You know what's kind of a mystery? Why did the band Steppenwolf only have one good song? Because the one they had defined a whole genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1oXUhrVvZA

Bari Weiss, who now has the power of an entire legacy TV network behind her, has been done in by a bunch of pissed off people on a social media app famously hated by right wingers and I am so here for all of it.

I see where @Maddow is going to have Julie K Brown on tonight. Not many reporters could be considered heroic, but she's sure one of 'em.

@12thRITS I’m so glad this small collection came into my possession. Much thanks to Denise P for buying these great albums back in the day. She took good care of her records, apart from writing her name all over them lol

I spent a lot of this year on boats. I really enjoyed it. I have perfected the art of propping myself snugly on railings of boats of all sizes, trying to take photographs of birds and whales. A tripod is useless on such a boat especially in the chaotic waves of […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I think there will be fewer whales in my life in 2026. But who knows. I plan to return often to Monterey (cat and dog sitting for friends), and will get back on these boats whenever. Until then, thanks for all the fish.

This jasmine rice jacket is making me remember how I used to travel around on Indian railways with a jasmine rice bag to line my sleeping berth (my dad’s idea), so very often I woke up with ‘Thai hom mali rice’ imprinted on my body

This is how we should all file our taxes this year.

Been enjoying @pluralistic's book *Enshitification* a great deal. The chapter on how Google sold out after an employee strike is an amazing yarn all by itself.

Thinking back to when I used to fairly regularly visit the Savannah District of the Corps of Engineers at 100 West Oglethorpe, and what a pleasure it was to walk the streets of that beautiful city. <iframe src="https://www.google […]

Nice sunset in #sandiego last night

The Angel Peak Badlands, near Bloomfield, New Mexico. It is a stark and stunning landscape of colorful, eroded rock formations and canyons surrounding 7,000-foot Angel Peak. #travel #hiking #daytrip #roadtrip #NewMexico #nature #OptOutside
