The “Manet and Morisot” exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum was exquisite. What a fantastic and rare friendship and collaboration they had — a nonsexual, professional relationship between a man and a woman in the late 19th century, two giants of Impressionism. San Francisco.

Sea Cliff, where fabulously wealthy people live in San Francisco. But the beaches are all public in California, including the jewel of China Beach at the center.

Did the empty container ship hit the sailboat? No, it sailed right past it. Golden Gate, just past Lands End, San Francisco.

San Francisco is the kind of place where you can find a compost bin along a nature trail. 💕

Trying to get the last bit of life out of my aging crabapple tree. Pruned it this winter after years of not doing so. It’s past its 25yr lifespan… advice is to just plant a new one. We’ll see how it fills out this month.

“I may be poor ...” began the call-and-response Rev. Jesse Jackson led in various forms before rapt audiences for more than half a century. “But I am ... somebody! I may be on welfare. But I am ... somebody! I may be in jail. But I am ... somebody! I may be uneducated, But I am ... somebody. I am Black. Beautiful. Proud. I must be respected. I must be protected. I am ... somebody!” — Rev. Jesse Jackson

Excerpt From
“Jesse Jackson, the civil-rights leader who twice ran for president, has died at 84”

“a new line crossed”
Screenshot of text from Philip Bump’s column linked in this thread: “While Smith was testifying, we learned that the White House had shared a manipulated photo of someone arrested by the Justice Department to show her crying, a new line crossed by an administration fully committed to prioritizing the scoring Online Points Against Their Enemies over dutifully informing the public even if they seek to persuade them. It’s just another form of lying, one for which a large segment of the media will make excuses — or offer cheers.”

Wow they really are not. More people need to see that archived article. Following up on their article, “Elon Musk’s AI chatbot generates child sexual images,” the Financial Times asks Grok to generate graphic images of all X’s top execs. archive.ph/2026.01.08-1...
Screenshot from Financial Times article showing X execs as clowns created by Grok. First is “Anthony Armstrong - Chief Financial Officer. Armstrong is a former Morgan Stanley banker and trusted lieutenant of Elon Musk who advised on the takeover of Twitter. He was appointed late last year to head up the finance function for both X Corp and xAI.”

Stood on the corner of a busy intersection in Colma this afternoon, with a bunch of other people who are demanding #ICEOutForGood & mourning Renee Good & all the other people ICE has killed. Many horn honks from cars in support. It’s up to us to refuse murder as normal, which does not seem hard.
Hands holding a sign reading “ICE OUT FOR GOOD” and “R.I.P. Renee Good”

At Soquel Creek where it empties into Monterey Bay at Capitola. This past August in Capitola, California (near Santa Cruz).
Restaurants with outdoor seating on two levels beside Soquel Creek. People are seated at tables at Margaritaville and Paradise Beach Grille. Water in the creek glistens and shows reflections of the restaurant buildings beyond.
