I would post some of mine, but they all look like unintentional glam shots, and in retrospect, I'm deeply suspicious of the motives of the photographers who took them. 😂

Hate to say it, but I feel a little sad to be reminded of a time when there was a place for all of us and the values we shared.

I wish I could tell you how much I miss those days.

Yes. It was cold, so I had to go a little more dressed than I might have liked.

We had heavy cloud cover that day, so 98 percent of the LA crowd showed up wearing black.

I turned up looking more like a Good 'n' Plenty.

Dudamel, it's worth noting, conducted the Mahler without a score.

I'm not sure that the culture retained a well-developed idea of responsibility, as a social construct, past the millenium.

Why is the topic of crop yields and neonics so contentious?

The research has factored into legislative decisions to restrict neonics, and it may continue to play a role as legislatures in four more states debate this session whether to allow the pesticides.

Where I disagree: That we should foster a separate press to focus on issues for impoverished Americans.

While there's a place for that approach, mainstream publications have lost credibility because they don't cover the Other America.

Editors need to learn to hire beyond their social circles.

Yes! Hooray! Yee Hawww! It's great to see this recognition for such a hard-working group.

Good thing I stopped at the store this morning . . .

From what I've seen, it bugs the crap out of people.

I've got a different theory: Musk Mystery Theater.

He is performing Trump's story line that governing is easy, and people who hate the complexity of government find this performance reassuring. (See thread in my feed.)

Thanks for confirming.
