People Are Painting Crosswalks Across L.A. to Protect Pedestrians
Fed up of waiting for the city to tackle traffic fatalities, Angelenos are taking street safety into their own hands — one bucket of paint at a time.

In the shade on St. John, this white bloom caught just enough light to stand out from the leaves — one of those soft details worth stopping for.
If you enjoy seeing the world from new angles, I’d be glad to have you along.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.
As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

When your entire party is based on the hatred of others it is always just a matter of time before they come for you.
NYT: “.. Johnson’s grasp on his gavel appears weaker than ever, as members from all corners of his conference openly complain about his leadership. Some predict that he may not last as the speaker for the rest of this term.”

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

Tapped into this back when, the 2nd excursion on Acid. 15 years old, coming out from it was deeply disturbing. It took years for me to grasp it in the everyday. So, why am I stating this here? The feeling of receding back to physical form, caught in Indra's web.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.
