All I want is a seaside cottage, the distant rumble of thunder, a vintage mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, a comfortable reading chair, a crackling fire, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of freshly-baked emotional support scones.

In exciting Northern Lights news (since it's been oh-so rainy here all month in Iceland): the SMILE UVI (ultraviolet imager) captured its first images in July, and the ESA has just released these astounding shots of an aurora substorm ringing the north pole DURING midnight sun season.

We need AI regulation yesterday. The incentive driving the doom scenario is simply greed. I don't take PAC money from OpenAI, or any AI corporation, or any corporation for that matter.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I typically only respond to correspondence if it’s in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight using a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven, so no, I’m afraid I didn’t “see your email."

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it. A swatch book of solid-colored tweeds. The green tweed has visible flecks of red, gold, and blue.

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.
