View on my morning walk. Large snow drifts from the high winds this weekend. It was wonderfully sunny blue sky with calmer winds and 2°F / -17°C.

"...seems that the Americanization of TikTok was never about protecting us from a foreign adversary. It was a tactical acquisition of digital infrastructure. Trump’s DHS is treating the Bill of Rights like a market inefficiency... "

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

I thought they were people at the beginning. I was waiting for them to dance.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Well done!

We each can do our part by following the advice of the Venerable Monks to start the day writing down this statement: "Today is going to be my peaceful day." ❤️

View on my morning walk. Take your breath away levels of cold and wind at -2°F / -19°C. With the wind the real feel temperature was -21°F / -29°C

How today today finds us:

View on my morning walk. Strong winds and driving snow and 23°F / -5°C.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ike avoids extra steps on our walk this morning. He does not want to wear boots this week. My belief is old dogs can do whatever makes them happy. Ike does not ask for much, so I have not found any boundaries to that belief. Yet. It is hard to see the health decline of my loyal sidekick.

View on my morning walk. A bit cloudy and 8°F / -13.°C today.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

View on my morning walk. Sun, blue sky and 10°F / -12°C

The water temperature touched 60 degrees (15.5C) Fahrenheit this morning in Coral City and the rainbow parrotfish were literally just chilling with the big yawns 🥶🥱🌈🐟 #rainbowparrotfish #officialfishofmiami #parrotfish #chilling #bigyawn #coldfront #coldsnap #coralcity #coralcitycamera #miami

View on my morning walk. Cloudy and much warmer at 20°F / -7°C

Day after day of news and sound bytes from the Trump regime I have been thinking of the Nick Lowe song "All Men are Liars". I like this cover by Dar Williams. Perhaps someone could create an "All MAGA are Liars" version.

View on my morning walk. Sunshine and 7°F / -14°C.

Happy Truck Day. I used to enjoy all things Red Sox. Then too many changes - announcers gone and players traded - and I lost interest.

My Border Collie Grace is having a broken tooth extracted today. It has was already broken when I bought her at age two. It never bothered her, but now that she is coming 8 this year, I wanted to take care of it. Think good thoughts that all goes as expected. Pic from our trip this past fall.

View on my morning walk. A few small clouds and 7°F / -14°C.

Fish in Chips Today's Potato Chip Pareidolia

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

View on my morning walk. Five times warmer at 5°F / -15°C, and with the cloud cover and light wind it felt much colder than yesterday.

It is hard to photograph James (Whitey). He has been here for over a month and is happy and soliciting attention but has a resting bitch face. With his put off expression, I joke that we adopted the Cat from the lady yelling meme. #Caturday

View on my morning walk. Sunshine and calm 0°F / -18°C.

View on my morning walk. At the end of the path cleared by the tractor the dogs climbed onto the snow pile and barked into the void. Did they see a coyote? Are they complaining about the drastic reduction in hiking time? Dog only knows. Temperature was 1°F / -17°C.

Logan showing me his cold paw this morning. I know we should enjoy every day, but the deep snow and cold reminds me there are just 50 days until the first day of Spring.

View on my morning walk. Another sunny morning, little wind, and 2°F / -17°C.

Rejoice in the returning of the light. The sun set at 5PM today for my particular location on the planet. Each day has an additional 2+ minutes of daylight.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

View on my morning walk. I enjoyed sun and no wind on this 2°F / -17°C day.

The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, 'Bridging Generations', is a call-to-action. A reminder that the responsibility of remembrance doesn't end with the survivors - it lives on through their children, their grandchildren and through all of us. 1/

View on my morning walk. Enjoyed the sunshine on this 4°F / -15°C day.

Look for the helpers.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Judging by the dog's backs I think the snow total was more like 18". Powder flowed over what I am calling my toy snowshoes. Progress was exhausting. I brought Ike back inside. Grace loved the snow. Logan was trying to follow in my tracks and when I stopped he was standing on the snowshoes.

View on my morning walk. I could not make it to my typical vantage point because the snow was too deep for my tiny snow shoes. I think about 16-18" on the ground with some drifts. It was still lightly snowing and not too cold 14°F/ -10°C.
