Remembering El Segundo [A Moment of Beauty] 24th of November, 2025

Today's moment of beauty features images from 10 years ago–a snapshot of a time in my early 30s when life was full of exciting possibilities, and I was living in the beach town of El Segundo:

There's something delightful about realizing that if life were a sitcom, you'd be the weird neighbor.

Happy #Caturday from a happy fuzzy boi.

Erm, fellas, I think you might wanna rethink that name.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Happy Caturday!

I love the play of sunlight and shadow that the morning sun casts on my kitchen door at this time of year.

Running 10 miles isn't so bad when you're outside in the Pittsfield Preserve.

Not sure! The video is a bit hare-y.

In a similar vein, can someone help me identify this cat breed?

A photo of Tybalt, a soft tuxedo cat, curled up in a chair that has a blue blanket on it.

Very sad to report that Tybalt passed away suddenly and without apparent explanation last Saturday.
I miss you, buddy.

A few #flowers on a toasty day.

Love it when my #cats gang up on me in the morning. It's like, "wakey wakey, ma'am, we are UNIONIZED and it is BREAKFAST TIME."

Cat tax:

Happy #caturday from Puck, Tybalt, and Brian the neighborcat.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

A run full of beauty A Moment of Beauty, 7th of April, 2025

First time in a while I've posted several images at once. I'm proud of today's Moment of Beauty:

Too late for #caturday, but here's Puck regarding the world

Neither does Hank Rearden; arguably a better example because he was an industrialist. "Atlas Shrugged" specifically says that he didn't need unions in his plants, because he paid above market rate in order to attract the best talent. He treated his workers well and with respect. All fiction.

Thank you for your tremendous effort, Senator! Your speech was like a bonfire in the moonless night of last couple of months; calling people to come together, and warming our chilled hearts. I hope you are feeling well rested now!

Happy #caturday!

We've finally hit emergency status with regard to Social Security. Jessica provides a script for calling your representatives. Do it!

Happy #caturday!

Be Churchills, not Chamberlains. The continued spinelessness of the Democratic Party is appalling.

If they get rid of the two-term limit on the presidency, I'm hiring a necromancer to bring back FDR.

Don't look up!
