STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

San Francisco on a blue day.

Istanbul, Turkey

Beautiful Kathmandu in 2012. I would love to go back to Nepal someday.

Sometimes Portland, Oregon is very Portland. Can you dig it, man?

That’s for you. You’re welcome.

Today’s front page of The National, a Scottish newspaper.

I will take "Blame Obama" and if that fails, "Start a War"

Breakfast of Champions? Well, my spirit animal is the bear so…

Visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico’s funky train station.

Flying over Mount Hood here in Oregon yesterday. One of my favorite shots this year.

Sometimes I’m a shadow of myself.

Portland squirrel is enjoying his brunch.

I just read that Bezos is planning on getting his divorce in Sevilla. At least he has good taste in cities.

Elsinore, Denmark north of Copenhagen. Hamlet lived here. It’s one of my favorite cities in Denmark. #Helsingør

Neptune in the beautiful old town in Gdansk, Poland - one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Europe.

Gorgeous Gdansk, Poland where I’ve been twice. Gdansk has an old town to die for.

Granada, Spain.

Kyoto, Japan. I was there in 2005 and the city still lives in me. #ilovejapan

Damascus, Syria in 2007. I miss pre-war Syria. It was a fantastic place with fantastic people.

Sevilla, Spain. It doesn’t get much better than that.

No, Apple, you can’t track my medications because believe it or not, it’s actually possible to be in your late sixties without being on any!

Sunday Sermon - I am so tired of 'anti-woke' Christians. The hypocrisy is beyond tedious. I know I'm preaching to the choir here on Bluesky, but please, Christian or not, always be woke. Thank you.

Our two cats in their warm igloos. They’ve been with us for six years and have changed the smell around the house as well. #HappyAnniversaryFurryKids

Five years ago in the French Alps north of Charmonix.

Gdansk, Poland, a beautiful city I’m looking forward to revisiting soon.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Portland spring in my bohemian neighborhood.

The world famous Alhambra, in Granada, Spain. When I tried to get in March 23, I was told that the first possibility would be May 25. So here’s to planning ahead instead of improvising…

Danes have always been firm believers in green energy. #copenhagen #khhvn

Sometimes I find Spanish street signs a little confusing.

Even in rain Cordoba is gorgeous. I rate it much higher than trendy Barcelona and Madrid. I guess I’m a Sevilla and Cordoba kind of guy.

Sevilla, Spain. I’m on my way to research a book in Cordoba I never might write.

Back in Copenhagen to do some talks and meeting up with friends and family. I lived next to Rosenborg here for about forty years!

Sweet memories of Lviv, Ukraine during peaceful times. #2017

Here's a puppy to start your weekend. #dogs #puppies #puppy

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Another strong woman speaks the TRUTH…

American healthcare?

Even my toy tiger has her priorities straight!

Great capitals of the World: Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

First snow in Sunnyside Portland this winter. A Scandinavian is not too impressed with this sissy powder.

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

I’m proud to say I survived Taiwan without a hint of anxieties. #Tainan

A drinking fountain in the souk in Damascus, Syria back in 2007. I loved that place but wouldn’t want to go back for all the obvious reasons. #beautifulcities

Bern, Switzerland’s cute capital. #beautifulcities
