Democracy enthusiast and anti-autocrat. 4 more years of this rubbish? Hold fast. Lapsed (LAT) photojournalist, still snapping. Chief dog walker and wife-assister. Audiophile. Must read more books!

Anderson Cooper has a special broadcast on LA burning, on CNN right now (Sunday, started 8:30pm PST). This is a screenshot of a thermal image satellite photo of the Altadena CA fire and every one of those dots is a building burning. Astonishing. I've never seen anything like this.

The main reason I'm still on X also is so that I can troll Elmo.

Here we go! Hold fast, everyone. 💪

Just a couple of reasons why I'm still on X, and trolling Elmo is the main one.

2024 has been so off the charts crazy that you may be as exhausted as I am by it. I'm trying to be optimistic about the coming year but it's difficult. Hold fast, I guess, is all we can do. It seems like the world has gone half mad.

😳 Some estimate this is an 80 foot wave at Mavericks, near Santa Cruz CA. Absolutely insane for the Cali coast, or anywhere except Nazaré (Portugal) and a few other places.

I'm watching a firefight out of Nashville between TV journalist Phil Williams, and a bunch of Talibangelicals (Posobiec, Sean Davis) attacking him. They're attacking him in support of this guy. A large portion of conservative contaminated Christianity has lost its mind and turned people off.

I'm tired. America is exhausting now.

This is an incredible version of this classic Dave Brubeck song. Big band, huge soundstage, instruments all over the place. I've listened to it 50 times since I found it last week!
