Good morning!
How are you holding up?
What are you up to today?

The autumn crocuses declare that autumn is here :)
(Colchicum autumnale - not really crocuses!)

I have them in areas that are dead dry all summer; like the hardy cyclamen, the flowers are a harbinger of fall :)

It's definitely feeling like autumn here.
The highbush cranberry is giving the first bit of autumn color.
I love autumn, even if ours tends to be rather abbreviated for us.

Aside from all the other obvious points it strikes me as particularly cringeworthy to feel you need to put your own face on BOTH sides of the coin
Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

“Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

"During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions..."

And they still gave him the job!

Did he keep the $50k?

And what was his Cava order?

Last week in NYC I sat with a friend I’ve known for 30 yrs. He retold me the story of how he was supposed to be in tower 2 for a meeting on 9/11 but it got cancelled that morning. He worked at a building just a block away. It is stunning the grief folks carry, still.

As far as I can tell the Trump Administration’s stance is that he took $50,000 in cash for totally innocent reasons and that thinking otherwise is deep state nonsense.

No, it’s not plausible.
Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

How does lava sound when it comes to the surface of the Earth? Listen to a lava flow oozing out of its effusive vent high on the southwestern side of #Etna, 28 August 2025. That day no visits by tourists were allowed on the site, which permitted this (relatively) clean recording
