Wednesday morning on the porch
A large white dog with a brindle mask lies flat on a grey deck looking directly into the camera. The house is stage-left; a white porch-fence behind him separates us from the blue sky and a tree that's already losing its autumn leaves

seasons of ... OH NOOOOOO
user gmbencompetnece: According to the song Seasons of Love from RENT, there are 525,600 minutes a year. One line later, there are "525,000 Moments so dear". So, doing the math, we can glean that there are 600 moments which aren't so dear. And I think I just used one of them by walking in on my boss who forgot to lock the bathroom stall. ________ user therothwoman: this post did not even remotely go in the direction I was expecting it to __________ rawr i tell you: note: historically a moment was 90 seconds therefore there are 174,000 regrettable moments, not 600.

his name is Jorm (/yorm/) and i love him
a tree stump pretending to be a mountain, with ferns growing from the top, random weeds around the sides, and one white mushroom off to the right. "Jorm" was the name of the mountain in the 70's movie Dunderklumpen. One day I'm going to put a tiny wooden cabin on the side of it, and maybe an itty bitty bicycle.

decline — the average woman needs to have roughly 2.1 kids. In the U.S., total fertility began dipping below that 2.1 threshold decades ago, and then after 2007, fertility rates plunged rapidly to a record low of roughly 1.6. "I don't have a number in mind where if we hit it, I'm going to start freaking out," said Kearney, the economist at the University of Notre Dame. "But I already look around and see so many young people are finding themselves childless, and I worry we're doing something wrong as a society."

from www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... --
Nearly 40 percent of Americans say they would back Musk’s third party if he creates one: poll

*I also would "support" the creation of Musk's party, because it's stealing Republican and libertarian men from those spaces. You go, vote-splitters. Woot.
Around 40 percent of Americans say they would back Elon Musk if he created a third political party to challenge the Republicans and the Democrats, a new poll has found. According to the survey, conducted by Quantus Insights, 14 percent of voters said they would be "very likely" to support or vote for a political body launched by the Tesla boss, while 26 percent said they would be "somewhat likely." Another 38 percent said they were not likely to support Musk, while 22 percent replied that they were “unsure.” It comes after the world’s richest man claimed he would launch “the America Party” in response to Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which he described as “insane.” A disagreement over the bill between the two men led to an explosive online fallout last month. Lawmakers voted to pass the bill Thursday and it was signed by the president Friday. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE,” Musk wrote in a string of X posts Monday. “Great day for some … fireworks,” he wrote on Friday, adding two fire emojis. Quantus Insights’ poll was conducted between June 30-July 2 among 1,000 registered voters, with a 3 percent margin of error. The pollster highlighted that, though 40 percent of respondents were in favor of Musk’s hypothetical third party, the result was unsurprising. In 2023, a Gallup poll found that 63 percent of Americans supported an alternative third political party. The survey also revealed clear divides across party lines and demographics, with male Republicans appearing to be the most interested in a party launched by Musk. Some 23 percent of Republican men said they are "very likely" and 34 percent say "somewhat likely" to back the America Party, and over half (57 percent) expressed openness to Musk as a political brand. Nearly half (47 percent) of independent men said they were likely to support the America Party. Quantus noted that “skepticism remains high among older and Democratic voters but the signal is clear: a large slice of the electorate is open to something new, something disruptive.” “This is not about Musk. It’s about the growing sense that the existing order is failing to represent the country as it truly is, or wants to be,” the pollster said.

I'm subscribed to @themarginalian.org.web.brid.gy 's newsletter and this poem was in today's email, and it sank deep into my belly and rested there. There is so much good in her work.
STONE by Charles Simic Go inside a stone That would be my way. Let somebody else become a dove Or gnash with a tiger’s tooth. I am happy to be a stone. From the outside the stone is a riddle: No one knows how to answer it. Yet within, it must be cool and quiet Even though a cow steps on it full weight, Even though a child throws it in a river, The stone sinks, slow, unperturbed To the river bottom Where the fishes come to knock on it And listen. I have seen sparks fly out When two stones are rubbed. So perhaps it is not dark inside after all; Perhaps there is a moon shining From somewhere, as though behind a hill — Just enough light to make out The strange writings, the star charts On the inner walls.

in 2019 my spouse & kid & I got to spend a couple of days in Paris and then several weeks touring the UK, and I always thought we'd go back for more.

So the US Administration both knew and did not know this was going to happen. Or knew, and had false impressions of both the intent and impact.
I'm gonna go with that second thing.
from CNN: Israeli attack on Iran may trigger a war Trump sought to avoid, Iran analysts say From CNN’s Nadeen Ebrahim Israel’s attack on Iran is unlikely to push Iran toward a weakened position at the negotiating table on nuclear talks, Iran experts said, adding that it is more likely to trigger a war the Trump administration has sought to avoid. “It is difficult to believe that Israel would and could have attacked at this scale without US knowledge and green light,” US foreign policy expert and former US State Department adviser Vali Nasr said on X. US President Donald Trump “may have calculated this will soften Iran’s position, but just as he was wrong that maximum pressure will bring Iran to the table he will (be) proven wrong that Israeli attack could give him a diplomatic win,” he said. Nasr added: “He may end up getting the war that he and the MAGA base have said they don’t want.” Washington has long sought to limit Tehran’s nuclear capacity, with the most recent negotiations in Rome last month ending with no agreement. A sixth round of US-Iran talks had been scheduled for Sunday in Oman — and it’s not clear if it will go ahead. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute in Washington, DC, said today’s strikes were “not a pre-emptive attack on Iran alone,” but rather Israel “seeking to kill Trump and America’s chance to secure a deal with Iran that prevents” Iran from building nuclear weapons. Ali Vaez, the International Crisis Group’s Iran project director, said that Israel’s attack likely “blew up Trump’s diplomacy with Iran.” “What Trump does next could determine whether his presidency will be consumed by another war in the Middle East or not,” he said. Vaez added that Israel’s strikes have opened the door to further suffering on both sides.
