At long last, my podcast is back. Below is just a teaser of the return episode.

In the middle 80s in NJ. Lovely time to visit parks, be outside...BUT it does raise my climate change alarms...

This one of those perfect weather days here that brought all sorts of families out to the local park to take photos by the pond. Love to see it.

I got the chance to fulfill a dream today and meet her at an album signing.

A little something to brighten the end of the week. At the signing for "Better Broken" from Sarah McLachlan.

The kid found their domain.

Reminds me of that scene in "The Untouchables" when they dropped cash on the desk of Eliot Ness. Should this version be called "The Unsaltables?"

First sign of fall...

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Plenty happening in the world but, who else is going to pirate weekend at the New York Renaissance Faire this month? Good excuse to commiserate about the state of things and plot further resistance--just like pirates.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The frustrating part is, the people who push us closer to Mad Max tell themselves they're building a Star Trek future. They learned all the wrong lessons, focus on personal gain and grifting, while they destroy the environment, communities, and the health of the public. Don't let them wear you down.

I am so damn PROUD of TX Dems for standing up and fighting back!!

But this won’t mean anything if the rest of the country doesn’t back them up.

BLUE STATES! IT’S ON YOU TO MOVE!

No more talk.

Start announcing referendums and special sessions to redistrict the GOP out of existence!

Read people, please read

Let your kids see you reading

Books will always better you in some way

Even if it’s only entertainment

Plenty to be anxious about these days. But not this. 😁

I can think of multiple science fiction stories that caution about this sort of thing--so of course they use these ideas as a blueprint. 🤬

As if I play the flute any other way...

Watters: I remember you said you can't win a trade war, no one wins a trade war. We just did. What did we give up?
