Bur oaks wreathed by Virginia creeper in various stages of fall color. I don't like how Virginia creeper takes over like this but I do like its fall color against the oak bark.

A large bur oak with a large branch visible, wreathed by Virginia creeper that is various colors from green to red.

Another bur oak with very rough bark and Virginia creeper growing up its trunk.

That's how they manufacture consent for the largest population of prisoners in the history of the world. So yes, abolish the death penalty. Fuck public executions. But also abolish the system that makes it possible, starting with the cop in your head.

Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

I know two guys in their 20s with lifelong and life changing injuries from playing football in high school. I would abolish high school football in a heartbeat.

I tried to explain user friction to a 23yo coworker one day and how Ive experienced its increase everywhere beyond websites...radio controls, tvs, digital interfaces on appliances, and I was trying to be technical, grounding it in web design theory but she said I sound old and against change.

This reminds me of the Amish-run donut stand in the flea market in Wilmington, DE with an old timey ticket dispenser. You walked up to it, pulled a lever, and took a ticket. Then they called your number and you ordered your donuts. Amazing donuts.

Man, Anne Hathaway. Impossible for me to watch her interviews. It must be how the kids feel when I do something "cringe" in public.

I like this article, but I have always been in circles that took Enya seriously I guess. Fun though to hear young artists be so inspired by her. "In the mid ’90s, she turned down an offer to score Titanic."

Love that taya miller got to see the dressing the galaxy book at the lucas museum. Very unsettled that she'd never seen the costume concept designs before? images I feel are woven into my brain cells like ive always seen them. Where are the kids getting their prequel info these days?

Saw a cute post on how Xena "wasnt just a show" it was serious esoteric spiritual teaching and i just think that is so funny 🤣. But Im open to the idea someone could learn something from it, it wasnt completely fluff. It had respectable self-respect.

The death penalty makes no sense. Why would we make it legal for our obviously fucked up justice system to kill us as punishment?

the effects are nice and all but the most impressive thing about early ILM is that everybody made it out alive

The adventures of ILM continued in November 1976. Joe Viskocil and Bruce Logan were now helping Richard Edlund do explosions, eventually blowing up seven models in the Van Nuys facility. "We had one really glorious explosion of one of the TIE fighters," Viskocil says, "and Richard almost lost his ear." In the ILM editorial department there was another close call. "I used to take pieces of film I was working on and put them over my neck," Dykstra says. "Every once in a while, I'd screw up and put one of the pieces of the film that was around my neck into the Moviola—and almost cut my head off!" Upstairs, in a room with some fairly dilapidated couches, dailies of special effects shots began to be a regular occurrence. The attendees would offer their critiques, but would also begin to scratch themselves after a while (some ILMers were bringing in their flea-ridden dogs, who would sleep on the couches).

I saw the Betelgeuse Betelgeuse stage show last night, what a theater kid show. Very online, very liberal, really entertaining, I had fun. Needs a little bit of editing for length/fist pump song endings and the choregraphy needs a small upgrade. I liked it loads more than the movie.

Walked by Meryl Streep's husband's sculpture today on my way to look at trees. I recently learned it wasn't ever supposed to be a fountain or outdoors. But the woman who commissioned it tended to get whatever she wanted.

Many years ago, when I was in college, someone sent out a campus-wide email warning us not to approach squirrels, with one glorious typo: Squirrels, the email warned us, often carried rabbis.

"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?
