Nice! I was just reading this passage of #Ulysses last night. The morning light on Dublin Bay reminds #StephenDedalus of Paris “à la lumière du matin” 🤓
Excerpt of James Joyce’s Ulysses, Episode 3 “Proteus” Stephen is walking on Sandycove, a beach near Dublin harbor. “His feet marched in sudden proud rhythm over the sand furrows, along by the boulders of the south wall. He stared at them proudly, piled stone mammoth skulls. Gold light on sea, on sand, on boulders. The sun is there, the slender trees, the lemon houses.Paris rawly waking, crude sunlight on her lemon streets.”

Actually kinda pissed at myself for forgetting “The Wrestler”. Should’ve found a spot for “Adaptation” too (Sorry Slumdog & 911).

Outstanding prose as others have noted. It definitely divided my book club tho. Was just looking at some of my highlighting 😉
Picture of highlighted text from the 2024 novel “Martyr!” by Kaveh Akbar. “Cyrus knew she was talking about the hero and villain of a Wagner opera, but only because of a joke in an old episode of The Simpsons.”

On this day 52 years ago, my brother Brian was born in Bethesda, Maryland. He was brilliant, funny, philosophical and compassionate. He loved the beach, the Dead, the Orioles, pickup sports and playing cards with his boys. HBD Bri Bri, I miss you and love you, bro

Happy #StMagnusDay
I took these pics of the 888 year old Cathedral that bears his name in #Kirkwall #Orkney in summer of 2023
🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇳🇴
An internment marker at St Magnus Cathedral with decorative flourishes including a disembodied hand holding a crown; a bottom-heavy hourglass; a skull and crossbones; and a pious, kneeling woman beneath a rose. The text on the marker appears to separately include the names “Elizabeth” and “Wallace”. Statue of St Olaf at St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall. He is depicted carrying a long axe and standing on what appears to be a small dragon with a human head wearing a crown Norwegian Bible at St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney UK. Despite its proximity to the Scottish mainland, Orkney was part of the Kingdom of Norway until 1472. Construction of the Romanesque cathedral began in 1137. Well lit interior of St Magnus. Arches and columns leading to a large stained glass window in the background.

My first visit was in 1982, second in 2023. Can’t wait to get back for a third time 🇮🇪 ☘️
My nephew is pictured ahead of me, descending the observation trail at Sliabh Liag near Donegal. In the background, clouds cast shadows on the well lit, blue water of the North Atlantic. Say sleeve league.

NY Post cover boy RFK Jr looking agitated and confused in front of a microphone. The raspy-voiced and formerly heroin-addicted HHS nominee faced questioning from a Senate committee on Tuesday. The main headline on the tabloid’s front page is “Hoarse Manure.” The subheading states that the nominee struggled to defend his wacky notions and conspiracy theories during the hearing. The New York Post was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. It is conservative and reliably maga.

A green and khaki camouflage trucker ball cap w/“Washington Football” and the team’s new burgundy and gold-trimmed “W” logo. “1932” references the year the team was established in Boston. It also has a shiny NFL authentic merch sticker on the bill.

On the last day of 2024 please remember the most vulnerable. The conditions in Gaza are unforgiving w/recent heavy rains & biting cold. Children are especially susceptible to these pitiless conditions. Please help the Farwanas (Khalil, Noreen, Mohammed, Yassin & #Ghaith). Link in comment; plz share

Please consider the plight of the children of #Palestine like Yassin (and his brothers Mohammed and #Ghaith) during the #Christmas season. Every donation large or small helps this family with many urgent needs
A traditional Nativity scene including the Holy Family and the three wise men is pictured. A baby lamb regards the blessed infant. The stable is depicted as being under heavy rocket/mortar assault from above. The Star of #Bethlehem is still visible, however. The words “No More Genocide” appear on the eaves of the stable. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

This is Mohammed Farwana, the eldest of three brothers (Yassin & baby Ghaith) who are displaced in #Gaza #Palestine The Farwana family depends on donations to pay for essentials like milk and flour which are all incredibly hard to come by and exorbitantly priced. #Peace #Ceasefire 🙏 🕊️ 🇵🇸
A smiling, 11 year old, fifth grader Mohammed Khalil waving a flag of Palestine. His education and dreams of becoming a doctor are on hold. Youngsters and brothers Mohammed and Yassin Farwana “high fiving” on some steps. This image is from their mother’s Instagram page and predates the most recent siege of Gaza. A very handsome duo I must say. A younger Mohammed being recognized as an outstanding student Mohammed loves to swim. He is pictured here in the water with goggles and wearing what I would call a rash guard (spf swim shirt)

Screenshot with the following text: I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law,” he said. “Ireland wants a two state solution and for Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security. Ireland will always speak up for human rights and international law. Nothing will distract from that.” To date, Israel has not applied similar measures to other countries, including Egypt, Spain, and Mexico, which also joined the petition accusing Israel of genocide.

I went with a colleague to the Marin side of the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures and some storm troopers strolled by
The cables and towers of the Golden Gate Bridge and the hills of Marin rise behind a group of storm troopers crossing the bridge on foot patrol. (Heavily edited with old Instagram filters circa 2015)
