Pop culture illiterate.

We are all part of this biological entity called Earth.

The more I learn, the more I know I don't know. This is OK. Nobody can be an expert in everything. Lean on each other’s expertise.

Grok all the hues, shades, tints, tones, and intensities of everything you encounter and learn. Nothing is back and white, and even shades of gray often fail.

I want to snarl and show you
just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn't last an hour
In the asylum where they raised me

So which asylum should I trap them in? Too bad the one where I was imprisoned and tortured for 18 months against my will was sued out of existence. 2 lovers of mine sued it out of existence, then bought the hulk and wiped all it's buildings out of existence. It's now just a field of weed trees.

I'm loving THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT album.

The thing is Biden sees all the same pictures we do coming out of Gaza. Probably worse. And he tells himself what Israel is doing is righteous, necessary even, for the sake of all Jewish people everywhere. That's literally what he means when he says no Jewish person in the world would be safe if Israel didn't exist. He believes that. I don't know why. But he clearly does.

And he's surrounded by institutional actors who don't care either way but who see Israel and genocide as a means to an end.

The Biden Admin is requiring airlines to disclose add-on costs like baggage fees upfront.

It's expected to save fliers $500M/year by making it easier to comparison shop.

Would you be surprised if I told you that Trump's Admin fought against efforts to rein in airline junk fees?

Interview

...with Lara Friedman & Rabbi Jay Michaelson on the Antisemitism Awareness Act

"There's something innane about this: in order to engage in criticism of Israel, you have to be an antisemite"

Aid agencies are running out food since the crossings have been closed and a full blown famine is raging in the north. Settlers destroyed food and trucks in the Hebron, about 1% of the incoming food before the massacres started. Israeli lawyer and peace activist Sapir Sluzker Amran who documented the looting and destruction says IDF just watched including when settlers attacked her.

One year ago, we converted a small piece of boring grass in front of our institute into a wildflower meadow. Now it's blooming for the second time, attracting many insects, and improving the biodiversity and the micro climate around our institute.

Many lawn grasses die back their roots when their tops are trimmed back. Big top, big root system.

That was an odd phone call. A lady I had a close the three hour long conversation with back in 2002 tracked me down and called me. Turns out she wrote a few songs thinking about me, then a few more, and some more. The first one became the lead song on her band's next album, and another of them became the title track for the album. LOL No wonder I thought the album was speaking to me. It was...

(Next week will be the second)

So, we'll be breaking our backs loading boxes in today, my posting will be minimal unless big news breaks.

Yes, we'll be careful, yes we use a hand truck/dolly for the really heavy stuff, so no unsolicited advice necessary. 😘

See you later.

a popular news aggregator active on this site (ahem) is lamenting how many chain restaurants there are and urging people to follow their foodie accounts for metro areas

…using Eater, which is mostly owned by Vox. (Vox is owned by Comcast)

They also urge us to get "local news" from their accounts for local metro areas… great, will they use local papers, and columnists????

Nah…get local news through…axios... which is mostly owned by Cox Enterprises, a multi $bn company

no hypocrisy here!

"Meanwhile, on the individual level, there seems to be little people can do short of not posting anything online."

I've been questioned many times why I don't want my image online. Well... This is one of the issues I could foresee decades ago. I knew technology. I'd seen it advance from discrete components through VLSI etc. Another issue, and even bigger issue is facial recognition.

"Since March 25, when the bird flu virus was confirmed in U.S. cattle for the first time, weekly sales of raw cow’s milk have ticked up 21% to as much as 65% compared with the same periods a year ago."

This is why we can't have nice things.

Don't people realize that the cows the raw milk is from can get sick? Nope, they are too many generations from farms and nature, and don't have a clue how biology works.

Interviews

The first US faculty-led Gaza solidarity encampment

At The New School in NYC, nearly two dozen academics pitched tents inside the lobby of the university’s main building.

"For the state violence our students were subjected to & traumatized because of, we could not stand on the sidelines any longer.... We have to get all war profiteers out of our universities.”
