all that detail goodness (that I could get on my phone at least).

Bruce’s essays are a balm to those of us deconstructing from xtianity, and religion in general.

I have always been a fan and carried high respect for the writings and thoughts put forward by atheist Bruce Gerenscer. Bruce is one of the nicest and most sincere guys around and I value him as a person. It is very sad folks would act like this toward him.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.
Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

The whole display was cringe-inducing and pitiful.
How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

And I admit, I’m a tad envious; there is much in this world about which I wish I knew nothing.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.
