Just finished listen to this #podcast series on The Age of (Andrew) Jackson. Listen to it and let’s talk. There are some parallels to today’s kultur politik which reaffirms that we are incapable of learning from history.

Variations on a corn plant I see regularly on walks in my neighborhood. Two of the images were edited using the #prequel app.

Seen on my walk #SOMW this house and grounds off of Sunset. It’s super sensual and beautiful and tropical. And two variations using the #prequel app. #Miami #SoFl #kendall #winter

New widescreen monitor at work! That with a standing desk attachment is making having to be on campus more tolerable. It’s really the “getting to and from” campus that is a PITA.

A recent walk I took to blow off some steam. It only burned off a fraction of it but better than nothing!

Si te quieres divertir, con encanto y con primor, solo tienes que vivir un verano en Chicago

An empty train car in the morning. Very early. Busy week at work with multiple exams for our first year student students. 

Just got my copy of @fooditorchi.bsky.social Michael Gebert’s new book The #Chicago Way: An Oral History of Chicago Dining. Cant wait to read it!

Hey, #Miami #Metrorail. This escalator has been broken for about 3-4 months now. Any idea when it will be repaired? No one seems to know anything. Maybe the @miamiherald.com can find out?

With Sinners getting so many noms for an Oscar, I’m def watching them this year. Amazing movie.

Today, @wikipedia.org turns 25 years old. It's never been more important — or under more attack from authoritarians. Here's what to know about how we got here, and what we can do to push for its future. There's no better example of the web we make together. www.anildash.com/2026/01/15/w...

I’m going back to the 1970s to get actualized and realized. *est

Make America Healthy Again but you have to pay a lot more for insurance and healthy food. Good luck. 😂

Hey look, it's my nightmare: AI generated medical books!

Kinda jealous! The weather in #Miami is quite delightful rn, ngl, but I’d love to be in #Chicago.

A couple days ago, I was honored to join so many others in celebrating @marksking.bsky.social for his big 65th birthday bash online! Mark is an amazing HIV/AIDS activist. It gave me a lot to think about as I just passed 30 years since I received my own diagnosis. Happy Birthday, Mark!!

Is this a fucking joke?! www.theverge.com/news/841664/...

Democrat wins Miami mayor’s race for the first time in nearly 30 years

The brush behind the water level indicator was quite menacing today!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I listen to old radio shows and this one is a favorite. This episode is eerily relevant today. “Sea Legs” is the story of a spacer, long gone from Earth, who attempts to return home. During his absence, however, Earth has changed in ways horrifying to him.” tangentonline.com/oldtimeradio...

What will Downtown look like in 2045? A new plan calls for energized nightlife and more public transit. blockclubchi.co/489Z5Fs

Don’t be fooled by Dumpf’s reversal on releasing the Epstein files. Bondi and her staff scrubbed every inch of those files of incriminating names. So, voila, they will be relatively squeaky clean! This is my prediction.

If you feel generous, please consider making a #donation to help pay for my friend Ross’s #medical needs. In this country, we shouldn’t need to have Go Fund Me type campaigns to pay for #healthcare!! helphopelive.org/campaign/260...

The depravity of human beings knows no bounds. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

Home insurance is getting less affordable, and less available, as insurers raise prices and pull back from areas with extreme weather. That's forcing families across the country to make tough choices. n.pr/47QGKwH

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide. Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

Finally, a bit of good news. Kim Davis is a joke. Conservative Christian, my ass. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

Happy Friday!! I went to dinner with some of our Medicine as a Profession (MAP) staff and faculty tonight after work. I’m really fortunate to work with some amazing people! We went to Hometown #Barbecue in #Allapattah #Miami #goodtimes

Apartment Building at #Sunset in #Miami

This tree was giving mood. #nature 🌳 Gnarly roots and all.

Listening to this Wondery / American Scandal series of episodes on Deepwater Horizon. I kind of remember it but there have been so many environmental disasters related to oil, how can one keep up?

I don’t want to jinx anything but I’m having a productive day at work.

#1sed #1secondeveryday for September 2025.

This is the very last #Kmart in the United States. I think also in the world, but I’ll need to verify it. It’s literally a shell of its former self. This is where the garden department for a much larger former location of this store.

Listening to this original fiction #podcast from @amahnke - it’s excellent, like all his podcasts. I also really like pods from @qcodemedia. This is set in New Hampshire and involves 🧛🏻‍♀️

#AI doom and gloom? What's your take on the (near) and (far) futures of AI and how it will affect humans? www.vox.com/future-perfe...

This is no joke. #Miami has become unaffordable for over half the population (54%) in the city / county. "They might have to choose between food and child care or car insurance and a medical procedure. Many are just a crisis or two away from financial ruin."
