Red roses, firey dahlias, and blue hydrangeas.

The concentration of wealth among the richest Americans is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.

Here's an odd vintage project: a Norse couple asked me to do a portrait of their cats, but make it look like the cover of a Frank Zappa album. The building on the TinselTown Rebellion cover is local to their home town.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Before women, the workplace was perfect. It was full of trees. There was no need to labor with your hands. You didn’t have to wear pants, or any form of clothes. Every kind of animal was there.

This'll be the first recipe I'll be trying from it but the batter tasted amazing. The instructions themselves contain a lot of footnotes as well for things you can do ahead of time. If you want a preview here's a video from her channel: youtu.be/kPauR6tP_cg?...

Chris Squire of Yes is the poster boy for fret noise. His bass sound was largely the sound of his frets rattling! Exhibit A is this masterpiece: youtu.be/bYvFnkSo6ro

Less than a week. Get a plan together, if you don’t already have one. If you’re not baking one, what are you buying? If you are baking, can you make one for someone else? The people at the post office maybe, or someone who doesn’t get enough thanks or enough pay or just enough?
Friends! We have reached November, and soon it will be time for Secular Pie Thursday! 26 days from today we will share our pie creations. Until then, if you’re making plans and want to share ideas, tag your pie-related posts with #SecularPieThursday.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.
