I have a pair like those on the left. The chick screams at the crow, demanding to be fed.

(2/2)One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.' John Rogers

I know this is old but it still makes me laugh. (1/2) There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

For it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Tehran. And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates for there ain't no time to wonder why, Yippee, we're all gonna die. RIP Country Joe.

A research group that Ellen belongs to, SCIMaP, was identified by "The Nation" as one of the Public Health Heroes for 2025. The leaders include @asinclair.bsky.social , @joshuasweitz.bsky.social , and @falklab.bsky.social (Emily Falk). I couldn't be more proud.

2/2 Our ability to reduce carbon emissions is better than the most optimistic projections and medicine has shown giant strides, not only mRNA vaccines but using antibodies to fight cancer that gave Carter years of life. I'm not saying we dented the patriarchy but, absent Trump I'd be optimistic

1/2 One thing that bothers me about our current situation is that in at least two domains we have made great progress. .

Not my favorite week. Two decent but not great from Motown, a Randy Newman song (never a bad idea) a soapy Beatles song and the last gasp of bubblegum rock.

I'm trying to teach Carter about automotive design. It's possible I rushed things

Heading into Philadelphia a day early in June for the ALA Conference so I can spend a day at The Mutter Museum. Already been once, but frankly, ya gotta go multiple times. Like all good museums, it's too much to absorb in one trip.

I find myself wondering how much the Ivy League is to blame for the current chaos in the Democratic party. My two favorite politicians are Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown. Neither lost touch with working people by attending one of the Ivies.

I kept trying to come up with a rebuttal to any of these points — I lived through almost all of it — and I could not.

I was 18 in 1968. I don't remember seeing Eartha Kitt's White House remarks, "The children of America are not rebelling for no reason. They are not hippies for no reason at all. We don't have what we have on Sunset Blvd. for no reason... Mrs. Johnson – we raise children and send them to war."

I was reading the NYRB and saw "Internet’s hunger for content in the form of first-person narrative—highly condensed, written in an oblique yet evocative style, anchored in feeling, and built on a fiction of intimacy between authors and their audiences—has surely affected how we evaluate poems."

It's no fair to bring a Nene into a discussion of asshole geese. Swans, sure but not Nenes.
