And sandhill cranes I’m so sorry I forgot you.

“The individual mirrors in his individuation the preordained social laws of exploitation, however mediated.”
— Adorno

Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.

Harry I see the breath work you had to master to pull of this performance 🩵

#OtD 1 Mar 1944 a series of general strikes took place across Nazi-occupied northern Italy involving 1-6 million workers. Superficially about economic issues, they were organised by the anti-fascist resistance to undermine the regime. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-...

As it's St David's Day, here are some Welsh stones – near St David's Head in Pembrokeshire. They're named after King Arthur though: Coetan Arthur, or Arthur's Quoit. #StandingStoneSunday

Paradise - here it is in N. Wales - found it at last.

One of the most beautiful songs in all of time.

Oystercatchers being disturbed by the incoming tide on the shores of the Solway Firth last month. Pretty certain the sun hasn’t been seen since. #BirdOfTheDay #FourOrMore #Cumbria #nature #birds #EastCoastKin #photography

In spring 1888, Van Gogh began his orchard series. He painted the trees in bloom with rapid, luminous strokes—capturing the fleeting life of spring. His speed became a way of seeing.

Coolly blocking traffic at the entrance of Post Office Road, Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India, a banana seller with a grey beard and head scarf gives me a justifiable side-eye as he haggles with a potential buyer looking for a good price. Sitting cross-legged in a lungi and half-sleeved shirt on the metal cargo bed frame of the truck painted in bright green, yellow and blue, all around him is a large pile of freshly-harvested bananas of a local variety such as yellaki, elaichi or robusta, showing vibrant colour and sturdy stalks. Next to him is a digital weighing scale. Depending on the region, variety and season, bananas can range significantly in price. Yelakki, for example, can range from €0.80-€0.90 per kg, with prices sometimes from €0.25 to €0.60 per dozen in retail markets. Tamil Nadu ranks first in banana productivity in India.

Yes we have no bananas
We have no bananas today
We have string beans and onions
Cabbages and scallions
But yes we have no bananas
We have no bananas today

Silver & Cohn, 20th century

Like Rain it sounded till it curved

Like Rain it sounded till it curved
And then I new 'twas Wind —
It walked as wet as any Wave
But swept as dry as sand —
When it had pushed itself away
To some remotest Plain
A coming as of Hosts was heard
That was indeed the rain -

I know not that it has been defined before.

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said."

MBS is as predictable as Bret Stephens.

I love this Friday acoustic series if you need something calming.

And just like that, it was officially WWIII

Light reading in the lobby.

We lost our chill.

Photo of a desert landscape. There are prickly pear cactus in the foreground and a lot of dirt and more cacti. In the top left you can see a crescent moon though in fairness it looks like a blob. Then you looking further out over the horizon you see a blue sky with yellow orange and red colors that are in the shape of a the top of a circle.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

if people are using classified information to place bets, then theoretically others can analyze betting behavior to find signals that reveal classified information.

Congratulations Substack on your new partnership with Polymarket!

And to those publishing on Substack, is this really the tool you want from the folks who take part of your revenue?

Fwiw they use this as an identity to aid them in their nazism but they are not true believers of even this stuff. They are predators who use the true believers of this stuff.

They believe in nothing. Except in gobbling money and power and hurting people who disagree or happen not to be white men.

See that’s why you are my favorite.
