Something Democrats should also be pointing out is how much economic growth the nation has lost due to this admin's immigration policies. This was just a quick Google search Gemini result.

I love that moment, when you start to read a book that you're excited for for the first time. I devoured the preface and the forward, and now I am devouring the meat of the text - the cast of characters.

This is a page of the cast of characters in Steven Brust's novel, The Baron of Magister Valley. At the bottom of the page there is the inclusion of two characters - Unnamed cutthroat: A mercenary and Unnamed mercenary: A cutthroat.

Woke up to lightning and thunder. Here is the best photo I managed to get.

The photo is the outside sky taken through a window. There are tree tops in the bottom portion of the photo, eaves in the top portion, and the rest of it is white light from sheet lightning filling the sky.

Looks so 2000 late. Giant Bomb had their office in a similar looking building back in 2010.

Matthew Rorie and Alex Navarro share a couch while talking with Ryan Davis, who is in an armchair. There's a doll controller in the background, which was used with a Wiimote for a game centered on child rearing. The back wall is brick and features posters for Fast and Furious, Tokyo Drift and another movie featuring Stallone (not sure if it's Frank or Sylvester).

Nature is waking up more and more. I didn't get pics of the goslings, but they were pretty cute. Anyway, the duck and squirrel both felt comfortable being near me in the hopes for food. I disappointed them.

I am rereading Steven Brust's book Orca, and I am struck in wonder by how much Fyers sounds like Trump (based on the lowdown Kiera received from Stony).

pages 48 and 49 of the paperback version of Orca by Steven Brust, published 1996

I had blocked out my ownership of these action figures from memory (besides some of the He Man figures).

An arrangement of He Man fugures (9), Dick Tracy figures (7), and a Peter Vankman figure.

There's something comforting in seeing that the outdoor basketball courts at my old grade school are still horrifically slanted 40 years later. New play equipment, but same bball court.

The Oregon Coast Range was so beautiful this morning. Pockets of a bright Grey sky behind a line of trees, deciduous on the right, leaves yellow or fallen, conifer on the left, green and majestic. The ocean was roiling, too, which is always nice.

Still the best troll photo I ever took.

This book, No Life Forsaken, by Steven Erickson is amazing. #Malazan

"As my teacher once told me, Holy One, a society founded upon absolute freedom is a flower-bed inviting every plant, no matter how evil. If freedom means nothing but the privilege of washing one's hands of all responsibility, then evil will indeed thrive, in abundance."

I'm reading through the new #Malazan book that came out today - No Life Forsaken, and this quote really popped out to me. Separation of church and state was one of the great ideas of America's founders, and all of those who are working to end that separation are setting us up for a fall.

Arenfall shrugged. "The doctrine is muddled, Adjunct. Once you apply holy words to secular interpretation, the very sacredness of those words becomes tarnished. Oppression of rival beliefs answers mundane needs, not godly ones. The same for political independence."

Cover of Superman that has Lois Lane saying, Drop dead, Superman! Mister Mxyzptlk is the only man for me!" She is walking away from a dumbfounded Superman, arm and arm with the being from the 5th Dimension.

Deerbutt I saw this deer directly on the path in front of me, but he (4 or 5 point buck) bolted the second he saw me. Luckily, he stopped after going a bit into the woods to munch on some greenery.
