Why the Afroman trial matters, beyond comedic value: - Salving a white woman's tears over the consequences of her own actions is less important than invading the home of a black man. - Redress for the bruised egos of white men is of lesser consideration than the affront faced by a black man.

What were they thinking going after Afroman! You don't get in a war of words with a man unafraid to issue unapologetic melodic ditties about getting high. (My personal favorite is also Crazy Rap).

Can we please retire the phase, "let me be clear" as delivered by nearly every politician in nearly every speech? As a rhetorical device, it is tired. "Clear" is subjective. "Let me" implies that a mysterious other is stopping you. "Be" is saying you weren't already being clear.

I read once that Michelangelo was asked to make the Sistine Chapel more “appropriate” (church objected to the nudity) & he answered “simply make the world a suitable place & painting will soon follow suit.”

You have to wonder what circumstances required the addition of the bottom sign that defines what "large" means. And did it have an intersecting point with Herds of Animals? I would very much like to see what the script is for the person answering the phone.

Sign from a road crossing in Ireland. The top sign describes that large vehicles and herd of animals must call before crossing. An additional sign on the bottom has extensive definitions of what large means. The signs are white with a red border and the top of the sign has two red lights.

Trees form veins against a cold sky. In the distance, the Atlanta skyline. In the foreground, a perfectly rusted tin roof.

Bare trees are dark lines against a cold blue sky. In the distance, an orange smudged line from the sunsetting. In the bottom left, a rusted tin porch roof is visible. Other houses are visible around the sides of the image.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Just went to YDFM (if you know you know) (it's a massive farmer's market) and I very nearly shuddered at the giant pile of green beans. I used to like green beans. But nearly every Factor meal has green beans and after 10 months of no kitchen i just - can't green bean no more.

See that sheet of plastic? Inside that is what used to be my kitchen but is now the skeletal remains. No kitchen since June. When I tell you I am growing despondent from lack of cooking - I've even lost that callous in the crook of your thumb from knife work.

I'm redoing all of our websites so I'm shopping for fonts. I cannot tell you how much more enjoyable all my feeds are now that they are filled with ads for font designers. Nearly as delightful as the week I was looking for a new fountain pen.

I am this old. I have books about technology that are older than most people currently on this platform. Found this in my bookshelf when I was cleaning it out. So, when I say I have always been an early adopter, here's the proof point. My distaste for GenAI is not about being afraid of technology.

No, Claude is not anxious. Anxiety requires two components: 1. Awareness of the possibility of annihilation of self. 2. An autonomic nervous system. Mimicry of the words of an anxious person is not being anxious. A dog can be anxious. Your plagiarism machine cannot.

I have to convert 13 of our websites from a custom theme to Divi5 (two of them ecomm) and if anyone ever romanticizes "being your own boss" and "entrepreneurship" just remember it's not all fun and chic purses.

FIFA has officially issued President Trump a yellow card. If he assassinates another world leader, it’ll become an automatic red card and he won’t be eligible for another FIFA Peace Prize for 4 years.

I wish everyone could be blessed with a dog who wants only to lovingly watch you while you watch TV. Lucia found us as a starved puppy while we were on vacation in Spain. She's a complicated and difficult dog in some ways, but her love is as big as she is.

A large Anatolian mix dog named Lucia rests her head on a stack of white pillows. The pillows are in a bed with a wood frame made of fluted trim. Lucia is carefully tucked under a fluffy white duvet. In the soft glow of a Chinese pottery lamp, the dark brown eyes of the dog softly gaze at an unseen person. The dog has a creamy white body, large floppy brown ears, and a black speckled snout. She is content which shows in her relaxed posture laying on her side.
She is tired from barking at squirrels and at a pair of mating barn owls that have taken turns swooping at her from a giant oak tree all day.

For everyone not in GA and interested in messaging coming from the Secretary of State about the FBI raid of 2020 voting records from Fulton County, here's what was in my inbox this morning. Please note the absolute contortions to keep from naming Trump and this administration in any way.

I once organized a weekend camping trip in an open field for 120 Girl Scouts and their mothers. No running water. We had three hot meals per day and did not use paper goods. People underestimate just how good women are at logistics. I will put these talents to good use in a heartbeat if needed.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

You cannot watch the Trump Davos speech and conclude anything other than he is mentally disturbed. Anyone still supporting him in the name of conservatism or party loyalty is, I can only conclude, doing so because they find a cozy joy in white supremacy.

Just spent 2 hours escorting my 80 year old mom to a cocktail party with her friends in a chichi gated community on Hilton Head. (There is a long story here). The group has been around YEARS and they're called the 6to8s. Y'all, if only they could stay awake until 9 they could've had a funnier name.
