There's something about the tones. Anyway, I've been playing around with recreating that lately. (These are examples from Kyoto in 2001/2.)

A Kyoto police officer in uniform and white helmet stands beside a white Honda police motorcycle on a city street, with crowds, cars, and bare trees lining the road in the background.

The vermilion gate of Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto, framed by tall green trees, with a white kei-van driving past on the street in the foreground and warm sun flare in the sky.

New Jersey overperforming here, as usual!

And I hate to say it, but probably too vague (so the due process issue) from "Affects the Commonwealth's interests" (a very broad line). Probably something like this would survive, though?

Nothing in the laws of the Commonwealth shall be construed to bar prosecution under Virginia law for conduct that independently constitutes a criminal offense under the Code of Virginia, regardless of whether such conduct was the subject of federal prosecution, acquittal, conviction, or executive clemency. The Commonwealth's Attorney may initiate such prosecution where the conduct occurred in whole or in part within the Commonwealth, or caused direct harm to persons or property within the Commonwealth.

I like this image of a Fire Horse and now you have to see it too.

A dramatic digital illustration of a fiery horse galloping dynamically across a dark black background, its entire body composed of vivid orange and red flames with trails of fire, smoke, and sparks extending from the mane, tail, and legs, creating a sense of intense motion and energy. The horse is in mid-stride with one front leg extended forward and the other raised, reflected symmetrically in a subtle glossy surface below.

Congrats to @analiliafornj.bsky.social (BIG WINNER for @njwfp.bsky.social) and much respect to @tommalinowski.bsky.social (grace!) in NJ-11. The biggest loser? AIPAC, who torpedoed Malinowski for moderate Israel/Palestine views (their candidate, former Lt. Gov. Way, was a distant third place).

Unfortunately, the outcome of our race cannot be understood without also taking into account the massive flood of dark money that AIPAC spent on dishonest ads, which falsely accused me of supporting Trump’s immigration crackdown, during the last three weeks. I wanted so much to be able to tell you today that this effort, which was meant to intimidate Democrats across the country, failed in NJ-11.

But the huge difference between the early vote, which we were winning comfortably, and the Election Day vote, suggests that it had a major effect. I met several voters in the final days of the campaign who had seen the ads and asked me, sincerely: “Are you MAGA? Are you for ICE?”

I come away from this experience believing even more strongly that unlimited dark money poses a threat to our democracy — whether it’s being spent by AIPAC or by special interests like the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence lobbies. These groups demand that members of Congress pledge 100% fealty to their unpopular positions or risk being destroyed by a massively funded deluge of personal attacks. Our Democratic Party must have the courage to stand up to these groups. We must remember that they need us — so that they can pretend to be bipartisan — much more than we need them. The American people will be with us if we do.

Okay, I have to say, I love my Samsung Family Hub fridge. It's actually perhaps the best fridge we've ever owned, and the display can be ignored. 90% of the time the display is just either other Samsung device status, since I love my smart home devices, and displaying art

Really excited to read through this. Takahashi has always been my favorite manga artist (and my favorite series has always been Ranma 1/2).

The photograph displays an art book titled The Art of Rumiko Takahashi COLORS 1978–2024 resting on a dark textured fabric surface adjacent to wooden flooring. The book cover features a holographic silver background with the artist’s name in large translucent letters across the top. Illustrated characters from Takahashi’s manga and anime works — including figures from Inuyasha, Ranma ½, and Urusei Yatsura — appear across the cover in various poses. The title text appears in bold black and red lettering in the center. A white paper band wraps around the lower portion of the book, displaying additional character artwork and the text: “Explore the iconic works of acclaimed manga artist Rumiko Takahashi!”

Extremely off topic, but I'm amused that Bluesky keeps telling me that your English posts are written in Japanese, and then asking me if I want to respond in Japanese.

This list of the results from Jersey City (and Hoboken) elections on Tuesday is awesome (from @katiebrennan.bsky.social). Mayor-Elect Solomon has a nearly completely aligned city council (or maybe completely aligned, with @eleanalittle.bsky.social and Gilmore already on-board).

Every single one of our endorsed candidates won. Progressive candidates swept Jersey City and Hoboken, beating machine-backed opponents across the board:

James Solomon for Mayor, Jersey City
Emily Jabbour for Mayor, Hoboken
Joel Brooks for City Council, Jersey City Ward B
Tom Zuppa for City Council, Jersey City Ward C
Jake Ephros for City Council, Jersey City Ward D
Rolando Lavarro for City Council, Jersey City At-Large
Mamta Singh for City Council, Jersey City At-Large
Michael Griffin for City Council, Jersey City At-Large

Obviously not scientific, but lol

An image of a quick poll titled "How do you think JD Vance would compare to Donald Trump as a president?". The poll results are displayed as: Better 16% (14,697 votes), Worse 31% (29,173 votes), and About the same 52% (47,692 votes). The poll dates are November 14, 2025, to November 17, 2025.

Sherrill and Spanberger have been consistently over 50% in polls this past week. Yes On 50 has a big lead in California. Dems now lead in most polls on the economy and inflation, a seismic shift in our politics. Also, people hate him - since Friday, -26 CNN -18 CBS -15 Strength In Numbers

Eye wish y'all a good night, and be good to each other. Happy Halloween.

A person stands on a city sidewalk wearing a striking costume: their head is covered by a large, detailed, and realistic-looking papier-mâché eyeball mask with a blue iris and red veins, surrounded by red streamers. They are dressed in a velvet maroon jacket with ornate gold embroidery, a patterned vest, a white shirt, jeans, and black shoes. The background features a metal bench, a street with parked cars, and a red-brick building with several windows, along with autumn trees displaying yellow leaves.

We went on a long trip to visit family. We were gone for a few weeks. We came back to a cat that clearly did not do anything but eat and sleep. Look at this chonk, who is now on a diet.
