This guy would have been 55 years old told. He was 23-24 when this picture was taken and at this point he's been gone for more than 24 years. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Jeremy! Thanks for letting me spend seven of your 30 years with you!

Just a reminder. This socioeconomic system is The one found to one extent or another in almost every advanced democracy. The "socialism" that American oligarchs (and Republicans and MAGA) have been decrying since Reconstruction doesn't exist.

Via Musclemonkeh at Instagram. Today demolition of the East Wing facade began in order to make way for the Orange Asshole's Grand Imperial Ballroom. Metaphor much? Just a reminder: The East Wing for the past 90+ years has housed the offices of the First Lady. No need for that now!

Stolen from a fellow Hoosier. Saturday afternoon in downtown Indianapolis. And now you know why I refer to Mike Braun as the Gauleiter, not our Governor.

At the end of Obon, each of the five major mountains around Kyoto are lit up to guide the spirits back to the afterlife. You can see Daimon-ji from my in-laws' condo in Kamigoryo.

They're no longer pretending. They're not pretending that they're not racists. They're not pretending that they're not sexist, homophobic, and transphobic. They're not pretending that their weaponized "Christian" theology is something they follow, just something to keep the rest of us in line.

As Foul-mouthed Jeff Tiedrich puts it:
wouldn’t you love to see the worthless scribblers of America’s corporate-controlled media be this brutally honest for five whole seconds?
MOI: And, yes, yes I would!

Cobblestone streets are VERY charming...and a pain in the ass to walk on. I don't have mobility issues but I have been known to trip on uneven surfaces.
Thursday in Stockholm's Gamla Stan (Old Town) I stepped wrong and pulled something in my left calf. Yay! But charming!

They can send us to the Gulag but they can't change the fact that he's made me laugh every day for 22 years. Or that he's been an awesome stepdad to my two children. Or that he's a beloved "Poppy" (I'm "Granddaddy") to our three grandchildren. Life is wonderful even when it sucks.

Out and about last night with my friend Greg (besties since 1971 when we were 13 y.o. 8th graders at Workman Middle School.) So much fun to be cultural ambassadors to the yoot of today!
