Democrats have to explain what we're trying to build, not just what we're trying to block.

Econ 101
Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I love fall so much. I've lived in Vermont my whole life and foliage season still seems like such a completely bonkers and beautiful thing to happen every year. It never gets old. 🍂
Photo of a pile of leaves on vibrant dark green moss. I collected lots of fallen leaves of different colors from different plants and trees and arranged them in an egg-shaped gradient going from green at the top to yellow and then orange and then red to darkest reds at the bottom.

“Just a cat”. Rude! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a lovely shorthaired grey cat standing on a line of smooth rocks that look like they may have been placed there to border a driveway or something. The cat is looking at the camera with its tail up, obviously friendly. Cursive handwriting in the upper left corner reads “Just a cat”.

This reminds me of when my kids watched a Reading Rainbow video of Corduroy the Bear. When that stuffed bear came to life and jumped down off the shelf, my youngest went screaming from the room. Wanted NOTHING to do with things that aren't supposed to move on their own, moving on their own 😱

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this "Eat, Drink, and be Scary" Felt Banner. I think it is offensive to call skeletons scary. This one is just trying to host a nice dinner party. Maybe he thinks humans are scary. I'd argue that skin is creepier than bones. collabs.shop/vsylud
A Halloween-themed pennant banner with a black center on an off-white background. The text reads "EAT, DRINK, &" at the top and "BE SCARY!" at the bottom. In the middle, a skeleton sits at a laden table with pumpkins, candles, and food, holding a glass. An orange bat is illustrated below the bottom text.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

Xifang Temple (Moss Temple), World Cultural Heritage, Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City., Japan Photography by Katsu
Winding gently through a thick velvet carpet of emerald moss, a sequence of flat, slate-grey stepping stones (tobi-ishi) leads the eye toward the serene depths of a woodland sanctuary. Scattered across the vivid green ground, freshly fallen maple leaves (momiji) burst in brilliant shades of crimson, maroon, and rust, forming a natural autumn tapestry beside the stone trail. The soft, dappled light filtering through the overhead canopy highlights the rich contrast between the damp moss and the fiery foliage. The photograph evokes an immersive, tranquil sensory atmosphere: the cool, humid scent of damp earth and moss rising from the forest floor, the soft hush of falling leaves, the gentle rustle of autumn air, and the quiet, rhythmic weight of footsteps treading slowly along wet river stones.   Captured within the revered grounds of Saihō-ji (commonly known as Kokedera or the Moss Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyoto’s Nishikyo Ward, this landscape exemplifies classic Zen garden architecture. Originally converted into a Rinzai Zen temple by the distinguished monk and garden designer Musō Soseki in 1339, Saihō-ji boasts over 120 varieties of moss that blanket the grove, thriving in the damp climate along the foot of Mount Matsuo. The implementation of tobi-ishi (stepping stones)—pioneered in tea garden design (roji)—was intentionally conceived to guide visitors through the space at a deliberate, contemplative pace, forcing one to look down, slow their thoughts, and engage in walking meditation. The meticulous preservation of this living landscape across centuries reflects the highest spirit of horticultural monozukuri (artisanal mastery and devotion), where temple gardeners and monks carefully tend each patch of moss and maintain the delicate ecological balance.

My obsession with sweaters resulted in them outgrowing the dresser drawer. So I got a corner shelf then they outgrew that. So I got fabric storage bins that fit under the dresser to hold the extras. /1
