Man With Sign, May 15, 02026
It was a long day yesterday, much of it spent in a car driving to and from Amherst. I sleep soundly, wake with the alarm, and drink my coffee in quiet before heading out to vigil, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and setting up my sign and speaker. Today's hand-held message is the simple and undeniable WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL. Craige's not here today, alas.

Man With Sign, May 14, 02026
I wake with the alarm and drink my coffee in a mild stupor, then assemble myself and head out to the roadside, arriving at 7:30 and setting up. Craige is still out, though I hope he'll be back for tomorrow's vigil. Today's hand-held message is CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS. Cool, cloudy, with the promise of rain later on.

It's a grey morning as I wake a few minutes before the alarm, sip my coffee in the kitchen, and head out to vigil, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and setting up. Craige isn't here today, so I'm a soloist. My hand-held message du jour is SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. Which statement shouldn't be, but apparently is, controversial.

I wake briefly a few hours before the alarm and am momentarily consumed with worry that I won't be able to get back to sleep, but the next thing I know the buzzer is rousing me and I groaningly head downstairs for pre-vigil coffee. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up sign & speaker, today holding up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. No Craige today.

Monday finds me really groggy and sore, lurching a little as I get ready for vigil. It's pleasantly cool outside, with cloudy skies and a light breeze. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 and set up my stuff. Today, as with every Monday, it's ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE, because there's not enough room on a hundred signs, let along two. Craige arrives shortly thereafter.

It's cool and clear out here this Friday morning as I make my way to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:31 and setting up. I lean on the guardrail and hold up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS, waving to Craige as he walks over a few minutes later. He's been having some health problems and I'm kind of worried.

It rained last night; the morning is moist and cool as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle, arriving at 7:31 after nearly causing an accident crossing the road (a driver stops for me, others ignore him, and the whole situation becomes disorderly and stupid). I greet Craige and set up my various, then lean on the railing holding up 2021 IPCC REPORT: "CODE RED" FOR HUMANITY.

Man With Sign, May 6, 02026
I wake a little after six and spend the next forty shifting back and forth between awareness and sleep, eventually rising with the alarm, drinking a cup of coffee, and heading out to a solo vigil (no Craige today), arriving at 7:30. It's (almost but not quite) warm, with temps in the mid-50s F. Today I hold up EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED.

I wake with the alarm & lurch into verticality, move downstairs for pre-vigil coffee and toast, then don my coat and head out into the clear and pleasant morning. The lilacs will be blooming soon. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29, set up my equipment, and hold up CLIMATE CHAOS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE NEXT PANDEMIC. Craige arrives three or four minutes later.

Monday — I wake a few minutes ahead of the alarm, pull myself into a semblance of shape, and after my coffee and toast head out to the roadside, feeling a little bleary but not too out of it. It's pleasant spring weather with a nice blue sky and a slight breeze. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up my kit, and hold up my usual ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE.

Listening to Zia Mohiuddin Dagar playing Raga Yaman.
Well outside my expectations.
Slow but not dreamy.

Friday and I wake about ten minutes before the alarm, roll out of bed, take the extra time to linger over coffee before heading out. Arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 exactly, mount my big sign to the post, couple my loudspeaker, lean on guardrail and hold up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Craige arrives a few minutes later.

Thursday morning finds me bleary and sore, the consequence of several days' high activity in performance contexts. It's damp, promising rain, as I make my way to Roosevelt Circle. Today I'm a soloist; Craige has something else going on. I arrive at 7:30, set up my big sign, and hold up SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY.

I wake presumably before the alarm (as I don't hear it), then realize I hadn't turned it on last night, and it's now 3 minutes later than usual. But there's enough slack in the system that I can have my coffee and toast, assemble myself, and get out of the house in time to reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30. Yay me. Today I'm holding up LET'S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER.

Tuesday morning is cool and clear, with temps in the mid-40s and a soft breeze. I get out of the house early and arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:29. Today I'm a soloist; Craige's out but hopes to be here tomorrow. I set up my big sign, couple my bluetooth speaker and settle in on the guardrail, holding up THINK IN EONS — ACT NOW!

Monday is clear and pleasantly cool, with temps in the upper 40s F. I reach Roosevelt Circle early, at 7:28 — and exactly the same time as Craige, who's just a meter ahead of me on the sidewalk. We exchange greetings and I set up my stuff; today is ALL-BLACK SIGNAGE as it will be every Monday until sanity returns, which TBH looks like it's gonna be a while.

Man With Sign, April 24, 02026
I slept late last night and wake up very bleary and unmotivated. Even after I get a cup of coffee inside me I'm still dragging myself out the door, but once the morning's cold air hits me in the face I start to wake up a little. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31, set up my equipment, and hold up MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Craige is out again today, alas.

It's a little warmer, in the 40s F, as I arrive at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31. Craige had alerted me not to expect him this morning, so I'm a soloist. I set up my big sign, couple phone and speaker, and lean on the railing while holding up SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE IS A POOR FOUNDATION FOR PUBLIC POLICY. I'm drowsy, a little sore, not highly motivated. But I'm here.

It's late April and the weather is back to being just over freezing again. Huh, some spring this has turned out to be. I'm well-enough swaddled that I don't notice the cold, arriving at Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 for an hour as a soloist, holding up CHANGE OUR CONVERSATION / CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION / CHANGE OUR POLITICS.

Tuesday's cold, almost freezing. So much for signs of spring everywhere tra la la la, eh? I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30 and find Craige already there, glowing with virtue. The skies are clear, there's a slight breeze, and after I set up my big sign and speaker, I lean on the guardrail holding WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL. Because (drum roll, please) it is. It totally is.

@johncarlosbaez @mdreid @androcat I went hunting for the Locrian mode in Hindustani khayal music (north Indian art music), which uses a variety of different modes.
The building block of khayal music is a raga, which is, roughly speaking, a melodic template. Often the template (raga) prescribes a particular mode (thaat), but there are many ragas that mix modes or use non-standard modes. Locrian is not one of the standard modes.
There is a very popular raga, called raga malkauns, that is technically in Locrian mode. But is a pentatonic raga, involving only the notes 1, 3♭, 4♭, 6♭, 7♭ (where the unadorned numbers refer to the Lydian scale), so it is also (technically) in the Phrygian and Aeolian scale. In khayal music theory, it is classified under the Phrygian mode (bhairavi thaat).
Nevertheless, I did find a raga that uses the full Locrian scale: raga lalit-bilas. From the name, it seems like it is a mixture of raga lalit and raga bilaskhani todi, two fairly standard ragas. But the raga lalit-bilas itself is quite uncommon. It is listed with a recording of a performance on https://oceanofragas.com/. I am attaching the audio.
