Think of an oil shock like a stone tossed in a pond. First splash: gasoline. Then the ripples: airfares, delivery costs, packaging, groceries, construction materials.⁣ ⁣ The ripples are real. Just give them a moment to spread.

Lake forever, problems for now

I know it's Friday, but why is the media still beating the dead horse of Talarico's taco order as if this is some kind of legitimate controversy that will determine people's vote?

The image shows embroidered cloth, likely crewel embroidery, featuring flowers and leaves. The design is reminiscent of 17th and 18th-century chintz and indienne fabrics.

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

This bill passed today in Colorado! Groundbreaking. www.artistcorporations.com

Love these creatures! Needle-felted.

This is very cool. I really admire Maya Lin and love her work. #GiftArticle www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/a...

My friend @iamsteveconn.bsky.social is playing May 22 in the #Nashville area w/a great band! The truth is that the songs are fantastic - an incredibly talented musician + songwriter with Louisiana roots. He's played with the best and his own songs are treasures. If you're nearby, don't miss it!

This hit me so hard this week.

I think about moving back a lot

“Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust.” An overt attack on Canadian sovereignty, meant specifically to manipulate Canadians. That’s what’s fuelling Alberta separation.

The rain has turned to snow here, it's starting to stick on the grass, might snow all night, and I wouldn't normally say this but it's a beautiful sight this year. Colorado has been dry as a bone

My own particular favorite lyrical mention of the 5th of May

We're finally on our own (thank you Neil for writing your mournful, angry, iconic song for this day)

Hopeful gnome of sorrow here

I'm having a "should I ask permission or forgiveness" moment

This is a wonderful, sad, yet ultimately joyful conversation with Cameron Crowe

I just learned that Route 66 is 100 years old today. Its name became official on April 30, 1926.

“Let it pass; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Sensible Thing” #everynightapoem #ofsorts

this is a painting from about 40 years ago, painted when I was living in San Francisco on Ashbury Street. Haven't ever photographed or posted it before but it's grown on me!

This is DAMNED good.

this came up in my playlist, hadn't heard it in a while and it hits different now Oh beautiful, for spacious skies Now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king youtu.be/giZ2tSSojxo?...

When it all feels too heavy, put it down for a while. Do not let it break you, or turn you into the thing you despise. We’ve been fighting this madness for a while. It’s ok to feel weary. Do not spiral into despair. Hang tough. We’re in it together. We’ll get through it. Together.

Pollution levels in Paris after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

On this Alien Day, worth sharing this again: Top is sunset on Mars (from the Curiosity rover, April 2015) The bottom is sunset on LV-426 (Alien, 1979)

As I keep telling anyone who will listen - this is going to require more than voting in the other guys. We have decades of work ahead of us. This is the first time I’ve seen a credible scoping of the challenge.

Woody Guthrie wrote "All You Fascists Bound to Lose" in 1944. He was right then. Bette Midler is making sure we remember it now. Midler just dropped a full music video remake of Guthrie's classic anti-fascist anthem, and it hits different in 2026.

This is a great cheap/healthy recipe for warm weather. I make a half batch (1 can beans, 1 red and 1 orange peppers, 1 avocado, 1-2 limes, some red onion, jalapeno as desired, chips for scooping ). Quick, delicious. Would be great with a some grilled shrimp too.

Boulder has a new sister city: Vinnytsia, Ukraine ❤️

I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

I watched Train Dreams on an airplane today and everybody must watch this beautiful movie, but do not watch it on an airplane unless you want to ugly cry in front of your seatmates, because it will break your heart into a million pieces. What a stunning meditation on beauty and sorrow and life.

Acid-wash denim was all the rage in the 1980's, but the fashion began in surfer culture of the 1960's, where saltwater & sun bleached denim fabric. The more bleached, the more "serious" the surfer... to replicate that look, some took to using dilute bleach or intentional abrasion with sandpaper.

"Besides, there are tears which happen in a day that it would take a lifetime to explain."

If you're not watching the Integrity crew make their remarks this afternoon at their welcome-home event, look for it on YT and replay. Really sweet, eloquent, very sincere, and poignant. Have kleenex.

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

Recollections of a Visit to Leningrad, Richard Diebenkorn 1965

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Safe travels and enjoy the ride to the crew of Artemis II, who'll come home this evening and have done more to humanise spaceflight in my lifetime than anything else I can remember ❤️
