A man of many parts ( and names).
Maker of things, stuff, and experiences; currently undergoing a literal renaissance.
I live in an old house in Boston with a big black cat, a little white cat, and a curvaceous redhead. How did I get here?

About once a month I remember I have an account on here and I scramble to find all the people I want in my world on /this/ platform and post some blather about how annoying it is that I can’t find a single tool that posts to all my social media accounts
What? Too meta? Er…so to speak

Saw Paul Simon in concert last night with @missminamurray.com I’ve seen him 3 times - each show so different.
On another note, I really want one place to post things that distributes to all my platforms. Does such a thing exist?

Saw “Triumph of Love” at The Huntington. Enjoyed everything about it except the play… great acting, beautiful lighting, clever script—but the main character ruins a bunch of lives to get what she wants. Made me uncomfortable to think of her as a “hero”

Musk Xed that Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim had ties to organized crime. Within minutes, Slim canceled contracts with StarLink costing Musk $7B. He also announced a shift of a planned $22B over 5 years from Starlink to non-U.S. companies. www.msn.com/en-us/techno... Smooth move, X-lax.

I am trying to post here more often but I don’t love the interface and my brain apparently doesn’t shape its thoughts well to 300 character tidbits.

On the more pleasant side, I saw a quirky exhibit at the Center for Book Arts in NYC. It was a collection of “Blooks” — objects designed to look like books, but aren’t books. There were game boxes, a set of different wood samples from the Maine forestry service, and a kids’ spy set from the 1960s

This is going to get dark, but I’ll start with the lighter stuff, and you can bail out if you need to
Tomorrow (Feb 28) is Albert Day.
Albert brought out the best in everyone who met him. He was kind, and patient in a way which now (owning another cat) seems supernatural.

More “barging”, please. Also “storming.” We could use more “storming.”
Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

Story Prompt: you stop in at a diner in a small town. Just passing through. You sit down and discover that someone has left this pamphlet on the table. Maybe your phone is low on batteries, maybe you’re just that bored… but you pick it up to flip through it.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

They are currently winning this battle. The only chance we have to win the war is to remember that we are all in this together, and they are the baddies trying to destroy our communities and the bonds we share.
Fuck those guys. We are better than they are.

Look none of this is difficult.
The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.
