The memorial for the Edmund Fitzgerald crew at Split Rock Lighthouse was a wonderful tribute. I have to admit, seeing family members present to ring the memorial bell was incredibly emotional. And seeing Split Rock lit up was awe-inspiring.
Split Rock Lighthouse standing atop a large rock cliff with Lake Superior’s shore in the foreground. It is late evening and the skies are dark blue. The lighthouse beacon is lit and sending reflections out onto the water.

Did you know that the creators of the hilarious satirical documentary series American Vandal made another show, called Players? Did you know it takes on the world of esports and is just as funny and incisive? Did you know you can watch it all for free, right now?

Today.
A woman standing in her kitchen. She is taking a photo of herself and her boyfriend who is just a circulatory system. The text reads: It is November 10th now. Your circulatory system boyfriend stands by your pan in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Always stand by your pan.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Eggplant is one of, if not the best, videogame podcasts I've ever heard. Made by game developers, their conversations are approachable and lighthearted all the same. This latest one, being about Consume Me, fills me with joy.

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.
That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

Kneesvember 2025 Day 1
Birds are flying toward a castle with several red-roofed towers built at the top of an enormous oak tree. The sky is blue and there are wispy clouds. The tree is full of orange leaves and there are red and yellow trees in the distance. The image is bordered by a red, yellow, and blue, uh... border, with little stars and patterns. On the Queen's seventh birthday, brids from across the warbler realm were flocking to Oakcliffe Castle to take part in the festivities. (The first letter is illustrated in its own cute little box, technically termed an historiated initial, like in medieval manuscripts)

A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Don't feel pressured to do weird stuff just because it came to you in a vision. Do it because it's weird. That's reason enough
