no one has ever looked this good, ever

One of the most beautiful trees in Europe is the 550 year old Arbour Oak in Wollaton Park, Nottingham My youngest son is at university in the City, and took this photo 30mins ago

The owner of X is embracing an explicitly fascist ideology which is opposed to liberalism, universal suffrage, and racial equality—and yet every Democrat in Congress and most journalists still use his website every day. It’s absolutely disgusting.

Happy Fourth of July from Willie and me!

Boy, if this ain't the whole scam in a nutshell

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

'Of the country’s moral and cultural character he is dubious. He compares America to “an adorable woman chewing on tobacco.”' This is an hilarious and apt description of Americans today, too.

"Any Israeli attempt to kill Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister, or Mohammad Ghalibaf, the Parliament speaker, would have derailed peace talks, American officials feared." Ya think?!

no one likes losing, but there is still a lot of joy to be had in fighting you increase your capacities by doing, showing up for one another, not abandoning each other and keeping a loss from turning rout and there is something particularly soul-sucking about people who do not even want to fight

Blazing Saddles is on the list!

#DavidsMonthOfMusic It's been a fun music month. Last one June 30 a song with Yesterday, Today or Tomorrow in the title

What a fantastic sighting!

#DavidsMonthOfMusic For June 29 A song that makes you want to rebel

Today is also a good day to delete Facebook and Instagram

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

Now is a good time to delete your Twitter/X account.

Four years ago today 🌿 Asclepias asperula, our Antelopehorn Milkweed, blooming in Cheesman Canyon #nativeplants

youtu.be/fCWvi8bjSNk?... Here's the complete album track

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 28 A cover song you like better than the original. This is a Doors song, covered by X. The Doors' Ray Manzarek produced it and played on it.

Yes

"...and the other is just for socks and poo poo undies"

I can't pick a favorite Mel Brooks scene, but I say this line a lot. "People hate you. But why do they hate you? Because they are jealous!"

The billionaires who own the social media algorithms, who own the cable news networks, who own the politicians fighting on our screens — they’re turning neighbor against neighbor, weakening that spirit of friendship that makes Texas so great.

There's probably more people at Athfest

I think about gay men during the AIDS crisis, in the face of what often seemed like utter hopelessness, using everything in the arsenal--rage, resolve, defiance, humor, sexual energy, imagination, and art--to prevent despair from ruling the day. Even Larry Kramer didn't simply say, "We're doomed."

This is very good

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 27 A song with something green in the title

What an image

Tom Suozzi and his little band of centrist Democrats are saying the same thing to big money donors. "We run the corporate protection racket on our side of politics. We'll take care of you"

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 26 A song with 'in' in the title

Animal Parade 2 - from a trail cam just at the entrance to the backyard. Additional unique things this time: owls, bats, skunk, and even a (blurry) mtn lion. #mammals #nature #deer #bobcats #bears #love #Seattle #wildanimals #PNW #animals #nokings #elk #outdoors #zen #goodmorning #trailcam #coyote

Correct

Practicing pullovers! 逆上がりの練習ですっ☆

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 24 A sexy song youtu.be/_jCuroTbqBI?...

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

Lots to absorb here.

Georgia, choose your hunk

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 23 A song by a trio Uncle Tupelo Still Be Around

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

#DavidsMonthOfMusic June 21 a slow song ❤️‍🔥

This dude is a legend.

Beautiful midsummer evening, my favorite time of year 💗
