Artist, cat lover, lurker, occasional post. Terrible tangler. Love Astronomy, Earthquakes, Volcanos, and weird mathematics. I saw Sputnik when it was the only satellite in the sky. My first never-forget moment was Kennedy's assassination.

I wish more of you watched the Tour de France, so you could have gotten a wee bit of joy today as Mark Cavendish rid himself of the curse Eddie Merckx put on him.

That's one way to disarm the police

A crucial part of this story, by the way, is the recognition that decent people standing up against evil people was essential. It still is. Jackson got through it both based on his strength of character and based on key people not putting up with bad behavior.

Thanks for Reggie Jackson for saying this, and contempt and defiance, in advance, to the worthless shitbirds who will say he shouldn’t have and that he oughta leave if he doesn’t like it. Regrettably those worthless shitbirds are now fairly mainstream. sports.yahoo.com/mlb-at-rickw...

Really the best wildfire app out there

If you live in the U.S. West, I highly recommend this app. You can set notifications to alert you when there’s a fire in your county, and other counties, too. It’s that time of year. Stay safe! www.watchduty.org

Watch Duty - Wildfire Maps & Alertswww.watchduty.org Watch Duty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alerts you of nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts in real-time.

If there's one message I wish I could convey to every single politics posting addict, it's that there is nothing ennobling about being miserable. One of the nice things about doing therapy is realizing there aren't any good principled reasons for feeding your own depression.

Mount St. Helens in 1980

Three miles west of the mountain, Robert Landsburg pays a fatal cost for the shots of a lifetime. As the blast envelops him, he winds the film roll inside his camera and stows it. Landsburg's photos later appear in National Geographic—static, heat marks, warping, and all.
