What's especially tragic is even the people wanting more parking hate cars. They also don't consider bicycling an option for safety reasons. When I float the idea of a luxury bus service, however, suddenly they smile. And yet "Oh, but THAT'LL never happen!" They say. This is in #BendOR

There’s an old adage about TV news — if it bleeds it leads that needs to be updated for our era — if it outrages it engages.

“We can dream of a better world, my friends, for each other and for ourselves. The more we envision what we desire, the easier it becomes to build that, over time.” My latest newsletter is on the importance of dreaming when the world is on fire: thorncoyle.kit.com/posts/making...

I love you plumicorny owls!

half mile round trip bike ride to the grocery store and I could have justifiably shot three people if we’re playing by ICE rules.

It took a couple of rounds, but a baking sheet, two pieces of parchment paper, and my 20 kg kettlebell turned out to be an adequate substitute for a rolling pin

My favorite!

I keep a near-daily sketch diary (which CSA members get to see!) and this year I did blue horse (nearly) every Saturday. Here's some of my favorites from 2025: #horseart #sketching Get some: goldeenogawa.com/csa

AND Tiny Tim, who did not die but began to bark BARK bark BARK bark BARK bark BARK Until you could hear them all over the park!

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Heeey did you know that you can GIFT a membership to my CSA? If you know someone who'd like to get a weekly dose of fun sketches and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Valdelluna, head to: heliopause.pro/csa/#CSAsignup and check the box: This Purchase is a Gift 💝

BREAKING 🚨: The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine. 😮 Which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging models of early galaxy clustering.

My child has asked me to help him revise for his grade 7 science test on mixtures and solutions the teacher has supplied the most Canadian suggested question: Using your knowledge of the terms dilute and concentrated, explain the difference between maple syrup and maple sap.

I looked up population so you don’t have to. Normalized to Australia’s population it would only be 450:35 instead of 5500:35. But still.

One can but love a seahorse, even though it’s not a little owl

The horses were on Holland Mountain today!

The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act hasn’t shown up on 5 Calls yet, but you don’t have to wait for it. I called this morning, and the aide at Fong‘s office let me know that it’s HR 5298, so I had that in hand when I called Schiff and Padilla. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

I love you sleepy owl
