Hmm... looks like it could also be entitled "Still Life with Brendan Fraser and Various Agricultural Products."

I had an ocular migraine once, but my visions weren't oracular, probably because i was wearing my third eye patch. I did see some murder cats chasing a hobo kitty once, but it was a werewolf's familiar, so during the next lunar plexus those cats ended up in a bone bag (with a cunt-shaped soap bone).

Cross-posting this question on Bluesky and Twitter/X/"Redsky"(?) for obvious reasons:

Q: Whatever happened to the "marketplace of ideas" that was essential to democracy?

(In the Red, White, and Blue of modern America, please consider me to be colored in various Shades of Gray.)

As Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."

This introduction to "the oligopoly of Pharmacy Benefit Managers" (PBMs) from the federal complaint is worth reading.

I am genuinely puzzled as to why this marine conservation biologist and science communicator has blocked me on this forum. All I did was follow him. I publicly support the BBNJ and ocean conservation. Is it because of my affiliation with a maritime school? In any event, it has ruined my fucking day!

I haven't heard "familiar" used in that context in a while. I learned it from my mother, who also told me about a certain "stregone" ancestor of ours in Italy. Here is a preserved image of a little etymological writeup i did some twenty years ago and used to have on my NYU web pages:

Six-year-old news. Feeling today like the world is about to change for the worse. Maybe I'm just clinging to the memory of better moments.

"The lemming-hearted hordes running ever-faster to the shore singing,
Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead or alive."
-Ian Anderson

The Cross-Examination of Erwin Schrödinger:

ATTY: Is the cat in the box dead or alive?
ES: [shrugs]
ATTY: I need a verbal response.
ES: OK... both.
ATTY: It can't be both. You have to say "dead" or "alive."
ES: I took an oath to tell the whole truth. Neither is the whole truth.

Here's an old essay of mine proposing a biological model for three kinds of lawyers.

Finished the book this #madrugal. Having grown up with my childhood spent alternately between urban NYC and rural VT, the book hit me pretty hard. Demon's being drawn to the sea was a magic wrinkle. The book hits even harder than #RequiemForADream. But #Kingsolver is a whole lot gentler than #Selby.

Kilroy in the snow.

Got to go the whole way...
