You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to scaffold 'em

The criming never stops. Prosecute these yo-yos.

And then prosecute the Trumpy Kennedy Center Board who stole money from the National Opera.

dammit. Ruidoso needs a break.

Report from 1st month of retirement: without my time/brain being pulled in 100 different directions, I enjoy reading long novels again. Voracious reader in my youth; feared I'd trashed my attention span on social media. Nope! Current read: Wayward, by @chuckwendig.bsky.social (sequel to Wanderers).

"Now look what you made me do."

"When you jackhammer into the sewer, you get covered in shit. That’s what the Epstein Files are: shit."

Release all the files. Take down all the rapists and traffickers. #EpsteinTrump

Dam fine work.

"Let's sit and watch some birds." #BirdSky

'twas a lovely evening for a bit of yardwork until the skeeters found my legs. Damn little Aedes aegypti, aka "ankle biters." nm.news/2026/06/02/m...

yes, please do this, PBS

The UUA has released a statement regarding a DOD decision affecting Unitarian Universalist service members and many other religious communities. No government action can erase our faith or diminish the support it provides to those who serve. Read more: bit.ly/4dRzULN #UU #ReligiousFreedom

Having recently watched "Constellation" on Apple TV, reading this news about ISS is disconcerting. Hope they don't have a mysterious quantum time-space splitter up there.

It's weird to go through boxes of old recordings and relive the inexorable media format changes. I have LPS, audio cassettes, VHS, floppy disks, mini-discs, CDs, DVDs, even a couple of old reel-to-reel tapes of grad school compositions. I could never keep up. Might have some old tapes digitized.

please send me moral support. I'm cleaning out closets, and I found the last remaining box of my LP collection, which I have not played for close to 25 years (for lack of turntable). Do I even bother taking them to a used record store, or just donate them to a thrift store?

Folk Song Army, sing it loud: "All you fascists bound to lose"

Maybe Pope Leo convinced Claude to turn back and forswear its foolish ways.

Best commencement speech this year, with a solid "fuck AI" message. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORq_...

I wish that whenever you report/block a spam text or call, the sender could somehow receive an electric shock.

She posted what she meant, and she meant what she posted. Stephen Miller is an ugly fuck.

Who can get a job with total lies? Take the gold from all the other spies? Fucking-a man! (Fucking-A! C-I-A!) CIA Man!

I would like to sign up for clinical trials. This sounds amazing. (watch RFKjr will try to fuck it up)

I am loving the cool, rain-cleaned air filling up my house. Had to grab a sweater and socks, and I have a cat in my lap. Sehr gemütlich.

watch to the end.

and thunder!

NM skeeps: any thoughts on the Secretary of State primary? It's two county clerks: Katharine Clark (Santa Fe County) vs. Amanda Lopez Askin (Doña Ana County)

More rain!

Watched "Constellation" on Apple TV. Lovely actors, phenomenal set-design (esp. ISS scenes), but (spoiler alert) once again reminded how much I hate the plot device of quantum mechanics/multiple realities. Were the two cats in the burning/not-burning cabin thrown in to refer to Schrödinger?

What a fantasy house. Ooh la

Dude’s been reading John Crowley’s AEgypt series?

First: Barry Manilow Furthest: Columbus OH (there for convention), Sting & Peter Gabriel Favorite venue: Lensic in SF Last: Moira Smiley Brutal: Ramones, Tom Tom Club, Debby Harry at Mesa Amphitheater. Painfully loud, even outside. Happiest: Bobby McFerrin Heaven: Gillian Welch and David Rawlings

impeach and disbar Todd Blanche. Impeach and convict Trump.

Time for Thune to whisper in Mikey’s ear and #ITMFA

Please and thank you. No fireworks during severe drought.

Cool, cool #NotCool

Two sad kitties at the vet for annual checkup. I seem to be getting better and popping them into their carriers before they find inaccessible hiding places (pro tip: close the bedroom door).

Severe drought

Well said, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Hold these mobsters accountable.

Hey, friends: tell the FCC that our LGBTQ siblings are an important part of our lives. Warning label, my ass.

Don't worry, Mom! Just drinking beer while standing on a large cornice at the edge of a crater 1000' above a steaming fumerole of an active volcano that blasted itself into shreds 35 years ago. (Mothers Day weekend, 2015)

Mothers Day hike 2015, south edge of Mt. St. Helens crater, 35 years after the eruption. Local climbers flock to the peak on Mothers Day weekend, because it's the last weekend before climbing permits are limited. Everybody wears colorful dresses in honor of Moms.

46 years ago, just before she blew.
