Yesterday was Mardi Gras. Kinda wish I had gone. Here’s a painting of a mossy tree on my morning dog walk when we stayed at Fontainebleau Park on the north shore.

for the love of god, a war with Iran is not a "distraction." we're talking about horrific mass death at best and a global conflict at worst. it will also be incredibly unpopular, especially if there are significant US casualties,as seems likely if trump gets the kind of war he seems to want.

I finished THOMAS MANN'S OVERCOAT by Istvan Voros, tr. @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social
It's a madhouse of a novel. Feverish dreams that all the early psychoanalysts would have chortled and rubbed their hands with glee over.
I don't quite know what I just read. Need to mull over it a while.

Morning will make its own music
You can listen, or ignore
Or drown out with all the machinery
Of C Minor or of bhairav or
Construction site or dawn strike
But the world will eventually
Bury you and morning
Will make its own music.

So I was learning about Trump seriously talking of striking Iran & “Mercy Mercy Me” from Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going on is playing in my house & it’s just like WHY has the world not gotten better so everything Marvin is singing about in that album is always current. Another damn war for nothing.

I just read Gunther Stent’s 1977 review of The Selfish Gene (in the Hastings Center Report), and oh boy. A 🧵
Some samples:
Dawkins’ “perverse” definition of the gene “denatures the meaningful and well-established central concept of genetics into a fuzzy and heuristically useless notion.” /1

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

the labyrinth waits, flooded
river horses breach the surface
there is hardly anything
they cannot kill
but this is where you must go
on your vessel of reeds
kick away from the walls
propel yourself deeper within
away from the kind sun
and the sweet valley of silt
away from black soil, blue sky
