Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

For over ten years now, I've been trying to figure out what other song certain parts of "Blood Capsules" by the Mountain Goats reminded me of.
I'm listening to MONSTER by R.E.M. for the first time in at least fifteen years right now. It's "King of Comedy" that I've been ever so slightly remembering

It's the first #FungiFriday of 2026, and a good time for a selection of my favorite fungi photos of last year!

BBC News non-stop reporting on the fire at the Swiss nightclub like “nobody knows what started the fire” while also showing footage of the inside of the club where robots are carrying around bottles of champagne shooting fireworks out of the top. I’m not a forensic investigator but I have a theory

Took today off from work, and will be doing two things that are now causing my anxiety:
1) I'm getting a massage for the first time in four or five years. It's weird spending money on myself.
2) I'm hanging out with an artist I met last month who is new-er to town and is looking for friends.

Listening to the album this is on for the first time in many years. Those hundred dollar shoes he mentions? That's equivalent to a pair of $234 shoes today.

I queued up a bunch of music this morning to listen to while working, and somehow (not even on purpose) I timed it exactly right for the line "It's 4:00 pm, bad shit is closing in" from "Oblivion" by John Vanderslice to play right at 4:00 pm.

Yesterday, one of my two most reoccurring nightmares came true: My alarm didn't go off, and I awoke way too close to my work start time. My mind was on high alert all last night/this morning and I ended up getting out of bed an hour and fifteen minutes before my alarm was set (and did go off).

"Wait... it actually rules to stay home at your place that you like with all your stuff and go to the weed store and 7/11 for soda and snacks instead of being in your hometown and getting misgendered and talked over for 4 days straight" -a grown adult only realizing this after 8 years of therapy

Okay, on one hand, I love that local news outlets are making Arrested Development references in their headlines, but on the other hand: It was a loose SEA LION, not seal, that was rescued crossing 101 near Newport yesterday.

The conversation I'm overhearing between two women at the bar: One wants to bungee jump. The other suggests, "Why don't you just run a marathon? You'll feel more satisfaction."
I'm about to turn around and scream, "Don't do it! Running a marathon isn't worth it! Bungee jumping HAS to be easier."
