That's an amazing poem. And thank you for finding the full text.

Still can't find the complete poem anywhere online, though …

It looks like it's "Je veux dire ton nom".

I lived through the 80's. Can confirm.

But was it really living, if I never dressed up as Mark Antony or an astronaut? Poser. Conundrum. Riddle. Enigma.

A fluffy black-and-white cat sitting on a patch of muddy ground. The cat is mostly white, with patches of black, including on its head and ears.

For Caturday, this cat is from the same Roman cat colony as the cat I posted last week. I'm pretty sure that they're related.

How long before Elon Musk persuades a large number of Filipino contract workers to legally change their names to Full Self, so he can finally deliver his promised Full Self Driving product?

Life imitating art.

If this idea ever spreads to the United States, there's gonna be a bloodbath. The Senate and the House will be ghost towns, with tumbleweeds blowing through the halls. Coyotes will make their dens in the ruins of the White House. America's political class will be wiped out.

That's a bummer, because there are so few markets where you can … (checks Red Ogre website) … "subjectify the objective correlative".

This is it. The wendigo was a story told as a warning against the unchecked greed that turns men into monsters & destroys them & everyone around them.

But our modern wendigos have publicists & a media eager to tell us that being a wendigo is the best thing possible. That wasn't in the stories.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

It fizzled so much that Nazi collaborator Michel Papon was able later to become chief of police in Paris (where he presided over massacres of Algerian protesters in '61). They did, however, later try & convict him of crimes against humanity for what he did … but only for what he did under Vichy.

Friends (wearing their Halloween costumes) stopped a man on the street and made me take photos as they posed with him. I thought he was a friend of theirs, so I took my time, taking photo after photo. He looked a little annoyed, but waited patiently until I was done.

It was Michael Richards.

(excitedly) Or a vulture, burying its head in a rotting carcass to get to the good stuff!

(touches earpiece) I'm sorry, I've just been informed that hope is definitely not a vulture. Moving right along now …

"What if an Easter egg, but evil?"

Elon could have the most amazing redemption arc ever, but something tells me it's not going to happen.

The fact that he got his ass handed to him by teenagers isn't going to help his case any either.

Plot twist: it's all AI crawler bots, still desperately trying to figure out how many fingers the human hand is supposed to have.

Polar vortex Photographs taken in New York City during a period of extreme cold weather

It's the first time I've seen it in a good number of years. It was pretty heavily iced-over during the polar vortex in 2014.

There's floating ice on the East River too, but it's more scattered, and most of it probably originated in the Hudson anyway.

Beats the old days, when the letter carrier would have to slip individual slices, one by one, through the mail slot.

I’m glad I canceled my subscription to the Washington Post when there was still something left to cancel.

What’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Mine: "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" -- Blue Oyster Cult

Alternate: "Thankfully, Not Living In Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply" -- Dexy's Midnight Runners

"Back in the Niou York groove …"

What I need to know is why no one is talking about dinosaur polo, obviously a sport that needs to happen.

Also, what dinosaurs do you use? Velociraptors would yield a fairly fast-moving match (if they didn't eat their riders). Apatosaurus polo (or rodeo) would be slower & more contemplative.
