George is concerned.

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.

Nor’easter aftermath, Sep 27. Brick and mortar foundation and sections of wall. Then a new, shallow waterway, then a new sandbar, then the sea.

One in particular does. I looked him in the eye and said,”I am done. I am absolutely done.” The list is long. It starts at home, it goes to work, it continues into the community, and it ends at the federal level. I am done. Not sad, not mad, not sorry. Move aside. I am done.

My two favorite people-watching pics. Saturday, September 26, 3:22 pm, peak of the nor’easter has passed. L: metal detectorist absolutely unbothered by waves piling up close by. R: Dog: convinced the sea is calling to him Human: wore shorts because this happens every time
A metal detectorist in a red jacket scanning in the foam following a nor’easter, completely unfazed by the waves breaking. A very excited mid to large size black do, pulling on his lead to get into the waves. His human, in a blue windbreaker and shorts, suffering the cold water and wind because doggo WILL be going in.

L: Friday, Sept 25, 6:56 pm, view southward as the nor’easter was rolling in. Had to do some color correction to capture the pinks and blues on the horizon. R: View is westward, 7 minutes later, no color correction.
Pale pink and gray-blue sky , seen from behind a tractor trailer and two sedans on a highway in the mid Atlantic as the weather is changing rapidly. Seven minutes after the previous photo, this time looking due west from the same highway. Several trees, some field and grasses, and the roof line of a low outbuilding can be seen against the neon yellow, pale, peach, fiery, orange, gray, and pale blue of the sunset. The lens caught some sort of blue highway marker in the lower right quadrant of the photo.

Daily bunny no.3443 heard a noise
Several bunnies stand at a campfire in the woods at night. One small bunny has a fearful look as they try to tell the others about something. The other bunnies around the fire have a mix of skepticism and surprise on their faces. In the background, a dark shadow of a mothman, with red glowing eyes, is visible.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

As angry as I am with Sen. Coons, if it’s him or a Republican, I will vote Coons. ALSO: Coons has been primaried. There are 3 others: Hansen, Appelhans, and Louve. Hanson ran as Repub in ‘24, so no. Appelhans is bright but 🤷‍♀️ if he’s electable. Louve is solid. She gets my primary vote.

Nobody reading this was given a "choice" in what to believe or how to feel about ourselves. That "choice" was made for us, by our abusers & bullies, & over time congealed into our conditioning. Recovery is self-compassionately waking up to the realistic choices we DO have, now.

I see on-the-ground evidence *on a daily basis* of how people's involvement in No Kings, Indivisible, 50501 has grown into ICE monitoring, flock camera protests, city council blowups over data centers and running for office. THAT was the point of No Kings, all along, from my perspective.

It’s a black cherry. We will be keeping it. Need to consult an arborist as it grew at an angle. It’s still relatively young so we’re hoping it can be coaxed to vertical. Or more vertical.

Things are being moved. Max is Big Mad. So much extra work. Stacks of stuff require close inspection. He has to fight the throw pillows and whomp the magazines. No one helps. He was unable to rearrange the Buddha and lamp. They’re secured with museum wax. He tried! Frankly, he’s exhausted.
An unrepentant and pugilistic tuxedo cat sits on a stack of housewares, glaring at the viewer. 

In the background lie the utterly defeated throw pillows and some magazines that have been beaten into submission.

This tree sprouted from where we took down an enormous oak in 2014. Can’t figure out if it’s a rare chokecherry, or a variety of black cherry, or something else entirely. It makes the local birds pretty happy so we won’t remove it.
