An organization the size of the U.S. Democratic Party should have a slightly deeper bench.

Tom Robbins, in his inimitable style, described such a thing thus:

A snippet from Tom Robbins' autobiography "Tibetan Peach Pie" reading:

"Susan disagreed or didn't care. She pestered, cajoled, and finally - as some women do so effectively - loosened my resolve with the vaginal wrench."

I guess. This sort of thing is disappointing, though:

I know I’m a day behind or whatever, but this passage… Herman!!! 🐋

A passage from chapter 86 of Moby Dick, “The Tail”, that reads:

Such is the subtle elasticity of the organ I treat of, that whether wielded in sport, or in earnest, or in anger, whatever be the mood it be in, its flexions are marked by exceeding grace. Therein no fairy’s arm can transcend it.

Just so you know, the @skywatch.blue labeler is pretty solid:

Nepal is banning a swath of social media and communication platforms. BlueSky is not on the list, but given the scope of the law that’s probably just an oversight. www.medianama.com/2025/09/223-...

Thanks for all this. It would definitely be nice if this sort of information were more discoverable. I will note that right now, it says that Steam Deck compatibility is unknown?

Here's another reference photo for split-finger style for you, from some years ago, my son and a friend.

This is a photo of someone using a split-finger draw, from the Traditional Bowyer’s Bible. Notice also the cant of the bow: it is not held vertically, but is tilted so that the bow and the hand form a V shape for the arrow to rest in.

Here are some reference photos for Eastern (Turkish, Mongol) style thumb ring archery. I will try to find some for English longbow archery for you.

Made some red chile sauce tonight. It turned out a little spicier than I expected; here’s where a drop ran down the side and onto the copper bottom of the pot. 🌶️

I have a great number of silly hobbies.

I have a couple. The one in dexter is the first sword I ever made, forged from a strip from a sawmill blade. The one in sinister is an actual historic weapon I found in an antique shop in Gubbio, Italy in the early ‘90s. If you believe it, with some haggling I brought it back as a carry-on!

This much (two different occasions) both chunks were 2-3 mm in depth; one was about 2cm long and 1cm wide, the other a bit smaller. Both were taped back on with antibiotic ointment and athletic tape, no doctor visit for either one.

And Henry George has the solution.

"EVERYBODY WORKS BUT THE VACANT LOT"

"I paid $3600 for this lot and will hold 'till I get $6000. The profit is unearned increment made possible by the presence of this community and enterprise of its people. I take the profit without earning it. For the remedy read "Henry George".

"Yours Truly, Fay Lewis"

The Fifth Circuit reaffirms that code is speech. This is a big win for our rights to speech and privacy:

Excerpt from https://storage.mollywhite.net/pdfs/TornadoCash5Cir.pdf that reads "Contrary to the Department's arguments, the immutable smart contracts are not services. So even when we consider OFAC's regulatory definitions, the immutable smart contracts are not property because they are not ownable, not contracts, and not services.

Sure. “Value” just means “useful to humans.” If you’re lost in the desert and run across a cistern fed by a pipe that was driven into a seep, it is the labor of the person who built the cistern and drove the pipe that imbued that water with value (usability.)

An old cistern in the Maze district of Canyonlands National Park, fed by a pipe driven into a seep.
