The only good thing about him putting his name on so many things is that he is giving us SO many opportunities to watch his name getting torn down in the future. 🍿

Doing my second playthrough of #Satisfactory with randomized nodes. Node location is the same but content is random. This makes exploration worthwhile but also sometimes anticlimactic, like when you get to the top of the Western Dune Forest spire and the pure SAM node is now... Limestone. Meh.
Screenshot taken from the video game Satisfactory. Image depicts the top of a large stony spiral that looks the fossilized bones of a huge creature. In the center of the spire is a plateau that normally contains a pure node of Strange Alien Matter (SAM) but, in this playthrough, only contains a mound of dry Limestone.

Today, we bid farewell to an old coffee mug, for we have collected too many. This one is a bit faded but still in fine shape… it will be sent to Goodwill and hopefully find a new life in a new home. May it amuse someone else as it has amused me for many years. So long, you good old cup. 👏🏻

I put out the gnome yesterday, when the weather was only marginally fair. But today, it’s brilliant out there… a great day, not too hot, not too cold. So very nice! ☀️ Coincidence? Probably not. Gnome did it!

Every day, it seems like things are getting worse. And you know they CAN get better — and they SHOULD. But they DON’T. It defies common sense and common decency, yet it just keeps going on. I begin to ask myself not WHEN things will turn around but IF. It should never have gotten this far.

I still hope that we'll have a valid election this year. If so, maybe this ship turns itself around. But the likelihood of that outcome seems to be waning. Today, it feels more like we're narrowing down to only two possible futures: the end of democracy, or a second civil war.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

I think it's time to take the quotes off of Kavanaugh Stop. Capitalize it; make it a term that we use constantly in immigration discourse. Let Kavanaugh carry this around till he dies, and then let's put it in his obit.

I know he had an amazing career but the only thing I can think of is his cameo in "30 Rock" as a congressman murmuring simulated crowd noise. Why is this what comes to mind? No idea. But the scene gives me a smile every time I see it. He made Earth a better planet, and I'll miss him.
Rob Reiner portraying a congressman in an episode of "30 Rock" — closed captions read "Peas and carrots, rhubarb, rhubarb" which are words that actors will say when they are in the background of a shot because it makes it look like they are having actual conversations.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.
Minimalist white poster with a subtle crumpled-paper texture; small ‘whn.global’ logo centered at the top. A small intro line sits above a huge headline where ‘COVID’ is bright red and ‘is different.’ is black.

COVID is different.
SARS-CoV-2 behaves differently from the viruses most of us grew up with. And treating it like “another flu” is costing people their health.’
Footer: The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.Same white, paper-texture poster and top ‘whn.global’ logo. Large title reads ‘What makes COVID different?’ with ‘COVID’ in red, followed by a bulleted list.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
What makes COVID different?
• It can breach the blood–brain barrier
• It can damage your endothelial lining and increase clot risk
• It can persist in tissues
• It can lower key immune cells
• It may increase cancer risk
• You can catch it multiple times per year
These are not “normal cold virus” behaviors.’
Footer line about the World Health Network.Same clean white poster with paper texture; ‘whn.global’ at top. Big statement line mid-page where ‘Long COVID’ appears in red and the rest in black; two short paragraphs below.
Text: ‘Paraphrased from David Brasure’s WHN blog post, “COVID Is Different.” Read the full article at whn.global/covid-is-different.
Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Persistent symptoms come from real, documented damage. Not anxiety, not imagination, not “just needing rest.” Hundreds of thousands of studies show SARS-CoV-2 affects the body in ways we’re still uncovering.
Just because you’ve had multiple infections and “felt fine” doesn’t mean it will stay that way.’
Footer line about the World Health Network.Same minimalist white, paper-texture layout with ‘whn.global’ at top. A large heading ‘Here’s what you can do.’ sits above a simple bullet list; the final URL slug ‘covid-is-different’ is in red.

Here’s what you can do.
• Improve air quality (filters, ventilation)
• Wear a high-filtration mask in shared indoor air
• Test when exposed or symptomatic
• Stay home when sick
• Use layered protections with friends, family, and workplaces

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable.
Green: Would you still love me if I never got better?

Blue hesitates a moment before answering.
Blue: What a silly thing to ask.

Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore.
Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.
