A painting of morris dancers, sort of, from the creative mind of painter Sharon Eisley. The human guy is in Deer Creek kit (from Palo Alto, California); the bull is probably from Pipe and Bowl (Renaissance Faire team); I can't place the others, but Sharon was […] [Original post on sfba.social]

If anyone in #Sebastopol or west #sonomacounty is interested, my wife, Kalia Kliban, is currently doing a live woodturning demonstration at the Sebastopol Gallery, 150 N. Main Street. She has a lathe set up in the front window, and she's making bowls (which is what she mostly does) as well as […]

No, #nyt, the charges against Robinson will not "shed more light on motive." They will shed precisely zero photons worth of light on anything other than what the Utah state government and the DOJ want everybody to think the motive was. If the charging document reads "Defendant shot and killed […]

I just downloaded the latest upgrade to #android 16 on my #pixel 8 phone. I now seem to have the time permanently displayed in my notification bar.; the "9:18" in the picture. I don't want it there. Anyone have any idea how to make it go away?

Is it still called a "benchslap" when the judge directs it at a higher court rather than at a litigant? Whatever you'd call t, Judge Alison Burroughs of the Massachusetts District Court just issued a really good one, directed at the Supremes. Footnote 9 at pp. 27-28 is about the most elegant and […]

First off, the phrase "kosher salt" is deceptive. I'm no expert, but I believe that all salt is kosher. It's really kosherING salt; that is, it's the kind of salt that's used in the preparation of kosher meat to draw out all of the blood. It's better for that than table salt because its granules […]

Molly is celebrating International Cat Day even though she's just a domestic cat. But she's happy that international cats like Siamese, Burmese, Abyssinian, Russian Blue, and English Shorthair get their own special day. #cat #catsofmastodon #catsoffediverse

It wasn't actually a miracle, and God had nothing to do with it. My dad agreed to let us get married because I asked him if tradition was more important to him than I was. And I did the puppy-dog-eyes thing, which probably helped. #contradictasonglyric #HashtagGames

Honestly, Ms. Streisand, wouldn't you agree that people who, for example, are the beneficiaries of large trust funds are luckier than people who need people? #contradictasonglyric #HashtagGames

Is my #cat Henry the cutest of them all? I think he is. If you do too, vote for him in my local magazine's Cutest Rescue Pet contest, and maybe he'll win a cash prize and a bunch of free vet services for the rescue outfit I adopted him from. (And also a nice restaurant dinner for me and my wife […]
