"After attending Fayetteville Friends Meeting at Quaker House," Michelle Downey reflects, "the feeling of worship being based on quiet simplicity clinched it for me. Here was not just a philosophy of peace, but a whole attitude, lifestyle, and worship style based on peace."

This is "Pfaff's Restauration," a site of fascination for Whitman scholars, and a place where Walt was known to linger with his most important, but most mysterious lover: Fred Vaughan.

I built a 3D model of "The Boss," and asked Gemini to improve its photorealism. Then I modified that portrait. I've asked Gemini to generate a graphic-novel version, and I've carefully modified that, too.

There's got to be a metaphor here somewhere. A photographer in Canada found a toad with eyes in its mouth. This mutation, possibly triggered by parasitic infections, alters normal anatomy but doesn't prevent the toad from seeing, eating, or surviving.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. In 1976, a movie about conflict between a man and woman would revolve around the fact that she loves him dearly, but he doesn't earn much and she wants to leave him for a more comfortable life. In 2026... (continued below)
