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.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 09/10/2026

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.

I find the signage/branding? a little offputting here

The tree news has been extremely difficult for a few years but this week has been especially rough.

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.

If they could just feel how much less their brain has to work using some of the old ways...like... I didn't even have to used to look at things. I could look at something else and push buttons on another item at the same time. The ease!

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."

Take a second and watch the dvd extras, i mean! Dvd players are still a thing.

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?

I loved it because it was weird enough and engaged with myth enough to be interesting while also fluffy

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).

It's been a long time since I've seen a pro tour of anything and man they had some powerful voices in the cast.

I liked Betelgeuse as a character for the first time I just wish we could have heard him sing cause you could tell the guy had a voice on him but he did a nasty, gravelly Betelgeuse voice the whole time.

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.

Sheriffs & DAs have huge powers over criminal justice, e.g.: often deciding how much local assistance ICE gets. So I worked all year on whittling down the thousands (!) of these races happening in 2026 to find the ones that matter most. NEW TODAY: Learn about the 25 most pivotal November races.

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.
