Luke was a dear friend, and one of the best physicians I ever knew. When my sainted 90 year old grandmother was visiting me in chicago, she needed to see a doctor. There was literally only one person I would let see her: @stephensportsmd.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DZ-0HzhPPE...

As a guy who is *constantly* being auto-invited to review papers *completely* outside my wheelhouse, I’m cosigning on this.

I have no words. “Sometimes you have to break a few eggs…” cannot possibly be a moral or ethical framework to justify threatening children’s lives.

I had a funny memory of my mom this morning. I was in college, and we were listening to the radio. Alanis Morissette’s “you oughta know“ came on. Mom listened for a minute. Then she looked at me and said, “boy, talk about sour grapes.“

I play the opening lick of St. Thomas all the time, without even thinking about it, on my guitar. The way he took a step back to work on himself and his music before returning to the public eye was inspirational.

I’m watching the Counting Crows documentary. Their first 2 records were big for me. The doc is good! But this skeet is not about the Crows. It’s about the fact that every time Cyndi Lauper comes on, I love her more.

This Norm the Fox. He is very sneaky, works the edges of the yard, and does not like to pose within reach of my 24-60mm lens. I’m now ordering a proper zoom.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Rule:
The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising,
translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for
any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course
materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class
content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the
limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their
submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of
prohibited AI use

My books have only sold several thousand copies. My novel may only sell in the hundreds. However, I can promise every word is 100% my own work. I sweat over every syllable. A Nobel laureate complaining about the economics of writing and resorting to AI slop is embarrassing.

In order of importance Brother Robert by Annye Anderson, Johnson's stepsister, as she's the only one who actually knew him. Then Escaping the Delta by Elijah Wald for musical context and Up Jumped The Devil by Bruce Conforth and Gayle Dean Wardlow for the most readable biography.

First copy (to my knowledge) of my debut novel We Make You Feel Sane received by a reader…close to a week before the official publication date. Exciting to see it out in the wild! Available at Amazon, or even better, from your local indie shop.

The cover of We Make You Feel Sane, done by the inimitable Jeffrey Everett!

Thanks to @eightstonepress.bsky.social you can now read a story that has had my friends and family in stitches for decades. It has it all: Love. Loss. Lobsters. Cholera. (Ok, ok…more likely Staph aureus or Bacillus cerus. Possibly Shigella spp.) only in Beach Badge Magazine.
