Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, Whose sages are silenced and whose bigots haunt the airwaves, Pity the nation that praises conquerors and acclaims the bully as hero, Pity the people who allow their freedoms to erode and their rights to be washed away... ~City Lights Bookstore, SF

You may have heard it sung by the lovely Jack O'Connell in "Sinners" but no one sings "Wild Mountain Thyme" better than Dick Gaughan. #TransatlanticSessions www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_Bo...

Point Lobos California. Beautiful.

I met these guys today 🥰.. usually they are up a tree, or sleeping somewhere, and why wouldn’t you be 😁 but today they were out and about. ‘Diego’ and ‘Brunhilda’ European Brown #Bears #JimmysFarm U.K. 📷🐻💚🐻🌳☀️ #Conservation #Animals #Nature #EastCoastKin #Photography #GetOutside #Breathe

I've been feeling sick all day long. News of the day has been crushing, especially here in California where we have a state holiday on March 31. I continue to support and respect the farm workers who feed us.

The mist didn't lift today, but there were moments of beautiful light.

Watched Hamnet last night night & it’s a beautiful, tragic masterpiece. 🎭 #hamnet

It's easy to feel overwhelmed and outraged by the ongoing violence; if you're feeling helpless, it really does help to help out a little, if you have capacity: donate.wck.org/campaign/749...

I would strike the Strait of Hormuz out on 3 pitches. Slider outside. It feels like it's drowning. Curveball in the dirt of course it's chasing it. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea sucked kill yourself. And Bang 97 inside corner. Youre out. Youve been out since the day u were born

Particularly great ep of IMO. Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson interview Conan O'Brien. Highly intelligent, funny people who give a damn discussing family and work and loss and, of course, the Oscars. Yay! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqUH...

I’d at least wager in the lead up to the Oscars there was at least some discussion about Conan acting offended that Coogler didn’t want him in Sinners to play one of the Irish vampires. Also definitely some discussion of Conan at some point dressed as a KPop Demon Hunter.

‘In a world which actively encourages division […] growing a garden together is a conciliatory, neighbourly endeavour.’ Kate Brown’s ‘Tiny Gardens Everywhere’ — our March BOTM — argues the case for making gardeners of all of us, writes Tallulah Brennan www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/03/tiny...

Logan Webb was dominant in his second WBC start for Team USA. Here's how the Giants' ace fared in the quarterfinal win over Team Canada.

Friday, the sea. Refilling the tank. (It’s brimming!) Just as I took this, a very surprised-looking deer emerged from the shoulder-high scrub next to me.

At this moment, Presidents and citizens are gathered in Chicago celebrating the remarkable life of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. I'm in California remembering the day in 1988 when I was lucky enough to see him speak at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium.

There’s a little bit of cloud magic this morning

Another massive melodramatic sky this evening as the flood had receded enough for us to go out. When we returned as darkness fell, we saw the sharpened Ramadan sliver of moon & Orion, bedecked with jewels, above the house.

As freezing temps & power outages strain Kyiv’s infrastructure, hospitals in the Ukrainian capital are facing one of the hardest stretches of winter.

Last night in the wild wind & downpour, this little desert house was a ship on formidable seas — its cantilevered roof a catamaran immersed in the fierce sky — all night creaking & moaning. In today’s bright light we are cozily marooned by floodwaters, cut off from the mainland of the highway.

Having this as the view on my morning run from our desert outpost makes it more than worthwhile to have to work via Zoom all day. The camera rarely captures just how the mountain dominates this place.
