sour candy did the best job for me.

As someone who lived through it, the biggest difference I perceive is not that transphobia is bigger today per se, but that it's far more *organized* and funded with big money.

A couple of weeks ago I traveled to Singapore for the first time. It was a fascinating trip in many ways, and the recent US east coast heat wave had prepared me for the climate. Here's a view from our office of an afternoon rainstorm. Window reflections removed by Gemini, but otherwise unedited.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

Let us drink a toast to the memory of Willis Haviland Carrier, the inventor of modern air conditioning. This message brought to you by a high of 96ºF/36ºC today. However, it was a beautiful day for a scenic drive up the GW Parkway along the Potomac.

He's not even right on the trends: VA districts across the state shifted left during the state election last fall. Even "Trump Country." Just at the state legislature outcomes.

Excellent spring weather for a work visit to Zürich. It's quite pleasant to be outside the US for a bit.

A photo of the city center of Zürich, Switzerland on a partly cloudy afternoon with the tree-lined Limmat river in the foreground. In the middle ground, the roofs of Zürich HB (main train station) and Landesmuseum Zürich (national museum) show above the trees. In the far background are Zürisee (Lake Zürich) and the Alps.

I have to say, the office view here is hard to beat.

The San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge on a sunny day with high wispy clouds. Take from an office building at the intersection of the Embarcadero and Harrison Street in San Francisco.

Corollary: you can tell what any organization's actual priorities are, regardless of what anyone says, by where they place and use their resources.

Philadelphia as we flew past.

A late twilight aerial photo of Philadelphia, PA (and Camden, NJ). The city lights fill most of the picture, with the Delaware River clearly visible. On the horizon at left is the very last bit of color from the sunset, and in the middle left is the jet engine nacelle of the airliner the picture was taken from.

Agreed. I've started baking bread every 2 weeks, just as a grounding exercise.

I've worked on health care related projects for HHS. I am sad to see political appointees destroying the Department's mission and legacy every time I check the news. Too bad this regime doesn't vet appointees as thoroughly as they do employees and contractors.
