A handmade sign on cardboard that says “Baby’s first protest. I know Gaga when I see it. No kings!” A handmade sign held by a toddler named that says, “34 felonies? I can’t even count that high yet! No kings.”

In honor of Robert Redford, I watched the Milagro Beanfield Wars last night. For a 1980s movie, it was very timely and relevant. Wealthy developers forcing out incumbent residents and taking their water -- the movie works just as well as a climate allegory.

Working in the climate space is mostly depressing these days, but today was fun. I got to celebrate my family’s new heat pump installation with my coworkers. Better than a parade!

Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara when he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta. Did that hurt her?

An enthusiastic 10 month old girl with a poof of black hair triumphantly hold up a smashed piece of golden peach from her high chair. In her other fist is more smashed peach. She wears a big bib to contain the mess.

Never change, New Yorkers. Never change.
Screenshot of a New York Times live New York City Democratic primary for mayor election coverage reading: “I was not quite ready to make a final, final decision, so it was nice to be able to put some of my options down because I think there were some good people.” Alison Delegete, 31, an athletic trainer living in Astoria, Queens, who said she liked being able to rank candidates. She ranked (in her words) “Daddy Cuomo,” Zohran Mamdani, Adrienne Adams, Scott Stringer and Brad Lander.
