15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Nasty consumer-side monkey wrench Amazon's thrown at us—effective 2/26/2025—only 8 days to decide & act. Since this is a book by book process, my library being in the tens of thousands, I need to decide if this is my entire work week's worth of time. youtu.be/KMoCzeGnIss?...

Sounds like a fine Work in the To-Read list. Maybe even in print edition (don't tell my Mate—I'm in enough trouble as it is).
Things are falling apart?

“No need to worry. Things will fall together at the right time. Creation is still happening and we are part of it. Let things fall together.”

Art and culture jammery converge...
Original "Tank Man" (AP/Jeff Wisener, June 1989) has always been an iconic image and one of my favorites in terms of sobering and emotionally packed images—good humans doing what good humans must when the world's gone insane

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.
Your reminder that fame is not wealth and America is broken.

Mainstream people know him as the cabbie from SCROOGED, but he’s a prolific musician and entertainer who has been at the heart of music since the late ‘70s.

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this photo of Mount Damavand in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran. Damavand is a dormant volcano with a cone much larger than the white snow-clad summit pictured here in early autumn 2024

Damavand last erupted about 7,300 years ago 🧪

We ought to embrace our entangled state, work with it and each other, exploring "the limits and possibilities of our shared environment rather than hoping for walls, moats, ethnostates, apocalypse retreats, treasure troves, or spacecrafts to sever us from it."

A PRAYER FOR ALL GOOD THINGS

On this dark day,
when all seems lost,
say a prayer for all good things.

A mother’s love,
a father’s pride,
family and the love they bring.

The treasured ones,
your dearest friends,
feel their arms around your heart.
